-
it's hard to have a movie where you have it's hard to have a movie where you have a silent protagonist you can do it with a silent protagonist you can do it with a silent protagonist you can do it with a game you can do it with a game because a game you can do it with a game because a game you can do it with a game because games are more interactive and you kind games are more interactive and you kind games are more interactive and you kind of like shape the scope of the game and of like shape the scope of the game and of like shape the scope of the game and your adventure but let's see I hope to your adventure but let's see I hope to your adventure but let's see I hope to God the Zelda movie show whatever it God the Zelda movie show whatever it God the Zelda movie show whatever it doesn't look cartoony like Mario yeah I doesn't look cartoony like Mario yeah I doesn't look cartoony like Mario yeah I I hope it doesn't look cartoony it could I hope it doesn't look cartoony it could I hope it doesn't look cartoony it could look here's the thing I think it could look here's the thing I think it could look here's the thing I think it could look could go either way I think it look could go either way I think it look could go either way I think it could but I don't want it to look like could but I don't want it to look like could but I don't want it to look like Mario did or does you got it so I feel Mario did or does you got it so I feel Mario did or does you got it so I feel like there's a lot to say in just two like there's a lot to say in just two like there's a lot to say in just two hours for something like Legend of Zelda hours for something like Legend of Zelda hours for something like Legend of Zelda I feel like you can't like for example I feel like you can't like for example I feel like you can't like for example even the Mario movie had to be I mean even the Mario movie had to be I mean even the Mario movie had to be I mean cuz like not only do you have to cuz like not only do you have to cuz like not only do you have to introduce all the characters but you introduce all the characters but you introduce all the characters but you also have to tell the classic story of also have to tell the classic story of also have to tell the classic story of Mario defeating Bowser and make Bowser Mario defeating Bowser and make Bowser Mario defeating Bowser and make Bowser look compelling and do all this natural look compelling and do all this natural look compelling and do all this natural plot stuff while introducing characters plot stuff while introducing characters plot stuff while introducing characters at the same time which is why I think at the same time which is why I think at the same time which is why I think Mario movie 2 will um sit better with Mario movie 2 will um sit better with Mario movie 2 will um sit better with critics yeah um because Mario movie 2 critics yeah um because Mario movie 2 critics yeah um because Mario movie 2 will be able to kind of take its time will be able to kind of take its time will be able to kind of take its time because since the characters have all because since the characters have all because since the characters have all already been introduced yeah but going already been introduced yeah but going already been introduced yeah but going so Translating that into a Zelda so Translating that into a Zelda so Translating that into a Zelda conversation um conversation um conversation um honestly they have so much to say with honestly they have so much to say with honestly they have so much to say with Legend Zelda I think it is if you're Legend Zelda I think it is if you're Legend Zelda I think it is if you're going to introduce link and introduce going to introduce link and introduce going to introduce link and introduce characters related to link and other characters related to link and other characters related to link and other characters and introduce Ganondorf and characters and introduce Ganondorf and characters and introduce Ganondorf and have the whole story of Link doing all have the whole story of Link doing all have the whole story of Link doing all these things mhm I don't you can't I these things mhm I don't you can't I these things mhm I don't you can't I can't see that being done in 2 hours can't see that being done in 2 hours can't see that being done in 2 hours honestly I could I could see it being
-
honestly I could I could see it being honestly I could I could see it being done like in a crazy movie format like done like in a crazy movie format like done like in a crazy movie format like if they go Avengers endgame or if they go Avengers endgame or if they go Avengers endgame or Oppenheimer and they make the movie 3 Oppenheimer and they make the movie 3 Oppenheimer and they make the movie 3 hours yeah then I then I could see that hours yeah then I then I could see that hours yeah then I then I could see that but I don't know if Legend of Zelda is but I don't know if Legend of Zelda is but I don't know if Legend of Zelda is at a point where it can make a lot of at a point where it can make a lot of at a point where it can make a lot of money being a three-hour movie so you money being a three-hour movie so you money being a three-hour movie so you know what I think they could do I think know what I think they could do I think know what I think they could do I think they they they could adapt one game in the series just could adapt one game in the series just could adapt one game in the series just one game because if they do like one game because if they do like one game because if they do like Twilight Princess Wind Waker and acarina Twilight Princess Wind Waker and acarina Twilight Princess Wind Waker and acarina time into one story it would be time into one story it would be time into one story it would be convoluted and stupid and silly and I convoluted and stupid and silly and I convoluted and stupid and silly and I would not like it but if they just do would not like it but if they just do would not like it but if they just do the Legend of Zelda ocarino of time then the Legend of Zelda ocarino of time then the Legend of Zelda ocarino of time then that would be good but I don't think that would be good but I don't think that would be good but I don't think they're going to do that and they're going to do that and they're going to do that and unfortunately I think it's just going to unfortunately I think it's just going to unfortunately I think it's just going to be called The Legend of Zelda and it's be called The Legend of Zelda and it's be called The Legend of Zelda and it's going to have elements of breath of the going to have elements of breath of the going to have elements of breath of the wild Ocarina of Time Twilight Princess wild Ocarina of Time Twilight Princess wild Ocarina of Time Twilight Princess Wind Waker in one but if anything I Wind Waker in