    Zelda is ideal for a movie franchise because it can reset its hero origin story over and over again and keep rehashing rebooted Hyrules just like Spider-Man did but with less pushback from most of its fans. :so-true:

          The structure of Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon resemble an old text adventure, ever notice?

      Link/Zelda as a generic fantasy cliche story framework is entirely incidental to the games themselves. What makes them good (or, occasionally, bad) games is ultimately the gameplay and not the plot.

      A Hollywood studio trying to adapt one of these things to a screenplay would absolutely piss off everyone and produce an enormous flop.
