We seem to be in some weird topsy-turvy world right now, where videogame movies/shows are suddenly watchable.

It's almost as if the first generation that grew up with them are now of filmmaking age, and replacing the ones that just just saw a bandwagon full of money.

It has to be in close collaboration with miyamoto so he doesn't mistake their licensed venture as pirated media and call in nukes to stop it from happening.

Honestly: why? Miyamoto isn't that involved with Zelda since the N64 days. He also doesn't understand English well, so stuff will get lost in translation.

Instead of a movie, can we just get another game or two?

Best they can do is a remake of an old 2D game with terrible art style.

I actually quite liked the Link's Awakening look.

They release one every couple years. All we're missing are the portable spin-offs made by other companies.

Best we can do is a re-release of Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2.

The movie will only be played on Nokia phones and any attempt to look at the movie on another type of device will be swiftly prosecuted.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the lore of the Legend of Zelda change from game to game based on whatever flavor of knight-saves-princess story framing best suits the gameplay progression? How is this going to be a unique movie? Why does it benefit from the Zelda branding other than to generate franchise hype?

Oh god. Who are they going to get to do the English voice... Probably some movie actor just for the butts in seats factor

It'll be Chris Pratt. He's so cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would instantly buy a ticket if they got ProZD to do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

You’ll get Chris Pratt and you’ll like it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Guess you'll have to wait and see.

Using an existing IP is obviously beneficial because you can attach a lot of existing lore and characters that you know people like.

Given how little story they were willing to put into the last two games they made I'm not sure what they're going to do with the runtime of a movie, and if I'm honest I think I'd rather just watch an orchestra play selected pieces from the series' soundtrack than whatever they're going to do here.

"Hya! Hya! Hyy-ah!!" the WHOLE time

Hey, don't spoil the plot!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I hoped they would have used a studio like Studio Ghibli for a Zelda movie, but I'm okay with this too!
