Classic CD-i Zelda YouTube poop: dinner blaster

We’ve made it halfway through CD-i Month without posting a single YouTube poop video yet. Yet if it weren’t for poop videos, the CD-i Zelda games may not be so well-known today. So it’s time for an oldie but a goodie: a well-known poop featuring the king and his dinner blaster.
