The Legend of Zelda/YMMV/Animated

"Link: Yes you do!! Yes you do!! *sings* That's why you can seeeee meeeee!!!! *stands up on a ledge to proclaim the glorious news to the rest of Level-9* Zelda: Get down, you idiot!! They'll hear you!! Link: ZELDA LOVES ME!!! ZELDA LOVES ME!!! ZELDA LOVES ME!!! Ganon (a bit surprised by the singing that came out of nowhere): THEY'RE HERE!!"
 * Awesome Music: The music and sound effects in the cartoon were all taken from the original Zelda game, including the iconic "Overworld" theme.
 * Designated Protagonist Syndrome: Link and Zelda might be the heroes, but they're not the most likeable characters out there.
 * Engaging Chevrons: Ganon is particularly guilty of this, providing an almost constant running narrative about his thoughts and plans regardless of whether anyone is listening. Link, however, is almost as big an offender; the very first episode, "The Ringer," opens with him complaining to his reflection about how life in Hyrule is boring.
 * Funny Moments: Late in "The Missing Link," Ganon states that Zelda is able to see Link's non-corporeal form due to The Power of Love. Both Link and Zelda are in earshot of this. Zelda profusely denies this to Link...


 * I uploaded this, starring Ganon, just for you.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode in which Link exists only in spirit form and Zelda needs to help him is reversed in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, with Zelda as the ghost and Link as the person to protect her.
 * Zelda's Adaptation Dye Job became true in A Link to The Past.
 * Chances are many a fan have though of Link's cathchphrase of "Well Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!" after witnessing his canon interactions with Tetra and Midna.
 * In the beginning of the 5th episode, the King of Hyrule takes a nightly stroll along his castle, exclaiming "Nothing better after a good meal." In a later moment when Link is trying to swing in Zelda's bedroom after the King gives him some flowers for help, he says "Good luck, my boy!"
 * Ho Yay: Link gets a kiss from the king in one episode.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"
 * Narm Charm: It has its moments.
 * Nightmare Fuel: As campy and corny as this show is, you gotta admit that the way Ganon speaks is kinda... creepy for a kid's cartoon.
 * So Bad It's Good: It's pure cheese, but nevertheless beloved by many fans of the Zelda franchise.
 * What an Idiot!: It's hard not to see why many people don't like this version of Link when you write him as a moron with an ego, a one track mind and an obnoxious attitude. Zelda might NOT want to make while her father's being kidnapped? No kidding!!!
