'Excuse me for selling my animation cel, Princess!'

by JC Fletcher on Mar 15th 2008 12:30PM

When we started to write this, we were going to make jokes about how Link hates Zelda when he's not rescuing her, and how they have a dysfunctional relationship and all that, and then maybe about how Super Smash Bros. Brawl started with a Super Smash Bros. Yelling Match.

But then we noticed something: Zelda is clearly in the foreground, because she's drawn slightly bigger than Link, and because Link has turned toward the camera to look at her. And yet his hair is somehow in front of hers. A horribly out-of-context scene plus a technical flub? Good luck outbidding us!

Hell, that's just Dic for you, they can't animate for shit.

Dic Owns! Zelda was one of my favorite cheezy cartoons of the late 80s. This Zelda and Link should of made it into the smash bros game :-) along with captain n.

Hey, that's another character they could have make it into de Brawl cast, Captain N!!!!!

Damn, i'd have lovedto use someone like him, with an ability to control a carachter (only nintendo characters) with his power glove, and firing like fox using the nintendo zapper, man, i'd really would have loved something like that!!!!

I wanted RockMan and Waluigi in the SSBB cast:(

Link's shoulder also seems to go over her chest. My hypothesis is that Link is being carried off by Zelda, who's become an Amazon warrior, and he's yelling at some passerby to save him. They aren't, of course, and Zelda's going to bash his brains in with a hammer.

That's the east german Zelda.

FOLLOW THE LEDGEND...

This is really just an assembly error. Each of those elements would have been on a different cell (there's probably a good dozen acetate cells to make that up), and whoever assembled the cells together put Link's hair over top of Zelda.

The title should be:

'Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssse me for selling my animation cel, Princess!'

Well excuuuuuuuse them.

hahahah

Aren't animation frames made up of 3-4 different layers of plastic cells? My guess is that whoever is selling this handpainted cell put the Link cell over the Zelda cell.

Super Smash Bros. Yelling Match -- I lol'd.

I hope this is ok, it has the scene that has that cell, so pretty much its just bad animation, since really they had a cheap budget making it with Super Mario Bros Super Show, there were many many issues with the Mario Cartoon then there were for Zeldas.

And then, the day finally came when Link was excused.

Violently.

When one man quests to be excused, he finds himself partnered a with a princess who constantly rides his ass about everything. This summer... Steven Segal... is... LINK!

I laughed.

Weird, I was just watching this cartoon last night

Maybe Zelda ate one of poison mushrooms that Mario always eat and she is actually in the background.

Gives new definition for the term "Toon Link"
