Legend of Zelda Movie

I think they only relate LOTR to LOZ in how they want the movie portrayed. People enjoy the darker, more realistic scenery in LOTR movies. People like the idea of huge dungeons with elaborate imagery. They don't want a "fellowship" and i would think that "most" would certainly agree that Eliajah would make a terrible Link. Another comparison would be the costumes of LOTR. I would rather have Link as a Legolas look-alike than have another movie screwed up. (case it point, John Leguizamo as the rainbow colored tool belt wearing plumber formally known as Luigi.)

I say the director who did resident evil (and is now working on Alien vs Predator) direct TLoZ. Or at least someone with an equal fanatacism about TLoZ that they wouldnt be thrown off track and bring the movie totally from the heart (and get people who are also fans to make up the production cast, even the actors should be fans of the game)

Mel Gibson should be director! that way Link can have his guts pulled out by a medieval torture device and he can be crusified all in the same movie! J/K. I think it would be really interesting if some fan boy who is totally consumed by LoZ directed it. Of course I think he should visit this site first to get all of our fabulous input, but I think hiring some Hollywood big shot who knows little about the game might turn it into a lesser movie like the Matrix. Sorry Matrix fans, the action is cool, and effects are great, but the 2nd one's plot sucks. And why is Zion like a huge orgy?!

MEl gibson, Ridley scott, Steven Speilberg , Paul anderson maybe,, he;s good with the resident evil movie he can make 2 more. It should be a director who's serious. Nintendo should interview this director and see if they click but that will have to happen anyway.

I agree with your input about the hollywood/fan director Linkalicious...I'd rather have someone follow the whole thing than someone who thinks that they can (if possible) "MAKE IT BETTER", nice try MR. HOLLYWOOD, but the only good thing about hollywood is well, those big ass STUPID paychecks. And that could pull in some people we sure as hell don't want to see, like Macauly Caulkin or George Clooney. Sorry, but leave this to the experts...US. Yes, I could draw a map from LTTP and the last time I played it was when SNES was still around, actually I lied, I downloaded it about five years ago. The difference though between LOTR and LOZ is that, LOZ started out as a game and should go to the BIG SCREEN but LOTR began as a book, but others want to believe it was a movie first and then spawned into a game. I'll have to say that when it comes to hollywood, they're pretty good when it comes to NEW ideas, yet something original that has been made into something would make a big downfall. I think that Micheal Crition is good at his ideas, Tim Burton has a good aspect at the darkside of things but isn't too straight foward, and then there's Mel Gibson...Who would make a horrible LINK. Who would be the best at capturing Link in his greatest hour in the DARKNESS...okay, just forget I said that.

Personally, I think Link should be played by a kid since all of the best games starred Link the child.

I hope you are working on a Ocarina movie script. Ocarina is probably the best Zelda game, ever.

I think that maybe someone should go and get those pencils crackin, cause I'd love to read myself a Zelda book, made clearly that it has not one ounce of ideas from any of the games. I mean PURE CREATION...afterall, you do play most of the zelda games and of course, there's that one puff dude, who rockets around the screen (it was on Link's Awakening and Link to the Past; so some of you might not know WHO i'm talking about) It looked like it was a cloud of some sort.

I'd like to say to whoever is working to make something like this happen, then you deserve a worker of the year award...To see Link kill Ganon on the Big Screen would be so exciting that I'd have to bring a pillow and just live for THAT MOVIE ALONE...I swear, that game kicks major ASS. LONG LIVE LINK!!!

Alright, my friend sent me the whole script for part one, he said it might be revised but this is it. I was like WOW, it has to be a 3 hour movie 😄

It starts off as Link in Kokiri forest with the Kokiri children. They are exploring some of the Lost Woods when they come across a place they have never seen before but is in their legend. The Lost Waterfall.

