Three games released for the Philips CD-i were created by Animation Magic (Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon) and Viridis (Zelda's Adventure) and published by Philips Media, due to a broken deal with Philips to produce a CD-based addon to the SNES. These games are considered by most fans to not be canon and are not acknowledged as such by Nintendo, though the games' poorly-animated cutscenes have been frequently used as a source in many remixes posted on YouTube.
Other media
Airing alongside The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was The Legend of Zelda, a cartoon based on the first two entries in the series by DiC Entertainment, which would air on Fridays in place of the Super Mario cartoon segment.
