Elijah wood as Link. I mean I would do it I wouldn't be any good but I would do it. Kinda sad the Nintendo Cinematic Universe won't happen with Legend of Zelda being under Sony. (Link is The NCU's Spider-man now.)

Yeah I could see that. He's a great actor and he's got experience working in beloved fantasy worlds. Doesn't hurt that he also doesn't seem to age, so plenty of scope to do sequels!

I'm definitely interested. I'm not super precious about Zelda and I don't really mind if they give Link a voice. Given that it's the same producer as the Spider-Man films, and most importantly, Spider-Verse, I'm very interested in the look of the film. If they give it that level of care, and use Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom as the inspiration for the aesthetic, I think it could be really special.

That was the thing that stood out for me as well. I love the style of the Spider-Verse, so I imagine they'd bring that same care.

They say live action, but I wonder how stylised it will be? I wouldn't want it to go full A Scanner Darkly, but a bit of extra flair might be nice.

Oh man, I missed that point. I'm a bit less excited for it now! I worry that a live action version of Zelda will risk looking a little tacky, kinda like the live action One Piece. Absolutely love A Scanner Darkly, but I agree I don't think that would necessarily work for Zelda

Oh no, I didn't mean to ruin it 😅

There's always the risk they go full Super Mario Bros, but I'm sure they'll give it the proper treatment!
