The Legend of Zelda (1989)	comment	In 1989, in addition to their animated cartoons based on the Super Mario Bros. franchise, DiC had also produced a short cartoon series based on the NES Zelda games. The cartoons include elements of both The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link. Like the games, the animated series features Link's (voiced by Jonathan Potts) continuing adventures in the kingdom of Hyrule, battling the evil forces of Ganon (Len Carlson) alongside Princess Zelda (Cynthia Preston), with the addition of a Fairy Companion named Spryte (Paulina Gillis). It shared a number of details in common with the comic book series produced by Valiant Comics around the same time.Thirteen episodes were aired in total, airing as part of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! during the Friday episodes (i.e., every fifth episode).note During the Monday-Thursday Super Show episodes, there is a preview of that week's Legend of Zelda episode during the second live-action segment. There presumably would have been more, but when SMBSS was cancelled, the Zelda segments went with it. The characters of Link and Zelda, along with their respective voice actors, were then adopted into the cast of Captain N: The Game Master, where Link had a rivalry-turned-friendship with the titular Captain.The thirteen original episodes can be purchased in a DVD box set from Shout! Factory.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: These moments are rare, but they do happen. It's even a plot point in "The Missing Link" - Zelda is the only one who can see Link because she's the only one who loves him. The main reason she didn't tell Link was that she didn't want it to go to his head.

Interestingly, the inclusion of a Fairy Companion was popular, as it showed up both in an ALttP comic book and a LA manga, as well as in the Valiant Comic. Navi was at best the fifth Fairy Companion Link had, though the first in-game one.

When Zelda is able to communicate with her, she informs them of what's going on and aids them in battle.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_1c9537cd	comment	The Main Characters Do Everything: In two episodes, when Zelda wants the castle cleaned up, she personally gives the orders and has Link, who should be guarding the Triforce and protecting Zelda herself (though sometimes even these roles conflict), and Spryte, a fairy princess, do the cleaning. Aside from the King, the castle has Doof, the handyman, and at least one unnamed guardsman. No one else is ever even seen. In the first episode, Zelda is shown being flanked by guards during the magician's contest. When Ganon reveals himself by turning a lizard into an Aquamentus, one guard has already disappeared while the other flees like a dirty coward. Additionally, Link and Zelda are arguably presented as the only capable fighters in all of Hyrule. So whenever they're both away from the castle, there's no evidence to suggest that the castle is in any way defended.

In "Stinging a Stinger", we see a montage of Link, Zelda, and Sleezenose gathering various insect nests to fight Ganon because Ganon has Link's stolen sword. Among them is an anthill that's placed in a covered box, but it doesn't get used during the main attack. Later, it turns out that Spryte disguised the anthill box as the Triforce of Wisdom while the real one was hidden, in case Sleezenose tried to steal it - which he did, while the others were fighting.

Although he tries to dodge, parts of the fireball hit Link, but because of the magic being weakened, only his body is zapped to the underworld.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_26fd153	type	Early Adaptation Weirdness
The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_26fd153	comment	Early Adaptation Weirdness: The show was made roughly around the time Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was released in the United States. As such, with so little to work with, the show is quite different from what later games like A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time would establish for the series. Where Link, especially in future installments, is often depicted with Innocent Blue Eyes and blonde or goldish brown hair (which extends to the manual of the original game), he has dark brownnote black in "The Ringer" and "Cold Spells" hair and brown eyes. Personality-wise, Link is often depicted as a Humble Hero who often travels the land of Hyrule to slay monsters and retrieve magical items to help him in his quest, though here he's assigned to live in the castle and is an arrogant wise-cracker who is madly in love with Zelda and can be rude, lazy and perverted at times, though he is shown to genuinely care about Zelda and the kingdom of Hyrule. Princess Zelda is often depicted in the cartoon as haughty and often feisty, in contrast to the typical depiction of her as a benevolent ruler. Her relationship with Link also varies between Platonic Life-Partners and potentially being in love with each other, while never going to the realms of Vitriolic Best Friends.* The only exception was in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but even then it was a one-sided kind of relationship due to her mistakenly thinking Link looked down on her. Once he saved her from the Yiga clan, she drops the hostility entirely. Additionally, contrasting the common Damsel in Distress role Zelda has in the games, she is a very active participant in battles, something she's usually never involved with save for the occasional Final Boss battle. Ganondorf was not a concept at the time as neither Ocarina of Time nor the mention in the manual of A Link to the Past existed. The Ganon in this series is also not very large, depicted as a more comical villain as seen in many cartoons at the time. He also usually relying on his minions to do the job for him. He also seems to have an interest in Zelda and attempts to make her his bride, whereas Ganondorf in later games has no such interest, only wanting to seize his hands on power and displays outright hate for her and her family. There are only two pieces of the Triforce, which are depicted as glowing triangular structures of two differing colors rather than flat, golden triangles. The Triforce of Courage wouldn't be established until the second game, which was at the time this cartoon was made. Various important staples in the series, such as non-human races like the Gorons or Zoras, locations such as Zora's Domain and the Temple of Time, and the Master Sword, had not been introduced to the series when the cartoon was made. As such, Hyrule is entirely populated by Hyliansnote this term wasn't introduced until A Link to the Past, however, two of the most prominent locations in the show are North Castle and Death Mountain, and the Crissword, a dagger-like sword capable of firing sword beams, is Link's weapon of choice.

