Its going to take a lot of work to turn all that footage into pixel art.
And now they need a few years in the special effects department to apply the classical 8bit charm.
I just hope there’s as much dancing as Link did in the 90s
(to get that url I had to click on “copy link”)
I wonder if Link will speak or not.
I’d like it if every time he starts to speak Navi yells LISTEN!
ngl, I’d lose it if his only line is a well-placed “well, eXcUsE mE, PrInCeSs!”
EDIT: I see that I am far from the only person to make this joke. Please accept my apologies for my lack of originality. For penance I shall spend an hour walking among ReDeads but not battling them.
i would like to present to you the concept of parallel development. you were just as original as everyone else who has the same thought that developed into the same shape. it’s the brainworm version of carcinization
I really hope Link is going to break some pots.
Scene: storeroom, deep beneath Hyrule castle.
Link: bumps into a ceramic pot, knocking it to the floor, shattering everywhere. Mixed in with the shards of pottery are several rupies.
Zelda: look of shock at what Link did.
Link: looks at pot, scared, then slowly looks up to Zelda.
Zelda: her gaze changes to a mischievous ear-to-ear grin.
Scene: pottery breaking music montage - everything in the storeroom is laid to waste.
More Lindsey Stirling as Link
wait wait link gets really high and scene cut to a bunch of pottery breaking sounds
Wtf is this absolutely cursed image.
i dunno the dog looks high to me when you give him a beard
People seem to be confused about why they thought this is a good idea, but to me this is expected.
I don’t follow what Miyamoto does much, but based on what I heard (like Chris Pratt Mario…) I feel he’s a showoff who probably wants ANY live-action movie of a Nintendo IP because it’d be cool. Zelda is the best one to qualify, maybe Metroid or Xenoblade (both of which are way less popular). They even tried more realism back with Twilight Princess.
I actually expect it’ll be more or less like the Mario movie again, an unimpressive but solid success.
He already got that decades ago tho…
He (or anyone from the Japan branch, I think) didn’t have anything to do with the last one, so it didn’t matter. It’s only recently that he started getting interested.
I would love a Metroid film, but one that takes its cues from Moon where Samus is basically alone, but she has some kind of JARVIS-like companion with which to speak. Just big, abandoned spaces, punctuated by action set pieces.
This is so stupid. Why make this?
this is so stupid
Open to interpretation, you’re neither right or wrong I suppose. I don’t agree.
why make this
Because Nintendo are starting to do movies.
Uh, why? The art style is part of Zelda.
I was about to say she’s got way too many pixels.
I’m expecting a mediocre movie that’s an enjoyable watch, but ultimately forgettable. Same as the Mario movies.
I’m expecting Zelda will play just as large of a role in the film as Link.
Same as the Mario movies.
I assume you’re not including SMB93 in this, because NO ONE can forget that masterpiece.
Oh for fucks sake, they made Zelda a girl. Tired of this gender swapping woke shit. /s

Don’t worry. They already confirmed they’ll do reshoots with Chris Pratt as Zelda.
I just want Yoko Ono to play Navi, and yell HEY!!! LISTEN!!!
I know this is facetious, but the mental image of Yoko Ono trying to act in a movie is making me upset for no understandable reason. Is like my unconscious hates her, for no reason I know or understand…
Bjork could do it though, and her screams are way less annoying.
My subconscious will allow Bjork… Emotionally…
Her name is Link, I’ll have you know.
And the page is bugged. I keep clicking on the Link to like and subscribe but it does nothing.
Should’ve just hired studio ghibli to animate a beautiful and poignant anime adaptation. Might be okay. Likely gonna be garbage.
The Netflix one pice gives me hope but also that in itself is pretty cringy campy nonsense at the end of the day (but incredibly well done).
Just waiting for the line delivered in a fake English accent more or less to the tune of “you’re a legend… Zelda!”
That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.
No, he’s right. They really should have gone the animated route. Imagine studio Ghibli making a Zelda movie based off of a Link to the past. That would go so fucking hard
You must not have read very much.
I grew up on the Internet.
