    The fact that it is gonna be live action is what concerns me the most. I hope it’s live action in the style of the Netflix One Piece series and not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film.

    It better be a really unique movie, make it in the style of a Studio Ghibli film and not have it follow the standard movie structure, like an experimental film.

    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?

      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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
