NOOOOOO please don’t be true
I was just thinking about how Zelda is the one Nintendo franchise that could actually make for a good animated movie and how bad of an idea it would be to let Illumination make it.
Link will have the thick faux-italian accent that Mario should have had. Bafflingly, he’ll be both voiced by and modeled after Chris Pratt as well. No explanation will be given.
Just an awful idea. It’ll make a billion dollars.
OK wait. You’ve previously expressed distaste for Zelda games that change the formula. Not just BOTW, on which I partially agree, but also ALBW, on which I significantly disagree. So which is it? Not trying to be confrontational I’m just confused.
Quality’ll hinge fully on how cute they make Link
I’d rather watch a Studio Ghibli LoZ movie
Miyazaki: Ganondorf is the avatar of capital and environmental disaster, slay him Link, for the love of God slay him or we will continue to endure this Hell…
Skull Kid from Majora’s Mask is the avatar of nihilism and environmental apocalypse. Ganondorf is more of an anti-christ religious figure than anything to do with capitalism. Hyrule is locked into a feudal system by recurring demons fucking up all accumulations of capital before any other social structures can develop. Ganon/The Demon King prevents capitalism and keeps the world in eternal feudal idiocy. Ganondorf is an avatar of evil, a prophetic male Gerudo of flesh that steals power and becomes the evil God he was destined to become. He never is killed, only sealed or banished or sent to another dimension or something similar - he will always come back in a couple generations.
If anything is a symbol for capital, it’s the triforce - which is godly omnipotence objectified and commodified into a physical item. The kingdom and society of Hyrule is peculiar and distorted because it’s entire purpose is to lock away, protect and hide this object and keep it out of the hands of demons. Its more of a curse than a blessing because it doesn’t really seem to do anything to help anyone but if seized by the Demons it unleashes tons of destruction.
the triforce can be used to bring good to the world, at the end of a link to the past it’s used to reverse all the damage done by Ganon. However, hylians and other races usually fight for it when it isn’t sealed away.
This or a mini-series from the animation studio of Arcane or something. But no Believer by Imagine Dragons pls
I would love to see a film that’s inspired by Legend of Zelda (especially a hand drawn animated film no matter the style) more than a Legend of Zelda movie.
I feel like “Princess Mononoke” fits that what you’re wanting, in a way. Its not inspired by it but I think it feels like it.
1000% what I am wanting. I’d love to see another film just like that, perhaps a different direction of creative vision but yes, would love to see a Legend of Zelda meets Princess Monoke film that was inspired by animators who loved those things. I think there have been so many great films to inspire animators that would in turn inspire future animators. I think you get that real deal magically creativity when you let them pitch their own thing rather than commissioning them to do an existing IP. The only exception I can think of is Spiderverse
