“well, excuuuuuuuse me princess!”
I hope they go that route
I mentioned this in another thread about this: How Nintendo has characters in game refer to Link and how Link is portrayed in media outside the games, it seems very much like the personality of that cartoon version is the canon personality of Link.
Why not a studio Ghibli collab ಠ︵ಠ
That would have been amazing to see.
Chris Pratt as Gannondorf, Tom Holland as Link, and Danny DeVito as Navi. It’ll be alright.
Jack Black as Ganon singing about his love for Zelda
Danny DeVito as Navi
Samuel L. Jackson.
“Hey, listen, motherfucker!”
Directed by Michael Bay
So, the bomb bag is the first item, that Link gets
Chris Pratt as fired. I do like Tom Holland as link though.
Danny DeVito has to be pig Ganon.
Danny DeVito as Link.
(I’ll show myself out.)
You come back right now and tell me more. I’m listening.
Danny DeVito as those moblins from Skyward Sword. SFX to 10 feet tall.
Make it pg13 and that’s a winner.
We need a scene where DeVito, as Navi, sings about the toll that trolls charge.
Is… is Link going to be a voiced role?
“HYET HEH HYAAAA”
I hope so. Another masterpiece like dragon ball evolution would be amazing
Give it to Justin chatwin again…
Or they make it like Nicholas Cage’s character in the Willy’s Wonderland, who’s essentially just an invincible player character other characters react to
Hey, I didn’t know about that movie. They ripped off FNAF before the FNAF movie came out!
Hyrule Kingdom, here we go.
Chris Pratt, of course

If link says even a word the whole thing will be ruined
Well, excuse me princess.
Link talks. The fan theory that he’s mute is unsupportable. Too many instances of him conveying complex information to people he just met (and who wouldn’t know his gesture language). You can try to explain it away, but it will quickly get more complicated than assuming he talks.
Hear me out, sign language
Those exchanges usually involve link gesturing with his hands when he’s explicitly communicating with someone else
Is this sign language universally known in Hyrule? Why don’t we see anyone else using it?
That seems a bigger leap than just assuming he talks.
This is going to be a disaster.
Yeah. My first thought was who the fuck would want to play Link? Then I imagined Tom Holland as Link. This is going to be so bad. This is Masters of the Universe for a new generation.
I didn’t see live action and I’m like why would Tom Holland need to do the voice? Yeah … I thought they were doing well with the Mario Movie …
This is going to be so bad. This is Masters of the Universe for a new generation.
You’ve contradicted yourself. MotU with Dolph Lundgren was amazing. Was it super accurate to the show, nah, but it was a cool story and Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella made it a blast.
I already have metric tons of popcorn ready. I’m gonna watch every minute of this trainwreck.
The director of the fucking Maze Runner movies?
Really?
Not only that, but also the producer who forced Sam Raimi to include Venom in Spider-Man 3, and who is responsible for all those Sony/Marvel movies (including Morbius).
😦
Maybe it’ll be so absurdly terrible that it comes all the way back around to incredible?
Just like Morbius
That’s so impossible to pull off intentionally. It either happens or it doesn’t.
Isnt he just the producer for that and all the spider man movies including spiderverses?
Spider-Man 3 is the best Spider-Man movie and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
who has produced many mega hit films.
Mega. Hit. Films. Who cares that he has a history of ignoring source material, angering fans, ruining IP? They’re mega hits.
At first I confused Chris Ball and Uwe Boll. So when I realized that Chris Ball was the dude who did Maze Runner, rather than the dude responsible for almost every bad video game adaptation that’s ever been made, I felt a bit relieved. I’m just going to let that feeling carry me for a bit and hope for the best.
“Gee, it sure is BORING around here!”
My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for.
Your Majesty, the kingdom is under attack!
…piece, glancing at Zelda knowingly…
Thank you, unknown Russian animation studio, for being the progenitor of a million memes.

Fingers crossed for Owen Wilson to be Link

“Wow.”
This made me laugh out loud.
Uhhh… I’m not so certain that this is something that will go over well as a live action movie. ESPECIALLY if they plan on having Link appear in it. Link is a silent protagonist primarily because it allows the player to easily project themselves into the position of the character. Meaning that every individual fan has their own specific idea of how link “should be.” Any deviation from that and… Well we know how gamers can be. If you don’t put Link in it and focus on side characters in a plot that happens in the Legend of Zelda setting, you have a chance for something more successful as a spin-off. You’ll still have people on the side shouting “Why didn’t they put link in it?” But if the movie is written and produced well, then isn’t much of an issue.
But the Mario movie was a success so I’m not overly worried about it and I’m hopeful.
Does he actually say it that much in that series? My goodness.
They should just piss everyone off universally and give him like a Gilbert Gottfried voice.
Only way I can see it working is in the princess bride style. That way we understand it’s the narrator telling the story and so the tone/voice not matching makes sense
narrator telling the story
Well it is the Legend of Zelda, so I could see that working really well
If the movie opens with a fairy declaring, “Hey! Listen!” I will laugh until I throw up.
Link doesn’t really have a character. He’s just a sword arm.
lol could they really get away with making a Zelda movie without Link??
I guess I could see it. Like maybe it’s literally a “legend” of Zelda, where the hero is a figure of myth and the story actually centers around other characters many years later. Sorta like Wind Waker, I’m realizing as I’m writing this. Actually, using the Wind Waker trope of making the main character a reincarnation of Link might give them the wiggle room to create a Link with some unique personality.
I’m calling it now: as soon as some casting is announced or stills shown there’s going to be a massive shriek from chuds over the 1-2 PoC actors portraying Hylians and they’ll pretend they’re actually just mad because lore says Hylians are white or some bullshit
Even though there are multiple examples of dark-skinned Hylians across multiple games
I can’t think of a single way this will not suck. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mario movie but that was animated
Arad productions has produced fine films such as venom and the uncharted movie. Along with the spider verse movies. What a range.
Also, Sony pictures is distributing the film, funnily enough, lol.
I had a hard enough time just clicking this link and remaining optimistic that this project wouldn’t be embarrassing and uh, this just killed that feeling. Toss it in the video game movie pile along with Prince of Persia and Assassin’s Creed…
They are only teasing. We won’t hear anything for a couple years and then it will re-emerge as an animated series for little kids.
