News of a live action TV series adaptation of revered Nintendo classic Legend of Zelda has surfaced, courtesy of Netflix and already the subject of much scepticism from fans.
The as yet officially unconfirmed project is still said to be in its infancy as the development team is seeking a writer capable of pulling off such a feat.
Netflix’s supposedly intends for the TV show to be like a “family friendly Game of Thrones” – though how this will be accomplished with a mute Link is unclear.
Leaving aside the question of whether such a show could be pulled off, whether such a project is even real is also the subject of some doubt – both Nintendo and Netflix seem to be refusing to comment on the news.

Family friendly
Game of throne
pick one
It teaches you how deep sibling relationship can be.
i hope it will be better than that super awful part of the American-made Super Mario Super Show.
Life isn't family friendly.
I really hope Link doesnt talk in this one. Every time someone talks to him, he'll just stare back and move his arms at someone and that'll be the answer/response to what the other character said.
"Link, what happened in Goron Town?"
...
"It got blown up?! Is Zelda okay?!"
...
"Thank goodness! I almost lost it there, sorry about yelling. It must really annoy you when i do that...............Naw, youre okay with it."
oh and Link still yells stuff, because thats what he does.
well EEEXXXCCCUUUUUUUuuuuuuuUUUUUSSSSEEEE ME PRINCESS!
All throughout the series we hear Navi go off.
"Hey!" "Look!" "Listen!"
It's too early for April Fools, dammit!
i hope it has the same quality actors, and writing because if it only relies on you being a nintendo fan who plays the games or something like that, count me out.
There are things in this world that just don't adapt well to live-action...This is one of them.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Netflix. Is. Shit. And so is this shit.
What the fuck... The Jews are gonna ruin the Zelda IP.
Shut up, Cartman!
They should cover Ocarina of Time first, and then take other popular titles and fit them into the timeline. I would suggest the Wind Waker following Ocarina as it would in the timeline but from a TV show standpoint, it would be expensive to do a lot of water boat travel.
Season 1: Link in the forest, Deku Tree, meets Zelda, some temples, end with Zelda abducted.
Season 2: Link Temple of time visit, temples, Sheik, Zelda rescue. Ganon sealing.
Season 3: New enemy, some new locations, maybe a temple or two.
Season 4: Ganon escapes, shit happens.
By season you of course mean episode, don't you?
Nah. I would assume they would do as 13 episodes per season. I didn't want to complicate the post by listing locations, people and scenarios but wanted to just say the more basic shit. Realistically theres enough material to do it.
The Legend of Neil was a pretty alright series for comedy...but this will probably suck lol.
Can't be worse than the cartoon Zeldas...
Live Action? WTF. At least make it into an anime.
Preferably by SHAFT. They did a decent job with Hikari no Megami, which had Link in it.
Bitch, please.
Shaft would totally fuck up a Zelda anime.
Do you seriously want Link looking over his shoulder in a dumb way every 5 minutes ?
Wasn't it SHAFT who animated the little anime SMASH 4 short of Link and Pit fighting and Paulatina shows up to save Pit who was getting his ass kicked?
It looked pretty cool
Yes, that was called Hikari no Megami.
That'd be Zelda, wouldn't it? I think only girls do that in SHAFT anime.
I've only watched three (Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, Nisekoi and Mekakucity Actors) but I think that's enough for me to form an opinion on this.
I would totally watch a Zelda anime made by SHAFT, yes.
Wasn't it SHAFT who animated the little anime SMASH 4 short of Link and Pit fighting and Paulatina shows up to save Pit who was getting his ass kicked?
It looked pretty cool
Aw COME THE FUCK ON!
The POINT of Zelda is that it is an idealistic and hopeful Fantasy story where being a brave person with a good-heart CAN make the world a better place.
joe-pee-pee-maltin's hateful cynical nihilistic waste of time play-of-chairs is the EXACT opposite of the ideals expressed above.
See that!!!!???!!
Link is the girl, and Zelda has to save her.
I'm not sure that live-action is the way to go for this. I also hope Link's character isn't as annoying as it was in the old cartoon.
how can it be like Game of Thrones? Haven't you seen the stuff that happens there? Incest and... The Red Wedding! The Red motherfucking Wedding! That is Games of Thrones. Making it family friendly means that is nothing like it anymore.
Because the only thing Game of Thrones has going for it is shock factor, right? That's an extremely shallow way of looking at it. Let's just forget about the lore, world building, diverse set of characters and their respective developments, and good writing and directing. Let's just discredit all of that and say that one moment is what made the show.
Honestly, it's pretty damn obvious that they're only looking to GoT as production inspiration for things like: film location, casts, costumes, etc. all which has nothing to do with the direction of the script.
Link and Zelda will be brother and sister and then...
Rya gets raped by a Goron.
this is the kind of grotesque claim only a producer can blurt. "hey guyz ! [our stuff] [buzzword] [imaginary connection] [popular hit]".
But Link is just a short blond unruly kid who likes to beat innocent chicks, break stuff and swing weapons around... OH WAIT ! we have the PERFECT ROLE for him !!!
"like Game of Thrones"
So Zelda will be Linked in the first episode?
Great, now feminists are going to whine about live action Zelda.
You get male feminists too, the estrogen flows well in some guys too.
It's what they do.
IT'S ALL THEY DO.
fish gotta swim
birds gotta fly
feminazis gotta whine
I've never watched Game of Thrones, but I know a Live-Action LOZ show should instead be like the games, in that it's good and entertaining...
...And family friendly.
*And also I too would prefer an anime.
Someone apparently never watched Game of thrones then.
Well Excuuuuuuuse me princess.
