Why not "what in the name of Hylia" or "in the name of Nayru"?It should be its own story. Possibly non-fanservice references. Maybe just Zelda wistfully explaining the many timelines out there, and Link being like "What in the Land of Hyrule...?"
I don't take Link as much of a pious being, that would be more reserved for Zelda to make such references if we're going to be workshopping dialogue. Not bad suggestion though, just sounds more like Zelda's voice. Link is more of the land, so he would default to such I'd imagine.Why not "what in the name of Hylia" or "in the name of Nayru"?
Zelda has a PANTHEON, by jove, let them not cower away from Zelda's own religion if they try to tell a story...
I feel like the bumpinest bumpkin says "by god", rather than "by the land and the wheat". I think maybe Zelda being specific would make sense- "by Nayru!" when she realises something "by Din" when terrifying, while Link defaults to "By the Goddess" or "By Hylia!"I don't take Link as much of a pious being, that would be more reserved for Zelda to make such references if we're going to be workshopping dialogue.

It's supposed to be analogous to "what in the world," but with a twist so you know it's Zelda, and just feels charming to me as it informs Link's character as not knowing much outside of where he begins his journey. Zelda can absolutely say that because that informs her character as at least having such religious academic knowledge. If Link comes from a churchly village then sure.I feel like the bumpinest bumpkin says "by god", rather than "by the land and the wheat".

Though "by Hylia" has slightly awkward implications for Zelda- "by grandma!"

That just seems like a terrible pigeonholing decision on both fronts. They should be able to take from all facets of their property to make a movie that is distinct from their games.didn't include wind waker and the handheld games for obvious reasons (too nich or small scaled/ won't work in live-action)
OoT is just LttP in slightly different. i would say neither works as the definitive zelda movie story, but a mix (mythology/races/characters from OoT, and mechanical structure (3 -> sword -> dark world) would probably be the way to go. its not as if there is a definitive interpretation of the zelda world....For me, Link to the Past works best even though it's neither my favourite story nor game because it has front-loaded drama with Link's uncle dying and Link rescuing Zelda from the castle.
That then frees Zelda up to go adventuring with Link, visiting towns and temples and learning that Ganon is behind the already-defeated Aganhim (or whatever). Then maybe separating for a while as he searches for the master sword and she looks for a way into the sacred realm. Then the climax is the sacred realm turning into the dark world, evil seeping into Hyrule, yadda yadda, Link and Zelda defeat Ganondorft and use the Triforce to undo the damage.
It doesn't get more "standard Zelda story" than that.
With OoT you're introducing time travel and child / adult casting, which is tough, and Zelda spends most of the story as Sheik, which is far easier to make work in a low-polry game than in a movie played by an actual actress.
I just hope they retain the whimsical nature of much of the games. The slightly wacky characters and situations.
It would be great if this movie was a commercial and critical success, with everyone then expecting a sequel. Only for them to announce the sequel is a chibi-style anime movie, and have all the fans melt down. I really want to experience that whole cycle again. That would be true Zelda.
ancestors worshiping is a big thing in east Asia and about din i always thought that hylians should be awkward about her especially with the whole thing with ganondorf and the divine prank thing in twilight princessI feel like the bumpinest bumpkin says "by god", rather than "by the land and the wheat".

I remember people saying the exact Same thing about the Mario movie and the Cast. I remember arlos Videos, dunkeys Videos. Videos from everyone. Here in the Forum and Other Forums. Just everywhere. Guess what, you were all wrong. Same will happen here. As long as Nintendo is heavily involved, Not alot will Go wrong. It will either be a good movie or a great movie but nothing lower than that.Just like most of the games are their own standalone story with shared elements that are loosely retrofitted in the timeline, the movie should be too.
That said, given the production team involved, it's going to suck either way, so honestly, I don't really care what they do.
Whats your Problem with children? I have a Child. Do you have a Problem with my Child?not OOT cause then we have to have a child cast as young link and endure that
Funny you should say that. The Mario Movie finally dropped on Netflix this week (at least it did here in Aus, ymmv in other countries) and I decided to try watch it last night. Couldn't make it more than 30 minutes in before I had to stop. I'm happy it was a commercial success but I don't think the haters were wrong in terms of Illumination's ability to deliver quality.I remember people saying the exact Same thing about the Mario movie and the Cast.
