Play based on the Legend of Zelda in London closes tonight: "Liink and Zellda"

At London's Cockpit Theatre (and closing tonight!), a play based on the Legend of Zelda called "Liink and Zellda: The Misadventure" -- don't know if it's any good, but I applaud the spirit nevertheless!

Written and Directed by Serena Obhrai.

Starring Serena Obhrai, Sarah Evans, Darren Stoneham, Simon Newton, Rachael Wharton, Sarah Westman, Helen Lynch and Eleanor White.

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? Don't miss this exhilarating sword fighting adventure with two of your favourite game characters who encounter Gannon for the umpteenth time! Join Liink, Zellda, Marioh, Peech (and more!) on this delightful adventure.

NB; Contains foul language.

Would have liked to have seen this. Brings to mind a (very NSFW) Zelda web serial.

Interesting concept, but I would have liked to see costumes that weren't so literal - it would have made the effect better in my opinion.
