Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.
BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.
I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
Nintendo has announced that they're working on a The Legend of Zelda live-action film adaptation, with Wes Ball set to direct.
The person they’ve picked to direct is so weird, he hasn’t done anything interesting or amazing. He gave us the Maze Runner films which were average or below, he’s doing the new Planet of the Apes film and he did a film called Phoenix Forgotten which was panned by everyone. That’s it. Nothing else.
Also Sony Pictures does not make the best decisions, the only thing I can think of recently I liked from them has been the Spiderman animated films
Bet you any money they’ll throw Tom Holland into it
...and because they will want to be hip and trendy, he will play Zelda instead of Link.
I think they’ll get Halle Bailey, Rachel Zegler or Jenna Ortega for Zelda
Because you know…Hollywood
Zelda will be saving link in this movie and zelda will be played by an African women.
False it’s 2023.
Zelda and Link will be the same person, as they* take on Gandalf*.
Dead wrong. You can't replace a female with a male. They will fuck up the casting in some way,but not like that. Now link.... that's another story.
@Foxtrot "Because you know…Hollywood"
You missed the opportunity to say "It's Hollywood, baby." :P
The funny thing is I was reading it and the writer is the guy who wrote the last two Jurassic World films, he did the Rise of Skywalker and Detective Pikachu so I wouldn't be surprised
Even the writer of this sounds pretty bad...
The spider verse are a mind boggling achievement. The tech is like beyond bleeding edge and the people putting it together are clearly the most hard-core fans ever.
Doing Zelda should be easier because it would make sense to do all the LOZ styles a la Spiderverse. So they have to find the most iconic Zelda and then go to town being as 'authentic' as possible to the source material.
I don't think they will have a problem because Nintendo is going to be working with them to see this through.
You never know, could be his big breakout movie. Peter Jackson didn’t have huge success until Lord of the Rings.
Hahaha ahh yeah Sony execs were going to make this adventure dark and gritty Gannon will be like you've never seen before anyway here's Tom Holland
Sony and Nintendo making a Zelda film together is an interesting combo.
I don't see how they cast Link and deal with him being silent. Mario kinda worked since it was an animation and Mario does speak. Link being a human-like with no cartoony art style will it something....
Link will suddenly be able to talk but they'll still likely have him mute in the next game.. Not that I care to play in a huge boring desert.
Probably! We can still hold out hope though, right? Best bet is to completely forget it's being made. Then be surprised at how awful (or great) it is when it finally comes out lol.
Probably, then again Mario and Detective Pikachu were good enough to be enjoyable I suppose.
With Nintendo being so protective of their IP, I see it more likely that they cancel it if its going too poorly rather than releasing something truly terrible
Yeah but apparently the director is the same as the Uncharted movie. Which was aiight, but the Uncharted movie was felt almost like a parody at times rather than taking itself a bit more seriously. I just really wanted this to be made by Ghibli, BoTW and Twilight Princess lend themselves so perfectly into the Ghibli aesthetic and story telling style.
Detective Pikachu was live action and that turned out decent, so who knows? Maybe it wont be terrible
Detective Pikachu was amazing. I'm setting my expectations high because everything I have seen lately has been of excellent quality. The Pokémon movies, Mario movie, and the Sonic films were excellent. So they have good movies to look to for inspiration.
Plus Miyamoto is producer like he was on the Mario movie so he's probably going to watch this closely
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
