>Hunter Schafer will be Zel-ACK
Now that that has be proven false who will Nintendo cast as the titular characters?

>>211556133 (OP)
Snood shall play both roles.

I still fucking hate that this is going to be live action instead of animated.

key and peele as zelda and girl zelda

SNOODCHADS, OUR TIME IS NOW

>>211556133 (OP)
Some no names most likely. They'll get a big star as Ganondorf.

>>211556264
Same. The fan animations are amazing.

trannysisters… the reports where false

>>211556476
it was worth it making chuds seethe

>>211556320
It's joever for her, they likely want at least a trilogy out of this, can't have a 30 year old zelda by the time the third film comes around.

>>211556582
No chuds seethed, we won.

>>211556133 (OP)
you and i both know they are going to cast zelda as the crustiest, jeetiest, hook nose.

>>211556329

Cat him

>>211556178
>>211556320
>here's your zelda bro
Easily as bad as the tranny

>>211556133 (OP)
Rumor is it’s pic rel. 17 years old
I haven’t seen her in anything but I guess she could be decent

>>211556264
This. More specifically 2D animation.

>>211556842
Nintendo won't allow Zelda to be a shade of brown thoughever

>>211556133 (OP)
I feel Ever Anderson is the obvious choice for Zelda. She’s the right age and her mother has starred in several Japanese vidya adaptations, so she’s groomed for the part

>>211556264
The only right way to do a live-action Zelda would be to make it a Jim Henson Creature Shop thing. Twilight Princess's production design already had a Brian Froud quality to it.

>>211556909
>those eyebrows
breath of the wild confirmed canon, i hope she has a fat ass too

>>211556133 (OP)
I hope there's no whites, shame they went to hollywood instead of making it in hollywood instead of japan because an all japanese making the wignats seethe, piss, shit and cry that umm ackshually all elves and gnomes and goblins have to be played by blonde haired blue eyed whites would be funny as hell.

>>211556133 (OP)
McKenna Grace will be cast as Zelda confirmed. Kennychads always win

>>211556843
>Cat him
IdrHiss Elba

>>211557045
Fucking hope not, nepo retardness aside can't act at all. She can barely talk she's borderline actually retarded.

>>211556133 (OP)
Will Link speak in the movie?

>>211556898
Looks cute for me.

>>211556133 (OP)
ganon and link will be some scrawny chinless white hollyweird put in everything now.

>>211557060
Good, but not great

>>211556898

Wring tranny. It will be Kai Schreiber

Idris Elba and Gal Gadot

>>211557314
Bad skin. Not fit for a Hylian princess descendant of the Goddess.

>>211556898
Yeah that's my Zelda, just give her blonde hair

>>211557365
yes, but Nigris Elbow plays Zelda and Ghoul Gadot plays Ganondorf.

>>211557236
>SAAAR The bloody Britishers do not redeem their chin

>>211556329
Is there any big star from the middle east? Because that's clearly where Ganondorf is from.

Jack Black as Link then

>>211557594
>Green guy who turns into a big fat pig
Sounds like Blumpf to me

>>211557055
This would be a terrible idea. Grow up you funko pop buying faggot. Get some taste while your at it.

>>211556264
Same.

>>211556329
Jason Momoa

>>211556133 (OP)
At that age range, they're almost definitely casting unknowns (which is a good thing)

>>211557776
>T-t-the funny elf movie based off videotoys for children is TOO MATURE for p-p-puppets!!!!!
LOL, LMFAO

>>211556843
Idris Elba would unironically be great
Jack Black as Tingle

The good ending
>Diverse cast of all PoC from America and maybe Japan
The bad ending
>All white cringecels from England and Ireland

>>211557776
almost got some quads but your bad post prevented it, tsk

Jack Black as Darunia so he can sing and dance.

Rob Schneider as Beedle

does Zelda even have a story?

>>211558092

>>211557776
Japan's love of pointy eared elves and magical crystals comes from The Dark Crystal, which was the highest grossing film in that country in the early 80s. Just as foundational to their take on western fantasy tropes as D&D

>>211556133 (OP)
Literal who unknown teenagers from Ireland and Britain who are ethnically traced back to Celtic peoples on the islands.

>>211558379
how the FUCK have they not adapted this into a film yet? that's high concept gold.

>>211558475
this except they should be pacific islanders who can rap

>>211558475
Why Celtic specifically rather than Scandinavian or some other white ethnicity?

>>211558475
Celts aren't blonde, though.

