Legend Of Zelda - Cartoon Series Season 1





~Note~


Please note that Episode 12 seems broken for now. I cant find a fixed version right now and i only posted it for anyone that would like to maybe try it. But i tested it and it doesnt seem to want to play, I will look for a fixed version. Also note these are from the 80's so they are not the best quality. ^_^

Show Outline:



You may, or may not be aware, that The Legend of Zelda used to be on TV. In the late 80's and early 90's, Nintendo was extremely popular, and no two game series more so than Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. Both series had a range of merchandise available, and earned themselves TV shows. In 1989, an animated series about Zelda was made by DIC Productions, based on the first two games in the series: The Legend of Zelda, and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (both on the Nintendo Entertainment System). The Zelda series screened once a week on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Four days a week, they would screen Mario cartoons, but once a week it was a Zelda cartoon.

The series draws heavily from the Zelda games. Many enemies from the games appear, such as Stalfos, Octoroks, Keese, and Moblins. The music is awesome, much of it inspired by the Overworld and Underworld music from the first Zelda game. Sound effects taken directly from this game are also common, such as when Link defeats enemies or uses items. As the cartoon is based on the first 2 games, Ganon is in his pig form, and Link has dark hair. The King of Hyrule, named Harkinian, appears in some of the episodes, although strangely, there is no sign or mention of Impa, Zelda's nurse mentioned in the games.

Most of the episodes follow a common plotline: Ganon wants the Triforce and devises numerous schemes to obtain it. He holds the Triforce of Power, and the Triforce of Courage is guarded by Link, who lives in the castle. Whoever holds both Triforces will rule the land of Hyrule. Each episode lasted approximately 15 minutes.

The cartoon was not regarded as a success, and after one 13-episode series it was dropped. Later on, cut down versions of the episodes were repeated with another Nintendo-based cartoon, Captain N the Gamemaster. Captain N was a show about a kid who loves playing Nintendo and is sucked into the world of Videoland, where the worlds of his video games are real. Link and Zelda feature in 4 of these episodes, and they are older than they appeared in their own series.[/code]