one but if anything I Wind Waker in one but if anything I think they could think they could think they could actually do you think they would go more actually do you think they would go more actually do you think they would go more in the classic Zelda Direction with the in the classic Zelda Direction with the in the classic Zelda Direction with the story or um breath of the wild tears of story or um breath of the wild tears of story or um breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom Direction honestly you want the Kingdom Direction honestly you want the Kingdom Direction honestly you want to appeal to the largest audience that to appeal to the largest audience that to appeal to the largest audience that you have and the people that resonate you have and the people that resonate you have and the people that resonate the people that you want to resonate the people that you want to resonate the people that you want to resonate yeah you want to resonate with the yeah you want to resonate with the yeah you want to resonate with the audience that bought freaking 30 million audience that bought freaking 30 million audience that bought freaking 30 million copies of your game of both both you copies of your game of both both you copies of your game of both both you know both games right yeah and it's know both games right yeah and it's know both games right yeah and it's interesting with Mario because Mario interesting with Mario because Mario interesting with Mario because Mario also like Mario had a lot of classic also like Mario had a lot of classic also like Mario had a lot of classic callbacks so I I I hope that Zelda has
-
callbacks so I I I hope that Zelda has callbacks so I I I hope that Zelda has that too I hope it's not just breath of that too I hope it's not just breath of that too I hope it's not just breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom all that the wild tears of the Kingdom all that the wild tears of the Kingdom all that stuff I I don't know I don't know like I stuff I I don't know I don't know like I stuff I I don't know I don't know like I would still love to see like tingle I would still love to see like tingle I would still love to see like tingle I would still love to see like Kora Gora would still love to see like Kora Gora would still love to see like Kora Gora The Owl and stuff like that I don't know The Owl and stuff like that I don't know The Owl and stuff like that I don't know but I can I can totally see them going the can I can totally see them going the entire full on breath of the wild tears entire full on breath of the wild tears entire full on breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom rout let me see something of the Kingdom rout let me see something of the Kingdom rout let me see something hold on um flipping the switch hello Mr hold on um flipping the switch hello Mr hold on um flipping the switch hello Mr munu flipping the switch you do what you munu flipping the switch you do what you munu flipping the switch you do what you do with any legendary story you start do with any legendary story you start do with any legendary story you start Link in the middle of the world that has Link in the middle of the world that has Link in the middle of the world that has fallen into darkness also breath of the fallen into darkness also breath of the fallen into darkness also breath of the wild is classic Zelda the wild is wild is classic Zelda the wild is wild is classic Zelda the wild is classic Zelda you know what I'm talking classic Zelda you know what I'm talking classic Zelda you know what I'm talking about though I want about though I want about though I want like aing of Time stuff so so here's so like aing of Time stuff so so here's so like aing of Time stuff so so here's so here's a crazy take um actually actually here's a crazy take um actually actually here's a crazy take um actually actually before I see my crazy take I want to before I see my crazy take I want to before I see my crazy take I want to kind of continue on this specific point kind of continue on this specific point kind of continue on this specific point that we are in our discussion on the that we are in our discussion on the that we are in our discussion on the Zelda movie so like I still even if they Zelda movie so like I still even if they Zelda movie so like I still even if they did one story I still like think it did one story I still like think it did one story I still like think it would be better as a show cuz you can would be better as a show cuz you can would be better as a show cuz you can focus on individual characters not just focus on individual characters not just focus on individual characters not just link and maybe that's just like a like a link and maybe that's just like a like a link and maybe that's just like a like a like a wish list thing of mine um but if like a wish list thing of mine um but if like a wish list thing of mine um but if it were to be done in a in a movie it were to be done in a in a movie it were to be done in a in a movie format I think a breath of the wild format I think a breath of the wild format I think a breath of the wild style would like type of story would be style would like type of story would be style would like type of story would be the best because with the breath of the the best because with the breath of the the best because with the breath of the wild in Kingdom story link is already a wild in Kingdom story link is already a wild in Kingdom story link is already a hero there is no like like young Link hero there is no like like young Link hero there is no like like young Link like wakes up in a forest and there's
-
like wakes up in a forest and there's like wakes up in a forest and there's this legendary monster and you beat this legendary monster and you beat this legendary monster and you beat Coming of Age story like a or Wind Waker Coming of Age story like a or Wind Waker Coming of Age story like a or Wind Waker is yeah like the only the only times is yeah like the only the only times is yeah like the only the only times like link has a backstory is like like link has a backstory is like like link has a backstory is like literally in very small backstory that literally in very small backstory that literally in very small backstory that doesn't really matter to the main story doesn't really matter to the main story doesn't really matter to the main story so if they present it in a breath the so if they present it in a breath the so if they present it in a breath the wild tears of Kingdom format the game wild tears of Kingdom format the game wild tears of Kingdom format the game would be able to do like a lot better as would be able to do like a lot better as would be able to do like a lot better as a 2-hour movie I think easily especially a 2-hour movie I think easily especially a 2-hour movie I think easily especially