Link typically doesn't have to deal with recoil when he fires his sword beams either one-handed or two-handed, no doubt because he's used to it. But when Zelda initially tries to use his sword thusly in "The Missing Link", the recoil catches her off-guard and knocks her backwards, though not across the room. She gets better at it with a little coaching from Link.

At first, he's just stunned that it actually happened and so easily at that, and simply remarks it seemed "colder" than he imagined it. Then it is subverted at the end of the episode. Link, being Link, offers to kiss each of the Zeldas; the evil twin accepts and they both seem equally pleased with their second kiss. The real Zelda, however, declines and seems quite displeased by all of it.

He did sometimes briefly lower his voice for creepy effect, though. In "Stinging a Stinger," the backstabbing con man Sleezenose has a similarly raspy voice, although even higher-pitched than Ganon's. It fits because he seems elderly, and it also shows how pathetic and repulsive he is.

This has more or less been adopted by fans as canon, and entered canon to a certain degree as of Wind Waker, though Link in that game has more than one Bag of Holding.

In the game, while his invasion of Hyrule was successful, he doesn't do a whole lot after that, and despite being an Evil Sorcerer, his spells are limited to fireballs and invisibility. Here, despite also being a Squishy Wizard in this incarnation, his spells are a lot more varied. They range from simple parlor tricks to powerful spells, among them being Teleport Spam, Beam Spam, Summon Magic, Forced Species Transformation, inflicting Power Incontinence, creating an Evil Knockoff, and the aforementioned fireballs. When items are factored in, his repertoire expands to pulling overworld objects to the Underworld, using a Mind-Control Device, and trapping his enemies in a bubble.

While not much is shown of Ganon's personality in the first two games, he doesn't do a whole lot besides invade Hyrule, get the Triforce of Power, and kidnap Zelda. In fact, he's retroactively made dumber by the Hyrule Historia confirming that his previously cunning intelligence had degraded over the centuries with every resurrection he underwent in the Downfall Timeline, where these games take place. Here, Ganon is at least able to come up with an evil plan every week, and he knows how to take advantage of his enemies' weaknesses (such as Prince Facade's fear of getting dirty, or Link's infatuation with Zelda). That said, due to the nature of cartoon villains in the 80's, his plans are always doomed to fail.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_7570a10c	comment	Bond Villain Stupidity: Ganon has both played this trope straight and subverted it more than once: "Kiss N' Tell": Link (in anthropomorphic frog form) hits his head on a tree branch while dodging one of Ganon's magic blasts and is knocked out cold. Instead of finishing him off directly, Ganon summons two giant Deeler spiders to do it before taking Zelda to the Underworld without waiting. But when Link wakes up shortly afterwards, his newfound frog instincts unexpectedly take over and he eats them, much to his disgust. "Stinging a Stinger": After Ganon captures Link, Zelda, and one-off Con Man Sleezenose (whom the former stole Link's already-stolen sword from), he has them thrown into a large cell to be eaten by Gohma before leaving to conquer Hyrule. He didn't count on them being able to incapacitate Gohma and break out of the cell with Sleezenose's lockpicks. Subverted in "Cold Spells" when Link and Zelda fall into Ganon's giant zap-proof holding jar after a shortcut. Ganon summons Gohma to eat them and sticks around to watch, but Link and Zelda manage to get out anyway with Spryte's help. He attempts to subvert this again in "That Sinking Feeling" by magically tying Link up in chains and immediately preparing to blast him. Lucky for Link, Zelda blasted Ganon with magic before he could do it.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_a4414a05	comment	Adaptation Dye-Job: Zelda is depicted in the sprite of the first two games as red-haired, but the cartoon makes her blonde. In retrospect, this is the correct choice, as she was only red-haired in those games because of the NES's technical limitations, and is depicted as blonde in the instruction manual for the first game.note Her hair and dress actually match Link's current color, and usually appears red because most players find the Red Ring inside Ganon's Lair; Zelda can be blue if you only have the Blue Ring or green if you have neither. The Zelda in Zelda II is actually a different person. She gained blonde hair consistently from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past onward, with the exception of her brunette incarnation in Twilight Princess.note As a precedent, this was also the reason why Princess Peach / Toadstool (who was always meant to have blonde hair) was red-haired in Super Mario Bros. and Lost Levels, and then brown in Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 but blonde as intended from Super Mario World onward.

