ALttP Commercial - 神々のトライフォース CM

The image of a female Japanese Link dancing energetically with a witch, her uncle Alphon, and an alligator nicely sums up this quirky piece of media. ZeldaPower's Kao researched the commercial's background, information about the actors ,and the idea behind the thing. This was one of my first translations, so the existing page on it has some errors. I've posted revised versions here! Bored one night, I even spent hours figuring out the dance moves, complete with movie stills. Visit the original ZP article to see the choreography! This was fun. Take a look!

リンクは女の子何て！このクレージーなCMでリンクは日本人のゼルダといろな神々のトライフォースからのキャラと一緒に踊る。見た外国人が「何じゃ、こりゃ？」とよく聞いてたから「ZeldaPower」の「Kaokan」が調べてくれた。あたしは歌詞を英訳して、振り付けを覚えた。楽しかったよ！見てご覧！
