The Legend of Zelda - Theme song!

You might have seen me do a lot of Zelda parodies lately... Here's one and one more.
Well, checking out some good ol' Zelda material had me thinking about the series....

Anyway, since I posted the intro of the old Mario cartoon not long ago, I wanted today to also post the Zelda cartoon intro now!

Here it is, in all its full HD glory nonetheless!



Say want you want, don't make your own opinion if you don't want to and follow some generic popular internet rants instead, you mindless sheep, you!... but speaking from facts.. this cartoon was actually pretty good.

Sure, it gave a personality to Link, which you might not like...
But the cartoon for an early adaptation, was pretty faithful. And fun. And had adventure!
It's not your NES Link, mind you... It was like in most games, just another incarnation of Link (and Zelda, and Ganon). The Princess even used to kick ass most of her screen time (which can't be said much of the in-game Zeldas...no, Sheik!Zelda or Tetra-Zelda *late-spoiler alert!* don't count!! I'm speaking of the Zelda-Zelda character!!)
And everything from the ambient music to the sound effects, character designs and plots contributed to the Zelda atmosphere...which can't be said much of other 80s/90s cartoon adaptations.. (Captain N, Karaté Kid, Rambo, etc...to name but a few other adaptations from the same era)

And, excuuuuuuuuse me, but I actually liked this Link!
He kinda suffered from what I call "Venkmanisation", which is a trend, following the successful Ghostbusters cartoon, which consisted in turning all main characters in kids cartoons into Peter Venkman, with all his characters traits from design/hair style/comportement/lazy attitude. See Captain Plane or James Bond Jr. for other examples! XD
