Re: " 'Excuuuuse me, Princess!': An oral history of The Legend of Zelda cartoon" (article)
That was straight from the comics.
I love how the west actual built a world that was respectable and reasonable.
I consider it the defacto world of Zelda. I love how Ganon face is hidden ( the original guy in the blue hoodie before "Fat Guy Trapped in the Internet" ). I love how the actual characters had emotions, and took pride in their power and positions. It is also the foundation for Zelda OOT
series, even the artwork is mimicked from the comics.
..............
What I find insane and stupid about all of this is that they had a 16 - 17 yo who was a writer. I mean you have people who are 30 - 40 still trying to figure out that stuff. I wish I could just go and write stuff for whatever right now ( as you could see the miles of words I type ).
Point is that is great to hear about her influence of DAD series.
My favorite thing about this was the "rolling up sleves" to show off Tri-force Tattoo. Again this show and the comic is what made Zelda it was today.
I love how Link had attitude and was different.
I love how Zelda was a strong woman but at the same time helpless.
I love how Miff ( Navi protype ) was twisted as with the fairies of
Last Unicorn
Hook ( Fox Five Peter Pan )
Labyrinth
I love how Ganon would scold his minions.
I love how the minions had a mind of there own and even revolted.
They even had a jolly old king ( same with princess of power AKA Captain N ).
They had the towns people.
They had so much that was amazing.
............
Honestly they fubbarred Zelda starting with Skyward Sword. It just seems that Nintendo was not even trying after the whole Twilight Princess.
I think the problem with Nintendo Zelda is that they kept on basing the next game on the last game when the last game was Zelda II ( Chronologically ) but instead they choose to go with OOT or even GBC Zelda and not even GB Zelda. Wind Waker clearly was the face palm of the game.
Why Wind Waker = fail ?? Clearly it should have been from the GB ( Links Awakening ), but they made this based off the GBC game ( the Oracale of Ages/Seasons ) . That was the problem. A big world of ocean and all we got was
The same OOT Ganon,
The same Zelda outfit from the original games.
A lame talking boat which was not original. I mean what was the point...????? Then there was "Spirit Tracks".
Honestly White-pants Link was only OOT and it should have been brown-pants Link.
Even Ganon from Wild game could have made more sense then sword fighting Arabic Ganon.
Of course the problem with Links Blonde hair.
............
Honestly Nintendo Storywise ( as with most game companies ) fail in so many areas.
Beyond that I love the series and Valiant comics Zelda was as good as the series will ever be. I am not saying it was all perfect but the stories made more sense then whatever Japanese-land in pushing out.
...............
Look at "Metroid Other M" I mean they shove Adam in our face like some [removed]. That is how lame Nintendo story telling is.
$E#$#$#@$@# the consumer Now let me try to play Marios 3d Land/World. AKA Princess Toadstool [removed] land on the Wii U.
