The Legend Of Zelda Rap

Smosh's "The Legend Of Zelda Rap" is a humorous and irreverent take on the iconic video game series, The Legend of Zelda. The song is performed from the perspective of Link, the series' protagonist, who is often mistakenly referred to as Zelda, the princess he frequently rescues. The lyrics are filled with bravado and humor, as Link asserts his importance and mocks various elements of the game and its characters.

The song opens with Link introducing himself and immediately correcting the common misconception that his name is Zelda. He boasts about his numerous heroic deeds, emphasizing that he accomplishes them without any help. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where Link's confidence and frustration with being underappreciated are evident. The repeated references to his tights and his courage highlight his unique and often misunderstood persona.

Throughout the song, Link takes jabs at various characters and elements from the game. He expresses his annoyance with Navi, the fairy who frequently gives him advice, and humorously compares the irritation to listening to Katy Perry. Link also mocks Ganondorf, the main antagonist, with clever insults and boasts about his own prowess and popularity. The playful and exaggerated nature of the lyrics reflects Smosh's comedic style, making the song both a tribute and a parody of the beloved video game series.

The rap also touches on themes of recognition and identity. Link's frustration with being overshadowed by the title of the game, which bears Zelda's name, is a central theme. He demands recognition for his efforts and heroism, asserting that the true legend is his own. This playful yet pointed commentary on the nature of fame and recognition adds depth to the otherwise lighthearted and comedic song.
