Audiences love when something fantastic can be explained by a combination of mundane truths, and the modernization of older mediums has experienced a recent surge of popularity (consider how many television series are based around that guy from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works, and think about how many of them are presented in a modern context).
The question is how much subversion should the writing staff conduct? Is the Triforce a set of defense codes for a nuclear arsenal? Is it a computer virus written by Mister Dragmire but then broken into three pieces when he was arrested? In such a scenario it's clear Zelda would serve as some sort of federal agent that he abducts to get what he wants, but who would Link be in a modern context?
Food for thought.
