The Story of the Failed Legend of Zelda Cartoon

[@TheMentok]

Edit: Hi guys, I know a lot of us grew up with this cartoon so let's not take the word "failed" too personally. Me calling it "Failed" in the title doesn't mean it was bad nor am I expressing my opinion on the quality of the show. It was on for 13 episodes, the writers wanted to do more and the network said no to put even more focus on Mario. This is a failure and a very common story with animations at that time. Bonus Fact: The director of the cartoon mooned the voice actress for Zelda during a recording session to get her to laugh for one of the scenes. Check out the video on Mario animations! > kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmetqmmGjJh0hKMsi=secUfBCDvtx1ZT2i

​@AndyWitmyer well depending on the context that is sexual harassment but I'm assuming that it was all consensual

[@verdantmischief7092]

​@AndyWitmyerif you don't think it's sexual harassment I dare you to show your naked ass to anyone on the street and see what they think

[@robbiewalker2831]

Note 1: I wanna point out that 65 episodes is not the number for a cancelled cartoon series; it's actually the number for a syndication pack (which is common practice at the time to have nearly 24 hours worth of stories). As TheMentok pointed out, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show gives previews for "the Next Legend of Zelda" and the reason the Zelda cartoons only have 13 episodes is because DiC wanted to use the 52 episodes reserved for Mario cartoons Monday to Thursday and 13 used for Zelda Cartoons on Fridays. So in a way, DiC wanted to be creative with their Syndication pack. But yeah, as pointed out at 5:37, the writers have no say on how much material they want to continue making, but rather it's the company's decision on how much material they would use. Note 2 (4:30): in relation to Steve Martin's "Well Excuuuse Me" catchphrase, Link did say the exact line without the 'Princess' addition at one point in "That Sinking Feeling": kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqTXn4ONg8meZ5I Note 3 (5:09): It helps that the Zelda games have been known to poof away after being defeated, and it's very notable that the deaths were bloodless in the games, and at one point in "The Ringer", Ganon kills off his canon fodder without a trace of blood either. Note 4 (7:16): This is not related to Zelda, but this is brought up, so I wanna add that, maybe, Kevin Keene doesn't sound as much like Ed, but at one point, Ed's voice was very different back at Season 1, which sounded more like Kevin Keene in a sense. Note 5 (16:18): So Impa was suppose to die in the original story? Maybe it would've made a lot more sense if the Zelda that Link rescued was the one telling him about the Sleeping Zelda instead of Impa telling him. {17:22: Ganon kills Zelda} Oh wait, nevermind, that's even more confusing.

[@Mr.Smiley_J]

One thing that always stuck with me from the old Zelda cartoon was the fact that all of Link's items shrunk down to fit into his pouch. It makes it all make sense.

[@IParkerLewis]

Kinda like 'Sport Billy' lol

[@JamesChessman]

When I was a kid playing Zelda 1, I preferred to imagine that Link would just leave his stuff, around Hyrule, for later, when it was needed. Like, he'd probably hide his raft, by the river or lake, especially in the places that were obvious that he'd need it. :)

[@metaltom2003]

12:49 Catherine was also the name of Link's horse in the animated series, though only mentioned once. It's very easy to miss it.

[@melissacooper8724]

I remember it was the scene in The White Knight where Link decided to leave Hyrule because of Prince Facade. He landed on his horse and said, "Well, Catherine, it's time to hit the road."

[@injunjoe8967]

Its mentioned in the Valiant comics too somewhere I believe

[@ssppeeaarr]

i wish nintendo would have referenced this in their games. ...maybe thats where navi originally came from the idea cuz link had a fairy chick crushing on him and always follow him in this show. lol.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Once again, this is one of my favorite designs for Zelda herself. Girl was serving looks even in the 80s

[@TheMentok]

After all the footage I watched to edit this video, I strongly agree with this. Great design for Zelda

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

Oh my favorite designs of Zelda are her Twilight Princess Self and BOTW and TOTK Zelda and Skyward Sword Zelda too :)

[@MagillanicaLouM]

@@somedudewhodraws9377 Twilight Princess is also a forever a favorite. Botw/totk i like, but prefer the long hair. Shorter hair works nice with that dress though

[@bitwize]

You can see her potential influence in the design for one of Breath of the Wild Zelda's outfits, the leggings and boots, a girl ready to get her hands dirty. Speaking of, it varies from scene to scene, but in some scenes of the CD-i Zelda games, she's straight up wearing DiC Zelda's outfit.

[@ssppeeaarr]

ew botw hype... smh. her design in this show is cool tho. lol but ya this also goes back to the old concept lore of zelda being a future set game. idk if this cartoon producers knew that but its neat. @@bitwize

[@bio_spark0533]

A bit unrelated but I like Link with brown hair. I wish his designs throughout the games got to be a little more varied like with Zelda. Most versions of Zelda are very distinct from one another but Link doesn't change much. Maybe because he's the face of the games?

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Probably. Though Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword Links are kinda brown haired. I guess it's more a dirty blond. But at the very least the first Link (irl not timeline) was rocking brown locks

[@Random-oy7vk]

I mean, the link to the a link to the past have pink hair. (Well, not actually, but is funny to think that)

[@ssppeeaarr]

diff links have changes to hair. they did look quite different upto OOT and the gameboy games. then it got kinda set down to a standard design and look. i wish we could see the lttp era link. snes/links awake version the old one not the remake. with epic geuredo like nose ...lol.

