On this day, December 1, 1989, the final episode of The Legend of Zelda animated series aired. Based on the popular Nintendo video game series, the show followed the adventures of Link and Princess Zelda as they defended the kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Ganon.
Despite its short run of just one season with 13 episodes, the series became a cult favorite, remembered for its playful tone and Link’s now-iconic catchphrase, “Well, excuuuse me, Princess!” It originally aired as part of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! on Fridays, setting it apart from the rest of the week’s programming.
