This is part 1 of a long number of episodes; not every episode will introduce the series as a whole, because that would be ridiculous. You have to remember that a number people that view our videos are in the age range of 9-13. These people would have barely even played Minish Cap, never mind Ocarina of Time and A Link To The Past. Some people how no idea on the extensive history of a series such as this without conducting research themselves. We've alleviated that research in 1 minute.
Episode 1 of any series we cover will inherently require that we tell you what that series is.
I was the same way with the Mega Man series. When I started out, it was the 3rd game in the Battle Network games. I thought it started with this series and so did a few of my friends. It was not until someone showed me one of the classic games (Megaman 2 most likly) that I started to understand how old the series is. I think that the intro should stay in (for the first part at lest).

Besides that, it was a good little trivia video, can't wait to see more Zelda.
However, this does sound like a good idea for those of us how don't care about the background of the game. Though if you don't care for background, why are you watching a video for cut content?