Here, however, he's lazy, self-centered, whiny, and basically only motivated by getting Zelda to kiss him and his own ideas of what being a hero is. Zelda herself isn't much better. Most incarnations of her are kind, regal, and wise. This version of Zelda is overly snappy, extremely arrogant, dismissive, snarky, and just plain rude most of the time with some episodes additionally painting her as vain and self-absorbed. She also often refuses to give Link the time of day no matter how many times he saves her and her kingdom. She is, after all, the whole reason why the Well, Excuse Me, Princess! trope exists.

He's also of roughly human physique, compared to the towering brute he's usually portrayed as in the games. And to an extent, most monsters - in the cartoon, everything takes one hit from any weapon to get defeated except for Ganon. He takes 3, but from any weapon, not just the Magical Sword and the Silver Arrows. In one episode, Zelda delivers the third hit with a boomerang. Link himself, despite the Adaptational Badass treatment also applying. He's shown to be incredibly skilled at aiming his sword beams, but without his sword, he can barely defend himself. The few times he's show to actually swing a sword, he's a bit sloppy. One time could be chalked up to the panic of not being able to use the beams anymore, but otherwise his actual swordsmanship leaves a bit to be desired.

Link beats the goons and saves the old man, who introduces himself as Sleezenose before offering him a new sword as a reward for saving him. Link is reluctant to give up his current sword, but Sleezenose manipulates him into making the switch. It then turns out that the goons were working for Sleezenose, and let Link "save" him as part of a scheme to con Link into giving up his sword. After Link and Zelda are captured by Ganon, Sleezenose then tries to sell the sword to the evil wizard, but sets too high a price, this infuriating Ganon and causing him to order Sleezenose to be fed to Gohma with Link and Zelda. Sleezenose later manages to open the cage and attempts to escape on his own and lock Link and Zelda in, but is stopped by the two and forced to assist them in getting Link's sword back and defeating Ganon.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_e9db9908	comment	Younger Than They Look: According the VHS box of the series released by Tempo Video, both Link and Zelda are both fifteen years old in the show, though their voices and, sometimes and notably with Link in the earlier episodes, how they're drawn in some scenes can make them appear older to viewers.

Said maiden refuses Zelda's help, wanting to be saved by a "handsome hero" instead. Justified because she was actually a Gibdo in disguise and the whole thing was a trap to turn Link into an anthropomorphic frog.

The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_f627b434	type	Platonic Life-Partners
The Legend of Zelda (1989) / int_f627b434	comment	Princess Zelda is often depicted in the cartoon as haughty and often feisty, in contrast to the typical depiction of her as a benevolent ruler. Her relationship with Link also varies between Platonic Life-Partners and potentially being in love with each other, while never going to the realms of Vitriolic Best Friends.* The only exception was in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but even then it was a one-sided kind of relationship due to her mistakenly thinking Link looked down on her. Once he saved her from the Yiga clan, she drops the hostility entirely. Additionally, contrasting the common Damsel in Distress role Zelda has in the games, she is a very active participant in battles, something she's usually never involved with save for the occasional Final Boss battle.
