It will certainly be interesting to see how this film turns out given the oft-cited point that Link does not traditionally speak during the games (though I think he did in the CD-i games).
It's also worth noting that video game based movies rarely do well. I'm not sure what the general consensus was on the Illumination Mario movie, so maybe people are more optimistic for this movie if they liked that one. Personally, I didn't love the Mario movie, so I'm still a little uncertain of the potential quality of this movie.
I certainly hope this movie does well, though. Then we can finally get the Chibi-Robo movie we've all been waiting for.
Link speaks in both the CDi games and the cartoon that was attached to the Mario Bros super show.
The general consensus on the Mario movie probably doesn't matter much as it made over a billion dollars worldwide. Personally I thought it was fine but lacks a lot of the heart that made the deeply flawed 1993 movie so charming.
“well excuuuuuse me, princess!”
This line better be in the movie.
I think the Mario movie did well because it is very different from most video game movies. They went for a family/humor approach instead of a serious epic/action movie. The Sonic movies are another example of this working well.
so, Im not very optimistic about a Zelda movie.