>>211558288
Why do you think there's so much autism about trying to assemble a timeline of the games?

>>211558475
>Celtic
Based. It will be summer as zelda confirmed

It’s time for her Oscar

>>211558716
Scandinavians will play the fish people.

If Hunter, McKenna, and Snood are all different iterations of Zelda then who would be the goddess Hylia?

>>211558789
…because theres no story, just a bunch of games that share similar elements so they can belong in the same series with the most basic of A-B ‘defeat the evil bad guy’ plots

>>211559074
Elon Musk

>>211558288
It’s an anthology

>>211558288
Every one of them is a self contained story.

The three potential outcomes are a new story thats implied to take place somewhere in the timeline, an adaptation of an already existing game, or a new story that exists completely outside the timeline.

>omg he looks just like her!
>a tranny with tons of makeup, hormones, and surgery can change their appearance!? Holy shit wow!

Anyone who thought they were going to purposely tank their movie by casting a tranny as THE Princess Zelda was beyond retarded.

>>211559424
It'll be a new story set outside the timeline but autists will keep pestering Nintendo to tell them where it fits on the timeline so they'll shove in in between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess to get them to shutup.

>>211559623
Logically that would be impossible for reasons I won’t get into but any story that would be in the timeline would fit after all the old games but before botw/totk

>>211559509
would get me to see the movie, out of a weird curiosity.

>>211559509
it generated a ton of discourse and interest in the movie, at least. and made hunter more famous

>>211556843
>Cat him

>>211562982
She's ugly as fuck and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

>>211556843
Ganondorf is based off of Christopher Lambert

>>211559424
The only game that can be a stand alone movie with potential sequels or spinoffs is Ocarina, not even an OOTfag but it's the truth

>>211558288
I've played about all of them and the only ones with interesting stories are Majora's Mask and Wind Waker. Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time were okay. guess skyward sword had enough to work with.

Only good zeldas were 2D so who gives a shit

>>211557045
FUCK no
Keep that family away from video game films

>>211556264
I’m more concerned about it being overly epic with excessive war scenes that will make the movie feel generic. Zelda was never that, it was never grand scale wars, it was always personal battles between Link and a boss or a few enemies at a time.

Pedro Pascal has been picked for Ganondorf!!!

I went to water aerobics at the pool today, and there were at least 5 girls that were prettier than any of the actresses posted here

>>211561940
They're great, high fantasy adventure type stuff.
Breath of the Wild is the best selling one(and probably the second option for which game they're getting the story from), but it's kind of overwhelming if you've never played a Zelda game before.
Start with Ocarina of Time, the one that's always at the top of every "Best Video Game Ever Made" list.

>>211558026
Jack Black as a wandering bard, trying to compose a song worthy of the Hero's epic.
Shows up a few times through the movie, strumming his instrument and trying a few lines, never quite feeling it.
Shows up after the finale, announcing he finally nailed it, and starts singing-

A classic.

What about Stella Grace Fitzgerald? She's 15, that's close to the range.

arguing about casting for zelda is pointless when link is who's going to be on screen 99% of the time. they'd better get someone hot.

>>211572603
Yeah Snood should play Link.

>>211572603
We all know this movie is going to be girl power woke as shit.

>>211572922

>>211572958
SHUT UP

>>211572958
Something something Mario fell over in the trailer on his first time doing an obstacle course, girl boss girl boss something

>>211572973
But seriously, even if they lean into that, it's hardly without precedent in the games. in the two most successful ones she's shown to be on par with the other two major players, and some of her other more iconic appearances also have her as a combatant.
I don't think they'll do a real team-up though; Nintendo is pretty wedded to Link being the hero on his own with Zelda helping laterally, if she's directly involved at all.

if the tranny plays zelda i am going to be very upset.

I see the movie failing no matter what. They can go the easy route make it goofy and not take itself seriously like cape shit but thats not zelda. They can attempt to make it magical like tom cruise legend but good fucking luck making it work with 16-23 year old actors.

>>211573417
That was how old Tom Cruise and Mia Sara were at the time.
Personally I'd like it to be at least a little goofy. Maybe he builds a flying bike and keeps crashing into trees and cliffs.

>>211572922
No, it won't. Will Zelda be a helpless damsel that only appears at the start and end of the film as a captive of Ganon's? No. Will she be the protagonist instead of Link? Also no. She'll be a supporting character, and likely draw from her Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom version that did scholarly stuff as well as magic like many versions of her, while drawing on her usual regal princess in hiding role like Ocarina of Time or ALTTP.

