Shame. I was hoping for an animated movie much like what this person is doing.

Wasn't sure where else to put this, but RwanLink - who put the trailer for this together - has shown off more of what their Castle Town looks like...and gimmegimmegimme

It looks beautiful :cry:

I don't even think that Link & Zelda should be in the movie all that much. They should be semi-mythical figures that show up in the background (or at the last minute) to kick some ass.

Instead, the story should be about some villagers trying to survive Ganon's onslaught.

Now this would be a Zelda film that I'd absolutely love to watch: :cool:

Also, Lol @ Tingle! :laughing:

Sure as hell nothing like what we're going to end up getting, but with AI generated video improving so damn quickly at least there's a chance that an entire film in that style could be created some day.

Nintendo Today! already getting some use, damn. Really wasn't expecting anything of substance until after the Switch 2 Direct. 

Lovely little 25-second clip backed with the classic Zelda theme. Kind of shocked they haven't posted it to their YouTube channel, at the very least as a Short.

Filming in New Zealand from November this year until April of next year, with a brief description of the film sounding like it could be most Zelda games :p

Per FTIA's Production List:

  Quote

Shoot Date: November 04, 2025 to April 07, 2026

Locations: New Zealand

Project Summary:

A live-action adaptation of the video game franchise. ‘The Legend of Zelda’ follows Link, a young warrior destined to protect the magical kingdom of Hyrule from the forces of darkness. The land is under threat from Ganon, a ruthless warlord who seeks the Triforce—an ancient relic said to grant limitless power. To stop him, Link must embark on a perilous journey, battling monstrous creatures, exploring treacherous dungeons, and solving intricate puzzles to uncover sacred artifacts that can aid him in his quest.

Very curious to see how the puzzles translate to the big screen. Linkiana Jones?

DanielRPK (Daniel Richtman) shared on his Patreon that this project is planned to be a trilogy of films released over six years, and with the aim of major roles unsurprisingly being cast for the entire trilogy. 

(Not going to link someone's Patreon, so here's the VGC article on the topic)

Would be amusing if each film was unrelated to the others and had different actors playing Link.

Hmm, a trilogy of fantasy movies, filmed in New Zealand...

Nah, never heard of it before.

NO WAIT! This is disasterous! Peter Jackson's gonna call them out for trying to ape his most famous movie, that he filmed in that country!

Nah, they're going to get Jackson (and Serkis) back together again to film the live action Donkey Kong Country film instead. Serkis will be every character.
