A television series based on The Legend of Zelda is reportedly in the works at Netflix.
The Wall Street Journal has heard from a "person familiar with the matter" that the alleged series will be a full-blown live-action production that aims to be like a family-friendly version of Game of Thrones.
As one would expect, the popular streaming service is working closely with Nintendo in the show's production. After all, this is one of the Big N's most prized and recognizable franchises.
Neither Netflix nor Nintendo have commented on the matter, so we'll have to treat this as rumor for the time being. That said, sound off in the comments below and let us know whether or not you'd like to see a live-action adventure in Hyrule.
Well excuuuuuuse me, princess! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ7NrApups8)
Netflix has a pretty good reputation for original content though "family friendly version of Game of Thrones" sounds like a terrible descriptor. The best parts of the show are when it challenges convention (e.g. "My what a lovely wedding... Oh dear sweet Jebus... Nooooooooo..."). Game of Thrones carries its rating like a badge of honor.
Instead, the focus should simply aspire to be "a good Zelda show." Also, I wish this was either CG or traditionally animated. Personally, I'd use The Wind Waker as the basis for the tone. And while I like the art style, I'd rather see the show have its own aesthetic.
Or hire the Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra showrunners and let them go to TV-PG.
Cartoons have limited appeal they are going for mass appeal and live action is the way to go there.It's based on a video game. It already has limited appeal.
I disagree, 10 years ago people would have said super hero movies had limited appeal; now nobody would say that because the batman trilogy, iron man and avengers were so good that almost everyone now enjoys the super hero moviesCartoons have limited appeal they are going for mass appeal and live action is the way to go there.It's based on a video game.

Between Batman Returns and the modern Marvel age started by the first Iron Man movie, comic book movies had a certain niche/campy stigma associated with them. The comic book films that were successful were such because they downplayed their comic book origins, whereas the modern films embrace them. With the exception of Spider-Man, they weren't generally done very well and weren't the pop culture phenomenon we have now. Iron Man and the resulting Avengers tie-in movies changed that, but it took a long time for geek culture to become the norm.