>>211573417
>I see the movie failing no matter what.
That's what you said about Mario.

>>211572366

So by the time the third and final movie releases in 6 years, she'll be nearly 30 years old.
lmao nah, she ain't getting it. Too old.

>>211574293
You forgot Pedro Pascal

>>211559424
If they're looking to make a safe throwaway cashgrab trilogy, it'll be Breath of The Wild, or an original story heavily inspired by Breath of The Wild.
But if they actually want to establish a solid cinematic universe for the next 10-20 years though, it kind of has to be Ocarina of Time. It has all of those direct timeline sequels attached to it, and they're ripe for movie and TV potential.

Just occured to me, if they pull this off, this could actually be a worthy replacement for the Star Wars franchise. Just a simple fairy tale thing, about a boy going on an adventure, gaining a magic sword, and saving a princess.

Nearly all of those sound like they're going to be total crap. The only one I have any genuine hope for is the Edlen Ring flick and the D&D series, if only because the latter got a decent blockbuster flick.

>>211556133 (OP)
I want this to be an ocarina of time inspired movie so bad. My biggest fear and prediction is we’ll be getting a breath of the wild inspired movie tho. Link will wear his boring new redesigned blue clothes and no hat. I fear it’s going to be an overly “epic” movie with giant scale wars, quips, marvel humour and too much generic/fake looking green screen/cgi set pieces. A Zelda movie deserves to have beautiful on location filming like lord of the rings, with a fantastical fantasy atmosphere and vibe with top notch set design and production values. But I fear it’ll look like a marvel movie with a soulless generic fantasy setting that feels like rings of power or wheel of time.

>>211573887
This isn't being made by Japan, it's a Hollyslop feature, which means it's going to be full of liberal politics and girl power.

>>211578274
Too bad none of them will be good.

>>211580238
I want this to be an ocarina of time inspired movie so bad.

The 16-23 age range already suggests that it won't be. Unless if they're keeping their cards hidden or they've already hired the actors for Young Link and Zelda, then this almost assures that the movie trilogy will be heavily based off of BoTW slop.
On the bright side, there's a very high chance the movies are going to suck or be forgettably mediocre at best, so I'd rather have them ruin the modern Zelda titles than any of the classic ones.

>>211580255
stop being retarded

>>211580445
not sure why you're pretending the visual age range is different for any of the major zeldas apart from wind waker.

>>211580496
>visual age range
>not mattering in fucking OoT of all games

You're baiting but fine, I'll take it this time. It's the only other major Zelda game outside of Wind Waker where appropriate age ranges actually matter.

>>211580255
Oh yeah just like how Mario was supposedly not going to be the hero in the Mario movie because the youtube said so. Something something "girl boss" right?

>>211557045
I'd take that Zelda

>>211580255
No, you idiot. This isn't 1993. Nintendo are hands-on with this new venture into filmmaking and are highly protective of their properties, too much so at times (see their stances on fan games and emulation). They want these films to succeed, and thus they are playing it safe, both as films and as adaptations. The Mario film used a reliable animation studio for putting out hit films at a reasonable budget, it used familiar big names for the cast, it stuck to a simple familiar animated film formula, and was very faithful to the Super Mario Bros video games, both visually and tonally. The result was a big success.

Legend of Zelda will be the same in terms of making a reliable safe film that sticks closely to the style of the video games. There are some additional parameters due to it being live action, namely that it can't just cast major Hollywood names as everyone, now at minimum Link and Zelda are likely to be unknown actors in their teens, and while some big names will no doubt be in the supporting role, they'll have to be matched by more than just a voice. It will also not be able to do the semi-irreverent tone of post-Shrek animated films (though Mario was played more straight than people expected, they still did a few typical things like including standard famous rock or pop songs in scenes), both because it's live action and because it would go against the high fantasy tone. So while it won't be dark and gritty, expect it to be played as a more straightforward fantasy flick than a comedy.

Fittingly, the tone of Legend (1985) is what they ought to go for. In any case, if you're expecting black Zelda and Indian Link, you are a fool. Nintendo will want them to be faithful to the video games, to avoid divisive elements and ensure the greatest chance of succeeding. As for the tranny, only utter retards and disingenuous virtue signalers ever took that seriously.

>>211563548
If you're a gaylord then that's OK. This is the 2020s where gaylords are fairly accepted as inevitable in most societies, some even let uphill gardeners, like yourself marry other men. you don't have to use Polari style dog whistles to tell everyone you're a shit-stabber, like its some big secret.

