Zelda Movie Is Being Made In Close Collaboration With Miyamoto
As long as they have the line
"Well Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"
63We can only hope
6I'm more looking forward to "HIIIIIYAAAAA"
5MAH BOI.
1If it's illumination doing it, I'm sure it will.
1Came here to post that I would only be satisfied by an adaptation of this.
1
The fact that it is gonna be live action is what concerns me the most. I hope it’s live action in the style of the Netflix One Piece series and not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film.
36Well I hope it’s even weirder than the Super Mario Bros film
25I fucking LOVED Bob Hoskin's Super Mario Brothers, so me as well.

I'm still annoyed that they were making a live action Zelda series on Netflix about a decade ago, until word of it leaked and Nintendo had the whole project scrapped. I was really looking forward to that series. I hope this movie lives up to it.
10It’s gonna be in the style of Monty Python and the Holy Grail
7I'm only interested if John Cleese plays the role of Tingle.
5
Wait, it's live action? Oh dear...
6not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film
You take that back!!
5Kinda sick of the live action adaptations, the OP show is good but it also made more sense since there was already an animated version.

It better be a really unique movie, make it in the style of a Studio Ghibli film and not have it follow the standard movie structure, like an experimental film.
14Imo Ghibli is the only studio that could ever fully do the story justice.
9Will never happen even if Nintendo wanted to. Miyazaki is probably not interested to turn a videogame into a movie. And even if he was he wants full control and write the screenplay. Like he has done with every adaptation. That’s probably not something Nintendo wants. Since every adaptation he made is very different from the source material (except the source material he wrote)

It’s a live action movie :/
2Better yet, just edit princess mononoke and tweak the prince's blue tunic to match the BOTW tunic and give both the prince and princess blonde hair. Then add some Ganon theme music when they show the demons.
1Don't forget to dub over all the prince's lines with "Hah! Hyah! Huah!"

If it looks anything like this I'll be there at the first screening.

-1First thing I thought of as well - Unfortunately it's Netflix and we know better; it wont. It'll probably crash and burn like the recent Avatar adaptation
Edit: Foot in mouth moment lol. Not Netflix, but imo live-action = DOA for this

I think a series would work better in the scope of the story. Unless they movie is a 3 parter or something. One movie for a whole Zelda story seems too short
1
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the lore of the Legend of Zelda change from game to game based on whatever flavor of knight-saves-princess story framing best suits the gameplay progression? How is this going to be a unique movie? Why does it benefit from the Zelda branding other than to generate franchise hype?
11Guess you'll have to wait and see.
Using an existing IP is obviously beneficial because you can attach a lot of existing lore and characters that you know people like.
2
I hoped they would have used a studio like Studio Ghibli for a Zelda movie, but I'm okay with this too!
11Given how little story they were willing to put into the last two games they made I'm not sure what they're going to do with the runtime of a movie, and if I'm honest I think I'd rather just watch an orchestra play selected pieces from the series' soundtrack than whatever they're going to do here.
10"Hya! Hya! Hyy-ah!!" the WHOLE time
5Hey, don't spoil the plot!
2
Honestly: why? Miyamoto isn't that involved with Zelda since the N64 days. He also doesn't understand English well, so stuff will get lost in translation.
7Please let it include Spanish Ganondorf https://youtu.be/yNCgpaMlOcs
5Praise Cucui Ganon!

Instead of a movie, can we just get another game or two?
5Best we can do is a re-release of Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2.
4They release one every couple years. All we're missing are the portable spin-offs made by other companies.
2Best they can do is a remake of an old 2D game with terrible art style.
0I actually quite liked the Link's Awakening look.

We seem to be in some weird topsy-turvy world right now, where videogame movies/shows are suddenly watchable.
It's almost as if the first generation that grew up with them are now of filmmaking age, and replacing the ones that just just saw a bandwagon full of money.
3I dont like that theyre going the live action route but it would be cool to see hunter schaefer play zelda and sheik
3The movie will only be played on Nokia phones and any attempt to look at the movie on another type of device will be swiftly prosecuted.

It has to be in close collaboration with miyamoto so he doesn't mistake their licensed venture as pirated media and call in nukes to stop it from happening.
