The Legend of Zelda (2019 TV series)

The Legend of Zelda is a 2019 half-hour CGI animated TV series based on the video game series of the same name. The show debuted on Cartoon Network in the United States, with Eiji Aonuma serving as a creative consultant. The series tells an original story, and follows a brand-new incarnation of Link as he and Princess Zelda set out to unravel the mysteries of the Brotherhood of Demise, a cult that seeks to terrorize Hyrule and revive the Dark Lord Ganon. While its canonicity to the main game series is left ambiguous, the show is meant to fit in with the canon games however the viewer desires. The show is aimed at a family audience, but features violence and mature themes to appeal to older viewers, similar to Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
==Plot==
Hundreds of years ago, a malevolent being known as Ganon terrorized the kingdom of Hyrule. While Ganon laid waste to the kingdom, the demon was bested by a young hero wielding the legendary Master Sword, as well as the ruling Princess of Hyrule. With that, Hyrule was brought to peace. However, this was not to last: in the present day, the sinister Brotherhood of Demise started planning and carrying out random acts of terrorism all over Hyrule, all in the name of carrying out Ganon's will. Princess Zelda calls upon her armies to fend off the Brotherhood, but is all too aware that they may eventually reach their goal of reviving Ganon; with that, she seeks out the latest incarnation of the Hero of old, a young villager from Taryo, as the only one who can wield the legendary Master Sword that seals the darkness.
==Characters==
*Link - Voiced by Bryce Papenbrook. The main protagonist, Link is a 17-year-old Hylian from Taryo Village, and the latest incarnation of the Spirit of the Hero. While this incarnation of Link is fully voiced due to the show's format, he is a quiet person and tends to listen to others rather than speaking his mind.
*Princess Zelda - Voiced by Patricia Summersett. Zelda is the Princess of Hyrule, and the highest authority in the land after the passing of her father, the King. An avid follower of ancient texts fascinated by the legends of the Triforce, Zelda is a brilliant strategist and a skilled warrior. Throughout the series, Zelda connects and communicates telepathically with Link to guide him on his quest. Patricia Summersett reprises her role from Breath of the Wild, where she voiced another incarnation of Zelda.
*Kahban - Voiced by Steve Blum. Kahban is the leader of the Brotherhood of Demise. A descendant of the Yiga ninja clan, Kahban worships Ganon like a god. Highly displeased with the current state of affairs in Hyrule, as well as the strict laws imposed by Princess Zelda, Kahban sees Ganon as the only one who can restore Hyrule as he sees fit.
*Ganondorf - Voiced by Ron Perlman. Ganondorf is the human (Gerudo) form of Ganon, and the series' overarching main antagonist. Revived by Kahban, Ganondorf possesses the Triforce of Power and poses a massive threat to Hyrule. Although presumed dead at the beginning of the series, fragments of Ganon's spirit linger in the air and influence the actions of the Brotherhood of Demise that worships him. Ganondorf does not appear until the Season 1 finale.
*Impa - Voiced by Grey DeLisle. Impa is the Captain of Zelda's Royal Guard, and her second-in-command. A descendant of the Sheikah tribe, Impa serves as a mentor figure for Link, and encounters him several times throughout the series.
