So if you haven't been connected to the internet in awhile, you might have missed that Netflix has been courting the option of bringing back a Legend of Zelda TV series back to the general public. If you are young, like i'm sure some of my readers might be, Zelda had a TV show back in 1989 that was aired once a week in place of the Super Mario Bros. cartoon that played for the rest of the week. In the TV show, they loosely followed the stories of the first two video games for the original NES, with some combinations of characters between the two games. Adult versions of these characters were then added later on to the Captain N TV show that aired from 1989-1991 on Saturday Mornings.
Nothing has really been posted about this upcoming Live Action Series by Netflix, because it seems since working in tandem with Nintendo on their intellectual property, Nintendo likes to keep everyone in the dark. Hopefully this show does come to fruition, so all the Nintendo Geeks in the world can finally feel connected with some of the general public.
This all leads into my actual post. Will this TV show have the success it might deserve like other Comic/Video Game TV shows, or will it follow in the style of Video Game to movie mockeries that we have had to deal with in the past? Everyone remembers the Super Mario Bros. Movie right?
If this succeeds, what are some other Video Game to TV shows would you like to see?
I'll post my ideas and what others post in response next post.
