Nintendo is adapting another major franchise into a film.
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.
Live-action? Oh no.
I’m so glad I didn’t see this when it was first made, I would have been pretty upset it turned out to be an April fools prank like that time they claimed NIN and Rammstein were making a super group together. Damn them all
I mean EVERYTHING looked great in that trailer except Ganondorfs fucking hair and beard. That’s what gave it away for me :/
For being 15 years old and an April Fool’s joke, that was pretty good.
Oh no
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.
The “Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess!” Version of link?
I don’t know if I should be excited or scared 😳
Cautiously hopeful I think is the best we can muster.
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.
Can’t wait to see who they pick to play Zelda, the hero of the game!
Chris Pratt
He’s so cool!
Of couse they do. For how forgettable the Mario movie was, it basically printed money. If they want to get me hyped they could announce something in the spirit of Twilight Princess instead of a throw-away comedy. But this would make less money and therefore wont be made.
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!”
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
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.
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
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)
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.
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!!!
