Since The Super Mario Bros. Movie launched earlier this yr, discuss amongst Nintendo followers has inevitably shifted in the direction of the plausibility of a Legend of Zelda film.
Nintendo itself has been fairly forthcoming about its intentions to make additional films primarily based on its IP, and the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie has even brought on Eiji Aonuma to specific curiosity in a Zelda adaptation, so it appears solely a matter of time earlier than the inexperienced gentle is flicked to the ‘on’ place.
Naturally, nevertheless, followers are involved a few potential Zelda film’s inventive path. Could it go down the identical route because the Mario Movie and put its deal with slapstick humour? Surely not. How a few Ghibli-esque animation? Heck, we would be up for that.
Writer and video editor Dom Nero has one thing fairly totally different in thoughts and has created a fan-made mashup trailer of what he deems to be probably the most applicable imaginative and prescient for a Zelda film (thanks, Polygon). By splicing collectively footage from present films (with a selected deal with the work of puppeteer Jim Henson), Nero has crafted a Zelda trailer that appears prefer it’s been plucked straight from the ’80s. It’s really fairly outstanding.
It goes with out saying, in fact, that if Nintendo have been to make an official Zelda film, it in all probability would not look something like Nero’s trailer. We’re betting it’s going to be some kind of animation in collaboration with Illumination once more; in any case, rumours earlier this yr pointed to a possible deal being struck between Nintendo and Universal that’ll give Illumination one other crack at a Nintendo film.
