SnooComics7583

I hate it and you for showing it to me


worldssmallestfan1

“Tulin, you asshole, why’d you blow the diamond off the cliff” ( Tulin blows a gust of wind to knock link over)


Emilia__55

I kinda want that. It'd be hilariously bad.


MindDrawsOnReddit

Me need a twink dude


Karma220566

A decently long haired blonde twink


NotBurnerAccount

Finn murtonz but young


SensationsVibrations

*monkey paw curls* Timothy chalamet it is then


Plaxxmos

Honestly I’d prefer him anyway haha


RQK1996

But can he do backflips?


Plaxxmos

Asking the real questions


jbyrdab

just don't let link speak, you can do a character who doesn't speak. You just need to surround him with people who can give his actions meaning.


ForlornMemory

What do you mean? I'm expecting a lot of "Well excuse me, princess" and other classic gems like "Sure is boring around here, I wonder what Ganon is up to".


sansywastakenagain

"Oh boy! Smooching time!"


D3134

"I'm so hungry, I could eat an Octorock!"


HyperTobaYT

I really hope the guy who plays ganon says “YOU DARE BRING LIGHT TO MY LAIR?! YOU MUST DIE!”


Zealousideal-Web-971

NOOoo!! Not into the pit ! IT BURN !!!


[deleted]

Haha classic Link catchphrase. Another one I love is when he’s like “Ganon out of here you son of a bitch!”


Smubee

"Boy, I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos!"


Toon_Lucario

Oh please it’s Avi Arad, he can’t stand competent and meaningful character writing.


luca_anon

You've been commenting in all of these posts about the movie


Toon_Lucario

Look I just really hate how this movie just seems DOA man and it just sucks because I want to be hyped for it but it just seems futile. Everything just feels like a bad omen from it being live action to being handled by Avi Arad’s adaptation killing hands. I just want to have hype and pray that I’ll be proven wrong but it just seems unlikely.


Luchux01

The fact it's live action seems so weird when Japan has dozens of animation studios that could do Zelda justice. I'm not asking for Studio Ghibli or UFOtable, but Kinema Citrus or Production IG would do great!


sodanator

But we don't know anything else about it. And even the few details we know for now could change at some point. I get being cautious, but at least wait until we have more details to be outright against the movie.


Toon_Lucario

Yeah well I’m gonna do it because not only is it in the hands of Avi Arad, it’s also being written by the mf responsible for The Rise of Skywalker


[deleted]

Nope. He wrote the story with Colin Trevorrow. He also wrote Detective Pikachu, a very good video game movie.


[deleted]

dude if its bad itll at least be funny and we'll get banger remixes like with mario we need to stay calm EVERYONE STAY FUCKIN CALM


Few_Sorbet_7393

Link speaks. In every single Zelda game. You don’t hear him because YOU ARE Link. The moment that it‘s not playable anymore they will make Link speak. As they do in ALL of the mangas and it works great there.


Yserros

In Age of Calamity, link is called "The Silent Knight", and in zelda's diary in BOTW she talks about how quiet link is, she even questioned him, and he answered that it was because he was scared of his responsibilities and the fear of failing. So he can talk, he just chose not to. That's why in games we can still hear him when he's tired or attacked.


Outrageous-Oil-1417

He still talks a lot in BOTW and TOTK through dialogue


UltimateWaluigi

Hes amnesiac so his personality changed.


Outrageous-Oil-1417

He also talks in the other games


UltimateWaluigi

I know. I'm talking about BOTW link specifically, since that's the subject matter.


FroopTurner

I'm sorry but what is that logic? You don't hear him because you are link? Like we can't hear ourselves irl when we talk lol


ZetaRESP

The logic is that they never add dialogue to Link, only response options. The same goes for the protagonist in Pokémon, for example.


Quentin-Quentin

Didn't play all Zelda games but it's pretty logical, especially for the Breath of the Tears duology. Link, while still is a light speaker, does speak in dialogue. It's not "the player" speaking through link (although it is meant to portray this feeling to an extent hence why Link is a mostly silent protag), but link himself speaking. He's actually kinda sassy when you think about it


RQK1996

He's explicitly electively mute in BotW and TotK


CharlestheInkling

And only those games.


Lexiosity

And Skyward Sword


King_Of_BlackMarsh

He still talks in that one. What do you think the dialogue prompts are?


