'''''The Legend of Zelda''''' was a short-lived television series chronicling the adventures of [[Link]], [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and [[Ganondorf|Ganon]] in Hyrule, which was based off the first two [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' games]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. While the series itself is unrelated to the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' series]], it was part of the same syndication package as the  ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and as with the ''Mario'' cartoons, was produced by [[Nintendo]] & [[DIC Entertainment|DiC Entertainment]].

While ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' was broadcast five days a week, ''Mario'' cartoons only aired from Monday through Thursday. ''[[zeldawiki:The_Legend_of_Zelda_(TV_series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', still accompanied by live-action segments with Mario and [[Luigi]], aired on Friday.

Towards the end of the live-action segments that aired on Monday through Thursday, Mario, Luigi, and/or the guest-star would speak out to the audience and tell them to watch some scenes from the next ''The Legend of Zelda'' episode. A preview featuring several scenes from Friday's ''The Legend of Zelda'' episode was then shown before the live-action segment concluded.

As the characters in the live-action segments are aware of the ''The Legend of Zelda'' cartoons, the series itself actually exists in the overall ''Mario'' series. 

==Trivia==
*The episode "[[Stars in Their Eyes]]" of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' has aliens known as the [[Quirk (species)|Quirks]] singing the theme song of ''The Legend of Zelda'' near the episode's end. Similarly, a certain ''The Legend of Zelda'' episode entitled "Doppelganger" depicts Link humming the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme while practicing with his sword.
*According to Mario, ''The Legend of Zelda'' is [[Mama Mario]]'s favorite show.
*Both this and ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' have the "[[Do the Mario]]" theme song for the credits.
*This also has it's own more heroic lyrical theme song for the credits. (Cartoon Network UK Standalone Version)
