Legend of zelda 3-disc dvd set will be released on oct 18
 

Hello..

Tonight ign posted that the legend of zelda cartoon will be on a 3-disc dvd set on october 18 and it will have all 13 episodes.. it will also include the live-action segments of the super mario bros super show..

this is amazing!! i mean i have the first 3 in rm on a cd but now I can finally watch it on full-screen.. no more bad quality movies!!

I'll be picking this up. But I'm really shocked that it's 3 discs. Hopefully the extras are good.

glad to see someone here loves the show as much as I do.

The cartoon may not be like the video gaems but it's classi cnad I am happy I can laugh whenever Link wanted a kiss from zelda..

I remember in episode 2, link wanted to swing into zelda's window and surprise her and her father came out and asked what link was doing.. Link say "I'm going to try to jump in your daughter window and try to let her kiss me".. her father says "noo" link " no?" king then would say "you need flowers, then you might suced" Link then would say " flowers, thank you" then he does and he falls idiotid and then he almost got the kiss when he showed the flowers and of course ganon shows up and captures the king.

that's a good episode becasue link adn zelda goes into ganon castle and tries to save the king and battles all sort of monsters from zelda 1..

I have all 13 episodes on cruddy VHS tapes, so I'll be sure to pick this up. I've been checking our database at Suncoast constantly and we STILL don't have any listings for the Super Show or Zelda DVD sets. I hope we get them in so I can use my discount.

The show was fun. It's not accurate to how we see Zelda today, but back then all Link was was an 8bit pixel with brown hair, green shirt and a sword. It was accurate enough.

I loathed his catchphrase, but that's just about the only thing I really hated about the series. Gannon had a great voice and just about every monster from the first game got to make an appearance. Link used his weapons from the game, went down to the underworld a lot, fought through dungeons full of enemies and everything. It was a pretty good adaptation of the game. Sure, it was a little on the childish-side and not the epic adventure the game was, but it was a kid's show afterall.

Definately worth the money. Too bad it won't have the Club Mario segments, as those teenagers were entertaining in a "God, make it stop" sort've way.

What is "club mario" with teenagers? I remember this show being on the Super Mario Bros. super show with live action Mario and Luigi segments. Anyway, this series is pretty good, I've always liked it better than the Mario cartoon. I used to have a webpage dedicated to this show like, ten years ago. I might get this dvd, but the package art is atrocious...

this is really cool. i remember the cartoon from when i was a kid. I might have to pick these DVDs up.

When they rerans episodes of the Super Show and Zelda they replaced all the Lou Albano segments with "Club Mario" skits involving teenagers doing various "funny" things and talking about video games. They changed the opening sequence too. I guess they thought it would be "cooler".

Wow, I guess I totally missed these reruns. I remember them running edited zeldas on cable in order to fit two eps in a half hour, but I don't ever remember seeing them anywhere else. Also, didn't the mario show used to be on the family channel w/o zelda? My memory is fading...

The Family Channel ran Super Mario All-Stars, which was Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3, and Super Mario World together in one half hour. I may be wrong, but I don't think they included the Super Show because Mario and Luigi had different voices (and the live action segments messed with the cartoon segments length so they couldn't fit Super Show segments in with Mario 3 and Mario World segments).

Holy fu*k you beat me to posting it :D

I am so happy about this. They're keeping the episodes intact, unedited, and in their original order. They did seperate them from the rest of the Super Show episodes, but they are in their original format, and that's all I ask. The box art is a bit stupid, but it looks correct (finally) so I'm damn proud of them. Now I feel confident that the Super Show box will recieve the same treatment. Thank you DiC. :D :D :D

Anybody got a pic of the box art?

I take it the art is completely different from what they used for the 3-episode DVD release. I thought that art was pretty cool (though a little more "hardcore" than the actual show was).

EDIT:

Nevermind. I found it.

And here's a pic of the cover art for the 3-episode DVD:

Yeah, I don't like the art on the new release. It kind of looks like ameteur art. There were old videos that were gold (like the games) released way back when. The art wasn't too bad on those.

Well, the menu art is dead on hardcore.

Nice homage to Adventure of Link in the menu. Cool.

yep i agree with you two.

This cartoon may not have alot of episodes but it was a great series..

After hearing about so many DIC cartoons being released on DVD, I was very skeptical. Especially because of how impossible certain Animation Station DVD's are hard to find. Sure, I can find 87 tons of Prostars and Action Man disks, but it took me forever to find Heathcliff and especially Inspector Gadget. After all that, I felt that all hope was lost. But then, last Saturday I was in Target and saw the Heathcliff and the Catillac cats in a nice box set with actual special features (though not many). To see that in a mainstream store, not just hidden in a Family Dollar, really made my day. Any plans for Inspector Gadget as well?

Man, this cartoon was so stupid, but in a good way. Funny as hell.

ExcuUUUuse me, princess!

Oh this sounds like some good news. :D I just may need to get this.

In light of Don Adams' passing, there better damn be...

Considering they actually did release Heathcliff, there would almost have to be. Wasn't Inspector Gadget one of DiC's first cartoons? Anyway, I THINK there are plans for a box set, but I'm not too sure....
