"Well ex-cuuuuuuse me, princess!"

Live action is a mistake.

I have zero hopes they can pull this off. Links game personality doesn't translate well to film. Nits just gonna be a teenage fantasy romance.

The trailer hopefully will show:

• Jack Black as a Goron king wincing saying "ooo right in the dekus!" after Link gets hit in the groin by a slingshot and crosses his eyes before falling backwards
• The Rock as Ganondorf doing the eyebrow raise, and saying, "can you smell what the 'dorf is cooking?"
• James Bautista sneaking into a Gerudu camp wearing a lacy tube top, face covering, and flowing pants
• Link's horse making a suggestive whinny and pushing Link closer to Zelda played by Zendaya

Given the rest of the comments in this thread, here's a controversial opinion: Imma reserve my judgement instead of judging a book by its cover.

I find it hard to tell if a movie - especially its plot - is good or bad based on just 3 images.

Does Zelda every use a bow in any of the games? I always thought she was more magic-oriented

angry internet gamer noises

Neither of these people are ethnically elfish. Immersion absolutely ruined. FFS, Mr. Zelda looks downright Norwegian. Not a drop of Hyrulean blood in his veins. I'm boycotting this movie. I'm boycotting it!

If you told me this was season 3 of Wheel of Time, I would believe you.

The background is going to be out of focus the whole movie, I guarantee it.

Link is not nearly femboy enough. I give it a 1 out of 10.

As long as it has one of these references:

"Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess!"

"HEY LISTEN"

"Suavamente"

"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"

Combat rolls

Bomb jump

Shield spring jump

Chakram Boomerang moment

Sword Throw

we're good

There were two leaked videos a couple days ago. Link wears a darker green hooded cloak on top of the outfit seen here, and there's a black horse with a black and red saddle. It looks like Zelda has a tawny horse with a gold and black saddle.

Also Dichen Lachman (Ms. Casey from Severance) is playing Impa, based on the video below.

At least from the costume perspective, I think they did a good job.

seems fine, but i still can't believe they didn't partner with Ghibli for this.

Looks absolutely horrible

They really cast the best looking actor for Link's role. He really looks like the most recent iteration of the character in the video game.

Those two look perfect for the role. I don’t think I have seen him in anything but I saw her in King and Conqueror and she is great

Anyone else remember, 17 years ago, when IGN April Fooled a Legend of Zelda live action movie trailer and everyone really, really wanted it to be real?

Hmm I don’t mind Link’s look, actually I kind of like it. I would’ve liked Zelda to look more elf-ish or fairylike.

Also shouldn’t her hair be more blonde?? Like can’t she wear a wig or dye her hair a few shades lighter lol

I wont judge a whole movie just from three still images. I'll reserve my true judgement for later. But I will say that the costume design looks suitable. And the actors, physically, arent far off from what I would expect for their characters, so I'm at least pleased with that. The tone invoked by the imagery feels a bit off, but, again, without context, that's basically no information at all.

"The Lord of the Rings" is a multimedia fantasy virus isn't it. Just gets into everything.

Partner and I will probably go see it.

Game: imaginative gorgeous landscape

Movie: generic scenery from someone’s backyard

Is this the new Eragon revival? Looks just as shitty as the first adaptation

Look like couple cosplaying. Can't wait for the mostly cgi trailer. This didn't need to be made.

I'm surprised Nintendo let this happen. Animated is one thing, but live action? Well, nothin to do but wait and see.
