Adam Conover, a television personality, says Netflix’s Legend of Zelda project was real, but was canceled due to leaks

Well here is an absolutely important story that came out of nowhere and comes from an equally random source.

Comic / TV host Adam Conover was recently on The Serf Times podcast to talk about a Netflix feature that arrived. This turned into a discussion about the rumored live-action adaptation of Legend of Zelda that Nintendo and Netflix allegedly worked on years ago.

In the discussion, Conover reveals that the project was real, as at the time it had links to another project with Nintendo. This project ended up being canceled, as was Netflix’s deal with Legend of Zelda. Why was everything called off? Nintendo was upset with the leaks about the Netflix deal, which were allegedly leaked by someone from Netflix. When the leak came out, Nintendo decided to crush a lot of projects at the time, including the Legend of Zelda adaptation.

You can hear the full discussion about the project in the video above. Fast forward to the 39:47 mark to hear it.
