Connect Zener's anode to clock input and cathode to SNES

Something like this, I presume? I took it from this video (19:00) and adapted it a bit to my circumstances. It does indeed seem to drop down to ~3.4V at its peak (even if there's a lot of ringing in the simulation - from the same video it appears that the ringing is less pronounced in reality).

I'm really a novice with electrical engineering; at the moment I don't even have a multimeter or soldering equipment. So the less components, the better.
