Nintendo is adapting another major franchise into a film.
Arguably, whether this turns out decent or atrocious may depend, in part, on whether it’s a straight adaptation of the games (removes sensory elements that games and film don’t have in common, causing serious issues); or if it’s something that would fit better in a film, albeit taking place in Hyrule.
It may also depend on whether portions of the production team actively dislike the source material (cough cough Netflix Witcher cough cough)
Oh, no!
Can’t wait to see who they pick to play Zelda, the hero of the game!
Chris Pratt
He’s so cool!
I don’t know if I should be excited or scared 😳
I would be scared but after Super Mario surprised me so much with how amazing it was, I’m willing to at least give it the benefit of the doubt.
Detective Pikachu and Mario were both great.
One piece has also been a nice surprise.
Cautiously hopeful I think is the best we can muster.
I will laugh if they decide to cast Orlando Bloom as Link.
Nah man it’s going to be Orlando Jones
Nah, it will Chris Pratt.
HE’S SO COOL!!!
The “Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess!” Version of link?
I was hyped until I saw that Avi “Compulsively Ruins Spider-Man Movies” Arad is producing. 😬
He has some good movies under his belt. Into the Spider Verse was good. And he did the Iron Man movie.
That’s fair. He also did the first couple Raimi Spider-Man flicks and the '97 X-Men cartoon. So he has worked on some solid projects. But looking through his IMDB credits is mostly not inspiring. He’s produced most of the worst superhero movies ever made and few of the best. lol
Oh no
I wonder if link will have any lines.
He spoke quite a lot in the cartoon series, and from some of the reactions his silent dialogue receives in the games, as well as how he is portrayed in ads and other Nintendo produced media, they seem to have kept his personality very similar if not the same as that cartoon version of Link.
“Excuuuuuuuse me, Princess!”
I hope they take inspiration from the Twilight Princess manga.
If they keep the story small enough, it could work. If they try to cram the last 3 decades or lore and plot and characters into 1 movie, it’ll just fall apart
I hope we get some good Koji Kondo music out of this.
I thought the Mario movie had a 10/10 soundtrack, so if they can just do the same thing but for Zelda music, I will be thrilled.
Well, the franchise was nice while it lasted!
Maybe it’s not that bad, the last Doom game was decent despite that awful Doom movie having existed.
It’s about time. Nintendo’s been toying with the idea of a Zelda movie for years, so I’m glad to see that something may finally come of it. I’m really interested to see who they’re going to cast for this.
This can go one of two very different ways.
I’m personally hoping for a super dark, gritty movie that I know will never ever happen.
I’m pretty sick of the 90s+ edgification of old IPs, but even I would be very interested to see the attempt.
Although a lot of modern Zelda fans are kids, so they need to appeal to them first, with all their latent purchasing power 🤩 just about to start getting jobs and buying their own consoles
Honestly, I think I just want to see Majora’s Mask.
