First, a script and screenplay must be made, and that will take a while in itself since it must be revised time and time again to work all the bugs out. You also need the rights to make a script or screenplay from Nintendo before you can start sending it off to companies. If there is a Zelda movie coming out, it will be a while.
OKAY, Um...what's ROAM??? is it a game or some character?
Enough of that subject, let's move onto something with a lot of topics that can be debated...how about LINK. (that sounds good, link's good breakfast). So, I kind of feel the same way as you do about the beginning on how it should be a melting pot of some elements from: I don't know if you meant all the games, some of the games, ect. But I think that if the creators (more openly called "US", afterall, no one else talks about this as much as us) would want to appeal to a wider audience, then you might have to gamble and go with something that's not based upon a game (I.E. if you make a Ocarina of Time MOVIE, then most people who hated the game won't go see it, but if you screw up on something new it's going to be stronger both ways-LOTS OF CRITISISM OR LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS).
I think that some of the things aren't really necessary for the movie, all of you people (actually MOST)...Most of you people keep talking about Saria and Darunia...(and me with MIDO, but so what) If this keeps going on, then we're just going to be looking at some alternated Ocarina of Time. Yes, Link is the main character, but HE can't be excluded...Something better has to come and actually fit like a puzzle, just like those cool puzzles in the dungeons (sweet).
I will go through a series of questions, you will explain your views on the questions (ALSO, these aren't true/false questions...you have to describe)
1. Many questions keep popping up on a young link, but is a young link needed for a film?
2. Who would you rather have for a guide? the owl or Sahasrahla?
3. What sounds better. A dark world or a dark future?
4. OOT had the SHADOW LINK and LTTP had AGAHNIM. who would be better for another enemy; Agahnim or Shadow Link?
5. It's going to be Inevitable to leave dugeons from the movie, THE QUESTION...
5-1 how many dungeons are needed?
5-2 which dungeons are best?
5-3 how long should the dungeon(s) be?
I'll answre waht i can beacause i don't know agahim and lttp.
1. Many questions keep popping up on a young link, but is a young link needed for a film?
Yes especially if they decide if if the movie is going to be more that just one movie. If it's one movie i say just a introduction would do.
2. Who would you rather have for a guide? the owl or Sahasrahla?
I don't know sahasrahla (is that serious a name) but i guide would be good. The owl in Ocorian just annoyed me. I don't know if you consider Navi a guide but something like navi will look good to me.
3. What sounds better. A dark world or a dark future?
Both. Again if they decide to make it more than just one movie a dark future will anly make themovie more exciting. In the terminator 1 and 2 that worked great.
4. OOT had the SHADOW LINK and LTTP had AGAHNIM. who would be better for another enemy; Agahnim or Shadow Link?
I don't understand this question because i don't know that characters but a dark link sounds cool. It will give Link a different test instead of testing his powers or something
5. It's going to be Inevitable to leave dugeons from the movie, THE QUESTION...
5-1 how many dungeons are needed?
I say one or two will do. If they put to many ir will seem as if they have no creativity or talent to make a good movie and it WILL be boring
5-2 which dungeons are best?
The two dungeons i love the most are the ones on that vulcano mountian in Ocorina
5-3 how long should the dungeon(s) be?
You mean how much time should it take before Link is done with a dungeon? This is one of the reasons it should be more than just one movie. because these dungeons have a few puzzels and death traps so it might take awhile (and special effects) before Link is done with a dungeon.
Great questions Levithian. Keep them comin
1. Many questions keep popping up on a young link, but is a young link needed for a film?
Depends on the film or films being made. If based on TOOT than yes... he'd figured heavily in the first half. If not based on TOOT than still perhaps yes in flashbacks to show that Link has been resurrected times before by the power of the Tri-force to battle evil.
2. Who would you rather have for a guide? the owl or Sahasrahla?
Depends on the film again. Sahasrahla never did anything other than stay in that Temple and need help being guided through death mountain. As for the owl, his character would be vastly different in the movie and would figure more helpful to a young link by aiding him as transport when necessary.
3. What sounds better. A dark world or a dark future?
Does it matter?! They both sound the same...
4. OOT had the SHADOW LINK and LTTP had AGAHNIM. who would be better for another enemy; Agahnim or Shadow Link?
Like I said before, the story revolves around the 3 main characters. Having either of these would be wasteful.
5. It's going to be Inevitable to leave dugeons from the movie, THE QUESTION...
5-1 how many dungeons are needed?
Only those that figure heavily in the story and add backstory or possible future consequence in the story.
5-2 which dungeons are best?
The 4 temples, Forest, Fire, Water and Spirit Temple would be key as they are the original worship sites for the ancestors of the peoples in Hyrule.
5-3 how long should the dungeon(s) be?
Hopefully not needlessly long. I mean no one really cares as long as they are featured. The true question is what's occupying them... as in the boss monsters.
Here are my questions...
01. Which bosses would you like to see?
Personally, I wish all of them but that won't be possible. So here is some that come to mind. Valvolgia, Big Mechanical Bull, Twinrova, Giant Moth from LTTP, Queen Gohma and the others I've forgotten by name.
02. If you were to adapt one of the Zelda games for a live action tv series, which would it be?
If a trilogy had been made based on the ocarina of time. I'd go with Majora's mask since it is in direction corelation to TOOT. I'd change the ideas and inject some fresh ideas into the alternate world.
