Now, the news of a live-action Zelda film is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. As much as I love playing Zelda as a kid and would love to see a live-action film bring the character to life.
Although I can’t help but have some concerns. Given what Hollywood has pushed out in years past, with the “Hitman” movies, “Max Payne”, as much as I enjoyed “Street Fighter” with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Which I actually didn’t see until about 2 years ago, I liked it, for it being a bad 90’s movie, that’s good in that junk food cinema, type of way.
“Super Mario”, and even the new “Mortal Kombat” movies have shown us that there is hope for video game adaptations. Even though “Mortal Kombat” is more debatable, I still consider it a good movie.
Helming the film is Wes Ball, the director of films such as “The Maze Runner” trilogy and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”.
Which does give us some hope, not to mention we do have two up-and-coming actors taking center stage with Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth.
The first images are in, and it’s not enough to give an idea of what the film beholds, but it’s enough to confirm, ready or not, “The Legend of Zelda” is coming.
