Nintendo is adapting another major franchise into a film.
I don’t know if I should be excited or scared 😳
I would be scared but after Super Mario surprised me so much with how amazing it was, I’m willing to at least give it the benefit of the doubt.
Detective Pikachu and Mario were both great.
One piece has also been a nice surprise.
Cautiously hopeful I think is the best we can muster.
Live-action? Oh no.

I’m so glad I didn’t see this when it was first made, I would have been pretty upset it turned out to be an April fools prank like that time they claimed NIN and Rammstein were making a super group together. Damn them all
I mean EVERYTHING looked great in that trailer except Ganondorfs fucking hair and beard. That’s what gave it away for me :/
I was expecting to be Rick Rolled. Had forgotten about this trailer.
From the director of Maze Runner, the screenwriter of The Rise of Skywalker and the producer of Mobius. I don’t see what could possibly go wrong with this movie.
“Hopefully the foods better in this joint”
It’s Zorldo time?
I hope we get some good Koji Kondo music out of this.
I thought the Mario movie had a 10/10 soundtrack, so if they can just do the same thing but for Zelda music, I will be thrilled.
I was hyped until I saw that Avi “Compulsively Ruins Spider-Man Movies” Arad is producing. 😬
EDIT: Oh and it’s Sony. And the director choice… eeeeeeeehhh. Here’s hoping for a pleasant surprise, I guess?
He has some good movies under his belt. Into the Spider Verse was good. And he did the Iron Man movie.
That’s fair. He also did the first couple Raimi Spider-Man flicks and the '97 X-Men cartoon. So he has worked on some solid projects. But looking through his IMDB credits is mostly not inspiring. He’s produced most of the worst superhero movies ever made and few of the best. lol
Would’ve preferred a Studio Ghibli animated film.
Isn’t he retired… again… for like the 5th time?
Ghibli can still make films without Miyazaki directing. When’s the last time Walt Disney worked on a film?
It can but it won’t until he is dead. He has a reputation that he is impossible to work with. He somehow cannot find a successor in decades. The people working at Ghibli started their own company: Studio Ponac because they knew they would never be good enough to succeed in his eyes.
I highly recommend the videos: Never Ending Man, and the TV documentary “10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki” if you want to learn more.
Miyazaki’s next movie, “the boy and the heron” comes out about two weeks from now. That man will never retire
Guess he just kept announcing it. You’re right
Edit: seventh time depending on who is asking lol https://itainews.com/archives/1783936.html
Arguably, whether this turns out decent or atrocious may depend, in part, on whether it’s a straight adaptation of the games (removes sensory elements that games and film don’t have in common, causing serious issues); or if it’s something that would fit better in a film, albeit taking place in Hyrule.
It may also depend on whether portions of the production team actively dislike the source material (cough cough Netflix Witcher cough cough)
Zelda has a such potential to fail on a full feature that I don’t keep my expectation that high.
Silent Hill is still the only movie I consider good, because the original medium had a huge amount of content that match full feature requirement.
The “Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess!” Version of link?
I will laugh if they decide to cast Orlando Bloom as Link.
Nah man it’s going to be Orlando Jones
HE’S SO COOL!!!

Oh no
Can’t wait to see who they pick to play Zelda, the hero of the game!
Chris Pratt

Well excuse me princess but we already have an absolute classic on the cdi
If they keep the story small enough, it could work. If they try to cram the last 3 decades or lore and plot and characters into 1 movie, it’ll just fall apart
This can go one of two very different ways.
I’m personally hoping for a super dark, gritty movie that I know will never ever happen.
I’m pretty sick of the 90s+ edgification of old IPs, but even I would be very interested to see the attempt.
Although a lot of modern Zelda fans are kids, so they need to appeal to them first, with all their latent purchasing power 🤩 just about to start getting jobs and buying their own consoles
Honestly, I think I just want to see Majora’s Mask.
Ohhh, that would be good