All of the Legend of Zelda games are great!! I'm a huge fan, have been since the first one was made! It is a classic, and I believe screenwriters could write a decent script, that followed the basic storyline of something happening to Zelda, Link has to find a way to save her, or Hyrule will be doomed, and their should be a wayfor Link to travel between two different worlds. He has to do stuff in one world, so he can do something in the other like in A Link to the Past, which was one of my favorites, I played through the whole thing THREE times! Which is a lot considering Zelda games usually take a couple to three months to beat, if its summer, and you have nothing else to do! lol .... I had thought of this idea a while back, how great it would be to make the Legend of Zelda into a movie, and Metroid, another I think woucl do good is Castlevania...
The movie sounds like it'd be really interesting, but what I think that will be the best of all is usually those boss fight scenes, in this case: GANON. I don't want to say anything to disappoint some people here, but I think that Orlando could make a great link, but only on his desire. Next, I could only think of a few people for ganon, but how well would they do? I don't know and I suppose that I'll never know cause I can't see past AMERICA. If someone really great from ENGLAND OR GERMANY wanted to be in this, I'd have no idea cause they'd be an icon from that country and they could be getting ready for the BIG-TIME. For all you know, Link could be played by some English born native that has cool sword fighting skills and some German could play Ganon and then we'd surprisingly be overwhelmed by the amazment of the choreography and filmography. And some other thing that I think would be wierd is if some ENGLISH WRITER decides to do something about Zelda. SO, DON'T BECOME PISSED OFF WHEN SOMEONE WITH MORE TALENT COMES ALONG AND TAKES THE PLACE OF LINK, HE COULD BECOME YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR.
everyone once told me I have very perceptive abilities, or something like that. I have been thinking of trying to get into some of OUR (in other words, my city's clubs of theater and other film shit (even though theater isn't a movie, it's live)) EVENTS. Yeah, I don't want go around and put in all this non-benifical stuff and say something that will draw a crowd of punks/geeks/freaks (not to mock any of those people) but those geeks always seem to ***** about the smallest thing. So, I could do a movie but I'd leave out something that I didn't think was really necessary (i.e. that boy that eats beans in Ocarina of time), so this geek (with his dorky teeth and stupid taped glasses) starts rioting all cause I'd leave out some kid who eats beans. Above that, I wouldn't want to leave out anything that is in relation to link, like epona (I think I spelled it right) tallon, and of course THAT...I'm just acting silly. I didn't mean THAT, I meant "that"
CONFUSED???
I just wonder if Link should actually get to have a little romance scene in this movie though. I'm not going to MAKE a movie, but if I just get bored and dilly-dally then maybe I'll just jot down some stuff. Of course, in my opinion, I said that I'd like to see a little blend of both PAST and TIME (link to the past and ocarina of time, those were the KEY words) and I'd probably just decide if how many to what types and to how long Link should spend time getting lost in some of those mazes. However, if anything doesn't fit, and some things seem confusing then I'd like to do something like that. I remembered how shocked I was when Shiek/Sheik??? was zelda, so I'd like to follow something on the lines of a twisting-shocking element. As for now, I won't say anyone of who I want as a cast for a movie, but I think that Arnold Schwarzenegger is PERFECT for YOUNG LINK...hehehehe. Hey, their IQ's might be closely similar.
SatsuJin: """You're the idiot.... Link hasnt spoken a single word in any zelda game. Who are you to say that tradition should be broken? I think the only person to have a say in that is Shigeru Miyamoto"""
Well.... Link is talking in OoT... For example, in the start of the game, you have to answer to Zelda if we were the boy in her dream...
Maybe we havn't heard his real voice, but he can communicate....
WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE GETTING SO DAMNED PISSED OFF FOR? I'll tell you why; some people think that he shouldn't talk, and some people think that talking is just as good as the action (yeah, hopefully). So, I say I'd love to hear Link talk, he might actually have some great comedic talent under his green tunic. But yeah-yeah, so what? I think that if anyone has a saying about this then it's YOU KNOW WHO!!!! Well, I must say that I think Buffymitch and me are pretty much the only people that'd like to see Link whip out some vowels, if there are any others, we know what it is that you want. AS FOR ME, IT'S MUNCHIES.
"Well.... Link is talking in OoT... For example, in the start of the game, you have to answer to Zelda if we were the boy in her dream...
Maybe we havn't heard his real voice, but he can communicate...."
Me: No he isnt, In the OOT , YOU are supposed to be Link (since you can name him) It becomes quite apparent that you are playing the role of this character, therefore it is you that answers all the questions or engages in communicating with the other characters, and thats only to move the story along. We're referring to vocals here, or even text based quotes at the best. Link has none, his only vocals are TEYAAHHHH or SOOORYAHHH!! or even HAAIIII!! lol... sometimes even UWAHHHH!! Those would be fine if they did it in a movie, just words or speech in terms of language isnt proper for Link. Yelling for a powerful hit or from getting hurt is understandable.
Right onm levithian.
People i think it's a fact that Link CAn talk. In OoT you talk to Zelda, Deku tree and a lot of different creatures. Just like satsujin says: LINK CAN COMMUNICATE!! End of story. Trust me if you make a movie and not make him say anthing he will look like hero withno brains. Andf it will look very stupid. Even if you are a fan of the games and you want the movie tbe just like the game, even then you would think that it was stupid if LInk did'nt open his mouth.
