I love how this series became so infamous that the localization of the second Ace Attorney game used the "Well excuuuuuuuse me, princess!" line as an optional joke.

I do think a Link that could talk can still work. Personally I could see a Zelda cartoon involve a more emotionally distant Link learning to open up with the help of friends he made while trying to stop Ganon or any other antagonist. If we do get another Zelda cartoon, by virtue of the Links across the games being different incarnations, why not have characters and elements from different games appear? Imagine seeing a Link who has to deal with Revali and Midna, had Volvagia as his pet like in the OoT manga, Mipha and Ruto competing for Link’s affections, etc.

[@SephirothRyu]

The alternative is that he is just one of those shrinking violet types. And that he sometimes starts to talk, but always gets interrupted by Navi and/or some other fairy that tries to speak for him.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Spoilers for Skyward Sword: It's the first Zelda, but instead of going to Heaven afterwards to be with the Goddesses, she founded the Hylian race and kingdom of Hyrule with the first Link.

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

8:52 If we're being fair, Christianity _was_ originally going to be the official religion of Hyrule, there's a Bible in the game and a cross on the shield and everything. There's even official art of Link praying at a crucifix. Hell, you can still see slight Christian influences in the franchise, though that may be a coincidence.

[@kawrght]

Plus christianity has nothing to do with christmas itself. Its aspects built up and created over time, and save for santa himself(saint nick was real) its only been adapted into christianity, and may have even been based on a pagan event.

[@Banchoking]

This is something of a popular myth. Most cultures had holidays at the same times of the year since that was when food was available for celebrating. Winter holidays tend to take place when Winter is fading so they could eat their surplus stores without worrying about not having enough. When pagans converted to Christianity, they brought tradition ps from their old holidays with them and they became a part of Christmas. So it wasn't a pagan holiday, it just absorbed traits from them overtime.

[@Soufriere84]

@@Banchoking Yes and no. Christmas was adapted from the Roman holiday of Saturnalia which occurred at the Winter Solstice (as you noted). Serious Biblical scholars tend to agree nowadays that Jesus of Nazareth wasn't born in the Winter -- the Gospels strongly imply a birth during the Spring since the upland Levant could get kinda cold on winter nights and shepherds would _not_ be outside tending flocks then. We also know that Halley's Comet paid a visit to Earth around the time Jesus was said to have been born, and it was during the Spring and Summer, when shepherds _would_ have been outside at night. TL;DR -- Christianity, in contrast to the other two Abrahamic religions (Judaism & Islam), is very syncretic in its holidays, which meshed organically over time with earlier pagan holidays because evangelists found out the hard way that you can't just take ancient feast days away from people; you slap a Christian veneer on them.

[@BrightWulph]

@@Soufriere84 Not to mention there's a lot of examples of Christianity intesecting and not messinging with other relegous beliefs and holidays, so in some cultures it was perfectly normal to have Christian beliefs and local beliefs coexisting for a long time without interfearing with each other. Until cultural drift happened and Christianity just absorbed the local legends into it's own, because you know, that's a thing.

[@CantusTropus]

@@BrightWulph You got any actual examples of this happening? Lots of people just make this claim casually even though it's largely false, urban legends that won't die.

[@LikaLaruku]

Laughed so hard at that opening. "A brown underwater horse with Pegasus wings." That's a Kirin (deer-dragon). It can have antlers or a unicorn horn. Spiders are land crabs. Crabs are sea spiders. They both taste good with lemon butter. Have you accepted Groose as your lord & savior?

There was an episode where Link said the "well excuse me princess" line 5 times in a 4 minute span, I timed it, and it made me want to rip out my own skull. Also the characters of this show are (and were at the time) a dated pop culture reference, they're basically knock offs of a duo from a popular sitcom from a couple years prior.

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

So the CD-i game pulled from this cartoon when they did the "How about a kiss, for luck?" "You've got to be kidding" "SMUG" and then Gwonam keeps the status quo by interrupting the apparent kiss at the end of the game to which Link says "I guess that's worth a kiss huh?" "HAH!"

[@rafaelcerdeira5883]

about the Christmas, if im not mistaken there were a lot of christian references in the early games, before nintendo stopped doing religious references all toghether. Like the cross in links shield and in graveyards, i think there were some temples that were called churches and a bible that was renamed to a book of magic later. There's even some concept art of link straight up praying to jesus on the cross, thats really weird now

The ironic part about the Super Mario Brothers Super Show is that despite the cheese, at least it had something to go off of and was more vastly diverse despite running off of the same damsel in distress formula, but it worked for its time because it gave audiences something to look forward to despite The Legend of Zelda cartoon being cockteased like fuck. I'll admit, the previews for the cartoon on dvds really made me want to watch it, but knowing that it tried to go for the same aesthetically pleasing thing is really off-putting because it just thinks that it can get away with doing the exact same thing, despite being its own thing, which kinda makes for a shitty concept.

I think in Skyward Sword, the romance between Zelda and Link was the most believable. I know it's a school for bird knights, but it's pretty cute and because Link knows Zelda in that game, his quest to save her feels more personal. Zelda in the beginning before her disappearance tends to be a bit of a nag, but at least it's not this.

[@ZMusok]

When I think of a Link that talks I think of the portrayals in the Akira Himekawa mangas. Not only does the different incarnations have different personalities, but you can also see personal growth and a character worthy of being called a hero (unlike in the cartoon). The Zelda series in itself is tempting to be made into a TV series as it is hard. Before BotW most games followed the same structure "go to temple, find item, beat boss, repeat". This formula works for games but not for TV series. As such, the story (if taken from any game) must be changed to fit the new format. Thankfully Zelda has a lot to work with even besides the games, which would allow the creation of a story that doesn't need to follow any story that we already know. And even if we follow a game story, then you could still include new characters and events to spice things up. But all in all I think that Link should talk if a new series arrives. His charcater is malleable enough to fit different types, depending on how the show writer wants the story to develop.

The editing felt like something out of a YTP with all the quickcuts and memes, and as a one-off I enjoyed it, though I do hope it's not the norm going forward.

This version of Link would definitely use the Triforce to wish for the pizza dinosaur of his dreams. Of the species velociraptoroni. And it's a cold-blooded abomination with extra hot cheese that ate Zelda

I completely blocked out how the Triforce of Wisdom, when taken from the castle, had to be put on a leash. I wonder what would happen if it were let off the leash. Would it just float away? Would it run off and bite the Postman jogging by?

To be fair, before censorship got involved Hyrule had a LOT of Christian themes. The shield even had a cross on it.

Don't want to be that guy but the most ancient Link we played as in Skyward Sword seems to be right handed, good review though
