      With a director who’s most known for doing some hunger games ripoff-ripoff YA garbage. It’s so amazingly beyond parody that if you told me Nintendo’s plan was to delegitimize film as an art form, I’d believe you.

      It will be dangerous to go alone, and something will be a secret to everybody, and every other dumb reference to each game will be crammed in.

        Just like the Mario movie? Cause as kinda fun-ish as it was, it was still pretty cringe when they had literally all the references to the Mario tropes. The fuckin koopa even just yells out “BLUE SHELL” before he goes into it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nintendo and Sony Pictures are making a live-action film of much beloved video game series The Legend of Zelda.

    Renowned video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad of the Spider-Man trilogy will co-produce, with The Maze Runner’s Wes Ball directing.

    It is among the most successful franchises of Japan’s Nintendo, alongside Super Mario Bros.

    It also garnered five-star reviews from Empire,The Guardian, Metro, the Daily Mirror, and the Radio Times.

    Breath of the Wild, the previous Zelda instalment, sold an estimated 30 million copies.

    Previous film adaptations of popular video games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have been panned by critics as well as fans.

    Classic video game franchise. Realistically it’s not going to adapt any particular game. They’ll sample as they please from any previous works and build up their own version of the story.

    That’s how legends work.
