Last week, we reported that video streaming juggernaut Netflix was in talks to produce a live action Legend of Zelda series. As shown in the various discussions taken place over the weekend, we all have our own distinct perspectives on the news.

The idea of using The Legend of Zelda for a TV show or film has been debated by many as being the best and worst thing that could happen to the franchise. An animated 13-episode Zelda television series aired back in 1989, but that didn’t really hit home with the fans. Well, it appears that Netflix is wanting to take a stab at making the idea work.

Hit the jump to watch it performed!

Though apparently this project started all the way back in 2009, and Zelda Dungeon is a partner website, I’ve only recently discovered the series, and I’m extremely impressed. So far they’ve written a little more than 100 pages, and I’ve enjoyed…

Here we have a comical video put together by YouTube user twilitprincess. She took clips from cut scenes of Skyward Sword and edited sound and music to go with specific parts of the video. Some of the sounds featured in the video were taken from Spongebob, the movie Happy Gilmore, the song Sexy and I Know It, and more. Altogether, it’s a rather interesting compilation.
