If Link doesn’t say “excuuuuuuuse me, princess” at least once, I will demand my money back.
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.
You must not have read very much.
Anyone else feel like the time for this was 2008? Circa Twilight Princess? Fans were clamoring for a movie back then because the games hit peak “cinematic” around that time, TP directly references events of OoT, it feels like a continuity, a single story.
Now? They’ve done so much with the franchise that it’s become a paint color like Star Wars. Is there an appetite for it like there was 20 years ago?
There’s arguably a larger appetite now, the popularity of the Switch has brought the series to a massive new audience. I understand your point though, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were really the peak of the linear, story-driven epics. The newer games have moved away from that formula a bit. I suspect this first film (there will be more if it is well received) will tell a very classic Zelda story that references many core elements of the series (similar to the first Mario film).