Uh, given the recent spate of … Nintendo movies… and fantasy shows… and the fact that Link is a silent protagonist (aside of basically grunts and exclamations of various emotional tones)…
I really don’t see any possible way this could be good.
Brought to you by the director of ‘Maze Runner’, which currently has ~66% critic and user review score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ugh, I just had a visceral reaction when you said “Maze Runner.”
I watched all three films back-to-back once, not out of interest or curiosity or commitment to the plot, no. It was out of masochism.
I knew that they were terrible movies all along, and yet I couldn’t stop watching because I knew I deserved the misery and self-loathing that it was causing me…
And it wasn’t even in a campy way that you could just laugh at and have a good time. They were just bad.
Now you are going to start a nerdy discussion whether Link really can’t talk, doesn’t want or like to talk or does indeed talk, even though not directly shown usually in the games.
There is plenty of reason to assume that he actually can talk fine, it was just omitted for convenience or immersion in the games. It was implied often by the dialogues thoughout various games.
Official mangas show him talking, dialogue options, or that e.g. Zelda learns Links name when asking him in OoT imply this as well.
Well EXCUUUUUUUSE ME! Princess…
☝️😮 <( M’boy )
I actually liked maze runner (the first one), and I don’t think the director was the problem(s) with it more than the story and a few of the actors were
But yeah no shot a Zelda movie is decent
You mean like the kid fron We Are the Millers who had freshly tweezed eyebrows in every scene of this supposedly post-apocalyptic survivalist future?
while I agree with you, I’m hoping they pull it off somehow.
some…how…
Somehow, good critic reviews returned
If Link doesn’t say “excuuuuuuuse me, princess” at least once, I will demand my money back.
ooh childhood cartoon flashbacks
I have been dreaming of a TLoZ movie since I was a child. However, as most video game adaptions, I expect this will be rather shitty. At least I try to. To keep the level of disappointment low.
As much as I want this to be good, I have a strong feeling it’s gonna be mid at best. Not a great director, screenwriters aren’t hitting, they have only released two actors names, and the producer is a mixed bag. I’m really hoping they can pull it out… but I’m definitely gonna keep my expectations low.
Of course it’s going to be mid, none of the Zelda games have anything other than a boilerplate storyline except for Majora’s mask. They’ll have to make shit up and that almost never goes well
Legitimately, why do you hope it’s good? Why do you even care? Even if you like the games, this is not part of that. It isn’t interactive. Honestly, I don’t see why it exists, except that certain people will give them their money for any piece of garbage that has an IP they’ve attached themselves to for some reason.
Because I want more things in my life that bring me joy? Seeing something I love from a new perspective sounds like a fun experience?
I’m not saying to not enjoy this, or other things. I’m just saying that people mindlessly consuming any slop that has an IP attached is how we ended up in this situation. There’s a lot fewer good and interesting things made, which actually have a hope of being good, because it’s so much safer to make slop with existing IP. Even if it’s bad (it almost always is, because they’re making it purely for profit, not because they care about the IP like you do), it still prints money.
I am very scared it will look like cosplay.
so, even worse than Wheel of Time stuff, then. I don’t really remember the costumes for that but I do remember they weren’t the main problem with the show, aside from being pristine. at least they weren’t low quality
is that show even still on? I don’t think I even made it through the second season because of how goddamn clean everything was. looked fake as shit
No, it was cancelled after the third season.
god that was such a disappointment
we could have had something so great
Well, guess what happens when you let amazon of all fucking companies produce a tv adaptation of an influential/cornerstone fantasy book series…
What sucks is they probably own the license now, so no one else can do a better job…
I think mid is the best we can hope for. The only way it comes out great is it they go weird with it and tell a story like Majora’s Mask. By all accounts it looks like we’re going to get a Breath of the Wild type story, which is safe and fine but as a film isn’t anything above mid.
I’m hoping they tell a weird story.
So Mario Movie 2.5 then in terms of quality.
I really hope Eiji Aonuma was consulted for this. But nah, Miyamoto will have his whole liver-spotted hand in the pie and the story will be a total afterthought. Another “point-and-oooooh-I-know-that-thing!” movie.
