- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

With a director who's most known for doing some hunger games ripoff-ripoff YA garbage. It's so amazingly beyond parody that if you told me Nintendo's plan was to delegitimize film as an art form, I'd believe you.
Live action is a mistake IMO 2D animation would be better
I reckon 3D animation, a movie animated in both the style and locations of BoTW would be pretty amazing.
That could also work yeah
Oh no
Oh god. Please not another one
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nintendo and Sony Pictures are making a live-action film of much beloved video game series The Legend of Zelda.
Renowned video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto and Avi Arad of the Spider-Man trilogy will co-produce, with The Maze Runner's Wes Ball directing.
It is among the most successful franchises of Japan's Nintendo, alongside Super Mario Bros.
It also garnered five-star reviews from Empire,The Guardian, Metro, the Daily Mirror, and the Radio Times.
Breath of the Wild, the previous Zelda instalment, sold an estimated 30 million copies.
Previous film adaptations of popular video games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have been panned by critics as well as fans.
The original article contains 212 words, the summary contains 108 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This came out of nowhere. I think everybody was expecting Dreamworks to make it with the "How To Train Your Dragon Team." This is such a stepdown from that and my hopes aren't high if this guy's only bragging rights are that God awful Uncharted movie.
Uh oh
"Well sorrrrryyyy, Princess."
It will be dangerous to go alone, and something will be a secret to everybody, and every other dumb reference to each game will be crammed in.
You're right on all points.
I hope we at least get lots of lazy news reporting that refers to the lead actor as playing the part of "Zelda" - ideally live streamed and in-person, in front of the actress who plays "Zelda".
Just like the Mario movie? Cause as kinda fun-ish as it was, it was still pretty cringe when they had literally all the references to the Mario tropes. The fuckin koopa even just yells out "BLUE SHELL" before he goes into it.
shows Link playing on a PS5
Classic video game franchise. Realistically it's not going to adapt any particular game. They'll sample as they please from any previous works and build up their own version of the story.
That's how legends work.
