Would You Like to See a Proper Zelda Movie Made?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Nintendo green lighted a Zelda movie project? Is that something that even interest you? Should it happen? Should it be animated or not if it did? Zelda Informer's staff sounds off on the copious amount of topics that surround the giant question mark when conversing about Zelda as a movie.

It would be a silent movie. Since no one speaks and tingle is weird

[Lucretia]

exactly, not to mention the zelda stories never have any real depth and is normally a rehash of a previous zelda. ofcourse there are Sooome exceptions though.

but all in all a zelda movie would be pretty horrible lol

[linkratos]

Recent Zelda stories that aren't a rehash:

Skyward Sword
Wind Waker
Majora's Mask

I think they have some nice depth as well. Nothing good-movie-worthy though. I would say movie-worthy but there are some really terrible movies made. It's getting to the point where if I close my eyes I can't tell if a commercial is for a videogame or movie.

[wastedcells]

Think Nintendo learned its lesson with the Mario movie...

[Spenok]

Thats not true, everyone speaks, except for Link.

So if it was a PROPER movie, Link wouldn't talk. And Myamoto would be behind it EVERY step of the way.

[jambola123]

well if made by the right people then ya it would be great

[MurDocINC]

Only if Peter Jackson does it.

[Spenok]

THIS!

[WeskerChildReborned]

Idk, live actions don't usually live up to my expectations. Unless they got a really good director and a cast that is perfect, then idk.

[TripC50]

No. Stay golden

[cero55]

LISTEN!!!!!!!!
and
MASTER i estimate you have a 30% chance of success.
man i love zelda but idk about a film

[TruthbeTold]

Is it even possible to make a 'Proper' Zelda movie? Probably best to just leave it alone. Give me a more realistic looking Zelda game on Wii U, and I'll be just fine. :D

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Link doesn't talk besides the occasional grunt and scream.

[Lucretia]

I would watch it anyway....just from the screaming, grunting, slamming Pots over the sides of buildings, it would make for a great comedy

[CrimsonessCross]

Those pots man, those freaking pots!!! They're in the bushes! -scream- -grunt-
Zelda Horror Story, coming soon to no such theater near you.

[nerdkiller]

if it takes it self serious then yeah

[greenpowerz]

No

It's too Japanese for Hollywood. Talking vegetables and the sort isn't even fit for animated Disney movies.

A series thought to originate from western mythology japanese twists/styles became so infused western film conversions became impossible.

The movie would have to be serious not to flop, only depending gamer fans would be a mistake. It would have to be asserious as the space elves of startrek(Vulcans) or Lord Of The Rings. Anything close to the games would flop hard.

[Fyflin]

It could work, I'd love to see Hyrule rendered in the same way as say, something like Pixar's Brave. But given the choice over a movie with those graphics or a game, I'd take the game in a heartbeat.

It will be interesting when Nintendo do decide to add voice acting to Zelda (if they ever do of course, although it does seem inevitable eventually). People were horrified about the idea of Mario speaking prior to Mario 64 but we all got used to it pretty quickly.

[MadMen]

Id like to see a proper Zelda game made, hasnt been a proper one since the SNES and N64

[GameLord08]

We'd probably end up with Zac Efron as Link and either Reese Witherspoon or Emma Stone as Zelda, the notion of which alone is frightful enough.

[josephayal]

sounds great BUT
Nintendo has the legal remedy to pursue any and all unauthorized uses of its licenses including fan-fic, cosplay ect.... nintendo will never agree to make a ZELDA film, NEVER

[Benjamminkno]

I have a screenplay, and it's everything you could ever want in a Zelda movie. Tim Curry plays Ganon. I originally had Heath Ledger as Link, but now that's out the door...

[claud3]

Just not right. As one says

Leave it GOLDEN

[Qrphe]

NOPE, sky wizard will never let this happen thankfully

[gamerben]

No. Turning a videogame into a movie is absurd no matter what.

It's just a downgrade. It's like turning a movie into a frickin book and saying it's just as good.

[RFornillos4]

a proper zelda movie would have to be one that don't go the Super Mario Bros. way... come to think of it, most of the video games-to-movie transitions have been mediocre, if not bad/worse (some became blockbuster hits of course, but failed their fanbase).

i just hope the MGS, GOW and Assassin's Creed movie would live up to everyone's expectations.

[wastedcells]

Zelda movie would be awesome on paper but probably won't work on the screen. Game is just too good. Cant recreate that feeling you get from playing a game like this in a movie.

[AJBACK2FRAG]

Great idea! Please God. Never let them do that.

[Benjamminkno]

Lee Lee Sobieski as Zelda.

[Getowned]

Maybe if it was an animated movie, it could work. I don't really see it as a live action movie.
