Teenage hero Link [Jonathan Potts] is the central figure in this
series, based entirely on the NES game of the same name. Upon arrival
to Castle Hyrule, the cocky and overly sarcastic Link meets attractive
Princess Zelda [Cyndy Preston] and is assigned as the protector
of the Triforce of Wisdom [voiced by Elizabeth Hanna]. Enemy pig-like
wizard Ganon [Len Carlson], ruler of the Underworld, relentlessly
seeks to steal the Triforce to accompany the one he already has
in possession: the Triforce of Power [voiced by Allan Stewart Coates],
to achieve ultimate power and dominate the kingdom of Hyrule.
Link,
along with his magical beam-firing sword, his pixie companion Spryte
[Paulina Gillis] and Pricess Zelda, travel across the countryside
vanquishing enemies and stopping Ganon's Moblin and Skeleton hoarde.
The pair, although displaying a conflict of interest, seem to always
show an unmistakeable attraction; especially as Link constantly
demands a kiss for his deeds, facing constant rejection from Zelda
- which sometimes appears to be a bashful one.
"Legend
of Zelda" was a special Friday cartoon episode aired during "The
Super Mario Brothers Super Show!" with the Zelda segment's initial
appearance on September 8, 1989, replacing the usual aired episode
of "Super Mario Brothers," another animated series that appeared
during the weekday. Both characters Link and Zelda were featured
in crossover episodes of "Captain N: The Game Master."
Shout
Factory released the complete DVD series of "Legend of Zelda"
in 2005.