Link and Dawn are at the Lost Waterfall when a winged man named Daeda grabs the girl. He came for Link but he is standing near the waterfall when Daeda takes the girl and gets grabbed by a huge ghost-like tentacle from in the waterfall and pulled in.

The ghost creature that saves Link from death by the winged man is Augur. She leaves him to find his future in the depths of a dark cave under the Dark Woods. Meanwhile Dawn has been taken from her safety in the Lost Woods and is slowly dying in a prison cell in Gerudo Fotress. (she is away from the woods)

While in the cave, Link runs into a deku shrub and a rabid cave-monkey creature who ends up helping him. After discovering the Underforest (which is like a jungle within a football dome) he meets a young exiled ranger who goes by the name Ranger.

Ranger helps train Link in the art of sword play and the boomerang. Meanwhile Ganon is getting ready to take over Hyrule Castle and orders the winged man to get Link again and he better not fail.

The winged man, Daeda, finds the Underforest and takes on Link and Ranger in a nice little battle. They escape into a cavernous chamber and Ranger dies. Link is now in a city shrine with guards surrounding him. He runs outside and then out of the city.

Link meets Daeda outside the city and they fight. Link barely wins and Daeda runs away severely injured. He falls asleep in the forest. Back at the Gerudo Fortress, Ganon casts a spell onto Dawn so her mind thinks she is still in the forest. Impa visits her dressed as a Gerudo guard.

We meet Navi, who wakes Link up and finally tells him a lot of what is happening as they walk towards Kakariko Village. When they get there he meets Impa and then stays the night in a Cukoo nest. He buys some better gear with Impa's rupees and Link and Navi head to Lon Lon Ranch where Impa has a horse waiting for him.

Meanwhile Ganon is riding to the castle where he is accepted on friendly terms because he is a political leader of sorts. With his 1 dozen personally trained guards called Eagle Claws. Back at Lon Lon Ranch, Link talks with Talon about Ganon's past and the 14 year old Malon is embarrased when she comes down in a nightgown and 17 year old cute Link in her living room.

Ganon takes over the castle as easy as pie and orders an ancient creature named Boulgar to attack Lon Lon Ranch because Ganon knows Link is there and wants to get rid of his 'future' problem. (Ganon can see the future.) A massive rock golem attacks the ranch and guess who shows up to save the day. Augur.

Augur is a shapeshifting ghost of sorts. She can change into the physical form of anything she touches, but always remains ghost-like. She taunts the golem and he grabs her, she then turns into his twin and they start duking it out like ancient gods.

Link gets away on a horse that Malon gives him. Epona. He rides to Hyrule Castle with Navi and Augur warns the giant golem to leave these lands or the next time she sees him he'll die.

Navi leads Link into a cave near the heavily guarded dark castle where she shows him a secret and how to call upon the great fairy's. Link gets a magic that allows him to jump incredibly high or long distances. Navi tells him that the rest of the path is up to him so she stays behind.

Link methodically sneaks into the castle (pretty much the same way you do in Ocarina of Time) Except when he stands up on the other side of the water drain, Daeda is waiting for him. They escort him to Ganon's chamber.

In the chamber you meet Twinrova Koume and Kotake. They use magic to control Link and throw him into trap floor where he slides for a long time into a giant room with 1 inch of water on the floor. He meets Dark Link, except Dark Link is Augur, who is being controlled by the Twins and have been the whole time.

Impa rescues Dawn from the Gerudo Fortress and notices a giant Army is massing in the desert. She takes the girl safely back to the Kokiri forest where one of the children give her an ocarina to give to Link.

They used the legend to make the boy come here and finish him before he can do anything. Augur as Dark Link starts fighting. The fight goes on a LONG time. In the end, Augur starts realizing the truth and she ends up dying because he can't leave until one of them dies.

In the chamber is a door that leads to another chamber where countless men have died trapped in the chamber. Only the legendary hero can open the chest, he does. The master sword.

