Captain N: Quest for the Potion of Power

The main thing these two cartoons have in common is that they're both poorly remembered. They're both also inspired by Nintendo games.

Captain N: The Game Master is a cartoon that started airing in the late eighties about a boy and his dog who are transported to Videoland. The main character, Kevin, fights against villains from Nintendo games in order to save, and like most eighties cartoons it was a great vehicle for advertising all those nifty games kids should probably ask their parents to buy after they were done watching the episode.

The Legend of Zelda cartoon is based - as you probably guessed - on the game of the same name. In The Quest for the Potion of Power, Zelda and Link join forces with Kevin. This admittedly does make some sense though, since Captain N exists in a video game world and helps video game characters.

It's gets pretty meta for the Legend of Zelda characters however. They don't know they are from a video game, but despite this weirdness, both shows are eighties/early ninties cheese and the crossover isn't half bad.

West loves pop culture, movies, comics and TV-shows just as much as you do. Probably. Since you're reading this. Also, she has a cat. He's pretty awesome.
