\"legend<\/a><\/p>\n

Video games have always been hit or miss when adapted to television or film. But there’s one game that fans have been clamoring for as a live-action adaptation and it looks like it’s finally happening. That’s right, Nintendo<\/strong><\/a> and Netflix<\/strong> are working together to develop a live action series based on The Legend of Zelda<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Set in the fictional world of Hyrule, the various video games center around a young boy named Link who undertakes various adventures, where he often works with and helps save Princess Zelda.<\/p>\n

Netflix describes their future series as “Game of Thrones<\/em> for a family audience”. That certainly sounds like the right tone and approach, as Hyrule is a fantasy realm full of various locations and numerous mystical beasts and dangers.<\/p>\n

They’re currently searching for a writer and the project is still in very early stages. But this is still exciting because Nintendo is known for being very protective of their property. The Legend of Zelda<\/em> animated series ran for one season only and the 1993 Super Mario Bros.<\/em> film was a notorious flop.<\/p>\n

There’s a chance this series could never see the light of day, but the fact that they’re looking for a writer is promising. We would love to see what they create, after the success Netflix has had with some of their original series so far. And we’ve certainly waited a long time to see Hyrule, Link, Zelda, and all the other memorable characters in the flesh.<\/p>\n
