Netflix Is Developing a Live-Action Legend of Zelda Series - Polidicks

[I]Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess.[/I] Reported by the Wall Street Journal, they're a pretty trustworthy source. [QUOTE]“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. The “Zelda” games have traditionally included swords and sorcery, like “Game of Thrones” or “Lord of the Rings,” but typically with a more light-hearted, kid-friendly tone. 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.[/QUOTE] [url]http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2015/02/06/legend-of-zelda-netflix-series/[/url]

They made a show about fucking Marco Polo, so I would not be surprised if this were true.

Please dont have puns or catchprashes

The twist: they're using the Phillips CD-i for inspiration

[QUOTE=Zender Troop;47088960]Please dont have puns or catchprashes[/QUOTE]Please do, because the only way it's going to be watchable is ironically.

You know I've always figured that Elijah Wood would be a decent Link, at least voice/acting wise. Live action wise I dunno, but I'm open. [sp]Nicholas Cage as Gannon[/sp]

[QUOTE=usaokay;47088958]Now wait a quick fucking second right there.[/QUOTE] We all remember what happened with the last time Nintendo made a live action show... *flashbacks to Super Mario Bros Super Show*

ExcuUuuuUUUUse me Princess. Yesterday Nintendo sent me a survey and one of the questions was "would you watch a live action tv series?" Didnt think anything of it but i did screenshot this: [URL=http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/mark6789x/media/Capture_zpskgzosh9t.png.html][IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w378/mark6789x/Capture_zpskgzosh9t.png[/IMG][/URL]

[QUOTE=zombays;47089041]And Daniel Day-Lewis as Ganondorf Oh, fuck that sounds amazing.[/QUOTE] Considering how big Ganondorf is (see Twilight Princess), I would love to see him played by the guy who plays The Mountain in GoT. :v:

If Nintendo actually got involved and started making shows for Netflix that would be awesome.

Screw Jack Black, put Gilbert Gottfried as Tingle
