Inspired by the popular 1980s Nintendo game, The Legend of Zelda: The Complete Animated Series contains 13 enjoyable, self-deprecating adventures featuring haughty Princess Zelda and her frustrated, would-be suitor and courageous ally, Link. Guardians of the Triforce of Wisdom, a powerful object that sits, curiously unguarded, in Zelda's castle, the stuck-up princess and grousing Link are forever fending off assaults by the evil Ganon, a sort of underworld demon. Ganon wants the Triforce of Wisdom because he possesses a similar Triforce--together, the magical items would make him all-powerful. While there's a lot of sword-and-sorcery action, the tone of Legend of Zelda's short pieces is unmistakably comic, driven by a constant and unrelieved romantic tension between the two leads. Link is constantly saving Zelda's hide, ever-hopeful of a kiss, while Zelda keeps him on tenterhooks, leading him right to the brink of satisfaction and then…well, maybe next time. Among the best episodes is "The White Knight," in which Zelda's infatuation with a vain, preening demon-slayer sends an irritated Link packing—until the interloper refuses to rescue Zelda because he might get his clothes dirty. 1. The Ringer Gannon joins the Hyrule magic contest to try to get an opportunity to steal the Triforce of Wisdom. 2. Sing For The Unicorn A mysterious young woman appears to take her unicorn back from Gannon. 3. Kiss N Tell A Gibdo in disguise tricks Link in to saving her and turns him into a frog. 4. Doppleganger Zelda finds a strange mirror in her room which is actually a portal to Gannons realm. 5. Fairies In The Spring The construction of the Kings' waterpark is interrupted by strange watermonsters. 6. The Missing Link Link is killed by Gannons' magic staff. Zelda and Links' ghost attempt to retrieve Links' body from the Evil Jar. 7. Underworld Connections The Triforce of Wisdom is split into 3, and Link and Zelda must venture into the underworld to retrieve 2 of the pieces. 8. Moblings Are Revolting The Moblins steal Gannons' capture staff and seal him in a magic bubble. Then try to take over Hyrule themselves. 9. The White Knight There's a new man in Zeldas' life, but is he really the man of her dreams? 10. Cold Spells Spring cleaning is interrupted when Gannon casts a spell on Spryte and steals the Triforce of Wisdom. 11. Stinging a Stinger Link get swindled out of his sword, and into some trouble. 12. A Hitch In The Works A time of peace brings on more trouble than it's worth. 13. That Sinking Feeling Gannon tries to capture Link and Zelda with a Magic Magnet, but gets a Cupid Statue instead, which enrages Zelda.
