Well, I was going to get defensive, but I know that'll get us nowhere...so I'll try to keep a level head as a disclaimer. As always, everything I say is IMO.
If you're trying to gain interest among people whom identify with the younger brother, this a great commercial. However, I would feel dissed if a character I identify with is humiliated. It certainly would not make me say, "Wow, I was such an idiot for buying those shallow realistic games. I want to play Zelda because I want to be just like that guy who gets humiliated by his younger brother." Case in point: I made a statement that I thought was a fair post of personal opinion, but, from your opinion, my opinion was an attack on your idea. So you got defensive. And when you got defensive, I got defensive. And when one is put into defensive mode (as would a person who identifies with the older brother), the person stops listening.
Chill, man, I was just poking fun at you.
But, really, most people are going to overlook Zelda because it doesn't look "cool", my idea for the commercial was try to show that though it may not look cool to them, it is a very awesome game.
