Fire Emblem would make a better fantasy series than Legend of Zelda, especially if they want to make it like Game of Thrones. I'm sure that a Legend of Zelda series is theoretically possible, but there is a very slim chance of that happening. The best choice for a TV series is Metroid though.

Yes, let's add more characters to Metroid, and dialogue, as well.

You know in the original Final Fantasy when your Fighter would kill an Imp, and then your White Mage would swing its staff ineffectually at the empty space where that Imp was?

Both of them are played by Vin Diesel.

Everything good about the Legend of Zelda is gameplay related. People play the games for exploration, puzzles, and dungeon crawling and none of those things can translate well to a tv series or a film.

Metroid has a lot of atmosphere which can translate though, which isn't surprising because it draws heavy inspiration from the movie Alien. The only Zelda game that could do the same is Majora's Mask. And as poorly as Metroid games have fared with increased plot, that is mostly because those plots where done and told improperly. Anyone making a tv series about Metroid is going to have a much easier time both because they are bound to be more proficient at plot than video game developers and also because they have a lot of extra tools to make it work in a new format.

Also, I would be fine with a schlocky sci-fi series about a bounty hunter tracking down space pirates if it comes to that.

This is dope. Much love to The Verge for thinking outside the box...or should I say, thinking outside the Gamecube.

I really really really loving hope that Zelda isn't hidden from view for 23 episodes and you only get a voiceover or a shadow at the end of every episode and you only see her face and everything on the last episode.

A fuckton of Japanese fantasy series do it and it's really annoying. Don't keep a character from doing anything until the last episode, it's real lovely pacing.

Gonna be bad unless it's just the hot, sweaty, and sexy adventures of the Gerudo lady thieves.

Though I'd kill to sneak a peak at a script that has:

quote:

Link: HIIIIYAAAAA!!!! YAAAAAAA!

Link: AIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

or anything of the sort in it.
