The worst part about the Zelda episodes is that it is just a series of commercial endorsements. Before each episode, not just at the beginning of the series, there is a lengthy advertisement for a Mario Brothers cartoon. It is a blatant and unnecessary plug. I didn’t pay good money for an advertisement to be shoved in my face over and over again.
The episodes themselves aren’t very good either. I don’t recommend buying it.

Inspired by Nintendo’s smash hit video game, the Legend of Zelda cartoon was blocked together with a Super Mario Bros. cartoon as well, but unlike that animated series, Zelda had little going for it. These thirteen episodes (roughly about 10-15 minutes each) revolve around heroic Link defending the often attacked kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Ganon. In between, Link also defends Hyrule’s reigning princess Zelda, from whom he attempts to steal a kiss from. Now I know that this is aimed towards kids, but even when I was a kid I didn’t like this show, and watching it now, I can see it for the pure idiotic camp fest that it really is. The animation is stiff (and why do Link, Zelda, and everyone else have elf ears?), the voice acting is atrocious, and the show isn’t even remotely entertaining. This three disc DVD set is worth a look for those who enjoyed the series, but only a look. With 13 relatively short episodes, why space them out (along with the little features included here) on 3 discs? This set is a rip-off, and if you are considering purchasing it, wait until it’s at a much cheaper price.

I brought this as a gift for a big Zelda fan, i do not jest when i say he has played and completed every single Zelda game ever made, when i first saw this gift i thought it would make an ideal present. i was wrong.
If you are buying this to see if the game is something you would like to to or even if you are buying this as a fan of the game, dont bother, even though it was made in the 80’s it lacks all the charm and charisma that the games possess, the character Link, is nothing like he is portrayed in the games in fact he’s a cocky and arrogant and possesses none of the hero charm . this was just one big let down after another and cant even be watched for its nostalgic value.
Compared to the games this it complete and utter rubbish, in fact, compared to other 80’s cartoons it is utter rubbish, i highly recomend that if you are thinking of buying this, dont, save your money and but the next game, or even arc the lad which actually was made into a sucessful anime cartoon, unlike this.
Of course, this is just my opinion and i am sure some people will not share my point of view, but on the whole i found this to be a major disapointment
Thanks

Link is the most annoying cartoon character ever. All he does is whine and say “EXCUSE ME PRINCESS”. AVOID…

Each episode is 15 minutes! FIFTEEN MINUTES! That’s the equivalent of six syndicated shows! Only three hours of material!
Does this warrant three dvds and $30.00? The show is campy and fun, but come on. Don’t rip the consumer a new one.
