The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)


 * This article is about the television program. For information on the series, see The Legend of Zelda (Series). For information on the the first game in the series, see The Legend of Zelda (Game).

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!" He constantly battled Ganon and his minons, such as Stalfos and Moblins. The cast of this series had a crossover episode with Captain N: The Game Master entitled The Quest for the Potion of Power after the Zelda cartoon series had already ended its run. Link and Zelda became recurring guest characters in the show's second season.

Show Opening
The opening of the show went as follows:


 * (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 towards Ganon's Castle. Moblins come charging out at them, and they jump into the river under the drawbridge. Link lands on some rocks, but Zelda lands in the water, soaking wet)


 * Zelda: (Sarcastically) Nice job, hero!
 * Link: Hey, ex-CUSE me, Princess!
