Someone made an AI pic and I can see it. As long as they make the guy more blonde.

Light Blonde not needed. He'll just be Skyward Sword Link:

 

[rkofan87]

same.

 

[Trilobit]

Light Blonde not needed. He'll just be Skyward Sword Link:

Yeah, dirty blonde is perfectly fine. It's better than bleaching his hair yellow. Fake superblonde always comes off as especially fake.

 

[BlackTron]

5 pounds of hair gel to square off like N64 Link then paint it bright yellow

 

[Fbh]

I'm pleasantly surprised they went with lesser known actors

 

[Sinozen]

That's a great Link. I like that he's a brunette.

 

[djjinx2]

Wtf craziness is this.. two beautiful actors that look the part ?? Are these people mad ? ... thats not how movie works anymore!

 

[Hardensoul]

No idea who they are but they I can see it. Interesting they chose both British actors.

Both are young as well so they can play potential sequels. If they wanted.

It's a trilogy, they are filming atleast 1-2 together!

 

[Hardensoul]

If Wes Ball, the director of this:

can bring a similar level of quality of to Zelda, I'm definitely hyped.

When I saw Maze Runner, this looks like a Zelda dungeon! Came to find out he was a LoZ fan! I'm hyped he was picked as director!

 

[Arsic]

Do we have a Ganon? I bet it's Jack black.

Pedro Pascal

 

[Fess]

And a sigh of relief was heard throughout the whole enthusiast gaming world.
Hopefully there is no drama coming. This game must not fail!

 

[Trogdor1123]

Pedro Pascal

Who carries around Jack black on his back… the movie just writes itself at that point

 

[Badlucktroll]

Pedro Pascal should play Link's uncle

 

[March Climber]

For Ganon they should utilize the Samurai designs

With this man as Ganon:

 

[IAmRei]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is very upset that Hunter wasn't cast.

Pique my interest to see it

 

[nikos]

I don't think I have any interest in watching a film that features a child as the lead.

Wonder if it'll feature both child and adult Link.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Let's give this a spiritual successor.

 

[Salmon]

This is pretty much a young Link

 

[Alebrije]

Pedro Pascal won be Link? the dream is over

well ,.there still hope for a Ganon role.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Wow, surprisingly good casting.

 

[Deerock71]

Nintendo may quit gaming and go into movies.

 

[kevboard]

which one?

 

[GateofD]

Starting at a 10/10 and will take away one point for each line Link has that isn't just grunts or attack noises

 

[ADiTAR]

Let's give this a spiritual successor.

I tried to watch that recently, and wow it's so bad.

 

[jonnyXx]

Light Blonde not needed. He'll just be Skyward Sword Link:

Soon as I looked at toon Link I could hear him in my head going HYAAAAH!

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I love this IP so much I actually don't want a movie

I'm afraid it might taint literal perfection

 

[FoxMcChief]

I tried to watch that recently, and wow it's so bad.

Not at all related, but watch Encino Man. I feel like that movie has aged like fine wine.

uhhhhhh...

I don't wanna give you a heart attack but, like, these are a thing:

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

uhhhhhh...

I don't wanna give you a heart attack but, like, these are a thing:

my fear is specifically with modern live action films

not saying it won't be great, just more often than not I don't like modern shit that they crank out

I liked the weird ass Mario tv show from the 80s more than the recent Mario movie for example, and that wasn't even live action

hell I even liked the live action Mario film tbh but that was a film of a different time

I recall liking the Zelda cartoon but I haven't seen it in maybe +30 years

It's ok to have bad taste.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

It's ok to have bad taste.

About liking which?

 

[yogaflame]

Is the actress a biological female this time? And is the actor a biological male?

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Is the actress a biological female this time? And is the actor a biological male?

That casting was never going to happen. Time to move on.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

uhhhhhh...

I don't wanna give you a heart attack but, like, these are a thing:

I yell "EXCUUUUUUSE MEEEEE, PRINCESS" at my girlfriend regularly.

 

[ADiTAR]

About liking which?

yes

 

[MayauMiao]

I'm just glad its not Zendaya.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

yes

My forum username is literally I collect VHS tapes

That should tell you something about my tastes

 

[digdug2]

Holy crap the Son of a Critch guy got this? You non-Maritimers probably have never heard of it, but really good, really funny show that touches the heart! Check it out if you want to see him acting, and check it out anyways.

He is great as Mark Critch. We're currently finishing up season 2 and love the show. My wife is Canadian, so she really relates with certain aspects, such as having to wear a snow suit over her Halloween costume.

For Ganon they should utilize the Samurai designs

With this man as Ganon:

Too light skinned. Ganondorf is dark skinned from a desert area. Should be a middle eastern or black guy.

 

[March Climber]

Soon as I looked at toon Link I could hear him in my head going HYAAAAH!

I always pair that with hearing this:



It's a shame they never gave him a second chance at an AAA title.

Too light skinned. Ganondorf is dark skinned from a desert area. Should be a middle eastern or black guy.

Then he can't be a samurai with a complicated past.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Aiming for the kids is Nintendo's thing, so I get it, but ffs I wish we could get an older crew for a story.

 

[Beretta]

I have no idea who these two people are but they look like they can fit the characters, I just don't know if I'll be interested. I enjoy the Zelda games but I'm not sure about a movie. I remember the animated cartoon on the Super Mario Bros Super Show.

 

[Tams]

Only if we get George Clooney as Tingle

I hear Hugh Grant is more into those kind of roles.

 

[JimmyF]

Do we have a Ganon? I bet it's Jack black.

My source confirmed it's Eddy Murphy.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

I can see the casting, yup.
But I have absolutely no idea how a live action Zelda movie can be profitable ... at all

By making 2.5-3x its budget back at the box office

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Weird. They both look like they're 12 - 15. Maybe google was pulling up some old pics.

15 year olds look like adults, that is when the vast majority of humans reach external maturity. Nothing happens at 16, 17 or 18 that differentiates an 18 year old from a 15 year old visually.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Link's casting is horrible, he's a natural blond in the game and no bleach ain't the solution.

Same with Zelda tbh

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

a future has been stolen from us

 

[EviLore]

a future has been stolen from us

You mean

 

[Shifty1897]

No Pedro, no buy.

We dont know who Ganondorf is yet. The role Pedro was meant to play.
