As long as they have the line

"Well Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

We can only hope

[–] Son_of_dad 5 points 6 months ago

I'm more looking forward to "HIIIIIYAAAAA"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

If it's illumination doing it, I'm sure it will.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Came here to post that I would only be satisfied by an adaptation of this.

[–] jaaake 36 points 6 months ago (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well I hope it’s even weirder than the Super Mario Bros film

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I fucking LOVED Bob Hoskin's Super Mario Brothers, so me as well.

[–] cobysev 9 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s gonna be in the style of Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[–] owenfromcanada 5 points 6 months ago

I'm only interested if John Cleese plays the role of Tingle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Wait, it's live action? Oh dear...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film

You take that back!!

[–] Shadowedcross 1 points 6 months ago

Kinda sick of the live action adaptations, the OP show is good but it also made more sense since there was already an animated version.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imo Ghibli is the only studio that could ever fully do the story justice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Will 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)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Sadly, I entirely agree.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Alright, let's get Hidetaka Miyazaki to do it instead

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s a live action movie :/

[–] EnderMB 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] jacksilver 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Better 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.

[–] FooBarrington 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Don't forget to dub over all the prince's lines with "Hah! Hyah! Huah!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Oh god. Who are they going to get to do the English voice... Probably some movie actor just for the butts in seats factor

[–] drislands 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would instantly buy a ticket if they got ProZD to do it.

[–] swan 3 points 6 months ago

You’ll get Chris Pratt and you’ll like it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It'll be Chris Pratt. He's so cool.

[–] Evotech 2 points 6 months ago

Guess 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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I hoped they would have used a studio like Studio Ghibli for a Zelda movie, but I'm okay with this too!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Given 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.

[–] BleatingZombie 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"Hya! Hya! Hyy-ah!!" the WHOLE time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Hey, don't spoil the plot!

[–] woelkchen 7 points 6 months ago

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.

Praise Cucui Ganon!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Instead of a movie, can we just get another game or two?

[–] Tikiporch 4 points 6 months ago

Best we can do is a re-release of Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Best they can do is a remake of an old 2D game with terrible art style.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I actually quite liked the Link's Awakening look.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I dont like that theyre going the live action route but it would be cool to see hunter schaefer play zelda and sheik

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

The 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Nintendo af

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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.
