Last month, reports started circulating that Netflix was working with Nintendo to develop a television series based on the Legend of Zelda games. With its rich history and lore, a show centered around the Hylian universe has TONS of potential. Needless to say,\u00a0everyone (including myself) was quick to jump on board.\u00a0However, when asked by Time<\/i> about the show’s development,\u00a0Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata made the following statement:<\/p>\n

“As of now, I have nothing new to share with you in regard to the use of our IPs for any TV shows or films, but I can at least confirm that the article in question is not based on correct information,”<\/p>\n

The article which initially reported the rumor was featured in the Wall Street Journal<\/em> in February. While Iwata isn’t necessarily denying that a show could be in the works in the future, it sounds like our initial understanding was pretty off-base. Iwata confirmed last year that the company was seeking to more actively find new partners to work with, so I’m hoping\u00a0this isn’t the end of our hopes for\u00a0more Zelda content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
