Link is not nearly femboy enough. I give it a 1 out of 10.
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 trailer hopefully will show:
- Jack Black as a Goron king wincing saying “ooo right in the dekus!” after Link gets hit in the groin by a slingshot and crosses his eyes before falling backwards
- The Rock as Ganondorf doing the eyebrow raise, and saying, “can you smell what the 'dorf is cooking?”
- James Bautista sneaking into a Gerudu camp wearing a lacy tube top, face covering, and flowing pants
- Link’s horse making a suggestive whinny and pushing Link closer to Zelda played by Zendaya
I didn’t know I needed more Jack black after his last few movies (god borderlands was awful)
But this would be hilarious.
It would be bad, but funny.
If they wanted to make a parody movie about Zelda then definitely and I’d watch it and have a good time, but too many movies parody themselves and it’s not to my taste.
I like my parodies funny and my action dramas serious. No need to wink at the camera after every lame joke
This would be better than what the real movie will be
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.
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
Also shouldn’t her hair be more blonde??
Reddish brown in the OG, blonde in art but brown in game in LttP, brown in TP.
angry internet gamer noises
Neither of these people are ethnically elfish. Immersion absolutely ruined. FFS, Mr. Zelda looks downright Norwegian. Not a drop of Hyrulean blood in his veins. I’m boycotting this movie. I’m boycotting 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.
It’s very rare for Zelda to have actual romance, it’s only been Skyward Sword and BotW / TotK. I’m sure Miyamoto and Aonuma would rip some hearts out if someone tried to steer this movie too far from the games like that.
Using the Mario movie for reference, this will be a very targeted release.
This movie is made for the BotW/TotK crowd. There is a nearly zero chance that this movie has reference to any other console Links. It will be a fantasy played straightforward because Nintendo doesn’t do memes or references unless it’s to an existing game that does, like Smash.
This seems like the most plausible take.
The background is going to be out of focus the whole movie, I guarantee it.
Live action is a mistake.
Yeah, we need studio Ghibli to do it!
“Well ex-cuuuuuuse me, princess!”
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.
Little known fact: You can determine the quality of an entire movie franchise from untouched principle photography. See how Mr. Zelda sort of looks like if a young Hayden Christensen and Leonardo Dicaprio had a baby? That’s all you need to know.
As long as it has one of these references:
“Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess!”
“HEY LISTEN”
“Suavamente”
“It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this!”
Combat rolls
Bomb jump
Shield spring jump
Chakram Boomerang moment
Sword Throw
we’re good
The only reference I’d care to see is “LINK! So good to see you! …you must die!”
“You’ve killed me!”
“Good!”
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
Looks absolutely horrible
it’s literally three static images
Does Link have dialogue?
I think I’ve seen this. He just says “As you wish.”
He only repeats one line over and over: “Well ex-cuuuuuuse me, princess!”
Hep! Hut! Hyyy-Yah!!
