Nintendo

How so?

He'll speak.

WELL EXCUUUUUUUSE ME! PRINCESS!

But... You just... You know that... You know that Zelda is the princess and Link is the guy right? Or was this on purpose since you mentioned upset nerds?

As a huge Halo fan, I wasn’t even upset that Master Chief took his helmet off. No one ever said he’s supposed to be treated like Mohammed or something. I think people were more upset about the fact he spent the majority of the show not wearing any armor at all, because the writers thought a Halo soap opera was a good idea

This Summer Chris Pratt Is....

Would be cool if they made the movie where Link doesn't talk at all. I can't think of any movies with a dumb protagonist, it wouid be a first. They'd also need to find an actor who is really good with acting with their face and body language.

Probably won't happen, though. We're going to get Link who talks and a reference to "Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUssse me, princess!"

what if it's like botw/totk where everyone is fully voice acted, except for link who just waves his hands around every time has to explains something and everyone just repeats what he says.

What? Like maybe the open world ones were light on story, but there's plenty of lore in the Zelda universe to do all sorts of interesting things.

The games just might not be cinematic enough in their telling but a proper screenplay can tell the story better.

The source material wasn't good in the first place.

I'm not sure what the point of an animated version would be... it would be like watching someone else play the game.

Don't think any move would be a good idea, Link doesn't really have a defined character because in the game you're Link. In any movie they'll need to define his character and it'll probably not match most people's expectations because everyone imagines Link's character to be different.

I think Wreck It Ralph was a success because it explicitly wasn't based on a real video game, more just the idea of video games, with cute little references to real games. Starting off with original IP means you don't have an incredibly dedicated fanbase that can pick apart all the inaccuracies in your lore and character portrayals, which lowers the stakes a ton.

Making a Zelda game is risky because there are a ton of people out there with preconceived notions of how Zelda and Link are supposed to be portrayed, how the world is supposed to be portrayed, and the history of that world. If they get any of that wrong, those people are gonna be big mad. The stakes are much higher there.

Wasn't the Mario movie pretty well-received among fans, though? The Resident Evil films were also very successful, despite not being popular with the game's original audience.

You thought the Mario movie was slop?? The target audience (kids) really liked it and it was faithful to the games…

The Sonic movies were pretty decent. Not super amazing, but the bar is so low for video game movies you might as well consider them masterpieces.

However, I do not trust Nintendo to make a good Zelda movie.

The mario movie was great. The animation was really good and it was funny

Based on the trailers I legitimately think the Minecraft movie was written by AI

It could be slop. It also could be fantastic. Some video game adaptions have turned out well.

• Arcane
• Detective Pikachu
• The Last of Us
• Fallout
• Cyberpunk Edgerunners
• Tetris

Is this bait? Like "gif" vs "jif", or is there really a non obvioua way to pronounce it?

Honestly, I don't think there was ever a time when Zelda had lore that spanned outside the borders of the individual games. Or at least, where lore like that was considered important or taken seriously. The whole timelines thing always seemed to me like a kind of after-thought.

The Legend of Zelda has a lot more in common with Final Fantasy. There'll be a lot of similar things in between each game, but each game is self-contained.
