Synopsis:

I removed all of the Mario material and credited a new closing credits sequence, so you can watch just the Zelda episodes. I also rearranged some episodes for "continuity" (and I use that term loosely) reasons.


Intentions:

"The Legend of Zelda" was released on DVD in a three-disc edition by The Shout Factory!; many fans felt this was excessive for a thirteen-episode series. Even the option to play the episodes without the Mario segments still retained the opening theme song of "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show". I decided to cut these out entirely as well as replace the "Do the Mario" closing credits with new Zelda-specific credits. The result fits on two DVDs as opposed to the original three. While I was at it, I rearranged the order of some episodes to have the overall "story" make more sense.


Change List:

- In addition to cutting the Mario material, I rearranged some episodes to provide better "continuity" for the story: - I moved "The White Knight" (which includes a scene with a roaring fire) to before "Cold Spells" (which occurs on the first day of spring). - I moved "The Moblins are Revolting" and "The Missing Link" (in that order) between "Doppelganger" and "Underworld Connections", so Link's horrific screw-up (which originally was the end of the series) is now immediately followed by the revelation that Zelda loves Link (which now comes much earlier in the series). - I moved "That Sinking Feeling" to the next-to-last position, since it features a scene where Zelda is horny for Link and throws herself at him (originally, it came way before the love revelation). - The new final episode, "Fairies in the Spring", features a water park and could thus be considered the end of spring and the beginning of summer. - Cut all Mario material - Retyped closing credits with a Zelda-esque font and added Zelda music.


Additional Notes:

Other Sources:

Charlamagne Std for the closing credits. The "Great Bay" (Zelda) theme music from "Super Smash Bros. Melee" on Nintendo Gamecube for the closing theme.
