I'm... oddly hopeful.

I love The Legend of Zelda and I'm hoping that they'll get the aspect of the dungeons right. There are many avenues they can take that will make it a great movie, at least potentially, but the people behind this venture are, well, mixed in terms of know-how; even their record is mixed.

The problem is not that Link will have to be speaking but that it will be a film that's around two hours long, maybe two-and-a-half at best (but that will never happen). Even with movies like Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer, making movies extra-long (in any way from the two-hour mark) just doesn't happen enough. It should. But it won't in this case; it'll be marketed as a blockbuster film.

Oh yeah, and they might make it too Lord of the Rings-esque... which may also be the only way they can do it, but the "whimsical" nature of Zelda and its best lore would be lost in the translation to film.

Honestly, there's a lot of ways they could take this film and that's what has me excited, but of course, the people involved would have to be on their A-game.
