Netflix Is Developing a Live-Action ‘Legend of Zelda’ Series

Interesting series, Yes or No?


     'The Legend of Zelda' is one of the most popular video games ever made, and now there is a work in progress series made for '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.     
      Netflix is said to be working closely with Nintendo, the Japanese game developer that has made about 20 “The Legend of Zelda” games since the original, which was released in the U.S. in 1987. 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. A Netflix spokeswoman declined to comment. A Nintendo spokesman said the company “doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation.”
I like to play video games, when I am at school I don't bring my Xbox, but I do play Minecraft. When I am at home I play 'The Legend of Zelda' games sometimes. I think my favorite one so far is 'Twilight Princess' food the 'Wii'. I think it would be interesting to see a series about the game, but it depends if the series will be about a previous game or it will be different.

  1. The part that interests me most is that it's being described as "Family friendly game of thrones" if the quality of this is half as good as game of thrones it's going to be awesome.

    Also agreed that Twilight Princess was definitely one of their best, with Majoras mask close second.

  3. Part of me wants to have hope that they could somehow work this into a good series but a larger part of worries that it will just be a money machine of little quality. We'll see!
