    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

    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.

    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.

    Finding actors for Link and Zelda, fine. But who on Earth could do Ganondorf justice? How do you translate the Gerudo to live-action film? Black actors with red wigs? Mixed-race actors with red wigs? Mixed-race actors with their natural hair, straightened and dyed red?

    There are some lighter-skinned Gerudo in BotW/TotK. Would the actors all be pretty monotonous in look to give them a coherent race identity?

    I was hyped until I saw that Avi “Compulsively Ruins Spider-Man Movies” Arad is producing. 😬

        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

    Link talking is as much of a deal breaker as Mario talking. But the people who love minions will sell their house to watch this film and buy all the merch so they’re still going to get millions.

      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!”

    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
