What I really fucking want:

Berzerk-style Link tredging through the woods and in dungeons, his daily struggle and agony is literally our story as each episode sees him face monster after demon as he further reaches his goal.

What should probably happen:
Pseudo-serious kid-ish action show alike Young Justice or Korra in maturity with a strong plot and a good cast of characters to make plastic figurines out of for money.
>>
Make Link a silent protagonist, have a fairy/human companion give exposition.

Comedic-style shit show that's so out of the cannon universe that you probably wouldn't know it's a Zelda cartoon until you hit a credits sequence.

That would take actual animation skills. Hollywood has gotten far too lazy for that for TV. If it requires more than tweening, they'll be against it.

Start by calling it Legend of Link because it always felt stupid as fuck that Link does all the work and that lazy parasite bitch gets all the credit. Reminds me of this:

It's because the stories LINK hears are about her, Link is really only a placeholder name anyway. The hero is supposed to be YOU. His default name is link because he's a link between you and the game world.

Pretty much have him be sorta like Samurai Jack who would occasionally go whole episodes without even talking. Link doesn't actually speak, and a fairy can work as his Proxy when they need someone to communicate something but they can't have Link just grunt and stare at random people and have them act like he's talking.

Zelda was the catalyst for almost every game. Link is hardly even a character, he's just a median.
>>
>>86055973
Well that and just about every zelda game is about some random boy who just happens to fit the role of the prophecy that gets told at the start of every game.

so the title Legend of Zelda isnt really about you its referring to more about what happened prior im guess.

>>86056412
Don't listen to Boco, anon.

The reason why we're suggesting A Link to the Past first is because that game along with Links Awakening were the style codifiers for every other fucking Zelda game that came afterwards. Those 2 games, in that order, are the best way to get into the franchise precisely because of that.

The first Legend of Zelda plays WAY differently, and only Breath of the Wild (coming up on 2017) is comparable.

If you don't care about where the different games fit in the timeline: A Link to the Past and / or Ocarina of Time

Put it in the world of Link's Awakening/Oracle games. Those seemed cartoony enough for an animated series while still being somewhat serious. Maybe the Toon games. Balance the humor and drama, or just not have any of the former when serious moments arrive. Save the humor for select episodes, or add it in a subtle manner that doesn't break the mood.

Unfortunately, If such a thing were to happen it'd be akin to Sonic Boom, or worse - have a scene where Navi is the punching bag in every episode possible.

In that case, give it to Madhouse and make an SoL gag series. Dry Japanese humor>Tryhard Western references

the first one, and make the story "links awakening"

in the game, the big secret is revealed only halfway, so there is plenty of time to build up the drama

one of the shortcomings of the game, was not having enough time to dedicate to the full weight of the nightmares predicament, where their dialogue claims that they are merely defending their home, with increasing vigor, as well as dialogue between link and z̶e̶l̶d̶a̶ marin, which sweet and poignant in the game, was short, by moving onto a TV format, all of these can take their time to unfold, as well providing much needed contrast from action


the game's story is simple, but it is beautiful and impactful, you dont need to be buried in lore, or adult themes to be deep, sometimes just a sincere telling of a story is enough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm7DHztmPF8

this rendition of "ballad of the wind fish" is a good idea of what the shows tone would be

heavy focus on art and animation
plot/story is taken almost directly from the games
have a ton of sweeping shots that encompass the room/dungeon/city/area link is in

the rest of the budget is used to make link use the items in cool ways, like instead of just the hook shot, he grabs and enemy and does the classic spin and hit all the enemies
or he throws a bomb across a lake so hard that it skips a few times before hitting the target

start with oot, then mm and then either tp/ss/ww if it turns into a success

After Ocarina of Time introduced the guide/companion character, it's almost become like a tradition to have a kind of bittersweet parting-of-ways at the end of the game.

Some of the more memorable ones for me personally were WW, with King Hyrule wishing Link and Tetra the best while choosing to be buried with Hyrule, Midna's goodbye to Link in TP, and to a lesser degree Ezlo gifting Link a hat at the end of Minish Cap as a memento of their time together.

