The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)

During the late 1980s, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show had a programming block on Monday-Thursday. On Friday, The Legend of Zelda Show was on T.V. This show took place after Link's first adventure. He was living in Hyrule Castle, guarding the Triforce of Wisdom (and constantly trying to get Princess Zelda to kiss him), with his friend, Spryte the Fairy. Link also had a catch phrase: "Excuse me, Princess!", which was used in the Philips CD-i Games. He constantly battled Ganon (who looked more like a dragon then a pig) and his minons, such as Stalfos and Moblins.

Show Opening
The opening of the show went like this:


 * (Zelda theme music plays, as scene opens up in Link's room. The Triforce of Wisdom is resting on a pedestal. The door opens, and Link and Zelda come into the room)


 * Zelda: This is the Triforce of Wisdom, Link. (Scene changes to Ganon's throne room) The evil wizard Ganon has the Triforce of Power. (Ganon laughs maniacally, as he sends his minions to Hyrule Castle) Whoever gets both Triforces will rule this land forever! You must help me, Link!


 * Link: Hey, for you Zelda, anything!


 * (A short sequence occurs in which Link battles a few Moblins. The scene changes to Link and Zelda riding on horseback,heading twoards Ganon's Castle. Moblin's come charging out at them, and jump into the river under the drawbridge. Link climbs onto some rocks, but Zelda stays in the water, soaking wet)


 * Zelda:(Sarcastically) Nice job, hero!


 * Link: Hey, ex-CUSE me, Princess!