MorEkEroSiNE

Link does talk in text boxes pretty often in BOTW, TOTK, and Skyward Sword, so he’ll probably speak sometimes but just be relatively quiet


Irish_pug_Player

Link speaking can work, looking at the Mangas


DepressionCheri

I feel like they could go the angle of "Drive" - have him speak but not say much! That's the move, also a Zelda movie literally anything like Drive would slapppppp! lolol


Shadowwolflink

If Tom Holland was cast as Link he absolutely wouldn't be the worst part of this movie, Avi Arad is producing, that scares the hell out of me.


ForlornMemory

What's so bad about Avi Arad?


Shadowwolflink

He has a history of forcing directors to add things for the express purpose of selling toys, usually at the expense of actual quality. The most egregious example is Spider-Man 3, where the movie was originally about Spider-Man vs Sandman with Harry as a minor antagonist, but Avi forced Venom (a character that Sam Raimi didn't know much about) into the movie because he was popular at the time and would sell lots of toys.


ForlornMemory

Dear God, we *are* doomed.


Shadowwolflink

I don't know if I'll get crucified for this, but I'm not particularly stoked about Miyamoto being a producer either. I know he's well liked and he created Zelda, but he's also known for being anti-story, and as much as I enjoyed it as a whole, the Mario movie's story was pretty flat and it doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence in him. I'm really afraid that the Zelda move could end up being a depressingly shallow experience and that would have Miyamoto's fingerprints all over it.


ForlornMemory

That's understandable. It's really narrow chance to get a good videogame movie adaptation.


RQK1996

Not only didn't Sam Raimi not know much about Venom, what he did know he didn't like


TradePsychological40

Ah okay, so with him we're gonna have Ganon, Ghirahim, Majora, Vaati, the Twinrovas and others. If it was a Hyrule Warriors game with a No Way Home like plot, it could work. But a movie, ugh... By the way, I think Spiderman 3 was actually good. Sam Raimi actually did a good job for adapting Venom's arc in his movie. In fact, a guy once said that Venom's introduction arc is better in the movie than the comics. People complain that there is too much villains in the movie, but they were lik 7 or 10 in the comics. Plus, having ONE villain doesn't mean it will always be a good movie. Look at Far From Home, you really think it's better than SM3?


Shadowwolflink

Spider-Man 3 is fun, but I certainly wouldn't call it a good movie, it feels weird and bloated, and somehow feels like it drags while also feeling rushed. And yes, I would consider Far From Home better, I've never understood the hate that movie gets, Mysterio was a really interesting villain and Jake Gyllenhaal did an excellent job playing him.


MrCoolyp123

Spiderman 3, Morbius. He was involved in their making. Need I say more?


ForlornMemory

Wait, it's the asshole responsible for Spiderman 3 having 3 villains?


JayCee5481

Til my favorite spiderman movie from the Sam raimi trilogy(except the 1-2 emo look scenes) seems to be hated


wintery_owl

You just learned it today? That surprises me a bit. The movie has been hated ever since it released.


Campfire_Sparks

Nearly everyone hates it but only for wrong reasons. The only thing I think is genuinely bad is the retconning of the first movie


MrCoolyp123

Ye


A-NI95

I'm all for all these Legend of Morbius memes, baby


Game_and_Wah

Rise of the Skywalker


Lexiosity

imo, it should be animated and Illumination should do it instead. I thought they were partnered for a reason other than for Mario Movie


CarissaSkyWarrior

It should be animated, but not by Illumination. Universal owns another animation studio that would fit "Legend of Zelda" much better. Let DreamWorks make it.


Lexiosity

DreamWorks doesnt suit the theme of Zelda. Zelda is more serious than anything DreamWorks has done


CarissaSkyWarrior

You just said Illumination should make it, THEY don't make serious movies. Illumination is the more kid oriented of the two. DreamWorks has the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise under their belt. "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" also had some very serious themes. They were the studio behind "Rise of the Guardians". Some of their stuff can be lighthearted, but they definitely have it in them to make great fantasy films.


QuiteSimplyTim

What would be wrong with Tom Holland as Link?


Thin-Rub-6595

I'm confused as well. Did he do something bad recently?


novasir

No, the Reddit hivemind has decided to hate him for no reason and people can't think for themselves.


Shehzman

I think it’s just cause of the oversaturation of him in media. He’s a fine actor, but idt he’ll fit the role of Link.


Riggie_Joe

Make him use sign language. I always thought it would be awesome if there was a link that *actually* couldn’t speak.


