#there's a really delicate balance they're gonna have to strike here

[dittomander]

okay, but I feel like a live-action Zelda actually could really work IF it's similar in tone to the Dungeons and Dragons movie.

like yes by all means have big, high-stakes fantasy battles and serious moments of genuine grief and tragedy but it has got to wholeheartedly embrace the inherent silliness of the source material or it's just not gonna feel right.

#legend of zelda #the legend of zelda #loz #tloz #zelda movie #there's a really delicate balance they're gonna have to strike here #so that it doesn't dip too far into the direction of either completely irreverent or taking itself way too seriously #but look this is the franchise where even the 'dark gritty realistic' zelda game has stuff like sumo wrestling subplots and beyblades #and sexy tingle and teleporting nipple chickens and snowboarding yetis and a treasure chest with a cheese wheel in it #the secret is that the silliness all has to be done with sincerity. if it's ironic it'll suck. #but if it's not silly enough it'll just be another generic action-fantasy #link has to do kickass sword tricks and he has to have a quiet moment of mourning #and he also has to wear a silly mask that lets him sneak through a monster hideout undetected and it has to be played *completely straight* #the zelda franchise is all of the above
