Zelda and Link will be co-protagonists.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

according to who?

 

[mrqs]

Is that guy reliable? Does anyone know his track record?

 

[RoboFu]

Live action would flop hard. But then again I seriously doubt these rumors are real.

 

[lh032]

bet they are looking for diverse character to play Zelda.

 

[Lynkk]

I don't want Link to have voice.

 

[ultrazilla]

I think Nintendo and Universal need to get in touch with Guillermo Del Toro for directing duties and then bring in both Weta Digital and Jim Henson Productions to help bring the world
of Hyrule to life.

If not Del Toro for director, my second pick would be Louis Leterrier(Clash of the Titans and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)

There's no doubt the Zelda movie(s) have to be treated exactly like how New Line Cinema was able to make the live action Lord of the Rings movies. NO CAMP.

I agree, Weta Workshop is a must. If Del Toro is involved, keep him away from the writer's room.

I don’t see how a Zelda movie works because Link doesn’t speak. But then again I didn’t see how a Mario movie would work and clearly that turned out fine . Plus what makes Zelda fun is spending lots of time aimlessly wandering around trying to solve puzzles in a dungeon and getting stuck and unstuck.

But that’s old Zelda. With these BotW games I guess maybe they could lean into the story from those with that cutscene anime style they have. It just seems very un-Zelda to me, if they go that route.

 

[nial]

They're not going to collaborate with a Japanese animation studio for Zelda after the massive success of the Western-made Mario movie, come on people...

 

[StereoVsn]

So, will Chris Pratt voice Link?

 

[AJUMP23]

Just make an animated one. Studio Gibli style.

If link talks they failed.

 

[Azelover]

Gross…Should be animated, its the only way it will translate without either looking stupid like say One Piece on Netflix or too dark and mature.

What if it looks like Lord of the Rings though?

 

[Draugoth]

Megan Fox?

 

[Gojiira]

What if it looks like Lord of the Rings though?

Depends,they would have to seriously consider the art direction for that. For instance OoT Link would look hilariously out of place with the campy tunic and hat.
If they made Link more like his Twilight Princess look then sure go full LOTR, Dark and serious, play into horror aspects with Redeads and Stalfos, make Ganon a truly malevolent villain.

 

[Deerock71]

If Peter Jackson directs it count me in!

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

If this gotta happen, it should be animated. Live action would probably ruin it imo.

 

[ADiTAR]

I'm also not sure how they can make this movie in this day and age, it'll be wrong to hire any actor who's not really Hyrulian for the role.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Who cares about Link and Zelda. Just gimme some THICC gerudos

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Many people thought that Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring was a spiritual Zelda.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Give me a Marin and Malon

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Borrachos Drogadictos .

Link Drunk-Drug

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Give me a Marin and Malon

H-Heimdall, wait! What are you doing with that rope?!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

H-Heimdall, wait! What are you doing with that rope?!

They are going to help me keep order and clean my house... Because by my side I have my queen Kat .... Im going to save this pic

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Oh, that makes sense. All for Queen Kat!
But wait, what are you doing with that rope again?
H-HEIMDALL STOP!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Oh, that makes sense. All for Queen Kat!
But wait, what are you doing with that rope again?
H-HEIMDALL STOP!

I give you Saria, lana of hyrule warriors and the girl from the Bombchu store, and I keep Zelda for having a good butt .

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

I want Kat too!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I want Kat too!

No no no no...

I'm going to rescue her!!!!!

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

No no no no...

I'm going to rescue her!!!!!

You're too late! She now has cellulite!

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

What happened to this thread?

 

[Hudo]

Inst Link forbidden from having a voice by Nintendo mandate nowadays? Are they gonna ignore that?

It will be a silent film. Buster Keaton is playing Link.

 

[Harlock]

Somewhere a writer is already thinking "is time to gender swap and Zelda be a girl".

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

You're too late! She now has cellulite!

It doesn't matter? I am faithful to who she is as a person.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Somewhere a writer is already thinking "is time to gender swap and Zelda be a girl".

There are still people who think Link is Zelda

 

[TLZ]

Live action? Oh boy how's that gonna turn o..

 

[TLZ]

Many people thought that Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring was a spiritual Zelda.

Who's Zelda and Link? Frodo and Sam?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Who's Zelda and Link? Frodo and Sam?

Frodo was link.... Zelda was Galadriel

 

[Robb]

Live-action?

Doesn’t sound great, might work better with Metroid. My dream would be a Studio Ghibli adaption.

 

[shamoomoo]

Looks good, what's the problem?

 

[Heisenberg007]

I swear I read it as “live-service Legend of Zelda movie.”

F you, Jim Ryan.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

i can't wait to bathe in gaf's snowflake tears when they reveal link is a black woman and zelda is trans

 

[Dazraell]

Does this leaker have any credibility at all? I've been seeing them all over the place recently

 

[L*][*N*K]

God I hope not

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Only if hes the same cocky SOB as in the cartoon in the 80s

 

[justiceiro]

Does this corroborate the rumors we heard early this year (https://www.neogaf.com/threads/univ...e-according-to-insider-jeff-sneider.1657527/)

 

[gaheris]

That doesn't really make sense because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike since they can't talk to any actor or writer at the moment. Nothing can get done especially in live-action until the strikes are over. While a potential deal between Nintendo and Universal will happen I doubt they can be solidified until the strike ends.

 

[PSFan]

I think the question that we should be asking is not who will be Link and Zelda, it's which Zelda game will the movie be based from? We may end up having child Link and Zelda instead of the adult versions.

 

[TLZ]

I don't want Link to have voice.

Mario kinda didn't have a voice, and movie turned out good.

But live action... I don't know.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

When they butcher it, I expect them to say
