Having already impressed many with Castlevania, it looks like producer Adi Shankar may now be eyeing up The Legend of Zelda.
Shankar himself took to social media to confirm that he’s working on something, and he similarly confirmed that this new project will be based on a famed video game:
While Shankar clearly doesn’t make any mention of Zelda, The Wrap has word that talks are indeed ongoing for Shankar to develop The Legend of Zelda as a series – although there is no indication yet on whether any such show would be a live-action effort or take the lead of Castlevania and be an animated affair.
The Legend of Zelda began life as a creation of Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka back in 1986. That first game was released on the NES in 1986, with plentiful further games released on an array of Nintendo systems over the subsequent decades. The basic plot point of the original game – and most of the follow-up releases – saw the player controlling Link as he has to rescue Princess Zelda. An animated Zelda series has already been seen, with 1989 giving us the largely guff Legend of Zelda cartoon that was canned after one solitary season.
Expect more on this as it continues to develop.
