Toffee. Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 This can only go one of two ways;The first being incredibly awesome- And everyone loves it to pieces <3The second being that it's straight-up mediocre, and it causes it a shitstorm because of it's inconsistencies.So.... Hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 “Game of Thrones” for a family audience I aint getting my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Even if it's a goodgame of thrones rip off, it's likely that it wont be a good zelda show. If this had been animated, I would be more optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's just >Game of Thrones-like >Family oriented Choose. To be honest I think whoever made the comparison is just a suit talking out of their ass, as Lord of the Rings was mentioned as well, which is nothing like GoT. The best possible way for this to happen is for it to be a series set in Hyrule and for Link to not be involved in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hopefully really good no-names or just generally obscure actors. I was honestly imagining Cate Blanchett as Zelda. I mean, Galadriel is practically Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobax Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I was like "Don't drop your guard." I was hoping a tv series or movie that would be back deeper of Samus Aran background before becoming a bounty hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 If they want this to be any good they'll first have to not have Link speak and execute it in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 If they want this to be any good they'll first have to not have Link speak and execute it in a good way. Pretty sure if Nintendo's involved, they'll have the common sense to not have Link speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Girl Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 What the f*** are you thinking Netflix?! Look, I try out every new series that you put out! I'm looking forward to the Defenders put out by Marvel because it makes sense, but a live-action Zelda TV series!? Really?! If you want to make a Zelda series, make it animated or 3D animated. It makes sense! I ain't getting my hopes high either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well. This'll go swimmingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Some of my friends are worried since Nintendo has never had any luck with live-action before. But I think they know that and I'm willing to believe that this show could break that streak since they're taking the time to collaborate with an esteemed service like Netflix. And they'll want to change their rep in that area. I don't think they'll go for anyone known, or anyone high-profile. Some good unknowns would be ideal for a project like this. As for Link speaking, I mean, they could have him be silent, but I think I'd rather they gave Link more of a character and speaking role as a risk to take than them forcing him to be silent and the show ending up worse because of it.

~British Soul~ Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not sure how good/bad it'll be, but I probs won't be watching it because I'm not gonna get Netflix anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I will say, so far, Netflix has been killing it with their original series. Orange is the New Black and House of Cards have massive critical acclaim. I have no idea if that has anything to do with this, but I'd give it a chance.

I'm watching Orange is the New Black right now, and it's fucking amazing. So yeah, I'm giving it a chance with minimal expectations, cause if I expect too much, that'll just be a higher drop of disappointment if there is any.

Kazooie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Personally, I'm not thinking too highly of it, but as was mentioned I've heard nothing but good things about Netflix's original series lately. That gives me some hope that, with Nintendo hopefully learning from their past mistakes on the Movie/TV front, that this can be decent. I'm going to give it a shot for sure, and hope that this breaks Nintendo's abysmal attempts on this market. Cause honestly if it turns out well, I would LOVE to see a Metroid show in the future. Just not... Metroid: Other M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
