Could someone help me find which issue James found for the zelda rap lyrics, please.

The US rap commercial of The Legend of Zelda, was inspired and a reference to "Andrew Martin's" Zelda rap in the "Nintendo Power #6 – May/June 1989's" Mail Box page.

I think you can go to www.racketboy.com and download the pdf versions of the mags.

It's more likely to be the other way around? Zelda released in North America in 1987, and this magazine released a whole 2 years later. It would be weird if the first commercial for the game wasn't made until 2 years after it was published.
