Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent adaptation.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Why would you even like such a thing? I mean, seriously?

Guess fans of the game hate this, but I'm the other way around (well, I don't hate the game). Grew up in the Nintendo era but never got much into the game Zelda, just wasn't for me.While I can understand people being upset that a source material they cherish didn't play out in another form of media the way they would've liked, I still say giving this cartoon a "1" and throwing a fit is a bit ridiculous.I can't speak to how faithful this is to the game, however I couldn't wait for Friday to come home from school and watch this show.If you can watch this show as it's own thing I highly recommend it, the animation is great, for the most part the voice acting it great - however, I didn't like that they made Gannon such a goofball so often, it really killed his menace, but there are great moments between Zelda and Link that get sorta deep despite the shows comical premise, wish they had made more.

It's not exactly the "best" cartoon series but it's not the worst either. It's has some ups and downs but I am fine with that because I did like the idea of the "Zelda world" being in a series and the characters interacting with one another. It's like my childhood dreams come true! It's stories do get repetitive. Princess in trouble, save princess and so on. Some episodes I will admit were decent like the Singing Unicorn. Some good action scenes too! All in all, it wasn't too bad but it's just needed something more creative.

**THIS REVIEW COULD CONTAIN A LOT OF SPOILERS. IF THE READER DOESN'T WANT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CARTOON BEING SPOILED, THEN I SUGGEST VIEWING THE CARTOON BEFORE READING THIS REVIEW. THANK YOU.**I need not like the Zelda cartoon at all. It was horrifying. It not only upset me, it pis*ed me off. I've played the video game since the original on Nintendo (which is where Zelda originated). I always portrayed Link (the hero who always rescues Princess Zelda) as a hero of Hyrule. I expected him to be bad-ass. Nope. The cartoon made Link into this G*d awful, whining brat. Link really starts to irritate you, constantly arguing with the princess, trying to get a kiss from her. On top of that. Zelda can actually fight in the cartoon. In one episode she took out a three headed dragon (first boss in the original Zelda for Nintendo - I think?). So, doesn't this make Link more of a pest, rather than someone useful? Plus, Gannon was pretty lame as well. At least they applied that he was a sorcerer in the cartoon. Another thing that irritated me was Links sword beams. When you were at full health in the video game, Link shot beams from his sword. That's all he did in the cartoon when there was a fight with a monster of some sort. It would also send the monster off instantly. I just feel like there was no effort in making this cartoon to its full potential. Maybe that's why there was only one season, and only 13 episodes in the whole series. If you like the video games, stay away from this cartoon. This cartoon did a very poor job on the Zelda story-line, the animation was good for 1980's animation, and the dialog sucked. I would NOT recommend this cartoon to anyone who appreciates Zelda.
