Our third Zelda cel. From the old The Legend of Zelda cartoon series, which ran on Fridays during the Super Mario Super Show. This is the closest these two ever get to actually kissing. Sadly, they never do. But an Eskimo kiss is nice, too. Link is brunette, Ganon was protrayed as a Pig-man sorcerer, Zelda wore pants and she actually fights as much as Link. So many inaccuracies. Notice the jealous fairy? A reference they borrowed from Peter Pan. This cel is very special because it actually has shading (unheard of for DIC Studios).

The Legend of Zelda was made into an animated cartoon as a "show within a show" in the semi-live-action Super Mario Bros. Super Show TV series produced by DiC. The animated Zelda shorts were aired each Friday instead of the usual Super Mario Bros. cartoon that aired during the rest of the week. The series loosely followed the NES Zelda games, mixing settings and characters from those games with original creations. Due to the Super Show's syndicated nature, only 13 animated Zelda shorts were featured within the show's entire 65-episode run. In this version of the Legend, Link and Zelda battled Ganon on a daily basis while keeping Hyrule safe.

Although the series was created to attract fans of the games, like many Nintendo spin-offs it was poorly received by its intended audience, perhaps due to its simplistic plotlines and shallow characters. Link, in particular, is portrayed as a rude, lovesick teenager, contrary to the quiet presence displayed by his game character.

After the cancellation of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, the DiC incarnations of Link and Zelda appeared in various episodes of Captain N: The Game Master during the second season of the show, where they helped Captain N and his friends fight the evil Mother Brain.
