gutsthealchemist I saw this show on the Internet as a kid and I liked it! Then I watched it again as a teenager and...I still liked it! I honestly think it's really good for an '80s cartoon based off an '80s video game. The animation still holds up (to me anyway) and the voice acting is good too.But let's talk about why people hate it: Link. In this show, he's portrayed as a 20-something, pun-making guy that gets off on fighting and is always trying to get Zelda to kiss him (instant classic, I know). Honestly, I'm still not bothered by this change. Now does it represent Link well at all? No. But do I care? No. It's just supposed to be this fun, corny show for kids that play Zelda a lot (or at least, that's how I see it).I love Zelda a LOT, and this show didn't change that. In fact, I think it added something. So if you like '80s cartoons and video games, give this show a little look
donovanmcrale Why would you even like such a thing? I mean, seriously?
Matt Otter Guess fans of the game hate this, but I'm the other way around (well, I don't hate the game). Grew up in the Nintendo era but never got much into the game Zelda, just wasn't for me.While I can understand people being upset that a source material they cherish didn't play out in another form of media the way they would've liked, I still say giving this cartoon a "1" and throwing a fit is a bit ridiculous.I can't speak to how faithful this is to the game, however I couldn't wait for Friday to come home from school and watch this show.If you can watch this show as it's own thing I highly recommend it, the animation is great, for the most part the voice acting it great - however, I didn't like that they made Gannon such a goofball so often, it really killed his menace, but there are great moments between Zelda and Link that get sorta deep despite the shows comical premise, wish they had made more.
thrainnth Really repetitive and childish although Len Carlson as Ganon is awesome also some of the redesigns are pretty clever remember this was made when there were only one Zelda games in existence and the graphics were really limited.How ever me personally I have never really cared for 80s kid shows that much and with some creative plots some which interestingly enough show up in later game series(kinda) there is an evil doppelganger of Zelda similar to the dark reflection of Link(shadow Link,Dark Link in later games) and Link loses his body(similar to how Zelda loses her body in spirit tracks) it's probably all a coincident given that Nintendo did not really favor this series but it is still kinda interesting.If you decide to watch it wont hurt you but just don't expect a masterpiece.
