Zelda Movie

Computer Generated. Advent Children wowed me with it's CGI. Zelda can too.

As long as the CGI is as good as it is in FFVII the get a CGI Zelda movie based on the 7 years Link was gone in OoT, that would show how Ganon rose to power and claimed Lordship over the lands of Hyrule, how the castel was attacked, how the Zora's were frozen, how the Kokiri were drove into their homes. That would make a great Movie

Yes,PREACH IT! Now if the movie had CGI graphics like this: then I'd be extremely EXTREMELY happy.

I don't care for computer made movies. less it was like FF spirts, where you could forget it's even computer. I think it would suck. Animated might be good, but I think a live action like Super Mario Brothers.

I was thinkng over a script for sucha movie, but chances are, it would never get done, and if a Zelda movie was made, it would suck.

I think Metroid would probably work better for a movie, cause there is alot there to work with, and be hard to mess it up. less they put in a love intrest, and have Samus end the movie taking off her hemit and getting dipped and kissed by who ever was put in as her lover.

I'd love to see well done:
Zelda
Metroid
Star Fox
Megaman

but if any were made, they would suck, cause game movies have a curce on them, I swear.

Ya movies based on video games do usually suck, for example: Tomb Raider

I've heard rumours that someone got the rights from Nintendo or somethin take make a Metroid movie... I don't know what to believe, but all I know is that would be a great movie, if done right. But I would still much rather see a Zelda movie made before a Metroid movie anyday.

Yeah I heard about that from a friend, who is the Metroid fan that I am to Zelda. But I cringed, cause the people who make these movies, I really doubt are true fans, cause they stray so far from the hole idea of the game/comic/book/etc.

I'd think what they should do with a game movie, is take the actualy plot from a game, and make it into a movie, instead of tring to make it something else. Resident Evil wasn't like any of the games, FF Spirits within wasn't like the game, so on and so forth. I'd think, turning one of the Zelda games, like Ocaina, into a movie would be really intresting, maybe make it a seires since the game is pretty long for a movie. And do it using the computer graphics being put into Twilight Princess.

Mostly, I just want to see a long version of Link VS Ganon.

Same would work with Metroid. Take the Super Metroid game and make that a movie using Metroid Prime Graphics.

Sure fans would know how it would play out, but it's not like any movie can be predicted.

Sci Fi: Either robots or aliens attack the human race, and they lose to the humans after seeming to be winning.

Fnatacy: Agance all odds, the hero fights their way through magic and monsters and saves the day.

the only differnace in taking a game script and makign a movie. Is the fans do have a good idea how alot plays out, but they still would see it. Cause who wouldn't love to see their favorite game played out? Look at Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings, and stuff. those were books first, and the same people who read those watched the movies.

Anime! MAKE IT AN ANIME! ANIIIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEE! It would be so awsome if they made a movie and a tv show... *drools ucontrolably*

I think it would be awesome if it was live action. I can imagine it. Just think of the story in Twilight princess. He starts out as a farm boy and then he gets the green tunic and blah blah blah. Yeah...it wouldn't do harm to make one computer generated and one live. If there were to be a real live Zelda movie I'd want it to be based on OoT.

I would want it to be based on the 7 years Link was gone in OoT, they can't make a Zelda movie based on the games. One of the main reasons Zelda games should ONLY be games is because of the side quests. They can't make a Zelda movie with the side quests, because then it would get: the most off-topic plot award.

The games can have the side quest, but th emovie would be around the main quest. Cause what side quest would really be needed in the movie? Skultula? getting all the heart pieces?

small things like bottels, and side quest that you just sorta came apon doing the main quest, would be fine, but putting in all the side quest would ruint he movie.

why I think it would be best as a sierse. have the first movie be young Link going through that part of the game, then end with him pulling the sword out. secound movie would be where he wakes up in the Chamber of Sages, then play through till the kidnapping of Zelda maybe. then the Third would be his fight getting to and through Ganon's Castle and fighting Ganon and all the way to the end of the game.

hehe, even in the ending creadits of the movie, could play out liek the ones in the game. and after all the creadits roll, the Luluby plays, fallowed by arandom Scarcrow song.

I'd watch that. Be like Star Wars, only better XP

Ya a Zelda T.V. series would be OK I guess, it's just, the thing I like about Zelda is that you get to decide how Link talks and Acts, No one can actually tell how Link talks, apart from gasps and war cries, you cannot tell what his voice sounds like. Nither can you tell what he acts like, you get to decide all of those elements, you get to decide how he will feel about this and that. for example: in MM when the Ghosts attack the barn at Romani Ranch and if you fail and they kidnap Romani, you get to decide if Link will feel greived and sorrow, or if Link kind of just realises that he has failed and he will continue as if he wants to consele that incident. My point is, a Zelda movie or TV series would ruin that feeling. You then have to agree with the movie that Link acts that way and sounds that way.

makes sense, probably why the original TV show had such poor scripting for Link and every one, cause it came out early on, and really wasn't much to Link then. All people knew, was he was a hero saving the day.

Be kinda funny in a movie if Link never talked, only made noises, and body motions. XP But I guess basing off a game, would really be hard. least for Zelda, by the point you made.

and I didn't know that about the rance thing. I never failed at it, so didn't know what happend when you did ^^;

on my other note of other games made to movies, Metroid probably would work, sicne you really don't have the controll on Samus' interaction in the game.

Do wonder if they made a Zelda, would it have the crappyness o fthe Mario brother's friday speacal show, or would they actually make it worth wild? Time can only tell. (and if they fail, just play the song of time, and warp back and redo things XP )

I think that Wind Waker or Four Swords would have been cooler if they had some sort of T.V. series based off the games that also gave out tips on how to solve things in the game, but also had completely original puzzles, ideas, and concepts. That or comics. Those would have been even cooler, in my opinion.

yes I would much rather see a comic about Zelda than a TV show or Movie. though the comic might partially take away how people can think how Link would act in a situation. But you still have the freedom of how you think Link sounds (and the only reason that i failed on that ranch incedent is because I once got there like 10 seconds before it happend, so I had no idea what was going on and I was on foot. I only lost it once because of that reason)

they have Zelda comics, least I remember seeing some. might be in Nintendo power. my friend use to get those all the time.

but comic would be neat. I just want to see an animated long and full battle of Link VS Ganon. racing up the stairs, then facing off with him. beating him, then saving Zelda as the castle colapses, then the battle of him VS Ganon's ture form.

be awesome.

also hope you didn't think I was bragging about never losing it at the alien thing. When I finnaly had my own copy of Majora's mask to play and beat. I just had gone through Master Quest, and so I still had some left over Bow and horse skillage.

Maybe inplace of a movie, they should just make some Web shorts of famouse battles and encounters from Zelda games. nothing needing the choices you get in the game, nothing needing alot of side quest or other stuff, just little shorts. Like an Animatrix, only with things that happend adn seen in Zelda. and maybe stuff that wasn't. Like the War of Hyrule, and the hole thing of how Link was brought to the Deku Tree.

be called..... well can't think of a name, but be something cool to have.

i'd have it anime style!. although, i would like to warn you all, there have been several attempts to make an animated zelda movie/cartoon, and all of them failed miserably. one i found on a japanese sit ages ago. it was a five minute clip. the link in it looked kind of like the OoS/OoA official fanart link, but with reddish brown hair. and the enemies were'nt even native to Hyrule, nor any other part of the world. there was something that looked like a giant stuffed teddy bear! and then there was the cartoon. lemme give you an idea. "well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess." and he didnt even look right! and also, there was a fairy called sprite. i dont exactly remember a "sprite" from TLoZ or AoL. the only fairies were found at fountains (to my knowledge) and couldnt be caught in bottles. so if they do make another attempt at a zelda movie, you'd better hope they have someone who know's what the enemie's look like, can get some good voice-over's (possibly like link from OoT. he sounded right.) and a good script too. and also i hope they know the characters and enemy's well.

Well, I was thinking of a movie based on the 7 years Link was gone (People read my posts so I dont have to reapeat it every time) That way Link wouldn't have to be in It, But you would have Zelda Train to become a Sheikah, maybe it would also show more Sheikahs, and it would tell how the Sages were trapped, You could fit battles with Armies in a movie like that. I personally would like to see a movie like that done in Live acting, maybe Anime, you somtimes forget that Anime is Anime when your watching a Movie like that.

A Zelda movie would be great, and a T.V. show would suck…..even if they made it 100X better then the last one. Movies are just so much better and the fans would have a greater love for it. A few movies would be best, maybe a trilogy to represent the Triforce, but make too many and it would lose the originality and the fans would slowly stop going. But how should the movie be done, well it would have to be totally animated but not the cartoon looking stuff, more lifelike and yet one still needs to be able to tell it is an animated film form the start, take a look at Last Exile to see what I mean. Also the fact that it is animated means that Link can look like he should and the look that Link has in TP is the one that should be adopted, no more kid stuff, we are tired of the high pitched voices and the lack of respect.
What the animation looks like is a big deal but just one part of the movie that would make it a masterpiece; the other aspects are a good plot line that gets the audience involved and allows them to form a type of relationship with the characters that will make them unforgettable. Relationships must be formed between the characters in the movie, and we as the audience must be able to see them form. I am not talking about a love story between the Princess and Link because that can never happen it is just not meant to be, Zelda said it herself at one point, but their friendship can be unmatched. Villains will also play a big part in the movie and the head villain Gannon himself must not be portrayed as pure evil but as a monster formed from the lust for power. (To get an idea of what I mean study Greed from Full Metal Alchemist) Music will be one of the most crucial parts of the film itself w/o a good soundtrack the movie will be worthless and Zelda fans everywhere will be let down. Over the years we have experienced music that made our hearts race with anticipation, and made us cry with the music of the ending credits. If the music is not greater then that of the movie then all the effort was truly wasted.
So we have a good plot line, character we love and love to hate, a great looking digital movie and music that stirs the emotions, what did I miss, oh ya voices for the characters. So who should be who, if a famous person comes to your mind hit yourself, for this movie has to be totally original! The voices will have to be found, there is a good Link, Zelda and everyone else out there all that has to be done is a massive hut for the right person, and they have to fit. I don’t know how it is done but that is the job of the movie producer and they can pull through I sure of it. Once all these elements are pulled together I think a good foundation for a Zelda movie has been laid and now it is up to the directors to build a masterpiece that will never be forgotten, and we the fan will have to keep them in line and make sure they stay true to the Zelda story.
Sorry for going on like that, but when you met a true Zelda lover they want everything to be perfect just like I do, oh and I’m a perfectionist…well thats all for now but I'll be back.