Curious, for those of you that want a companion character, would you want an original character created for the show? What species would it be, and what kind of relationship with Link would you want it to have?

Probably an adaption of Wind Waker.

Which official artwork of Marin would you want as her design?
Always felt this style made more sense, considering she lives by a beach.

What would their interaction be like if her personality were fleshed out more? I always thought that aside from being sweet and kind, she'd have kind of an odd sense of humor and a spontaneity to her, just judging by her humorous reaction for when you use the shovel when she's following you around, and when she uses the crane to grab the crane-game-operator and gets you both thrown out of his shop.

>one of the shortcomings of the game, was not having enough time to dedicate to the full weight of the nightmares predicament, where their dialogue claims that they are merely defending their home, with increasing vigor

I disagree, the fact that it comes at the last possible moment, when the nightmare is despairing not over its own demise but the fact that its world is going to disappear, gives it the strongest impact. I don't need an extended dialogue where it's trying to justify its own existence, it just wants to continue to be and that's all you needed to know to feel bad.
>>
>>86057386
Yeah, maybe I don't have a creative mind, but if he's interacting with characters on a somewhat regular basis/has a companion character, I don't know if it would work.
It's one thing for him to be mute when you're reading text and selecting yes/no dialogue options for him to move conversation forward, but I think it would get old with actual spoken dialogue if he can only respond with nods or shakes of the head, or whatever. I don't know how I feel about a companion character acting as his voice 100% of the time either.
Just make him soft-spoken. He doesn't need to be like the old cartoon.
>>
Majora's Mask

First three days covered in two episodes, then one day per episode, one day every two episodes, then for the final cycle one day for every three as Link starts to slow down, get to now the people around him, follows their stories, and knows events well enough that he can move through them without thinking.

Still, maybe try to avoid dialogue when possible.
Some scenes are much more meaningful when nothing is said--that scene when Midna has a vulnerable moment, puts her hand on Links face and asks him if he'll support her, I think the warm, reassuring smile he gives her has more impact than if he were to say "yes."

Majoras Mask would be pretty perfect for an episodic Zelda cartoon.

Each episode starts at the beginning of the 1st day/reverted timeline with him trying to right wrongs with the townsfolk or explore the world unlocking things as he goes. This can range from light hearted slice of life episodes to harrowing episode about loss, the nature of looped time can help reset the tone at the start of the next episode depending on what is in store.

Two and Three parters should be saved for temples or the introduction of a new village such as Ikana/Great Bay etc.

The main theme of the show should be companionship, loneliness and acceptance of greif. Tatl will join with Link early on with them two basically hating each other, Tatl only wanting to see her brother(?) again and Link wanting to quest but mostly alone. Skull Kid of course is the dark parable to Link, his loneliness drove him mad and fucked over the friends he thought he lost. Link also tries to overcome his lost friends and past failures. Happy Mask can serve as a narrator of sorts.

I wouldn't have Link be completely silent, but rather a man of few words with strong body/facial gestures.

>>
>>86075749
LA:DX is just Link's Awakening with a couple tweaks, color and a bonus dungeon. Also, Link's Awakening absolutely doesn't need a sequel. It wraps up nicely, and any follow-up would just dilute the original. Just bring in some of the mechanics it introduced (especially the accidental item blending) and maybe sometimes the weird eclectic tone.

>>86075689
I always thought it was a shared dream between Link, Marin and the Wind Fish. Nobody outside of those three showed any self-awareness (except for the owl).

>>86075749
No, that was a coloured port for the GBC.

If you haven't played that game it's a faithful recreation of the ALttP overworld but featuring another Link and Zelda. Its story is standalone and the Dark World portion isn't even the original Dark World, it just looks the similar. It's more of a spiritual sequel.

Applied to Link's Awakening this would mean a similar overworld but not in the same dream world. It'd be a parallel universe visited by another Link.

