Zelda intro on Philips CDi (Worst. Version. Ever)

An excerpt from wiki--
"As a result of the early negotiations between Phillips and Nintendo to develop a joint CD-system, Phillips ended up with the rights to develop games around five Nintendo characters. Among those selected by Phillips were Link and Zelda from the popular Legend of Zelda series. Wand of Gamelon and Link: The Faces of Evil were given the relatively low budgets of $600,000 each and it was decided by the Cambridge-based development team, led by Dale DeSharon, to develop the two games in tandem in order to more efficiently use the budget. On this low budget, each aspect of the two games was handled by the same small group of people. The two most maligned mistakes, the full motion video (FMV) animation and voice acting were also the result of cost-cutting and industry inexperience: The FMV sequences demanded by Phillips were outsourced to the newly opened Russian market, and the results, with their Russian style, were disastrous; the voice actors, selected from local AFTRA actors were completely misdirected and amateurish.[3] As these two areas were considered key benefits to the CD-based technology, their flaws were all the more magnified."

I guess we now know why there is no voice-acting on the Nintendo systems!
