Extremely good casting. I have no idea who these actors are. It won't be like hearing Mario thinking "oh that's Chris Pratt." The actors will BE Zelda and Link.
Now we just hope that the movie itself is good, which I'm still not holding my breath for. With Tears of the Kingdom, I am unsure that Nintendo knows why people like Zelda specifically, versus why they might like an open world sandbox game with a neat mechanic. I hope the movie has the quintessential Zelda vibes to it without devolving into nostalgia baiting.
@ZRDR_DelRio i don't think that if it's bad it will be a "so good it's bad" movie. i think it will be a movie that had a chance but was deeply flawed because of some weird nintendo mandate that the movie had to be "fun" or some shit like that.
@coolboymew @ZRDR_DelRio nintendo's "tard wrangling" sometimes results in a worse product though. i'd argue it does frequently, even in really good games. that's what i'm worried about.
@beardalaxy well, Zelda isn't a redhead like in the OG version, but I suppose nothing some dye can't fix here
@tomie ermmm that's LINKLE duhhh
For real though it would be cool to have redheaded zelda, I think she's also a redhead in one of the Gameboy games? But they'll definitely go with her more recognizable blonde hair. They'll probably do that for link too, the actor's hair is really dark unless we want to go with cartoon link xD
@bybonsonofphola yeah she looks very pretty! And the guy is perfect for link too, young and a little dorky looking.
@beardalaxy Benjamin Evan Ainsworth better be left-handed.
@xianc78 tfw the last major zelda game where link is left handed was nearly 20 years ago
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club
there can't be a live action with white people in it, I don't buy it
@AndrewFork what if ganondorf is a white guy painted green
@idiot idk if this is actually from the movie or not, but link hasn't always been blonde either, it's alright
@TrueMasterCole they really should have gone with something close to a ghibli film for Zelda instead, it would have been waaaay more impactful. It wouldn't have made as much money, though. Crossing my fingers it is good but not holding my breath. I'm a massive Zelda fan and the franchise just hasn't been doing it for me lately. It won't be good enough if it's just decent, this thing has to rock my socks off otherwise I can't justify its existence.
@beardalaxy Well, that the actress for zelda ain't a troon is already a good sign...
