Clearly having a Legend of Zelda cameo was to gather more hi jinks and shenanigans between Captain N and Link on their egos of whose the best hero. And yeah, I always thought Gameboy would be a more useful character to the team, but nope...more shenanigans.
I can leave the voice actor behind, but I kinda like Link's animation in this show than the one on the Super Mario Super Show. If you saw the inside of the game manuals of the early Zelda games, the comic art of how they drew Link in them looks pretty damn close to his animation on this show, especially his hairstyle.
@Hproductions64 the subtitle>main title in the legend of zelda. top billing would actually be the subtitle in the case of this series, because of the lack of numerical names.
Fun Little Trivia Fact, The Shot of NC at 4:20 is actually mirrored, because in filming, Doug looked the wrong way. Check the Audio Commentary for Confirmation.
You can notice with how NC got his cap on, can't you?
"Yes Gameboy will be our greatest hero as he ruins all your posessions, tries to shoot you with armed combat machinery and even manages to destroy your kitchen appliences. truly i am a good king!"
@SuperFlameRing The concept sounds good, but think of it...Isn't all games, when you get down to it, have a plot so shit-worthy or characters that are so cliche' that you can only count on the gameplay for a good jolly time?
It could work if you introduce or move to different games as the show goes. If not, after a few episodes the viewer would grasp how bland and banal the characters really are. (After all, they are built for their own purpose; Mashing them together would result in a fiasco.)
It's curious that Megaman and Simon (two characters that came from third-party developers) look nothing like their original designs, but Pit, Eggplant, King Hippo and Mother Brain (well, kind of) - games that did come from Nintendo itself, are identical to their 8-bit counterparts.
@talktal i agree with u man but the guy makes very good points. i mean i was going "what the fuck is wrong with this guys face, and when there was no back ground, I was like "wtf is wrong with the background!"
@milkygoodness Actually, the Captain N episode where the backgrounds go missing, titled "How's Bayou", wasn't finished the first time it aired. When the episode was shown in reruns, the missing backgrounds were reinstated, but for some reason, the unfinished version was used on the DVD set.
Yeah gameboy was a horrible character from what i remmeber, i belive there was a metroid episode too, that got kinda ignored, i am not sure if i was cause of the qualilty, but who knows, too bad in this series they hardly ever vistsit the different regoins of videoland, honestly, this show could have been written better by a 12 year old in the nes era, and possibly viced better too, more importantly it would have been done by someone who actually loved the games, and cared about the characters
So is there any cartoon that you DO like that's so brilliant and you can't bitch about? If it's not corny to some extent there's actually probably no reason to make them. It's somewhat the point. Perhaps completely the point. You obviously love these cartoons so I'm not sure why you approach these videos the way you do. A bit over the top imo.
If only defeating ganon with the first shield link gets was that easy. Then we zelda fans wouldn't have to spend hours and days of our lives solving dungeon puzzles and collecting items and stuff throughout multiple games. Thanks show :P
I actually liked how the main protagonist and Link looked in that crossover episode. Which is odd, since I generally don't like American animation all that much.
i love how Kid Icarus looks the most accurate out of the 3 video game characters of him, Simon and Megaman. i think thats because nintendo had licensing issues with Konami and Capcom when they made this show and wanted to include their characters without their permission. sooo they ended up making Simon and Megaman looking completly different to avoid law suits. however, Nintendo already owned kid Icarus meaning Kid icarus could look as accurate as possible.
@TomboTime I'd still sue them for not looking like them, really! If I was captain N my first reaction would be, Simon, god, you should sue the animators! And besides, the NAMES of the characters are intact, so they might get sued anyway. (If the show was good enough to give a damn) And why didn't they just use the characters that they do own? They could have easily just gotten Mario Link and Samus. That's what I think when I think Nintendo. When I think CAPCOM I think megaman. (IK they were nes)
@Fedorasnesguy woah dude calm down. its just a cartoon XD. but i DO agree, they should have used their own characters. but it wouldnt make sense to make link and mario ally's because during this time they already had their own TV shows. they also might have wanted some diversity in their characters based on the diversity of the games. and you can't get more diverse than Nintendo, Konami and Capcom, probably 3 of the 4 greatest video game making companies of all time. the fourth one being Sega :P
