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?

I was a kid when i played those so i didn't know if they were connected as stories.I still don't in fact.
For me Zelda is Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past.I haven't played others.
But man those games were so atmospheric,so magic; just incredible.
I think that's why people love them so much.
Zelda has that "superhero greatness" if you know what i mean.
Just timeless.

You should try out Dark Souls. It's like those two games but modernized.

That's just beautiful!

Zelda on Netflix has SO MUCH potential.

If they draw serious inspiration from the games in everything: set pieces,tone,characters it can be EPIC!!!
