The Legend of Zelda Live Action Movie Will Release In 2027-03-26

I really wish people would quit doing this. Not every IP needs to exist in all forms of media and video games rarely make for good movies.

True but I have to admit... I love the damn Mario Movie. It's such a fun brainless ride.
- I loved the Mario movie too (a very cursed phrase in other days huh?) but IMO Zelda should have taken the animation path too... Heck, even the anime format would fit (something similar to Castlevania anime).
  
  I have always found it funny that my gf does not like anime, but she is a Zelda fan (literally is the only franchise she plays) and you can quickly catch all the quirks and gags that you get from the Zelda games that are just anime-like.
Sure, but if you only look at recent history, Super Mario Bros, Sonic 1/2/3 & Detective Pikachu all did great. Sure there are bad ones that came out recently too, but you always assume (even if incorrect) you'll make a good one.

Ugh

Pretty hesitant about this one. Mario at least had a precedent of entertaining if not high quality adaptations. Zelda has, what, the cartoon with obnoxious Link and the CDI games?

Not saying those aren't entertaining in their own right but good golly would I not like to see a modern interpretation of those particular interpretations.

Can't wait for two painful hours of "well excuuuuse me, princess"

Nintendo should’ve just hired a big hitter animation studio to make this. Live action is probably gonna end up with Japanese pop idols in shitty wigs and nylon costumes.

I will be 41 when this comes out. I want to see it.

I know this is copium but if they felt the need to make a live action Zelda movie, maybe the next game be less colorful like the last 3 mainline games (SS, BotW, Totw).

Edit: changed anime inspired to colorful

I'm really hoping for something more like Twilight princess

Starring Danny Devito as Navi

Awe, I was hoping he would get cast as Tingle. Maybe Charlie Day could repurpose Green Man, instead.

Kooloo-Limpah!!
this would be an upgrade to the baseline expectation

Can't wait to see Chris Pratt dressed up like a sword-bearing twink, assuming this will be like Mario

I'm imagining [Jay Baruchel].(https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0059431/).
Chris Pratt dresses up like link and zelda and Ganon. Chris Pratt will play all the characters in the upcoming zelda movie.
- Except the ones played by Jack Black.

If they don't call back to some of the '89 cartoon, I'm not interested.

Honestly, this is the first line that came to mind as soon as I saw the announcement.

I hope it’s good so that we can be closer to getting a Star Fox or Metroid movie.

Keep in mind Sony are the producers…
- What, the Marvel movies dont inspire confidence or something? Have you not Morbed this week?
- Well shit

Fuck this movie. Hope no one sees it.

I'm sorry you have so many people of low standards commenting they will see it without confirming the existence of Twink Link prior. That must be annoying.
- Eh. Not that annoying to be honest. What is annoying is anytime Nintendo goes out of their way to cancel something be emulators, movies or songs people rage for a minute and then go back to sucking Nintendo's dick non stop.
Fuck any Zelda movie. Totally goes against the spirit of the franchise and Miyamoto’s vision. We don’t need a Zelda movie.
- My brother in christ Miyamoto is producing the movie.
I'm gonna see it.
- On Jellyfin
I'm gonna see it.
I’m gonna see it.
I will also probably see it.

Oh no

I hope they cast Sam Altman as Link
