Live-action? Oh no.

I don't know if I should be excited or scared 😳

From the director of Maze Runner, the screenwriter of The Rise of Skywalker and the producer of Mobius. I don't see what could possibly go wrong with this movie.

I hope we get some good Koji Kondo music out of this.

Would’ve preferred a Studio Ghibli animated film.

I was hyped until I saw that Avi "Compulsively Ruins Spider-Man Movies" Arad is producing. 😬

EDIT: Oh and it's Sony. And the director choice.... eeeeeeeehhh. Here's hoping for a pleasant surprise, I guess?

Arguably, whether this turns out decent or atrocious may depend, in part, on whether it’s a straight adaptation of the games (removes sensory elements that games and film don’t have in common, causing serious issues); or if it’s something that would fit better in a film, albeit taking place in Hyrule.

It may also depend on whether portions of the production team actively dislike the source material (cough cough Netflix Witcher cough cough)

Zelda has a such potential to fail on a full feature that I don’t keep my expectation that high.

Silent Hill is still the only movie I consider good, because the original medium had a huge amount of content that match full feature requirement.

Can't wait to see who they pick to play Zelda, the hero of the game!

I will laugh if they decide to cast Orlando Bloom as Link.

Oh no

I wonder if link will have any lines.

If they keep the story small enough, it could work. If they try to cram the last 3 decades or lore and plot and characters into 1 movie, it'll just fall apart

This can go one of two very different ways.

I'm personally hoping for a super dark, gritty movie that I know will never ever happen.

It's about time. Nintendo's been toying with the idea of a Zelda movie for years, so I'm glad to see that something may finally come of it. I'm really interested to see who they're going to cast for this.

Well, the franchise was nice while it lasted!

Maybe it's not that bad, the last Doom game was decent despite that awful Doom movie having existed.

Oh, please make it a trilogy! Past, Present, and Future! This is going to be absolutely amazing.

I hope they take inspiration from the Twilight Princess manga.

Finding actors for Link and Zelda, fine. But who on Earth could do Ganondorf justice? How do you translate the Gerudo to live-action film? Black actors with red wigs? Mixed-race actors with red wigs? Mixed-race actors with their natural hair, straightened and dyed red?

There are some lighter-skinned Gerudo in BotW/TotK. Would the actors all be pretty monotonous in look to give them a coherent race identity?

I'm Surprised it took them so long.

Oh, no!

Of couse they do. For how forgettable the Mario movie was, it basically printed money. If they want to get me hyped they could announce something in the spirit of Twilight Princess instead of a throw-away comedy. But this would make less money and therefore wont be made.
