Netflix Developing a Live-Action Zelda Series

Wouldn't they reference Zelda SS first before going to OOT? The can take inspiration from the games (not cdi ) and cartoons. Knew about the cartoon, but haven't watched it yet.

All this skepticism over a live action zelda series, and no one mentions The Hero of Time?

I was really hoping for shaft to make a Super Smash Bros anime, they've done a good job before with nintendo characters.

It's literally a generic Dynasty Warriors reskinned with Zelda content. Done and done. Omega Force already nailed it and people are used to it so they don't mind paying for the same game without much difference to it.

you literally overuse the word "literally".

Huge zelda fan so I'll definitely be checking this out but like you said Nintendo shows have been pretty solid flops in the past so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

It would appear Iwata is squashing all rumors of this show actually existing. Interesting.

In early February, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix was developing a live-action series based on Nintendo's Legend of Zelda franchise. But Mr. Iwata says those rumors are inaccurate.

"As of now, I have nothing new to share with you in regard to the use of our IPs for any TV shows or films, but I can at least confirm that the article in question is not based on correct information," says Iwata.

Well that's a bummer. Even if the series turns out to be awful, I'd be interested in seeing what they do with it.

What? You mean you don't LIKE cheesy, overdone parodies of Steve Martin in a TV series based on a video game?

"Not based on correct information" =/= squashing all rumors. It could mean this doesn't exist at all, true. It only absolutely means that at least some of the info is wrong... I don't know a lot of people who'd seriously compare LoZ and Game of Thrones, for example.
