Recently, news pointed out that the live-action "Legend of Zelda" drama project that Netflix will cooperate with Nintendo to develop in 2015 has been canceled. The news comes from American comedian Adam Conover.
Adam Conover revealed in a recent podcast event that he is discussing with Nintendo to make a clay animation project adapted from Star Firefox. Adam Conover said at the event that he had worked at Collegehumor and had a secret collaboration with Nintendo on the "Star Firefox" clay animation project. One day it was a weekend, he learned that Shigeru Miyamoto would visit the studio and expressed to the boss that he wanted to participate in the event, but was rejected by the boss. He is still angry with that boss.
After that, Adam Conover revealed that a month after that, he suddenly heard that Netflix would no longer continue to produce the live-action drama "The Legend of Zelda". Later, the "Star Firefox" project they cooperated with Nintendo was also canceled. The actor's answer from the boss was that because someone on Netflix revealed the live-action "Legend of Zelda" episode, Nintendo was frightened and stopped all projects.
In 2015, the "Wall Street Journal" took the lead in reporting that Netflix will shoot a live-action series of "The Legend of Zelda" and described it as a "Game of Thrones suitable for family audiences" in the report. Two weeks after the publication of this report, then Nintendo President Satoshi Iwata said in an interview that the "Wall Street Journal" report was not accurate.
As "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" reaches the peak of the series in sales, the IP's influence is unprecedented, and fans and players also expect Nintendo to expand the series in many ways.
