“The Legend of Zelda,” one of the most popular videogame series of all time, is in the works as a television show at Netflix.

The video streaming service is in the early stages of developing a live action series based on “Zelda,” about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule, said a person familiar with the matter. As it seeks writers to work on the show, Netflix is describing it as “Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said.


quote:


Nintendo is very protective of its intellectual property and has allowed few adaptations over the years. An animated “Legend of Zelda” series ran for just one season in 1989. A 1993 movie based on Nintendo’s “Super Mario Bros.” was an infamous bomb.

As it is still seeking a writer to work on the series, Netflix has a long road to travel before a “Legend of Zelda” series actually becomes a reality. It’s also possible that Netflix or Nintendo will kill the project before it gets off the ground.

I hope the entire series is just a live action reenactment of Link to the Past. The series just begins with Link waking up in bed in that tiny arse little shack and going outside and starts throwing bushes.

I used to love those Nintendo cartoon shows in '89. I am skeptical about this though.

I'm not sure how you make a show people are supposed to take seriously based on a video game where the main protagonist doesn't talk.

I'm pretty pumped about this! The original has to be in my top 3 games of all time.
