Not to mention Zelda

@Dirty Bit
Well the Goddess screwed them both over.

Purah: That’s just a stupid boulder!
Link: It’s not just a boulder, it’s a rock! A big, beautiful, old rock, oh the Zonai use to ride these babies for miles!

It’s kinda funny, but I didn’t have a problem with Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender” despite what everyone said about it.

A year or three before that, we got a good one.

“Legend of Link” by Obsession Studios.

I remember back in 2008 seeing a trailer for a live action Zelda movie which was an April Fools Days joke but my god did it just make us all wish it was real.
Here’s a “Link” to the video.

That’s fair. Nevertheless, we’ve come so far with live-action adaptations of certain video game and anime titles (A:TLA doesn’t count, but Netflix did good, if the trailer is anything to go by)

In their misguided brains, better to let Illumination less-blatantly misinterpret the characters than to risk a repeat of the Bob Hoskins Mario movie

Either or would work wonders

Naa Dwayne.

If anything, I was hoping for a live-action movie. Back then, I imagined Vin Diesel as Ganondorf for a giggle.

I would say zelda probably would translate better to live action than mario wood.
I mean, it’s not exactly a super serious franchise, but it’s not exactly as cartoon as Mario is.
I also have the opinion that no live action adaptation is bad just because itid1878 s live action.
another thing just like Mario, This is not a studio buying movie rights with no input from nintendo

Alot of people are already badmouthing the movie for being live-action (hey, it worked for Sonic) yet we hardly know anything about it.

I even saw a guy say it should be animated and by Illumination, which is funny after all the “Illumination” hate the Mario movie got when it was first announced.

@Dr_Osaka
Ain’t that the truth.

That commercial was ahead of its time

Wasn’t the case for me upon the midnight release back in May

This is accurate.

In “Tears of the Kingdom”, there’s a difference for players between gleefully tormenting a Korok out in the wilderness…and feeling heartbroken at Korok Forest being all still and dark after being infected by Gloom Hands within the Great Deku Tree’s belly.

@Emerald Tanuki
The Legend of Zelda franchise does make sense in live action the same way Lord of the Rings does, there are a lot of human characters as suppose to creatures and the world looks very similar to our world, really all it takes is a good director and team behind production to make it work.

@Eurvos Morgenbrise
I’m guessing it may at least be based on the original NES story with some elements from other installments to give it that authentic feel like adding in races such as Gorons, Zoras, Gerudo, Ritos, Koroks and so on.

But would it be an adaptation of a game? Possibly a mix of two or more? Or an original story, wholesale?

I bet for the upcoming “Zelda” movie, they’ll combine elements from multiple games to tell a story, like “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” did.

If I made Link talk, the last thing he would say in “Breath of the Wild” before his near-death experience (from before being put in the Shrine of Resurrection) would’ve been something sweet like “I never saw you as a failure” to Zelda.

I can’t imagine why they’d make it live action.
