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.
bowlcut-34641 It's a shame not many shows are as good as this nowadays. This show has it all. Gripping plots, amazing writing and super awesome music! I got the whole show for free as a powerup reward from gamestop a few years ago. I will never sell it because I love it.Story: Even better than the Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess plot combined.Animation: It's as if Jesus himself animated this before he died.Music: My favorite song is the one that just plays in the show every five seconds. Voice Acting: Well exuuuuse me, princess!9/10 super special awesome
Senor Elephant WARNING: THIS MIGHT CONTAIN A SPOILERLegend of Zelda the TV series had great cartoon animations for its time. The writers put much effort into writing the story, and I think they should have continued the series for at least one more season, since Zelda and Link never captured the tri force of power. However, since I believe Link was very different than how he was depicted in the video games, this threw off many viewers and gave the show a bad rating. Also Link's catchphrase might have annoyed viewers after the 10th time.I thought the Legend of Zelda show had a great story, and showed what Link and Zelda were like. Inside the game Link never talks, but inside the show he has a much greater role in that regard. I also like how Zelda does fight alongside Link, so that made the show interesting.The reason I gave this show a nine of of ten is because I know how hard it is to create animations, and I thought the creators did an excellent job for their time. I hope that show will eventually be brought back since the show was never canceled (even though it has been 25 years since it has been created).
Cartoon King I'm a big fan of Nintendo's classic series of adventure video games "The Legend of Zedla". And when I heard that they did a cartoon series about it, I'll admit I was actually really wanting to see it. But when I finally looked it up on YouTube, I was greatly disappointed. This show was just cheesy, campy, annoying, badly scripted, dull and overall terrible. Here is a short list of things that are wrong with this show:1. Link - In the games Link was meant to be a heroic, brave, and strong hero who would do whatever it takes to protect Princess Zelda and The Kingdom of Hyrule. In this show he is a cocky, smart-Alec, stubborn jerk who only does these things so he can get Zelda to kiss him. Plus he has an annoying catchphrase of "Excuuuuse ME, Princess!" which he says constantly in almost every single episode. I have no problem with catchphrases, but Link takes his annoying catchphrase way too far.2. Bad plots - The episode plots are too dull and uninteresting. The games had great, well-thought-out, original, and epic story-lines, but in this show we get Link turning into a frog, The King of Hyrule building a water park, and Zelda falling for another guy. This show would have been much better if it had a story-arc, or a more serious and dark setting.3. Spryte - Spryte has gotta be one of the most annoying characters in cartoon history. She's obnoxious, has an irritating, squeaky, high-pitched voice, and fails to do a good job at what she is meant for: comic relief. Her jokes are cheesy and terribly unfunny.4. It's just plain dull - The worst thing about this show by far is how dull and effortless it is. You can tell the writers and directors didn't care if it was a good show or not. Because this show is repetitive, dull and boring. It's not interesting or exciting in any way, the action scenes are short, predictable and boring, the stories (as I already mentioned) are cliché, and not very Zelda-like, and the comedy portions of the show aren't funny in any way.This show was just awful. It was unfaithful to the games, it was predictable, dull, boring, uninteresting, annoying, and just stupid. "The Legend of Zelda" is one of the worst cartoons of all time, which is ironic as the Zelda games are some of the greatest video games of all time.Rating: 1/10 "Horrific"
