Just a reminder… the Zelda movie is going to be focused on Link, Zelda, Ganon, and the Triforce. There might be side characters here and there, but since this is the first ever Zelda movie, they are going to play it very very SAFE and make it the most bare bones generic Zelda storyline ever. We didn’t get Mario Galaxy until we had Mario Bros. The Movie first, you know?
I want people to temper their expectations.
If you are going into this thinking it’s going to be a 1:1 retelling of your favorite Zelda game, you are going to be disappointed.
If you’re a lore purist, you’re probably going to be disappointed too as a lot of the visual/storytelling elements are likely going to be pulled from multiple games.
Please do not freak out. It’s going to be okay.
This is a movie. The emotional depth of Link and Zelda’s relationship is ALWAYS going to be more important than the Easter eggs. We need to actually CARE about these characters as characters first and foremost. So whatever story they concoct, it’s going to be centered on their emotional journey and arcs FIRST. And then on the side there will be references to other games and lore tucked away here and there.
That’s how the Mario Movie did it and it made a billion dollars for Nintendo. They aren’t going to try and break the mold, they’re gonna play it safe.
Just please… temper your expectations. Heck, maybe in the end I’m wrong and it will be even more amazing than we ever could’ve imagined! I just feel like starting from a middle ground point of expectations always works better than if you start off WAY TOO HIGH and then fall when your expectations aren’t met.
Just from a mental health perspective it’s better for you.
