Netflix is reportedly developing a live-action show based on Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video games.
The series doesn't have a writer yet, but Netflix is aiming for "Game of Thrones for a family audience," a source told The Wall Street Journal.
If true, this is pretty insane. Video game adaptations have traditionally been absolute crap, and it's rare for anyone to want to touch them. Zelda has yet to be adapted into a live-action production, but the cartoon in the '80s was pretty much the worst thing ever.
But Netflix has been absolutely killing it with its original shows, from House of Cards and Orange is the New Black to the upcoming Daredevil, which looks great. If anyone can make a Zelda adaptation that doesn't suck worse than the Water Temple, maybe it's Netflix?