Ganon is upset that Augur died and decides to take matters into his own hands. He goes to the top of his tower. Link exits into a very tall silo that he climbs up. Both are on the tower as darkness starts swirling around in the sky above.

They have a little battle but even with the master sword Link is NO match for Ganon yet. Ganon invites him to join him in the new world, but Link refuses. Ganon throws him off the tower and he starts falling. You see a shot of Ganon turning instantly to something in the corner of his eye.

Ganon: "No!"

To be concluded...

------------

So what do you think about this script? I'll let him know exactly what you think, good or bad. Remember, it's only half of a movie but kind of complete in itself. Well, kind of. Hard to imagine if he's left anything for part 2... 😄

It would be easier if you just make a sinopse.

pretty good...I like the whole idea of "NEW". I just hope that some of the stuff comes out good, but what about the princess zelda? But, again, I think that it's the best (only cause every other director sit on their asses and want to mimic THE MATRIX! Well, mimic this...) Good job CarlEnnui and tell your friend that he did a good job on the screenplay.

Zelda is in a dungeon cell under the castle with the King. I didn't mention because I forgot when posting. There is so much other stuff. In the end of part 1 Impa talks with Navi about her duty to the princess and since Augur is dead (who Ganon controlled) she has to do her own thing with the princess now instead of odd errands.

Yes Kes, a synopsis would be easier, but this is a 140 page script with so much content packed in. What I posted is only about HALF. And I'm not joking. When describing the scene in one-two sentences, it also tells about things in background shots that add WAY more. Like in the scene in Kakariko village when Link buys some new gear. The shop keeper is scribing something to pass the time with no customers. On the paper is a quote from MLK Jr.

- "In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

This is only a flash as he sets it on the counter but it relates to Link, who is a quiet, reserved hero. Ranger was just like Link until the same thing happened and he was 'destined' to be the hero but wimped out. He chose to live a quiet regretful life in the Underforest and that's why he trains Link. It doesn't explain this though except for the line from Ranger: "Just do what I regret never doing." And then he dies.

One problem I have about the script concerns the master sword. It should be stuck in a stone, not inside a chest. other than that it sounds like a good start to The Legend of Zelda movie.

That's a good idea, better stone than chest. I think his idea was to be more 'Zelda-ish' and less 'Sword in the Stone'....

Everyone knows that it's goofy for there to be chests with great items or treasures in them that are laying around in the baddies dungeon. Why would the bad guy leave them there? However I think he was trying to avoid the 'Sword in the Stone' scenario because it's nothing new.

A treasure chest, as corny as it sounds, is 'Zelda-ish' and might be good if done right. Who knows, but I'll let him know that. I hadn't thought about that and it's relevance to OOT in the cathedral.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEnD

Magic chests?!!!??!?!? you gotta be kidding me! what ever happened to left one, up one, left three, down one, left one, down one, left two and up one. Push a gravestone on this screen to reveal a Hidden Staircase. Take the stairs to get the Master Sword.

NOW THAT'S ZELDA-ISH!

Mujaffa > IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEnD

Criticism is the best. Wait 3-4 years and we'll know if you're right or not.

Well shot, I think that maybe it could have been cooler by instead of being in a chest...maybe some chosen warrior (who failed to destroy a previous evil-who probably posseses Ganon) could have been lost inside of a dungeon and locked in a chamber where Link accidently slides into it.

Well, the Zelda games had that "Sword in the Stone" quality to them, so why not the movie. I understand that something "New" would be nice, but only if something new is created, not changed from a long lasting Zelda tradition. When you think "Master Sword", you immediately picture a sword stuck in a stone maybe in a clearing in the forest, certainly not just thrown in a chest somewhere. I just think it would be a much more nostalgic shot with Link miraculously yanking the Master sword from an ancient stone.

zelda ocarina of time is my favorite video game ever behind diablo 2. i just dont think they should make a movie though. i just dont think it would be that good. i prefer to play it.
