If they made it out of Ocarina of Time or Windwaker I would watch it. I'm not exceedingly interested in the stories of the others.

Maybe Majora's Mask.

windwaker is too monotonous to be a movie. i kinda have in my head the ocarina of time as a movie tho

89% of movies based on video games are not successful.

What the Hell are the exceptions? Every single one of them sucked donkey dick.

dont butcher a quality game like they did with the mario TV series (ive never been able to look at a mario game in the same way since....)

 

[miscelaneous]

I would not like to see a Zelda movie because it would probably kill a piece of my childhood...

 

[HT_Black]

Crappy game makes worse movie. In other words, no.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

My initial reaction is to say 'No'. However I suppose it could work if done properly, and by 'properly', I mean if Miyamoto himself were directly and heavily involved in the production.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I never really ever played the games at all, so a movie explaining to me in a wierd since what the entire fanchise was about would be welcomed by me. Though, I know it would end up killing the entire franchise because let's face it; video games and movies don't mix. They just don't.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

No because in Zelda games, YOU are Link hence his name Link and link between the game and the player. Besides look what happened to Mario.

Well, I wouldn't hold out hope, but were it to appear, I think it should utilize Ocarina Of Time and Majoras Mask, I think that those two taken together have the best story. Don't just make it an actioner, keep it under 3 hours, stick to the story, don't cast popular actors just for the sake of it, DO NOT ADD ANY NEW CHARACTERS, and no original stories by anyone except the people who wrote the games.

As for directors, preferably someone Japanese and reasonably independent. Hell, you could make it animated and get Studio Ghibli onboard, or you could get a really good Japanese director, like Takeshi Kitano. If only Akira Kurowasara was still alive...

As for stars, someone reasonably elfish looking for Link. Can't think of anyone off the top of my head, but I'll just say that under NO circumstances should Elijah Wood be involved.

Also, if Hollywood decides to bastardize it like they have countless other things, there will be car bombs.

Still, it's not going to turn out well, I just know it. Assuming it does happen.

I agree with all of this. xD

 

[sokka14]

if they could make a good one. but it would inevitably be a shitty adolescent firework festival with appalling actors, cliched script and story.

also, i don't see exactly how Zelda would work as a film. like 3 hours long of dungeon puzzles and acquiring grappling hooks from deserts etc, then every so often it cuts to ganondorf, who just sits in a tower with zelda doing an evil laugh.

Don't think Akira Kurowasara would be interested in creating a Zelda film(if he was still alive), however on the off chance he would it really would be amazing. I reckon he could make something enjoyable out of it.

 

[mexicola]

No.

Well there's not much else to add, just... no.

 

[Snarky Username]

I love Zelda, and that's why I would hate anyone with the balls to create a Zelda film. Zelda is meant to be an interactive thing. The storyline has always taken a backseat to puzzle solving. I just can't see how it could possibly ever translate to a good movie.

As for directors, preferably someone Japanese and reasonably independent.

What if it was a directive, collaborative effort by the people who produced the plot of OoT and Majora's Mask? The key there though would be to keep Shegiru Miyamoto as far away from it as possible. Better yet, ship him off to a country where bounding somebody up and throwing them in a cell for a few months is legal. And let's also throw in the director to the Super Mario Bros. movie in a cell with him as well, just to be extra careful.

that is alot of precaution ^_^u i am sure that if someone put that much effort into the movie it would be amazing

No, I disliked Zelda in the first place.
