Back from the world of dreams, I think the main issue that we have to overcome is how to bring out the charm of the Zelda universe. Having a large kingdom where the heroes walk across it has already been done in Lord of the Rings. If you try to do that again, then people will be quick to label it as a LotR imitator. Yet the Kingdom of Hyrule is, for the most part, exactly like the LotR kingdom, albeit more circular than linear. I, in all honesty, don't find the land of Hyrule charming in comparison with LotR.
And this is why I feel apprehensive about a "medieval fantasy epic". It's been done. A "Zelda fantasy epic" hasn't been done though... Maybe we should start looking at that.

No quite so actually!
Star Trek - Star wars, both similar concepts, but very different. sure there was some contraversy but in the end no one minded.
Lord of the rings - Narnia, Pretty much the same. I think any fantasy is intitled into what ever it wants really. ( of course, something original too )
Either way, it doesn't matter, the themes and such would all be very different from Lord of the rings anyway. No one would be able to think too similar anyways by itself. I hear a lot of "
A Zelda film should be like Lord of the Rings!" etc etc, but thats something i really want to tear away from.
But more to the point, Zelda has been about to some extend travelling, no?
I'm having trouble with this, in terms of map plotting geographically, but i want Link to
have to go through these different locations, and some, just accidently. Unlike the games, i don't want Hyrule castle with in a few moments travelling, Hyrule castle should be, and expressed as the furthest location from home ( yet? )
By the end of the film(s) i want to achieve sumblinally that Link
has went to many familiar locations, rounding up the 'zelda' theme. Of course, i definatly don't want him going from one to one, premeditated like the games, trying to find something, no no. It's the terrains that either help him, or stop him from getting where he wants. Traveling i doubt will cause too much 'THIS IS LORD OF THE RINGS', but cause it was never aimed that way. They will have much as a point of traveling being a theme in lord of the rings, than swords being in zelda - it doesn't matter.
