It's worth noting that this is a product of a time when everyone was competing to be the most "extreme". Sonic and Mario were both being rebranded to resonate with 90s audiences, so it's not surprising to see that come through here too.
It's just fascinating that Link behaves like Johnny Knoxville rather than... well, any chivalry role-model.
Mentally I'm sorta conflating the late-80s and early-90s video game commercials, but there was definitely a period where Nintendo was attempting some rebranding a-la the Mario Brothers Super Show and the Zelda cartoon.
This show went from 'peeping Tom' to 'someone who would likely commit a sex crime against you'.
