Nintendo-inspired theatre

Here’s one we’ve unfortunately missed: a play based on the life and times of Princess Zelda and her heroic often-time rescuer, Link, both characters from the long running Zelda series on multiple Nintendo gaming platforms.

The production by the Foolhardy players, entitled Liink & Zellda (do you think the misspelling will protect them from copyright infringement? - or is that why the play is now closing? I can’t think of any other possible reason why its run is over already) updates the fairy tale, finding the troublesome twosome no longer living in domestic bliss.

Liink and Zellda do what they always do to obtain the Tryforce. She gets into trouble and loses it. And he saves her and gets it back. But, after Liink and Zellda come to blows, they part ways to decide what’s best for them – can they survive alone?

Unfortunately, Liink and Zellda closes tonight in London.
