Damn, that movie is going to be awful.
Based on these images?
Based on it being a live action movie of a video game, which historically never do very well, and are never written very well, and the fact that the 2 characters in these images are wearing outfits from different generations of games?
I would say it’s a good bet the movie won’t be great.
Edit: she has also never used a normal bow & arrows in any game, pretty much exclusively summoning a bow made from magic and using enchanted light arrows, or using a rapier instead. Not saying she couldn’t use a regular bow and arrows, just that she hasn’t.
Also I swear, if there is a Link x Zelda romance plot I’m going to riot - Link taps monster girls only in any instance he isn’t ace.
“Well ex-cuuuuuuse me, princess!”
I sincerely hope he says that line in the movie
Given the rest of the comments in this thread, here’s a controversial opinion: Imma reserve my judgement instead of judging a book by its cover.
I find it hard to tell if a movie - especially its plot - is good or bad based on just 3 images.
The only thing about this so far that I dislike is that they didn’t find a fully blond guy to play Link. The fake blond look is not a great fit.
They should have dyed it pink.
why blond? Links hair can be Brown, Blonde or even Pink.
IMHO his hair should have been Pink or Brown.
This is what it feels like sometimes.
His hair is brown in many early incarnations, and went brown-blonde before full blonde. Personally think this colour in the image is peak OoT link hair shade.
His hair looks like this to you?
Yes, that colour.
That’s the lighting making some parts darker than others. Not blond hair with brown roots
Tripling down on this sure makes this obsession seem suspect
Live action is a mistake.
Yeah, we need studio Ghibli to do it!
I have zero hopes they can pull this off. Links game personality doesn’t translate well to film. Nits just gonna be a teenage fantasy romance.
Does Link have dialogue?
Hep! Hut! Hyyy-Yah!!

He only repeats one line over and over: “Well ex-cuuuuuuse me, princess!”
That would actually get my butt to the cinema bench. Especially if he “flies” by jumping on bomb blasts with his shield
I’d also accept if he was essentially Beavis ala The Legend of Beavis which is one of the funniest things on YouTube.
That was pure art
I think I’ve seen this. He just says “As you wish.”
Looks absolutely horrible
They really cast the best looking actor for Link’s role. He really looks like the most recent iteration of the character in the video game.
Those two look perfect for the role. I don’t think I have seen him in anything but I saw her in King and Conqueror and she is great
“The Lord of the Rings” is a multimedia fantasy virus isn’t it. Just gets into everything.
Check out the Shannara live action series, the stills kind of reminds me of that (even though I only watched 1 episode)
I see it, maybe a little more post-industrial. But if you’d told me these were stills from Rings of Power (especially the last one) I would have accepted it without question.
Also, how have I missed out on Shannara? It looks amazing, glad you mentioned it ❤️
The books are really good (to a point), the show was not bad and starting to get good when it ended.
I remember reading the books, but I felt way to far away from the target audience for the live action so just gave it one episode. I hope Im not giving you disappointment ;)
Not at all falling in love with a classic series of fantasy novels and then feeling alienated by a modern cinematic adaptation written for a younger audience and a different time that I nevertheless feel should exactly reproduce my experience of the original and therefore am invariably disappointed is one of my favorite things, I do it all the time. Already got the first audiobook downloaded, looking forward to it.
I kind of love the walking mess of Walker Boh, but that character is a bit further in the series (if I remember correctly). If you remember let me know what you thought when you feel youve made up your mind about the books
Ok I’m about halfway through The Sword of Shannara and I’m enjoying it but it really feels like we’re just doing The Fellowship of the
RingMagic Sword. They just got through the halls of the dead (which they had to take, even though they’re guarded by the dead and are super dangerous but it’s the fastest route) and I 100% expectedGandalfAllanon to die fighting theBalroglake tentacle monster. But they get out, and Shae gets washed away by the river, and now Allanon’s like “welp, the one guy who could wield the Magic Sword against the Evil Sorcerer, the guy this whole quest is about, might be dead now. He might not be, but let’s abandon him and go find the Magic Sword anyway”. I mean the author has explicitly stated that Allanon might have other plans up his sleeve but I really don’t understand why finding Shae isn’t priority #1.So basically older style youth fantasy. Maybe its not only the live action Ive grown out of, I might only remember the books through rose tinted glasses
Hmm I don’t mind Link’s look, actually I kind of like it. I would’ve liked Zelda to look more elf-ish or fairylike.
Also shouldn’t her hair be more blonde?? Like can’t she wear a wig or dye her hair a few shades lighter lol
seems fine, but i still can’t believe they didn’t partner with Ghibli for this.
Does Zelda every use a bow in any of the games? I always thought she was more magic-oriented
She uses light arrows against Ganondorf in Wind Waker. I kinda wanna say BotW too but maybe I’m misremembering
Also against Ganon in OoT
Yeah when she uses weapons it’s almost always a bow and related to the light arrows.
Yes, it’s part of defeating Gannon in multiple games. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, maybe Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild if I remember correctly. There are definitely more. I always thought it was a core part of her iconography…
Game: imaginative gorgeous landscape
Movie: generic scenery from someone’s backyard
If my backyard looked like I wouldn’t be nearly as miserable as I am.
