Depends. Live action movie, does that mean real actors???

I would prefer a animated one... so I voted for animated series. Don't really like comics and it's not very suitable for a book.

Gah! No live action movies. That would turn out terrible.

An animated cartoon, especially in the style of Japanese animé...now that's a different story.

Generally, I prefer media that leave as much as possible to the imagination (which explains my partiality to books), but I enjoy visual media as much as the next person. So I'm going to vote for the book and the cartoon (however, it would be extremely difficult to write a book that got the tone right).

Must resist...temptation to mention fanfics...

Oops, did I just say that out loud?

*Cough CHEAP PLUG cough*
Er it's warm here in NYC but I till got a cold.. hmm odd

But I would have to agree with Xanny.. but I think Zelda needs to be told in an animated series.. a movie would probably be too short and convulted... I say they make a TV show with a set number of episodes to tell one epic tell with a bunch of side stories

It would suck No matter what it was

Okay, ignore the dumb comment above.

I would just like to know, what is wrong with the current way in which they are telling the story of the Legend of Zelda?

Ravishing Rick Rude · 01-29-2002, 12:15 PM

I agree, i see nothing wrong with how they do it now.

you guys misinterpreted what I said....

is this asking how they should tell the story in the game... or how they should re-tell the story all together????

I don't think a Movie, Cartoon, Book, or Comic book about Zelda would be good

sooo... either way, it will suck

Shadow_Link · 01-29-2002, 01:19 PM

Oh, okay, sorry...

Animated series. But only if it was done right. Has to be as true to the game as possible.

Idiot suddenly remembers the godawful animated Zelda in the 80's. He shudders violently, and hopes those days will never return.

Blix · 01-29-2002, 02:13 PM

I voted animated series. I think it can be cool if done right.

Yeah, if they do make another series of Zelda, it had better be nothing like that.

Xantar · 01-29-2002, 04:10 PM

Bah, if you want to see some poorly done animation for Zelda, go play a CDi game. Now that was bad! At least the TV show could get a laugh out of me whenever Link said, "Excuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

Hey, I was 5 years old or something like that!

*Refuses to vote*

A Video Game, nothing else. They shouldn't touch something that is already perfect (Zelda as a video game)...
