Netflix Is Developing a Live-Action 'Legend of Zelda' Series

"The video streaming service is in the early stages of developing a live action series based on "Zelda," about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule, said a person familiar with the matter. As it seeks writers to work on the show, Netflix is describing it as "Game of Thrones" for a family audience, this person said.

A Netflix spokeswoman declined to comment. A Nintendo spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

That's a great idea, and it sounds like a great approach. There is so much cool stuff in that universe and I'm excited to see them adapt it.

That story about a new live action series Zelda series coming to Netflix in Japan may not be accurate

"As of now, I have nothing new to share with you in regard to the use of our IPs for any TV shows or films, but I can at least confirm that the article in question is not based on correct information," says Iwata.

Nintendo is notoriously secretive, so I wouldn't take even an outright denial as a sure thing. If you've heard nothing about it a year from now, odds are its dead or really was possibly a rumor.