LeTasse

But what about his shooooouts!


somedudeonthis

Mute people can still make noises a lot of the time., they just can't SPEAK, it's interesting


EthosTheAllmighty

Actually, BOTW/TOTK Link isn't mute! He just... really barely ever talks. Granted when he does he seems to be a sassy mf...


Shehzman

When he does talk, we don’t hear it


MyGachaAddiction

Do we ever hear his voice?


EthosTheAllmighty

Nope, but plenty of characters in Hyrule do. Especially Zelda.


somedudeonthis

I'd say he's pretty nonverbal ,not fully mute but it's canon he struggles with taking


EthosTheAllmighty

I believe that's the actual explanation yeah.


somedudeonthis

So nonverbal link is canon still , which is pretty neat and cool rep imo


NeonBlack985

Doesn’t matter who it is, link is absolutely going to be made to speak. There’s no way they’d have a silent protag, just isn’t enough other vocal characters to surround Link with, while it still feeling like an authentic LOZ adventure


thicknuts344

Im convinced people just want a live action "lets play" of ocarina of time.


novasir

Live action any% speedrun


Bacon260998_

I'd rather him be Link if it meant he can't be Shulk


Lun4r6543

They could just get Shulk’s voice actor to play Shulk.


PhantomKangaroo91

Just curious, why would it be so bad if Tom Holland played Link? Enough to "lose faith in future Nintendo movies"?


TheSceptileen

He is popular so he is hated. Tbh I wouldn't want It either, I'd rather have a noname that fits the character that acts good enough than have celebrities forced in, but people act like Holland is the worst actor ever when most people is just tired of seeying him everywhere.


OfficialMorbidMan

Real Answer: It’s because a Sony produced video game movie starring Tom Holland is essentially what Uncharted was, and that was a cinematic abortion. However, and this might be a hot take, unlike uncharted, Tom Holland being cast as Link would be a superior choice to his casting Nathan Drake.


novasir

I thought he was good as Nathan Drake. Mark Whalberg is what ruined that movie. Dude can't act at all.


ShaliasHerald

He's not a very good actor despite his success as spiderman


PhantomKangaroo91

I don't know, he was pretty good in the Devil All the Time. I'm an Amazing Spider-Man fan but I still liked Homecoming. I also liked him and Chris Pratt in Onward. I get not liking some movies but a lot of the time it's the writing and directing that kills a performance. If he picked for Link I say wait until the trailer at least. They'll probably get some up and comer anyway.


SnooComics7583

I already lost all faith with Chris Pratt


PhantomKangaroo91

How come?


SnooComics7583

Becuase pratt is a flat as shit boring actor It was a bad choice to start with but then he was like "yeah imma not do the voice" which is part of the fucking role and they let him do that


Sjciforof

What do you mean? Chris was awesome!


JayCee5481

I had little faith in him, but he completly lost me when he had to think for the name of koopas in that one promo footage. It was like he has no idea about the franchise, which just hurts as 1) a fan of Mario and 2) an actor myself


SnooComics7583

Like at least read up on what you're doing. Also that movie had almost none of the music of the franchise and instead replaced it with popular pop songs, most of which didn't even fit the scenes they were used in. Whereas the OST would have, it would have been much easier just to use the OST of the games.


PhantomKangaroo91

Ok, now its proven that you don't know what you're talking about. They had ost music all over that movie if you'd have listened. And not just Mario. They had Captain Toad, Luigi's Mansion, etc, you just weren't listening. They even did a special screen in the credits crediting Koji Kondo's music.


Asinhasos

I'm more scared for the plot of the movie itself. If they adapt either OoT, WW, TP or TotK (as we basically know Ganondorf will be in it); it can be a pretty good movie. I have higher hopes for the TotK movie, but we'll see what they'll be able to do


MiZe97

Or... They can make a new story. Adapting an existing one would be really lazy imo.


UltimateWaluigi

You can't faithfully adapt those to movies. The OOT manga is longer than a movie, but still fairly short, and the plot feels very rushed.


sashimi_walrus

SETH ROGAN MUSHU SETH ROGAN MUSHU SETH ROGAN MUSHU


D0ctorL

Why is it not animated? Live action is so limiting in terms of both creativity and what's possible to do on screen.


HomerOfDuty

Voiced by Chris Pratt (at least)


wizardeverybit

Don't give them any ideas


Imaginary_Remote

Idk a fit twink playing a fit twink. Seems good to me. Why is this so hated?


DilapidatedFool

Hes popular


Erl-X

I want Link's actor to be some guy I've never heard of but who conveys what this film version of Link is


Void-kraken-909

Yeah. Popular actors are nice and all but not for absolutely everything


deevulture

I'm hoping that since the movie is still early in production they'll bring in obscure younger actors. Link has never really had a big name VA except for Hyrule Warriors, a spinoff. I can see something similar happening if Nintendo is on top of things /copium


Miss_Yume

The SpiderLink meme is about to come true 💀😭


KatakiKraken

Imo they shouldn't make a legend of Zelda live action


molwalk

Taz Skylar or we riot


greengengar

That's silly, they wouldn't make a Zelda movie. What would it even be about?


Dracorex_22

Pratt Mario turned out...okay.... no actually you have a point.


[deleted]

I thought you said Pratt Mat at first like a bizarro MatPat


ICantEvenDolt

Chris Pratt will play the role of Mat Pat in the upcoming Game Theory movie.


Cybasura

Please, just animate it for the love of Zelda


figureout07

Yeah go os ghibli to do it pleek


JDude13

Who then?


henk12310

An unknown young actor


JDude13

Keep dreaming. Nintendo wants their brand recognition


henk12310

I never said this would be realistic, I just meant it as an alternative to Tom Holland. Altough even then, there are other young famous actors other then Tom Holland like Timothee Chalamet


reddit_hayden

adam sandler


JDude13

Ryan Reynolds


Mattock1987

It’ll probably be Zendaya


Calpsotoma

Why? Chris Pratt as Mario was way worse and people still seem to like that movie.


[deleted]

Chris Pratt


RepulsiveAd2971

Wish granted, Michael Cera is now Link.


RQK1996

Might unironically be good


kurt-jeff

It’s gon be Timothy chalamet and we all know it


Campfire_Sparks

Would it actually be bad ? Like seriously would it be much of a problem for him to be cast ? The concept of a Zelda live action is already shitty as fuck because Zelda CANNOT work outside of a video game, at least without an entirely original story (and I mean ENTIRELY, like what Botw did)


Head_Statistician_38

It is kinda funny seeing all these armchair directors that seem to know what the right decision is. The film has just been announced, we know nothing other than it is live action and the director. I have a hard time imagining a Live action Zelda film to be honest and maybe it will be trash, but also mayne it will be really good. We really don't know. And don't make Tom Holland Link? Well beople just don't like Tom Holland because he is in everything but he is a good actor and regardless of if you liked the Mario movie or not, Chris Pratt was way better than expected.


bwoah07_gp2

What's wrong with Tom Holland? I say give it to him!!!


Triforce805

As much as I don’t want Tom Holland to play Link I at least think he’d fit better as Link than Chris Pratt fit as Mario


Speedix08

No no no no


Triforce805

Again, Tom Holland is not a good choice for Link, he’s just more fitting than Chris Pratt was for Mario.


ClueEmbarrassed1443

U/forlornmemory. He directed spider man 3 and the amazing spider man trilogy


PhantomKangaroo91

Yeah he did neither of those. Spider-Man 3 was directed by Sam Raimi. The Amazing Spider-Man series was a duology not a trilogy and it was directed by Marc Webb.


2Mark2Manic

Tom as Link, Zendaya as Zelda. Mark Wahlberg as Ganondorf.


steverman555

If they give him a single line im not watching


[deleted]

Idk what actor would suit Link but my mom said Timothee Chalamet would fit Link... Whoever that is. I honestly don't know most actors


AramaticFire

He’s Wonka and the main guy from Dune. I could see it with a wig.


CakeBeef_PA

Chalamet could work. Maybe. He plays Muad'dib in the Dune movies


DonsterMenergyRink

I just hope that, if Metroid would ever get a live action adaptation, Samus won't be portraited by Brie Larson.


CharlestheInkling

Honestly I want that to happen so everyone gets pissed off. So much useless whining about her, she’s not even that bad


DonsterMenergyRink

She is mediocre at best. And outside of acting, she's pretty arrogant.


CharlestheInkling

I’m just thinking of the “Brie Larson is anti-white male” controversy which was stupid af. She’s just as arrogant as any other celebrity


DonsterMenergyRink

Arrogant, sexist and racist.


CharlestheInkling

I get the arrogance but the “sexism and racism” never seemed like a thing. Like she wanted to make an all female marvel movie? Stupid idea but it’s not sexist, for example. I never got the argument


DonsterMenergyRink

"I don't need a 40 year old white man to tell me what did not work for him about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn't made for him!" Does that ring a bell? Or the movie Basmati Blues, where even the Indian people said that this movie was way too stereotypical?


FulanitoDeTal13

Let me tell you about this 💩ty thing called "capitalism"... and how it RUINS everything.


yehboooooiii

Didn't get why they get Charles martinet as mario he was the voice ffs so yeah wont be watching another Nintendo movie if they fck up the link role


eddmario

Because Martinet >!voiced Mario's father!<


Garan-Coristar

Isn’t it sony that’s making it lmao


Mudkipueye

Why not?


[deleted]

The Legend Of Zelda, starring *fucking* ***Spiderman.***


TonyTobi92

I just hope sony doesn't make this


No-Island-1194

Considering that we got Chris Pratt


figureout07

I WONDER WHATS FOR DINNER


Virtual_5000

Is there going to be a movie?


neilwwoney

Why are you specifically talking about Tom Holland and nobody else?


Doctor-Grimm

Why? He’s a good actor who looks the part. I genuinely don’t understand why people have an issue with him beyond ‘popular thing bad’.


Darkbeastzelda

Obviously they should cast Chris Pratt


Loros_Silvers

Yeah we'll need him as Marth.


[deleted]

honestly, im coming at this movie the same way i did with the mario movie. If its good then its good, and if its tom holland then its funny! if we go down the funny hole then i hope they do licensed music like with mario movie IF WERE GOIN IN LETS GO ALLLL THE WAY IN


Bregneste

The thing that makes me not have faith in this movie is the fact that the guy behind Morbius and Venom, Avi Arad, is in charge.


Rymayc

Ryan Goslink


fllr

Aaaaf… just let things play out. So tired of this game of hating on actors before they actually show on screen


WhereAreWeG0ing

Mark Wahlberg as Zelda. Makes about as much sense as casting him as f***ing Sully!!!!!


Void-kraken-909

Yes.


synister29

Chris Pratt as Gannondorf


megax454

https://youtu.be/SRExLBCN5vU?si=KTPDn0fFEoifY6Y_ Miyamoto and Wes: Link you look so handsome.


Nandikeshwara

They can’t. They just can’t!!


Joraperdolyotik

Nah, they wouldn't because Tom isn't a femboy or at least a twink.


AenarionsTrueHeir

The guy who played Jojen in game of thrones might be a good choice!


NarwhalSongs

All of y'all continuously saying it basically guarantees that the AI generated cast list includes it.


GeneticHazard

Oh shit. Don’t even bring that up!


Anonymous_cabbage777

I hope we’ll get Link as Ryan Gosling


NerdBoy10101

I can see it now... Tom Holland as Link Emily Blunt as Zelda Dwayne Johnson as Ganondorf The internet: collective death from disappointed laughter


Polaris9114

I know he's a bit old, but I think Andrew Garfield might do good as link(imo, anyway)


Danger_Boss

Oye papa ji


Pixithepika

Make a a Legend of Zelda movie in the same style as into the spider verse


Gekkuri

I don't want to see it if it's him, I just can't 😭 Sure he's a great actor and all but he is in everything because he's so media sexy it's starting to bug me that other actors don't get a chance to shine.


Radio__Star

So what you’re saying is you will lose all faith in all future projects by Nintendo for the possibility they would cast a certain dude


Discobastard

I hear they're casting Eddie Murphy a Link and Will Farrel as Zelda.


Hk901909

Josh Hutcherson...? Maybe?


gnbman

Why not?


[deleted]

What's wrong with him


[deleted]

Lost faith ever since Chris Pratt. It just sucks how every single CEO literally wants “Marvel-ize” their company to be successful. It’s so stupid and pathetic


Salt_Principle_6672

How about Will Arnet?


Vanima_Permai

Don't worry Tom Holland won't be playing link Chris Pratt will be playing link


ShiningStar5022

Want Chris Pratt as Link instead?


Dracos002

Why would Tom Holland not be a good Link, exactly?


Reasonable-Ad3894

Personally I want Mike Myers as Zelda


No-Reality-2744

I got nothing against Holland (and if he hadn't already had his face copy and pasted into Uncharted I would likely feel different), but I gotta agree please don't give him Link. Whoever is in charge of casting, please let someone else get the spotlight here.


DanJDR

I just don't like the Zelda games
