SNL's viral Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs GTA 6 sketch probably went down fine at Nintendo, former marketing leads say, even if it framed Link as being "for nerds"
Former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang believe Nintendo would have a positive internal reaction to the recent Saturday Night Live sketch comparing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to Grand Theft Auto 6. Despite the sketch framing Link as 'for nerds,' they argue that Nintendo would appreciate the game being positioned as a significant title alongside GTA 6, and that the audience's loud reaction to Zelda in the sketch ultimately undermined the joke.