[@triwarrior3042]

The part when Zelda in the comic wanting to find a more permanent way to seal Ganon to stop the cycle, it's the plot of BOTW Calamity Ganon.

[@adoggo121gaming]

The fact that they even tried advertizing it in EVERY EPISODE OF THE SUPER MARIO BROS SUPER SHOW means that if you haven't heard about it, you're a goomba.

[@crushogre2269]

Mother Brain was voiced by the lead singer of The Four Tops Levi Stubbs. He was also the voice of Audrey II in the 1986 musical version of Little Shop of Horrors

[@DarkOverlord96]

And those were his *ONLY* acting roles, too.

[@ccricers]

@justmeherethereandeverywhere Ah wow, no wonder the voice sounded too similar

[@aanonymousgamer2432]

Did anyone else notice the unintentional joke at the end? ""Link" in the description"

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

I'm glad that you mentioned the original Zelda manga. From what I can tell in this video, it definitely set the standard with making more comical and darker takes on the Zelda games, and seems to have gone on to inspire the Zelda mangas that followed, created by Himekawa. If and when you discuss the later versions of Link, I think it would be appropriate to address Himekawa's adaptations of each of them for comparison.

[@TheMentok]

It was a great read! I might have to give the rest of the manga their own video

[@bardinblue9830]

13:06 - The "magic compass that can track down the Triforce" is a direct reference to the first Legend of Zelda game. In each of the 8 Labyrinths, there is a compass that reveals the location of one of the eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom on the game's map.

[@professorfukyu744]

Mother Brain's voice is actually brilliant because 30 years later you can do the voice and people immediately make the connection. (See starbomb for evidence of this) In the scene fighting horse guy (does he have a name?) Its a continuity error that punks link, not his own lack of skill. Horse head throws his spike ball, which appears to grow, only to be back and attached to the handle the same second Link jumps over the thrown spike ball. In the comic, it appears the king knew what happened to zelda and was just horrible at pretending he didnt. Nintendo seems to have kept the "iron knuckle is a normal person" idea seeing as that's how theyre made in ocarina of time. I notice the TV and comic Zelda look the same although those are the only 2 like that at the time. She seems to have reverted to a more adventure outfit in modern games even though for most the games shes more commonly in a dress. Link had owls and other companions guiding him as early as Link's awakening.

[@e-mananimates2274]

"Horse guy"? His name is Horsehead (or Mazura).

During the late 80s and early 90s, the exact time period these shows/comics were coming out, I was absolutely obsessed with Zelda. Still have a few of the Valiant comics laying around somewhere along with the Choose Your Own Adventure style book they put out. Love seeing coverage of it, you did them justice. I was hardcore on that Zelda kick until a touch before A Link to the Past came out having discovered JRPGs like Final Fantasy but I still harbor a ton of nostalgia and love for the franchise as a whole even if I'm not always jumping for joys for the newest installment (Tears of the Kingdom did rock tho).

Never knew of the 80s Zelda manga. But I certainly know of the later Zelda manga starting with Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. They even went as far back to Link to the Past and giving that game a Manga adaptation. Certainly brought many gamers into reading Manga at the time.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

I think the reason that they destroyed Ganon right after he returned in Captain N is Because Mother Brain tried to controll him, yet Ganon being the King of Darkness wouldnt allow himself being beneath other beings, so Ganon overpowered her army.

[@otakubullfrog1665]

Since the Super Mario Bros. Super Show was so heavily based on Super Mario Bros. 2, it made sense that it gave way to cartoons based on Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World once those games were released. It's unfortunate that The Legend of Zelda didn't get to come along for the ride since that franchise wouldn't have a new game to promote in the US until A Link to the Past in 1992.

And to think, if Captain N lasted another season we MAY have seen the team visited by a wizard on a flying carpet telling them "It is WRITTEN, the Game Master is needed to aid The Princess of Hyrule and her Champion on the land of Koridai....SQUADALAH!" LOL Can you imagine? Would Nintendo even notice them using CDI elements/characters? I actually owned the hardback collected edition of the Valiant Nintendo comics, kinda held it for bragging rights since I had no idea it even existed. Found it at a mom n' pop used book store and in my collection it fit right in with my graphic novel of the Pryde of The X-Men failed pilot of late 80s cartoons. Too bad I lost them in a fire. Glad that Zelda comic is archived on that website I'll have to look it up cause those individual Valiant issues aren't cheap on ebay. Kinda reminds me of how there was an actual comic adaptation of the Atari fantasy adventure series Sword Quest drawn by the late great George Perez, but never got completed since the last installment "WaterWorld" I believe was cancelled.

The fairy companion had to be left out due to limitations but like Yoshi, it was always intended to be in the games since the first in the series. TLoZ was inspired by Peter Pan. The sassy fairy companion who did not like the idea of Link being close to a saved female love interest due to her own attachmnets was planned for the first game to draw parallels to tinkerbelle. How this would work and what it would add for the game producable at the time was not really answerable so she did not make it in for some time. The TV show knew about this and thus we got Spryte who was the most Tinkerbell of all Zelfa fairies. She was basically what the OG was meant to be with the janky charm of that show influencing the portrayal a bit.
