Never heard of the CD-i is there an emulator out there? Also is this the last time Nintendo made a game for a console they didn't own?
Up to you how much of that counts.

I took my video camera, pointed it at my monitor (my computer was too slow for desktop capture), and sent the video to my friends, and it became a bit of a meme that we'd send each other. If I had only had the foresight to upload it to YouTube, I could have been the person responsible for the "My boy!" memes.
The games suffer from awful controls, but I actually did manage to complete Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon...there is a bit of fun to be had playing them, though you'd be better off finding one of the Link to the Past romhacks at this point if you want some more Zelda action.
Very grateful my mom ignored me and and my protestations that we get one because if we had adopted this thing, I know the battle to get a DVD player in 1998 would have been way harder (even then, I had to get it as a DVD-ROM on the computer I got for Christmas and had to buy the stand-alone player myself in 1999 once I turned 16 and had a job).
Also, these games are complete trash. But this partnership was historically very interesting.

Though the game was never released, someone leaked a copy years later, and playthroughs were subsequently uploaded online:

You're better off watching the cutscenes on youtube, the game is truly terrible. Also the CD-i focused on "interactive media" rather than what most would consider a good game. Hulk Hogan's "Thunder in Paradise" was a companion game to go along with his TV show. Youtuber SuperGreatFriend has a good playthrough of it. It looks awful.
Honestly, even Thunder in Paradise has its moments if you play it with a group of friends to laugh at. As somewhat of a bad-movie lover, I actually have a more modern appreciation for the crap on the CD-i.
Years and years ago (~2006-2007), after one of my many Wikipedia rabbit-hole nights, I stumbled upon the CD-i, and consequently the Zelda CD-i games. I immediately had to find an emulator, and play Faces of Evil, and I couldn't stop laughing once cut-scenes started playing. I took my video camera, pointed it at my monitor (my computer was too slow for desktop capture), and sent the video to my friends, and it became…

I mean, they're no end to it. I've played them a minor amount, and couldn't stand them at all (they're in the 2d side scrolling style but just... janky for lack of a better word,) but these cutscenes will live forever for us. "I wonder what's for dinner." "I just saved you from Ganon!" "You did not!" "Oh boy! I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos!" "Great! I'll grab my stuff!"
has always been one of my favorite. I used to occasionally take audio samples from the game and put them as texting and ring tones on my phone, back when people did such things.
ALSO, look on youtube for the I.M. Meen PC game...the animation is made by the same studio [0].
