My stages of watching this:
Link better be canonically a femboy, else I’m gonna do some serious gamer shit and complain about “accuracy” on Twitter while review bombing wherever I can.
Me learning there's gonna be a Zelda movie:
Me learning it's live action:
Welp they managed to bungle it from the start. Maybe they can screw it so bad it's good.

My favorite part of the movie will be when Link says "It's Zeldin' time!" and bombs some dodongos.
My favorite part will be when the movie stumbles out of the gate and calls Link Zelda by mistake like an out of touch parent
The Mario movie was pretty good. This will probably be pretty good too. Which is sad because it being terrible would end up being much more intresting. We have remembered the first mario movie far longer than we will remember the seccond you know.
Summary: it isn't just going to be Disney style bland "live action" of something that shouldn't be that, but it's going to be produced and written by some of the least competent people in Hollywood that still have jobs.
I don't really consider LoZ to have a canon, so I think I'll be okay just ignoring this movie (since it can't get anything 'wrong' per se) and hoping it bombs.
By God if they so much as think about a Metroid movie though

I wish most fans felt the same way but The Prophecy(tm) tends to lock things into an eternal recursion of events involving the same three people (with gender-coded essentialist roles) all throughout it because a game in the 90s said so once.
True, but I can point to many games in the series where that trichotomy is broken so I gotta say smh fake fans
I'd enjoy it if more Zelda games continued what prior games started in direct lines and built things up instead of rebooting/resetting/destroying Hyrule over and over again. The one where you build trains seemed to have the right idea.
this could have easily been an animated (mini or otherwise) series in the vein of samurai jack and it would probably clean up
i swear some people just hate money
I know next to nothing about this movie but I hope that at worst it's just an inoffensive okay movie like The Mario Movie was. I really hate the idea of a Zelda movie though
The only live action LoZ movies I consider acceptable are those goofy early 2000's parodies
Holy shit, it's like they want it to fail for the insurance money or something
Zelda fans: This movie fucking sucks. None of us asked for this shit.