espe yeah I think so because um yeah I espe yeah I think so because um yeah I espe yeah I think so because um yeah I mean other than that like if they really mean other than that like if they really mean other than that like if they really want to go deep with the lore and want to go deep with the lore and want to go deep with the lore and satisfy the fans my guilty pleasure My satisfy the fans my guilty pleasure My satisfy the fans my guilty pleasure My ultimate wish list is them to do a Zelda ultimate wish list is them to do a Zelda ultimate wish list is them to do a Zelda show they could do a movie and a show show they could do a movie and a show show they could do a movie and a show maybe do a movie and then have the show maybe do a movie and then have the show maybe do a movie and then have the show kind of be like a like a not like a kind of be like a like a not like a kind of be like a like a not like a spin-off but just like continuing on spin-off but just like continuing on spin-off but just like continuing on stories of specific characters and stories of specific characters and stories of specific characters and establishing the lore establishing the lore establishing the lore yeah so yeah they they have to do a yeah so yeah they they have to do a yeah so yeah they they have to do a breath of the wild type story um if they breath of the wild type story um if they breath of the wild type story um if they want it to be in a 2-hour movie want it to be in a 2-hour movie want it to be in a 2-hour movie Personally like um I forgot which one of Personally like um I forgot which one of Personally like um I forgot which one of your uh commenters uh said um said this your uh commenters uh said um said this your uh commenters uh said um said this but they said they want it in the style but they said they want it in the style but they said they want it in the style we got to throw one in the middle they we got to throw one in the middle they we got to throw one in the middle they said they wanted it in the style of um H said they wanted it in the style of um H said they wanted it in the style of um H yeah Lord of the Rings like like super yeah Lord of the Rings like like super yeah Lord of the Rings like like super long movies like hours long and like long movies like hours long and like long movies like hours long and like deep lore with all the races and deep lore with all the races and deep lore with all the races and characters and I am all that that's what characters and I am all that that's what characters and I am all that that's what I by it's hard it's hard to do Zelda in I by it's hard it's hard to do Zelda in I by it's hard it's hard to do Zelda in 2 hours that's what I meant and the

-
have an idea of what that could be for have an idea of what that could be for yes I I guess I could give you an yes I I guess I could give you an yes I I guess I could give you an example of it so what what I was trying example of it so what what I was trying example of it so what what I was trying to ask you like a unique thing that no to ask you like a unique thing that no to ask you like a unique thing that no Zelda game has ever done before is like Zelda game has ever done before is like Zelda game has ever done before is like imagine and this is not what I want this imagine and this is not what I want this imagine and this is not what I want this is just an example I think this is kind is just an example I think this is kind is just an example I think this is kind of silly but imagine like uh link go of silly but imagine like uh link go of silly but imagine like uh link go goes so forward in the future that it's goes so forward in the future that it's goes so forward in the future that it's like to like modern day where there's like to like modern day where there's like to like modern day where there's like skyscrapers and stuff like obvious like skyscrapers and stuff like obvious like skyscrapers and stuff like obvious oh my God I would freak out if that oh my God I would freak out if that oh my God I would freak out if that happened yeah so like obviously like happened yeah so like obviously like happened yeah so like obviously like that's not something I would want but that's not something I would want but that's not something I would want but that's like an example of what I'm that's like an example of what I'm that's like an example of what I'm asking like would you want like asking like would you want like asking like would you want like something unique oh something unique and something unique oh something unique and something unique oh something unique and crazy that has not been done I I don't crazy that has not been done I I don't crazy that has not been done I I don't want them to go too crazy in that regard want them to go too crazy in that regard want them to go too crazy in that regard because in the end Zelda does that stuff because in the end Zelda does that stuff because in the end Zelda does that stuff but it it at the same time if they do but it it at the same time if they do but it it at the same time if they do something as um crazy as that then it something as um crazy as that then it something as um crazy as that then it it's it kind of takes away from what the it's it kind of takes away from what the it's it kind of takes away from what the series is you know so I I don't want them to do know so I I don't want them to do something very something very something very uncharacteristic but I'm very curious to uncharacteristic but I'm very curious to uncharacteristic but I'm very curious to see what they could see what they could see what they could [Music] [Music] [Music] do hey guys this is Nish quii thank you do hey guys this is Nish quii thank you do hey guys this is Nish quii thank you so much for watching that video and if so much for watching that video and if so much for watching that video and if if you enjoyed it check out these two if you enjoyed it check out these two if you enjoyed it check out these two videos on the left and if you aren't videos on the left and if you aren't videos on the left and if you aren't subscribed why not hit that subscribe subscribed why not hit that subscribe subscribed why not hit that subscribe button on the way out I'll see you guys button on the way out I'll see you guys button on the way out I'll see you guys in the next one have a great day and see in the next one have a great day and see in the next one have a great day and see you
Summary
The main theme is the potential for a Zelda movie or show, discussing whether Link should talk, the preference for a series over a movie due to the rich lore, and concerns about a cartoony aesthetic like the Mario movie. The practical takeaway is that a Zelda adaptation needs careful consideration of its narrative format and visual style to succeed, with a series potentially offering more depth than a single film.
