It was really the whole time …
Now here’s an absolutely important story that apparently broke out of nowhere, and it comes from a source that is equally random.
Comedian / TV presenter Adam Conover was recently on The Serf Times’ podcast to talk about a Netflix feature he was coming to. It has become a discussion of the rumored Legend of Zelda live adaptation that Nintendo and Netflix apparently worked on years ago.
In the discussion, Conover reveals that the project was indeed genuine, as he had ties to another project with Nintendo at the time. The project is finally canceled, just like the Legend of Zelda Netflix deal. Why was everything canceled? Nintendo was upset about the leaks about the Netflix deal, which was allegedly leaked from someone within Netflix itself. When the leak got out there, Nintendo decided to suppress a bunch of projects at the time, including the adaptation of the Legend of Zelda.
You can hear the full discussion about the project in the video above. Fast forward to the 39:47 mark to hear.
