Much like I doubt any Splatoon movie would be spoken in Inklish, I doubt any Zelda movie will have a mute Link.
So like the Mario movie.Sony says the Zelda movie is being made in "closest possible collaboration" with Miyamoto

Didn't see it posted here. This personally doesn't reassure me the slightest. Shiggy is not the right person at Nintendo to supervise this project imo. Should probably have been Koizumi.
Exactly.So like the Mario movie.
I'd rather his BotW/TotK personality. Link is a damn dweeb in those gamesI hope all the characters are closer in characterization to the cartoon. Those dynamics work well.
"Adorable feral chaos goblin" is my favorite Link as wellI'd rather his BotW/TotK personality. Link is a damn dweeb in those games
I don’t disagree it would be more interesting, I just don’t think Nintendo actually views Link as a silent character.I’ve seen loads of fantasy movies with generic boyish elvin protagonists. I’ve seen very few non-silent movies with silent protagonists. To me, silent but determined and honest feels like Link and a big action-fantasy movie where the main character doesn’t talk is so much more interesting than another generic blockbuster.
In Conan the Barbarian, Conan is borderline silent. Has very few lines, but basically every one is memorable and important. It can work.I’ve seen loads of fantasy movies with generic boyish elvin protagonists. I’ve seen very few non-silent movies with silent protagonists.

Yeah Conan the Barbarian is a good comparison. A movie that coasts heavily on its vibes and not much else, to amazing effect.In Conan the Barbarian, Conan is borderline silent. Has very few lines, but basically every one is memorable and important. It can work.
Honestly sounds like his style is perfect for kinda adapting Breath of the Wild, then.One thing I appreciated was it's actually a lot more mellow than previous Apes films, which all had some sort of big action setpieces in the third acts. There's definitely a ton of tension throughout and a tense escape scene in the end but it never really descended into an "action" movie. It was all about story and character and honestly the main threats in the end were not big armies or scary macguffins but ideas and intentions, which is all commendable imo in a film that's so much CGI. All of that is to say I have faith now that Wes Ball can make a good movie out of Zelda without feeling the need to inject a lot of the usual AAA movie trappings that we see so often in other adaptations. I seriously came out of the theater thinking "Okay so the Zelda movie's gonna be good, then."
Yeah... this should be a Koizumi or Aonuma project. Having Shiggy supervising kinda worries me that the project is going to move away from what it should be into a more Mario Movie-like romp. Something like the Mario Movie doesn't play to Zelda's strengths or Ball's strength as a director.Sony says the Zelda movie is being made in "closest possible collaboration" with Miyamoto

probably does have the Zelda staff giving suggestions, but they're not as marketable as "The Creator of The Legend of Zelda, Shigeru Miyamoto". though Aonuma would come closeYeah... this should be a Koizumi or Aonuma project.