How does /co/ have such lax moderation compared to the other boards?

Anyways, I would make it episodic and a silent series like Samurai Jack. It's just Link adventuring through Hyrule to save the princess. She doesn't know him, but he knows her because of some sycophant mentality (keep in my mind this game is based on Japanese views, so royalty should be revered and feared to strike you blind if you so much as gaze upon them) kind of like that guy in Morbito Guardian of the Spirit.

He's a seasoned adventurer from lands on the border of Hyrule, and you learn his backstory as the episodes progress, like those brief glimpses at 13-year old Kenshin in Rurouni Kenshin. Some guy trains him on how to be the best swordsman if there's ever another fierce war in Hyrule.

Maybe some twist at the end, like that his master is a servant of Ganondorf's. Not like possessed. Just in league with him. But then, Ganondorf's ambitions and the well-being of Hyrule cross paths. So Link has to fight his master at some point.

I do new Universe but have new interpreations of everything in it.

So Link raised by his Uncle close to Kokiri forest. Onox as a hyrulian general, King Daphnes as the king.

Link gathers a party of races.

Include everything. In fact opening episode special operates in the same way as the Thundercats reboot did.

This is the style that the series would need to be in to not suck:

Eh, depends on the Zelda, Wind waker was goofy, but TP has people dying left and right.
Hell, Rutela was beheaded in front of her subjects.
>>
>>86060847
In the OOT manga, Volga was link's pet dragon, who was corrupted by Ganon. When link killed Volga, the spell broke, and Volga head starts crying, calls out "L-Link" before dying and bursting into flames.

You mean the Hero's Shade? That's literally OOT Link after he died and all his kids sucked ass and had skill with the sword.

Link is literally taught by himself.

>>86096349

He's taught by another incarnation of the hero. Each time the hero happens he's a different person.

you think it should be done as a 12 episode mini series? that way it doesnt drag for too long, and wraps up everything in a cute bow

>>86099984
No, Hyrule Historia confirms the Hero's Shade to be OOT Link, having lingered due to his regret at never leaving a lasting mark on history, or passing on his skills to his descendants.
>>
>>86055804
Ok so take Tales of Alethreon

and do that.

Every episode is a half hour of a different Link through the out the series getting fucked by monsters. Series finale is all of the Links from the series 30 year history lining up side by side while Ganon fucks each one of them as the others anxiously watch and wait their turn.

No wolves. No rabbits. No Linkle. No Zelda. Deku Zora and Goron Link is allowed.
>>
>>86110242
in other words, the hero's shade is the young link of original timeline. I am sure is just young Link getting older and dies of unknown reason due to timeskips, what Zelda is famous for
>>
>>86108569
>>86110242
>>86110317
Small point of clarification here. It's Japanese mythology, so Hero's Shade isn't his immortal soul, it was the personification of the regret he felt at not having taught his skills with an heir. It's like that one emotion being made solid.

Even when they reincarnate Link or refer to someone as a descendant, it isn't his soul or his genes, it's just his heroism that returns.

It was never really mentioned in the OP, so it's pretty open to interpretation.

Breath of the Wild looks like it will have next to no Zelda at all. Majora's Mask only gave her like a 5 second mention as well. Coincidentally one of the games looks really good and the other is my pick for best in the series next to A Link to the Past.
>>
>>86055804
Kinda like the Pokemon anime I guess. You know how in the games Brock and Misty are just minor characters who you meet once and never again but in the anime they became main characters? The reason for was that the show would be kind of lame if it was just about a kid going from town to alone except for a bunch of mute animals. So I would probably give Link some party members, maybe Malon and Skull Kid off the top of my head.
>>
>>86085379
Yes, just make him speak only when he needs to.
>>
>>86055804
I'd do an adaptation of Skyward Sword, then go up the timeline from there until we get to LoZ.
>>
>>86113495
>mute animals

Pokemon can talk with each other just fine, so hardly "mute" only because normal people can't understand them anyway.
