Imagine Army of Darkness filtered through the 8-bit world contained in the gold-covered cartridge of Legend of Zelda,and you’ll have an idea what to expect from the very funny web-series “Legend of Neil.”
Drunken slacker Neil wakes up in Hyrule (after a magical experiment in binge drinking and auto-erotic asphyxiation!) and must fight through each level of the game to save Princess Zelda. Written and directed by Sandeep Parikh, who plays Zaboo in “The Guild,” the series also features Felicia Day as an ultra-naughty fairy.
The just-released third episode of the second season is a very special — and also very Not Safe For Work — musical episode that also makes a good jumping-on point for the series. Relive one of the finest video games ever without hooking up your old Nintendo.
