Sigh. Just don’t. Please. It’s gonna be slop like the Mario movie, or Minecraft or doom or resident evil or alone in the dark… etc
Nothing but greed and profit fuelling this project.
The Sonic movies were pretty decent. Not super amazing, but the bar is so low for video game movies you might as well consider them masterpieces.
However, I do not trust Nintendo to make a good Zelda movie.
You thought the Mario movie was slop?? The target audience (kids) really liked it and it was faithful to the games…
Anything with Jack Black in it is corporate slop and I respect our kids enough to not want to expose their developing brains to that kind of garbage.
The movie was okayish at best, but at least Jack Black was the best part of it.
Also, anything with Jack Black is slop? Even School of Rock? Tenacious D? Weird: The Al Yankovic Story?
After making Jumanji, yes his work has become absolutely shallow and artistically void of anything to say but give me money.
School of rock is a classic but he fucking killed Tenatious D after not liking a joke about a killing a dictator. Yes he’s become corporate slop.
Is Zelda going to say anything? Unless I’m mistaken, if he does you’ll get nerd fans just as upset as Dredd or Master Chief taking off their helmets.
But… You just… You know that… You know that Zelda is the princess and Link is the guy right? Or was this on purpose since you mentioned upset nerds?

You cheeky cunt. 😘
A Zelda movie goes against the core concept of Zelda games
How so?
Miyamoto created Zelda to fulfill a childhood fantasy of being a hero wandering the woods, going on adventures, collecting treasures, and rescuing a princess. It was intended to allow every player to be able to experience and fulfill that same fantasy. As a lifelong Zelda player, I’ve always felt that I become link and embody that hero that we dream of while playing in our backyards. I think that’s why link never had dialogue. He’s not a character, he’s us. I think it’s also why the franchise has always been titled Zelda, not link (for the most part). To give him a voice, and a character that we the player isn’t in control of, destroys that gift of fantasy embodiment that Miyamoto gave to us. Link instead becomes a super hero lost to a world saturated by marvel characters
Yeah having link talk in a movie would totally ruin it
