I have always enjoyed King Arthur. I mean, we can see how that classic ol' tale inspired The Legend of Zelda in more ways than one.

It's just a hard case, though because, well, to make King Arthur exciting to people, you have to basically transform him and his mythology into something new (like LoZ). King Arthur himself? His mythology has been explored many a time. The show Merlin was probably a good example of how you can reinvent the story to give it a fresh breath of life, but there's only so many ways you can do that before you do have to ask "Why not just create a new IP altogether where you aren't as limited by the expectations of what should be there?"

Like, imagine a King Arthur story without the sword in the stone being a major part of it? I'd be like "Wtf man?!?"

But a LoZ game without that? Sure, why not. It's cool when it happens, but I don't feel particularly obligated to have such a moment in any individual Zelda game.
