    Well EXCUSE me princess
    Yes it is kinda bad and all of that, but it is still some media about one of the oldest and bestselling Nintendo game franchises in the world: The Legend of Zelda. And to the critics, listen: It's definitely much better than the Philips CDi games.

    Like most cartoon from that era, everything had to be cool and for that reason it hasn't aged that well. Still however there are quite a few positives.

    The animation was fine, which loads of characters from the first two games added. Plus exclusive characters to the series. I watch twice now, and it makes me wonder and hope for some kind of new attempt.

    The series seems deserving of another short especially with the success of Sonic and the many seasons of Pokémon. And the upcoming Mario movie.
