Oh yea? Well what if Tarantino directed it!

I want a traditional zelda game with dungeons and without a shitty durability system not this shit.

Mario movie was surprisingly not crap, so….giving it a go

There is a world of difference between animated adaption and live-action.

Tru, but with quality cgi and effects....it could be good? I am willing to give it a chance...well until the trailer. If the trailer sucks then all bets are off. But look at what 8?6? Years ago and the sonic movie. Trailer got HAMMERED they fixed it and the movie was...decent/good.

Plus this is one of Nintendo's premier IP'S you know they are going to try to not fuck it up.

One of the very few times a studio listened to the audience and it payed off.

They went with a subtle change, instead of a complete overhaul. It worked out.

I mean the Mario movie wasn't anything, it was a generic movie with "Mario" elements. It was "Borderlands, the Movie" but themed with mario. It was Hotel Transylvania but, "Mario" themed. You could have put any other content in that movie and it would have been entirely forgettable.

It doesn't help that I find that most all of the actors in the movie enjoy the sound of their own voices and the smell of their own farts more-so than actually playing the role they were paid to play.



Hard to be crap if you aren't anything but a "Talent Showcase".

In a vacuum - the mario movie was low-mid, truth.

In a "video game" light, it was easy 7+

Add in MARIO and your at least 7/8+

In its parts, its stupid... Jack Black and the stupid peaches thing makes it a zero from hero yes.

But it is what it is - If the Zelda movie turns out at least on-par with what we got from Mario, then it will be a fun trip for the kids and an enjoyable member-berries for the adults.

Now if only they give us a start to the movie how they started the show "Looking good princess, defiantly from this angle!"

Other than some basic characters, what's the story of Mario?

Zelda is very narrative driven. Very very easy to fuck up.

it depends on the zelda. some zeldas the whole story can go on a note card.

almost all the rest could go on an IMDB synopsys of a couple paragraphs.

it depends on which link, which zelda, which setting, and then what arc to do in those. Personally i kind of feel like ocarina of t ime does one of the best jobs (storywise) of showing a start with a character who plunges into a world they didn't know, and then master some things to unravel some mysteries and then delve into them to save the day. maybe wind waker.

a lot of zeldas arn't so hot for heroes journey or "lets explore this new world with the main character" as well.

though i think it would be quite easy to adapt any of the frame work of any of the worlds, and slap some characters, discovery, ups and downs and have a cool story.

BUT...i can almost promise you that no american film studio is going to make a story ab out one white dude having a heroes journey. just like in the mario movie where they had to have mario tagged along by the princess to show him up here and there, a toad, a monkey, and a wider cast, they will put it in. It's a shame too because the story of one young man on a journey , gaining confidence and facing down evil is one of the most timeless stories...which i guess post modern fucks are trying to snuff out so you buy next product and eat the boogs.

That too
