Yeah no. Sherlock sucks so badly.It's never going to happen, but:
- fantasy;
- IP aimed both to children and adults;
- time travel;
- clever puzzles.
... Steven Moffat would be a perfect fit as the writer of the Zelda movie.
Miyamoto being involved makes me think this will be an Ocarina of Time movie.
Champion Tunic at the start. At the beginning of Act 3 he will obtain his green tunic after a redemption montage of training/enlightenment.What tunic ya'll think our boy is rocking? Classic green or Champions Tunic? I'm leaning towards the champion's tunic since it's the most iconic now given the sales of botw and totk
That’s still gonna happen regardless of this movie. Universal would have needed to land an exclusive license which I doubt Nintendo would have agreed to.No Universal this time? I hope nothing happened between them and Nintendo. I still want my Zelda expansion at Nintendo Land.
You could argue it's because TotK is both the most recent game and a defining release for Nintendo this year, but every publication I see, from Variety and Hollywood Reporter to Complex and Consequence of Sound, is using TotK Link in their header images.It will be interesting to see which tunic they pick. I feel like the blue tunic has a claim of being just as iconic as the green one and doesn’t risk looking goofy in live action.
I can’t even imagine who would play Samus. So many people out there
it wasn't bad, but it most certainly wasn't good either.Why are people thinking this will be bad? Was the Mario movie by Illumination bad?
Pre-vis of Mouse Guard - directed by Wes Ball (got cancelled by Disney after the merge with Fox)
Man so much of this news is a bummer, between the people behind it and it not being animated.
At least this means no Smash movie I suppose.
Suspect Aonuma will be involved on the Zelda front - writers are changeable, if he doesn’t work out (see Marvels’s attempts with Blade) and sony are also the studio that paid entire budgets for the James Bond films with basically full creative control for EON so… I think its too early to be worried just yet
everyone says this like Ghibli actully wants to make a Zelda movie and not think it's beneath themLive action sounds terrible.
They should have let Studio Ghibli make an animated feature instead.
nvm this will be peak
Yeah in one scene. He'll be like "the hat really pulls the outfit together" and Zelda will be like "you look ridiculous" and he'll be like "haha yeah that's what I thought too" and quickly take it off.Will Link wear the hat though?
I think goofiness will come down mostly to the style than the color.It will be interesting to see which tunic they pick. I feel like the blue tunic has a claim of being just as iconic as the green one and doesn’t risk looking goofy in live action.
Both. He'll have one for most of the movie and then acquire the other towards the end after [INSERT SETBACK] before preparing for [INSERT CLIMAX] and it will inspire him.What tunic ya'll think our boy is rocking?

Bruh they went to illumination for Mario they just want to make money and spread the brandwhy couldn't this be directed by denis villeneuve or something?! i was hoping nintendo would want a zelda movie series to actually be a critical darling and not... what this will most likely be!
Here you goNow, this came out of nothing. I want to see the cast.
It will be Tom Holland, won't it?
you can be critically acclaimed while also being a massive pot of gold - LotR did it!Bruh they went to illumination for Mario they just want to make money and spread the brand
Biggest issue is gonna be making the hat look good.l think goofiness will come down mostly to the style than the color.
Like some of those bright ass superhero costumes would look
It's not that they're setting out to actively create a bad movie, it's that they're not prioritizing the elements that would most confer critical success. For one, the top filmmakers tend to demand a much higher degree of creative control.you can be critically acclaimed while also being a massive pot of gold - LotR did it!
i realize you're not saying that but, it was my dream. a foolish one, obviously, but still, a dream.
won't start filming for a few years since they only just started developmentThis seems to be his dream directing job, I'm willing to give the guy a chance
anwyays it won't even start filming till the strike is over you know
Link will definitely not wear the pointy hat.I can also see them going with something close to the Twilight Princess look for Link.
OoT Link would be too goofy for a live-action modern film and BotW's Link - whilst great - is not the iconic green.
yes, it's very obvious that nintendo's point in creating these movies is purely to have a marketing vehicle for their brands to reach an even wider audience. makes sense for a massive corporation.It's not that they're setting out to actively create a bad movie, it's that they're not prioritizing the elements that would most confer critical success. For one, the top filmmakers tend to demand a much higher degree of creative control.
I'm sure we all wanted Mario to be as good as possible. It would've been great to have someone like Pixar work on it. I would fucking love if Peter Jackson made this Zelda movie. I would be hyped as hell as opposed to... pretty apprehensive. Nintendo's agenda seems to be a little different. Unfortunately.
Why are you doing this to me? I need an unyeah button.
Sony doesn't have theme parks? I don't understand why making a live action movie with Sony prevents them from opening theme parks.So this is basically what will consume Miyamoto for the next 2-3 years. I wonder if Universal will still be able to get the theme park rights.
I can't see it not being loosely based on Breath Of The Wild (probably in the time with the champions etc...)I kinda hope it isn't based on OoT. The whole kid becoming an adult doesn't work as well in Live-Action to me. If they ever did an animated OoT it would be amazing though. I think the only excitement I have for this is that we will probably see a big Zelda blowout around the time of the movie's release. Maybe that'll be when the next mainline is out.
