The father-daughter duo, who were especially close, starred in a Nintendo commercial together in 2011.

In the commercial, Zelda asks her dad if he's confusing her with the fictional video game character. He smiles back, "Hard to say, you're both pretty magical." Watch it below:

Zelda - the firstborn of Williams and his second wife, Marsha - often accompanied her father on the red carpet.
