I hope they go that route
I mentioned this in another thread about this: How Nintendo has characters in game refer to Link and how Link is portrayed in media outside the games, it seems very much like the personality of that cartoon version is the canon personality of Link.
Why not a studio Ghibli collab ಠ︵ಠ
That would have been amazing to see.
Chris Pratt as Gannondorf, Tom Holland as Link, and Danny DeVito as Navi. It'll be alright.
Danny DeVito as Navi
Samuel L. Jackson.
"Hey, listen, motherfucker!"
Directed by Michael Bay
So, the bomb bag is the first item, that Link gets
Chris Pratt as fired. I do like Tom Holland as link though.
Danny DeVito has to be pig Ganon.

Is… is Link going to be a voiced role?
"HYET HEH HYAAAA"
I hope so. Another masterpiece like dragon ball evolution would be amazing

Hyrule Kingdom, here we go.
Or they make it like Nicholas Cage's character in the Willy's Wonderland, who's essentially just an invincible player character other characters react to

The director of the fucking Maze Runner movies?
Really?
Not only that, but also the producer who forced Sam Raimi to include Venom in Spider-Man 3, and who is responsible for all those Sony/Marvel movies (including Morbius).

who has produced many mega hit films.
Mega. Hit. Films. Who cares that he has a history of ignoring source material, angering fans, ruining IP? They're mega hits.

This is going to be a disaster.
Yeah. My first thought was who the fuck would want to play Link? Then I imagined Tom Holland as Link. This is going to be so bad. This is Masters of the Universe for a new generation.

Fingers crossed for Owen Wilson to be Link
Uhhh... I'm not so certain that this is something that will go over well as a live action movie. ESPECIALLY if they plan on having Link appear in it. Link is a silent protagonist primarily because it allows the player to easily project themselves into the position of the character. Meaning that every individual fan has their own specific idea of how link "should be." Any deviation from that and... Well we know how gamers can be. If you don't put Link in it and focus on side characters in a plot that happens in the Legend of Zelda setting, you have a chance for something more successful as a spin-off. You'll still have people on the side shouting "Why didn't they put link in it?" But if the movie is written and produced well, then isn't much of an issue.
But the Mario movie was a success so I'm not overly worried about it and I'm hopeful.
They should just piss everyone off universally and give him like a Gilbert Gottfried voice.
Only way I can see it working is in the princess bride style. That way we understand it’s the narrator telling the story and so the tone/voice not matching makes sense
narrator telling the story
Well it is the Legend of Zelda, so I could see that working really well
If the movie opens with a fairy declaring, "Hey! Listen!" I will laugh until I throw up.
lol could they really get away with making a Zelda movie without Link??
I guess I could see it. Like maybe it's literally a "legend" of Zelda, where the hero is a figure of myth and the story actually centers around other characters many years later. Sorta like Wind Waker, I'm realizing as I'm writing this. Actually, using the Wind Waker trope of making the main character a reincarnation of Link might give them the wiggle room to create a Link with some unique personality.
Link doesn't really have a character. He's just a sword arm.
Arad productions has produced fine films such as venom and the uncharted movie. Along with the spider verse movies. What a range.
Also, Sony pictures is distributing the film, funnily enough, lol.

I can't think of a single way this will not suck. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mario movie but that was animated
They are only teasing. We won’t hear anything for a couple years and then it will re-emerge as an animated series for little kids.
I'm calling it now: as soon as some casting is announced or stills shown there's going to be a massive shriek from chuds over the 1-2 PoC actors portraying Hylians and they'll pretend they're actually just mad because lore says Hylians are white or some bullshit
Even though there are multiple examples of dark-skinned Hylians across multiple games
nononononononononononononono
I wonder how accurate to the source material it will be. https://youtu.be/lDPRwLlpdTU?si=CqByY5BnQMBycLIx
Guys... Check the date. It's Apri~ Oh wait. This is real? Ha ha ha! Let's see what unfolds!
It ain't animated I'm not interested
Waits patiently for windwaker reboot/re-release.
Since Mario was played by the actress who did Linda Belcher, maybe Link should be played by H. Jon Benjamin
