Altough i was born a bit after this ad, i still have fond memories of magazines ads for games. From the font to the background, it's clear they put time and thought into it, but it still feels a bit homemade.

A lot of people are shitting on this ad, and for good reason, but most people seem to forget that these ads were seen as badass at the time and worked. I'm not saying they were good or noble or anything, but they worked for the audience they were trying to convey at the time.

Very true! In my head, I also thought Zelda was very medieval and that was my headcannon at the time and in some ways, it very much is a medieval, fantasy game. It's definitely become less so on the medieval portion, but even in Ocarina of Time, characters like the Great Deku Tree talk in the middle ages English sort of way. So, Ocarina had that the spirit of that, so the advertising sort of matches with the style.
