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.

@beardalaxy Well, that the actress for zelda ain't a troon is already a good sign...

@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.

@beardalaxy
Zelda games are at their best when they are violent and frustrating, I hope they transition that into the movie, well

I also hope the faries are hiy, but I'm not holding my breath
@ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy It will be at least "decent" because Nintendo are gonna tard wrangle the studios, and it SHOWS in this casting choice

On the "bad" side, the Mario movie could have been so much better
@coolboymew @beardalaxy @ZRDR_DelRio
Here's a thought, Why don't big companies like Nintendo just build their own movie studios? No need for the Hollywood middle jews anymore.
@Jonny @beardalaxy @coolboymew

Any other company, it wild make sense to have a studio so do to save money, but this is Nintendo, they could absolutely afford to have a movie division.
Miyamoto could fart into a switch cartridge and they'd make a gorillion dollars.
@ZRDR_DelRio @Jonny @beardalaxy Looking at the release list it's mostly a helping studio it seems. They don't really have the manpower for whole movies right now it seems at least
@coolboymew @beardalaxy

My biggest gripe with that movie was the music. Why the fuck didn't they just remake the music from the game? The scene with take on me would have been so much better with actual Mario kart music!!!
@ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy That was more or less the problem with the movie. Half of it was "Hey, remember this?" for the entire movie, the other half was awkward western 3DCG cartoon movie trends, but not to an awful level, but they're still there. Your 80s song, muh strong princess (This personality should have been left to Daisy... What the Christ will they do with Daisy now?). It could've been plenty better
@coolboymew @beardalaxy
I kinda liked peach in the movie, but they absolutely should have just had daisy, you're right. She only exists now to have another character slot for smash and kart.

Koji Kondo should have been the composer but , then again, it was the frigging minions studio
@ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy To reiterate on the main problem, is that the references completely took over several parts of the movie. Meanwhile, the Sonic movies have plenty of these, but they don't take over the movie
@coolboymew @ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy
>(This personality should have been left to Daisy... What the Christ will they do with Daisy now?)
:this:

@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.

@coolboymew @ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy
> the Mario movie could have been so much better
Nintendo restrained illumination. I just wonder how it would compare. It would be nice to have some storyboard leaks to know.
@mangeurdenuage @ZRDR_DelRio @beardalaxy At that point Illumination was releasing nothing but garbage, it's probably the other way around
@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @beardalaxy

I wonder, when/if it does happen, will we be impressed, disappointed or some other 3rd thing?

What if daisy was originally in the movie and had an abortion?

@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

@beardalaxy the girl is stunning. that’s peak White genetics sculpted by God.

@bybonsonofphola yeah she looks very pretty! And the guy is perfect for link too, young and a little dorky looking.

@xianc78 tfw the last major zelda game where link is left handed was nearly 20 years ago :CirnoForReals:

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club
there can't be a live action with white people in it, I don't buy it

@idiot idk if this is actually from the movie or not, but link hasn't always been blonde either, it's alright

@beardalaxy I'm not expecting this movie to go well. I hope it succeeds, but I have particularly bad feeling about it.

@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.
