Netflix Developing Live-Action LEGEND OF ZELDA Series
Fans have wondered if they'd ever see a live-action take on Legend Of Zelda, and now it seems Nintendo's incredibly popular fantasy video game is being adapted for the small screen by Netflix. The show is being envisioned as "Game Of Thrones for a family audience".
The Wall Street Journal reports that Netflix are looking to develop a live-action TV series based on The Legend Of Zelda video games. According to them, the idea is to produce a more family-orientated version of Game Of Thrones. Writers are currently being sought, and though Nintendo are on board, it's all said to be the very early stages.
There can't be many people that haven't heard of Zelda, but for the uninitiated the games are set in the fictional land of Hyrule, and tell the story of an adventurer named Link (who looks a lot like an Elf but is actually a member of the Hylian race) as he attempts to rescue Princess Zelda from the clutches of the evil wizard, Ganon. The games have spawned everything from comics, to toys, to a short lives animated series, and Zelda is one of the most popular, revered properties out there. What do you think of this news?
