The Legend Of Zelda Is Getting A Movie

The Legend of Zelda is getting a movie! Not just any movie though, a live-action movie! Hoo boy this could go so many different ways. On the one hand, Nintendo already has the Mario Movie Illumination made. But on the other hand live-action video game movies never do very well. We have had the Sonic movies, Detective Pikachu, and the Fnaf movie at least. But I think a live-action Legend Of Zelda movie is something that could easily result in a disaster. Maybe they'll go back to animation if it doesn't work? Who knows. I'm saving my opinions for when the trailer comes out.

I can’t wait for Link to look directly into the camera and yell “It’s Linkin’ time” and then grabs the soul of one of the viewers in the theatre

Link reaches out and grabs the soul of one random viewer and they get trapped in The Legend of Zelda movie forever

The only way to do this probably is to instead release in theaters, release it onto the switch, and before you watch the movie, it records, your voice saying certain key phrases and words and links voice is your voice, and of course it would need to be told in parts “” present day, then the past than the inevitable Zelda cyberpunk we all want to see!

I strongly echo the sentiment regarding the movie being live action, unless Nintendo hires the Jim Henson company which if so the movie might be redeemed visually
My main problem with the movie stems from the complex nature of having to adapt a series like zelda that is significantly more narrative driven than Mario
There's a lot of things that could be said about the topic, so much so that this here comment was gonna be 3 pages long until I decided to simply state what I want the movie to be
My solution to a lot of the narrative problems this movie might encounter and what I want the movie to be is simple
An adaptation of Ocarina of Time
Think about it, one of the most recognizable zelda game that is also regarded as a great starting point for people jumping into traditional zelda, one where Zelda is a secretive but active participant in the story thanks to sheik, an established and recognizable Hyrule with a lot of variety in terms of places and people, Navi as a companion that can do most of the talking for Link bypassing the need for him to talk which would jarring as hell, an iconic vilain and lastly the point that really convinced me that OOT was the way to go
An actual strong theme of loss of childhood innocence
Having an actual prevalent theme is not something that most video game adaptations do but it's something that is sorely needed to make a story resonate with people
