Jason from GTA 6 feuds with Link from The Legend of Zelda on SNLs Weekend Update

On last night's Saturday Night Live, the clash between two video game icons took center stage during the Weekend Update segment. Co-host Colin Jost discussed the immense buzz surrounding the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto VI, which is set to launch on November 19. This hype has reportedly led other game developers to delay their releases in order to avoid direct competition.

To delve into the rivalry, Jost brought onto the show's desk the main character from Grand Theft Auto VI, Jason (played by Marcello Hernandez), and the main character from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link (played by Mikey Day). The ensuing exchange resembled a previous sketch from the season, with Hernandez's character, Red Heart, taking potshots at Day's character, Aerial Tramway. Day, in turn, retaliated with increasingly energetic attempts to put down the Red Heart character.

Jason's portrayal of GTA VI focused on its promise of destruction, chaos, and sexuality. He also derided The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as TMPNG, or "Too Many Puzzles, No Guns." Meanwhile, Link worked tirelessly to promote the puzzle-based gameplay, light combat, and fairy bottles of The Legend of Zelda. As Jason continued to unleash jabs at Link, the latter became more and more agitated and defensive, with brief moments of respite between exchanges.

Watch the full skit above and decide whether you'll be heading to Hyrule or Vice City when the new releases hit in November.
