Listen carefully.

 

[zaneebaslave]

Wait... WHAT?! Why is THAT there?!

 

[StinkomanFan]

They used music from OoT! Holy Crap!

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Spoiler tags, kids!

 

[Clownbot]

Catchy.

 

[Blaziking17]

WTF!!?? How did they get that!!??

ROFL!!!

 

[Meleeruler]

Ug, and here I thought I'd be special and make this thread. Darn you and your Kotaku, Buzz.

 

[Lore]

Woah, that's awesome.

A bit obvious rip off though... XD

I would have posted this back around 12:00, but I had to leave.

I did find this hysterical though. Completely out of the ordinary.

Spoiler

I expected to see something simple like a Triforce on a sign or something, but no, this is legitimate news editing. First Google, now Fox? Zelda will take over the world, I assure.

 

[Mewter]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Yeah...

I hear nothing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Interesting...it seems they have removed the article...

For those who were unable to see it, it was a news report with the legend of zelda music used in it

 

[Kholdstare]

oh lol

Fox strikes again!

 

[SkylerOcon]

First they complain that video games are ruining childrens lives, and now they're stealing it's music? GGs, Fox.

 

[Spire]

They pulled the article. Here's the video posted on another page:

[condemned_soul]

Holy **** that is so freaking epic. its up there with the bottle glitch from OoC. WOW

 

[Ochobobo]

LOL! House music ftw

 

[GTA_Hater_331]

Cockrell employment sounds like a bunch of common white collar criminals to me. I bet some of those people get nailed on employment fraud and parole violation charges. Some of those managers would be looking at some serious time under me.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

What is OoC?

 

[SkylerOcon]

What is OoC?

He means OoT.

That Bottle Glitch.

 

[LSDX]

I didn't know whether to lawl or facepalm.

Also, not to sound demanding to a mod, but if you're going to make a topic that doesn't seem lock worthy, at least make the title less troll-ish.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

This topic warranted a wacky title so as to spoil the surprise.

 

[Skadorski]

The link is broken, which is a shame because I wanted to see it considering the title.
Or maybe its just my comp.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

I added a fixed link. Fox apparently tried to hide its blunder.

Liking Zelda doesn't seem like a blunder to me...

Using Zelda music without securing rights from Nintendo for a public newscast can get you into legal trouble. Granted, it's probably not a big deal (I doubt Nintendo cares), but Fox obviously thought no one would notice. Well... we noticed.

 

[Phantom7]

Wow, apparently Fox News has decent taste in music! Where did they get that anyway?

 

[Clownbot]

It's this great thing called "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". You should check it out sometime.

 

[Alzi]

I'm guessing fox is a news program in America.

I lol'd though they could get in some trouble for using such awesome music without asking.

 

[Skadorski]

Oh My Gosh That Was Amazing!
Sticky This Now!
I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't care it they......snuck that in

 

[SinkingHigher]

I hope nintendo sues so they can afford to make some real games.

 

[toon_marth]

Awesome. Whoever did that video for Fox has good taste in music.

 

[Phantom7]

I hope nintendo sues so they can afford to make some real games.

Oh, they have money, but their wasting it all on casual games instead of real games.

That'd be hilarious if they sued them, though!

 

[StinkomanFan]

Nintendo has a love-hate relationship with their fans. They love the fans' money but hate the fans themselves.

 

[Tacel]

That's awesome.

 

[Phantom7]

Urrgh... I guess I meant HOW they got it. Did they rip it directly from the game with no permission?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Urrgh... I guess I meant HOW they got it. Did they rip it directly from the game with no permission?

Probably found an Mp3 or something

 

[Tacel]

That song is on the soundtrack.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That song is on the soundtrack.

I doubt they ripped it from the sound track

 

[Phantom7]

That would be the most epic thing ever if Nintendo sued them! Although, we don't have any evidence they used it without permission...

...God, I really hope they did.
