No it doesn’t.

That’s not true at all. Nothing is similar in this case except them both being Nintendo games….what a weird statement

I am a huge Zelda fan, as should be evidence by my username.
I couldn’t be less excited for this movie if I tried.
The moment I saw the words live action, any hope I had of this being a decent adaptation flew out the window. I have absolutely zero intention of seeing this movie. There’s absolutely no guarantee of success at all.

That’s like claiming McDonald’s success with fast food is a guarantee for it’s success going in to fine dining. Those are completely different games and audiences. I hope it succeeds, but I’m sceptical.

An animated Mario movie and a live action Zelda movie have different audiences. Animated kids almost always perform well because parents will take their kids just for something to do knowing it will be kid appropriate. A lot of parents likely won’t be taking their kids to see a live action film about a guy killing things with a sword.

No, I am not going to read your shitty blog that you are spamming. Especially with an idiotic headline like that.

Even for a substack link this is foolish

Guaranteed is a strong word when one was animated and the other being a live action.

No they do not. Many people love Zelda but it’s not Mario and live action is not animation. There are a million ways this could go wrong

no it doesnt.
say what you want but zelda will not translate half as well to a movie as it does to games and they can’t rescue it through humor like mario.

I honestly do not want Link to speak. The whole thing through the 30+ years of the franchise was that *YOU* were Link and seeing things from his perspective – you were LINKED to the protagonist. Link doesn’t speak because it would ruin that feeling of self-reflection entirely. You are no longer as invested into the adventure because then it’s someone else’s.
If Link speaks in this movie, I feel like it would undo a lot of positive nostalgia I have for the series throughout its entirety.
