No, a new 'Zelda' series isn't coming to Netflix

Fans of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda will not be happy.

There are fake promotional posters that reveal the cast of a live-action series. These doctored, artificial intelligence-generated posters were created by user Dan Leveille. Leveille had an imagined cast that included Tom Holland as Link, Emma watson as Zelda, Idris Elba as Ganon, and Saria, among others.

The posters come complete with the logo of the company. He pointed out that they aren't legit. He said he used Midjourney, an independent research lab focused on design, infrastructure and artificial intelligence to make the images, with the help of Dall-E, a widely-known artificial intelligence system.

Many people took the posters as a sign that the series was legit. Fans of the game reacted quickly to the news of the burgeoning of the store.

The people who thought the posters were an exercise in fantasy had their say as well. I don't want you to toying with my feelings. One person wrote "but this would be a very very cool idea" while another person wrote "dammit I thought this was real..." Imagine if this were a reality. It would have been really cool if she had played the character.

There is a live-action series for the game. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2015 that Netflix was working closely with Nintendo to develop a television show.

It's possible that the series will come to life thanks to the help of the social networking site. It is a pipe dream for now.
