R.I.P. Robin Williams, the creative's creative

I didn’t know Robin Williams, but his work was pretty special for me personally. Good Morning Vietnam and Dead Poets Society were there at the very beginning of my understanding of war and life and death, and for that, I’m truly grateful. He didn’t create those things himself, nobody does, but the soul of the story was in him, and his ability to take the madness of the mind and bring it alive through words was unique and unparalleled. Anyone who worked with him is singing his praises right now, and there’s no more fitting tribute to the man than the body of work he left behind.

Watch This (Now Heartbreaking) Robin Williams Commercial for Nintendo's Zelda From 2011


With the news that Robin Williams died today at 63, remembrances of the beloved actor and comedian are flooding social and mainsteam media. There are countless moments from his career to cherish — like the “It’s not your fault” scene from “Good Will Hunting” — but one of the sweetest just might be this 30-second commercial for Nintendo’s Zelda, in which he stars alongside his daughter Zelda. It was released in 2011.

Per the video’s description on the ZeldaUniverseTV channel on YouTube, “Robin Williams is a big Zelda fan — such a big Zelda fan, in fact, that he named his daughter Zelda. Nintendo recently contacted them to make an ad for Ocarina of Time 3D.”

In a rather wonderful AMA (Ask Me Anything) Robin Williams did on Reddit last fall, he gave credit where credit is due when a Redditor wrote, “If it’s true that you really named your daughter Zelda from the game series you are a pretty cool guy.” Williams’ response: “It wasn’t actually me, it was my son Zachary who came up with the idea. But once Marsha [his wife from 1989 to 2008] and I heard it, we said it was great.”
