What surprise? Nintendo tried outsourcing some of their properties in the early 90s (Mario movie, Zelda to CDi) and the results were so bad they pulled back from letting anyone touch their shyt for twenty years.

Sure, there's billions of money to be made of Nintendo properties, but they ain't tryna risk a repeat of that situation ever again.

If they give it a gritty but realistic feel similar to GoT but with way more magical elements shyt Netflix might be goat after this :ohlawd::ohlawd::ohlawd:
Why would a Zelda show need to be gritty? The source material is a fun family game with cute characters. I think it could be a quality show without it having to be "gritty".
Everything is Game of Thrones now:heh:
Any show/movie that has to do with a monarchy and isn't based in the era of the combustible engine is getting GOT comparisons. Just lazy writers showrunners, and studio execs just piggybacking if what's hot. When I read a critic giving Marco Polo tv show a negative review because they called it a bootleg GOT I knew folks weren't even trying to be thoughtful with the comparisons.

"Game of Thrones for a family audience"

It's gonna be for 10-16 year olds and their parents. So it's gonna be more like this I think

I wonder if each season will be based off of different games?

low-key "Wind Waker" was one of my favorite versions. Its hard to imagine them doing that one and casting a kid to play as Link.

"Twilight Princess" & "Ocarina of Time" tho :ohlawd:
