Possible Zelda Movie

Zelda Producer, Eiji Aonuma has stated in a recent interview with Nintendo Power that he has wanted to create a Zelda movie, he had this to say for the August 2011 interview:

“I always thought it would be really cool to have a real Zelda movie, something really grand and sweeping. But, of course, I have neither the time nor the wherewithal for all that, and even if I did have the money to make a movie, I don’t know if it would turn out well,” Aonuma said. “But there are days when I fantasize about how cool it would be if something like that would happen in the future.”
Hopefully Nintendo can make it happen! What would your thoughts be on the Zelda series  hitting the big screen? Comment!

    That doesn' mean anything. In fact, he is saying the opposite. Also, after the Mario Bros movie I don't think they autorize any other film.

      And also, FIRST!!!!!!

      Sorry, I had to say it.

    I think it could work, although there is always a big risk when your main characters from the games don't talk.

      Link talks they just didn’t put any text boxes for him or give him a detailed personality in the games because he supposed to relate to the players and be the link between the players and the game

    That would be awful
    unless ghibli did it, or someone else who's reliable 95% of the time like Pixar (damn you cars 2!)

    • ShayDaComputerGeek

      yeah if anybody was to do it then Studio ghibli would be the only one

      • ppvsonicspy

        huh….no Peter Jackson would be the best to direct the movie, he as already made great epic fantasy movies like lord of the rings and the hobbit so he would deffinetly be the perfect choice for a LoZ movie

    I fear it would be the biggest bombs in history

    I think it would be cool, if it was done right. I would love to see it happen! :-)

    Personaly i think it would be terrible, i feel as though watching Zelda instead of controlling Link, would completely ruin the feel of the franchise, and another thing, music wouldn't be as indebth and drawing in a movie, (i mean you can't have epic LoZ music playing in the background the entire movie right?

    • ppvsonicspy

      There is a lot of epic fantasy movies that have epic music in the background idiot, Lord of the Rings is an example -.- why wouldn’t it work for LoZ.

    I would absolutely hate there to be a Legend of Zelda movie. The entire idea of being in control would be lost, and all of the characters would probably have to talk, yet, one of my favorite things about Legend of Zelda is that no one talks. It would ruin it.

    • ppvsonicspy

      I don’t think so, the idea of being in control is for the GAME, and that makes sense, but if they made a movie not only would it be cool as hell but also they would win a tons of money with it, and everyone talks on the zelda mangas, and it doesn’t ruin it, beside everyone talks in the game even Link, they just didn’t put voice acting and didn’t give lines for Link because, IN THE GAMES, he is supposed to be the link between the players and the game, but a movie is different so I don’t think it would make much sense for u to be in control of a movie. Besides they can just make a movie of an already existing story so they just need to change the story of Ocarina of Time for example from a game to a movie and a master piece is made, if they choose the right director of course cough Peter Jackson cough

  • pie chan

    bad idea. ruin series. no one watch. nintendo NO DO!

  • Arjin

    Well Mario sadly didnt have too much movie potential… Zelda however does…

    You guys are all high. I think making a Legend of Zelda movie would be the greatest movie and truthfully, they’d make money. The theme would have to be the like the Lord of the Rings franchise. Link wouldnt get the three stones, then the master sword and the triforce and all the medallions and eventually defeating Ganandorf all in one shot. They would have to split it into different parts like the Lord of the Rings. I started writing a script for this 2 years ago, hopefully somebody realizing what I wrote. Lets see what happens.

  • ppvsonicspy

    I think they would make a lot of money if they did a Legend of Zelda movie, and I already know a great why for them to do it, Eiji and/or Miyamoto could write the script and then they could ask peter jackson to direct the movie, he would be a great director for the movie since he did other great epic fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
