I have some major doubts about Zelda working as a live action film versus an animated series or movie, but I'll certainly watch.
Cue the Chris Pratt as Link memes.

The issue with doing this movie is that Zelda is a MASSIVE story with multiple different timeliness, where do you begin?
Make the a trilogy and when it makes a billion dollars, make a bunch of prequels and spin-offs.The issue with doing this movie is that Zelda is a MASSIVE story with multiple different timeliness, where do you begin?
Tri-Force, save the princess, Ganon, Link, yada yada yada....you've got yourself a movieThey’ll just do what they always do, make a story and then throw a dart at a wall-mounted copy of the timeline and then slightly tweak it based on where it lands.
I was thinking about this literally the other day, and it’s a topic mentioned before. It’s astounding to me that it’s never been attempted.

Probably with the story from the current game, and then due to time travel they can revisit Gen X/Millennial classics like a Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. I'd pay good money to see a Link to the Past adapted for the big screenThe issue with doing this movie is that Zelda is a MASSIVE story with multiple different timeliness, where do you begin?
I'll say none of the above. You create a new store with the primary Zelda themes that works for a live action movie. The 'massive story with multiple timelines' thing is for the biggest Zelda nerds in online fan theory communities. I don't know if Nintendo acknowledged at all but I remember it certainly started as such.Probably with the story from the current game, and then due to time travel they can revisit Gen X/Millennial classics like a Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time.

This is going to come up unfortunately, but I mean yeah they relied on the old trope with the simple story telling of the 8 and 16 bit systems but on the N64 Zelda became a ninja and the Gamecube a pirate captain. Ganon as well can be looked at as a simple trope of the despotic villain who shows up at the start to set the stage and then doesn't really appear again till you face him as the last boss. And of course Link is the young boy/man going on adventure.I'm sure people with have issues with Link having to save the damsel in distress, Zelda, as opposed to her having the agency as a strong and independent female to save herself.
Especially producing such duds as Spider-Man 2, Iron Man, Into The Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse.Ahhh yes, best to partner up with the producer behind (checks notes) Morbius, Uncharted, the Ghost in the Shell live action adaptation, Elektra, and The Fantastic Four (2005). He's a surefire bet.
He has his name attached to every Spider-Man project because he owned the rights to Spider-Man. His track record of actually being involved in movies is much spottier. Any amount of research into his track record will show you that about 90% of his involvement has been negative. I can't wait for him to shoehorn Venom into the Legends of Zelda movie.Especially producing such duds as Spider-Man 2, Iron Man, Into The Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse.