Also who cares if you don't find sexy women attractive? Assuming you're male thats one less person for the rest of us to compete with for access to her vag of honour.

>>211581058
>They want these films to succeed, and thus they are playing it safe, both as films and as adaptations.

Not the anon you replied to, but they already fucked it up by hiring Avi Arad as the lead producer and Derek Connolly as the lead screenwriter. And this isn't a Mario, Minecraft or Sonic scenario where they can just rely on kids and by extension, general family audiences to retain legs or huge box office numbers. Zelda doesn't innately draw-in kids like those other aforementioned game franchises do - it genuinely has to be decent, or it will fall short. Playing it too safe like the Mario Bros. movie could heavily backfire in this regard.

>>211581058
>if you're expecting black Zelda and Indian Link, you are a fool.

In the games links skintone and features has been getting more and more Japanese, so a mixed race European and Oriental actor is a strong possibility if they are casting a fairly unknown actor for the role.

I'm guessing the biggest influences from the franchise on the film will be
>The Legend of Zelda: The original, while simple it is still a fine starting point to draw on, the lone hero on a quest across a dangerous land for parts of a magic treasure, it's always a good point to begin, especially as your broad canvas, avoiding too much "video game gameplay" structure.
>Ocarina of Time: The most famous game in the series, I don't expect an adaptation of this one directly, but rather it to inform the overall tone and general setup of Hyrule as far as its people, locations etc go, perhaps some very broad plot elements
>Breath of the Wild: The biggest selling game of the series, again I don't expect a direct adaptation plot or character wise, but I think it will inform a lot of the visuals of the film, the scope of Hyrule, a lot of the general designwork, etc, it's already much larger and more cinematic than previous entries. I think Zelda will also draw on some of her portrayal here, to beef up her role while keeping Link the fantasy hero
The other entries in the series are more likely to be individual designs, monsters, characters, props, easter eggs, etc, than broad influence.

It will be breath of the wild. They are going after zoomers and younger after all. They want another Minecraft movie.

>>211566647
Oh it will, I thought the recent Mario movie was good but yeah they are going to be way too safe with this movie where they'll pull out the tropes like this. If we get an ending with a Link and Ganon fight solo, without some army battle in the background, I'd be surprised. I can already imagine some moderately recognizable actor playing the King of Hyrule commanding the troops to charge.

>>211581259
Zelda as a series has never been bigger than it is right now. Its last two games exploded in popularity and sold some absurd amount, 20+ million each. When I say playing it safe, I don't mean doing exactly the same things the Mario movie did, that film played it safe as a animated kids film, this will be playing it safe as a straightforward nice fantasy adventure film that sticks closely to the visuals and tone of the video games. A little more bite than the very comedic Mario, but still family friendly. Maybe around the tone of the Chronicles of Narnia movies, or the midpoint of the Harry Potter films (not the grey later ones)

>>211581356
Breath of the Wild does not remotely have anything resembling the tone of the Minecraft Movie.

>>211581058
>Avi Arad
There's an extremely low chance this turns out good and an even lower chance the casting isn't some 'controversial' bullshit to drum up conversation and attention for it.

>>211581326
Something I firmly expect them to take from OoT is to have Ganondorf as the villain so that he can be a human actor for almost all the film, and transform into Ganon at the end for the final showdown, as was done in OoT.

>>211566647
will there be a 3rd act skybeam?

>>211581475
didn't you say the exact same shit for Illumination? nonstop talk of "it will be Minions and pop culture references!" then it wound up being very faithful to Mario and not anything close to the old Kesha greentext
there were mass market appeal aspects, like the big name cast, but it was about what a Mario cartoon movie would be expected to be

>>211572922
Yeah, I didn't think about that. They will change Zelda to suit the agenda and give her plenty of screen time and empowerment for representation for the little girls watching.

>>211581676
>didn't you say the exact same shit for Illumination?
No, I didn't. This isn't animation. The were literally forced to be on model with the Mario characters. Live action is a completely different story.

Skyward Sword would be perfect for a Hollywood adaptation but no one wants to accept that.

>>211581736
how is "Zelda is more than just a damsel that appears at the end of the movie and has a role and a character" girl power shit?
they'll draw on some of BOTW mixed with her usual role, she'll be the royal princess in her pink dress, but also get some adventuring clothes and do scholarly stuff to help Link like the BOTW Zelda. I really don't see what the issue is there. Ganondorf also will have a little more than just generic evil too, because it's a movie and roles need a little more meat on them.

>>211580238
I've had that exact idea for ocarina of time movie in my head for like 15 years with OT Star Wars level practical effects and very little CGI. It's never going to be made like that but I really wish it would be.

>>211581736
No little girls are going to see this fucking movie. This is going to be entirely watched by middle aged men.

>>211581768
No, windwaker would be perfect

>>211581738
Nintendo are highly protective of their properties, nowadays more than ever. If they were this tightly controlling on keeping Mario looking like Mario, I don't see why they would not be the same on keeping Zelda looking like Zelda
Live action or not. Will Link's green tunic be a bright garish green? No, it'll be a little more muted in its green shade. Will he remain a blonde white kid with pointy ears? Yes.

>>211581282
>Anon doesn't know that Nintendo's developers willingly based the Hero of Time - THE OG pretty boy Link design - directly after Leonardo DiCaprio

Nah, he's definitely going to be white twunk, 100%.
Also Japan didn't give a damn about Zelda series for years until BoTW came along; who gives a fuck about what they think. They aren't the prime target audience, that's the west and it always will be. And Japanese women love hot white men, so he'll still be white regardless.

>>211581459
The problem is that Zelda's fans and consumers generally stray in the older tween-to-adult range. It's not the kind of IP that your average 6-12 year old, ADHD-ridden kid is innately invested in. And thanks to kids having absolutely dogshit standards, those other game adaptations were able to get away with being typical corporate garbage. Zelda, less so. I'm sure the first movie will do well regardless, but if they want to establish a successful trilogy, let alone a successful cinematic universe in an era of streaming services making movie theaters obsolete, they'll actually have to try a little bit more with this one. I'm still expecting something incredibly safe, forgettable, cringey and bland regardless.

>>211581736
>the agenda
What "agenda" is it to have the second most important character have a role in the film? Of course Princess Zelda is going to have a significant supporting role in the film. It would be retarded not to. It's not going to be Link walking around alone the entire film, or with a little fairy telling him how to Z target.

>>211581804
>I really don't see what the issue is there
Because they'll fuck it up trying to push an agenda.

>>211581859
We know that, but they need to target the fabled modern audience to make their stakeholders happy.

If it’s OOT I hope Seth Rogan voices that stupid fucking owl.

>>211581862
Not really. Wind Waker relies on it following up previous games like ALTTP or OOT. It's theme of letting go of the past instead of staying stagnant forever doesn't really make sense for a "first movie". You're not gonna do a first Zelda film and not have it set in Hyrule with the familiar recurring landmarks.

>>211581912
Why do you keep talking about "agendas"? Zelda has had bigger roles in games going on nearly 30 years. She had a significant supporting role in OoT, in 1998, 29 years before this film is scheduled to open. Same again in Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, Hyrule Warriors (if you wish to count that), before even getting to Breath of the Wild.

>>211582020
>Why do you keep talking about "agendas"?
Because I know they will ruin this movie with agendas.

>muh agenda
Zelda has been in drag since the 90s. Fuck now even Link does drag too.

>>211581864
>If they were this tightly controlling on keeping Mario looking like Mario,
Because it was animation. They couldn't not have it look like the current games that were out. It would make no sense. If they made a live action Mario the casting would have been atrocious, just like this will be.

>>211581912
They'll go the Sheik route for Zelda, 100%.
>panders to Hollwood's agenda for strong badass women
>free advertisement tie-in for Super Smash Bros. Sheik
>a literal ninja, so you can get some really interesting fighting or stealth scenes involving her

But most of all, it already happened in one of the most iconic games. A game from fucking 1998 to be exact, well before all of the culture ware bullshit occurred. So bringing it back wouldn't trash the lore or upset fans in the slightest.
I'll be completely fine with it too. It'll be amusing seeing all of the grifter chuds on youtube getting absolutely decimated and doxxed by hardcore Nintendo autists if they actually are dumb enough to drag this into social media's limelight.

>>211582230
Why does it being live action mean Link can't be a blonde kid in a green tunic with a sword?

>>211581893
>Japanese women love hot white men

Likely they'll go for a Welsh actor if thats really going to be such a big factor, because to the Japanese Wales is a mystical land of magic, castles and men with extremely girthy penises. It opens a lot of doors in Japan if they find out you're Welsh. When I was there on the JET program for the first month or so hardly anyone was talking to me, then when I mentioned to a female member of staff where I had come from she told her friends and within days I was drowning in slightly shy, awkward offers from the unmarried female members of staff to go to "karioki" (this did not necessarily mean actually karioki). As a fairly average looking Welshman, and possessing the "ancestral qualities" they were seeking, I was like a super hero or something to them, it was such a huge comedown when I went home to the UK and was treated as if I was a stegosaurus or something by women again.

>>211556133 (OP)

I know she is older than 23 but how about Halle Bailey from Disney's The Little Mermaid as Princess Zelda since she still looks like she is in her early 20s and late teens while Hunter Schafer is too old for the role.

>>211556809

Actually, some of you guys were sort of panicking with one of you telling a Hunter Schafer poster to F- off.

>>211585589

"As for the tranny, only utter retards and disingenuous virtue signalers ever took that seriously."

I only did that to get back at you guys for trolling me using Hunter Schafer, I was never really serious about the transwoman being Princess Zelda. If anything, the filmmakers were going to do the exact opposite and cast a biological female.

>Rural peasant boy is actually the hero of prophecy and must find a magic sword to save the princess from an evil king of sorcery

>>211589302
It wasn't a fumble because fans aren't the main target demographic for this, normies are.

This is being made for the people who don't play Zelda games, or don't even game at all. Western normies have slop taste just don't respect animation as a medium, period. And live-action adaptations almost always sell better than animated ones, even if they're hot dogshit. The latest Lilo & Stich live-action remake raking in over $800 million despite being a complete bastardization over the original animated movie's soul and themes says it all.

>>211582333
>mfw Link hasn’t worn green in almost a decade
this is the most egregious change in my opinion. then they have him a cool green toga in totk that immediately gets discarded after the tutorial island and can’t even be fucking upgraded . Make Link Green Again

>>211587736
I don’t even see why not. Nintendo is worth a gorillion dollars and almost everybody on the internet wants this. Probably just Japanese autistic pride or some shit preventing them from doing it

>>211589502

India and China are huge markets for movies now that weren't bothered with previously, AZNs make a big deal showing off so going to the big brand just to show off they went disney is a thing.

Hipsterism and Elitism is entirely a timmy affair, even if the west could outright reject something which would have once made a flop, thirdies who vaguely recognize the brand or know the corporation that made it will go out in droves, remakes, sequels and adaptions of established stuff will forever win more than ever and only increase as time goes on.

>>211575846
many such cases

>>211557060
she's 17

>>211589777
Not sure about the Chinese market, Nintendo's branding isn't nearly as strong there due to severe CCP restrictions. It could end up being another Star Wars scenario where the initial movie starts off strong with a sizeable box office, but rapidly fades over time thanks to general brand indifference.
A great deal of this movie's success in foreign markets is truly, unironically tied to who they hire for Link and Zelda. If they aren't extremely attractive, it's over.

Pretty much what this anon said >>211591632

The general narrative premise is very bog-standard: literal-who swordsman saves divine princess and her kingdom from a big world-ruing baddie through a combination of evil-vanquishing relics and plot devices.
What Zelda excels at, is throwing that same premise into crazy or whimsical set pieces that blend light-hearted and dark tones rather well.

They did butcher her personality she had in the games though.
In the games it's implied she can actually be a semi-competent leader when need be, but hides it behind a humble, albeit deceivingly ditzy, dumb blonde persona.
In the movie, she's just a straight-up arrogant girlboss.

At the very least, the targeted age-range for the leads suggests its going to be an adaptation of BoTW, or at the very least, heavily-inspired by it. I'd rather have them ruin the ubislop Zeldas by shitty movie associations, than any of the classic titles like OoT, ALTTP, LA, Zelda 1, WW, TP, etc.

didnt play either botw or totk, should i play both or just totk?

>>211583076
the mario movie was fun, you well-poisoning nigger.

>>211594785
Pick one and one only, because the the other will likely ruin your experience with whichever one you managed to beat first. If you play BoTW first, then ToTK will feel like an over-glorified asset flip DLC. If you play ToTK first, BoTW will feel like a barebones tech demo. Which just goes to show how much Nintendo fucked up developing these two Zeldas; there's literally no point for tendies to buy remasters of both games some 10 or 15 years down the line, because at the end of the day they're both the same basic game.

She's nothing but welcoming to Mario, him being the only other human she's seen in the Mushroom Kingdom, bonds with him in several scenes and flirts with him by later on, surrenders to Bowser when he invades and is a captive most of the rest of the film. Mario and Luigi defeat Bowser together.
