Remember those rumours of a live-action Legend of Zelda series that were kicking about and hastily squashed by Iwata? Well, looks like there’s more to the story! Apparently, a Zelda series is still on the go but instead of Netflix, will be piloted by Amazon. The pilot will be shot in August to be aired at the beginning of 2016, possibly around the same time that the Zelda Wii U game would be releasing since it got pushed back. The idea of a Zelda series seemed to divide opinion quite a bit, so what do we think now that it definitely seems to be happening?
Thanks, MasterPikachu6
The fuck? Amazon does movies now?
Yeah, they’ve got their own series called Transparent. It won a bunch of awards.
Zelda and live action doesn’t seem like a good marriage… But whatever I’ll hold judgement till the thing comes out
They host a pilot season every season, and viewers get to vote which pilots get funded to have a series. It’s been going on for a while now. From what it sounds like, the Zelda pilot will be a candidate in the beginning of 2016.
Can we not have this bull shit please
Well excuuuuuuse me, Princess.
Lmao good one
Lmao good one bro
would have been better of with pixar or some other company that does animations
Fuck no.
why not their great at animation
>>>Better than any live action garbage>>>
After that one guy did a Pixar-like Zelda short in Source Filmmaker, I think there’s potential for a CGI Zelda.
I’m only fine with live action if it has a crazy high budget so that it doesn’t feel half-assed like with what happened with the Zelda cartoon.
>>>…>>>
>.>
Its ok. Don’t fucking have a roborgasm
>>>It was a disgust>>>
>>>No it was fucking roborgasm.<<<
BTW is metroid prime trilogy with it?
>>>With what?>>>
I have auto input on my phone and I don’t know how to fucking turn it off.
>>>These new phones are more useless than useful>>>
They are okay. They just have dumbass features.
>>>And lasts way shorter than the older generations>>>
And that is why you buy a Samsung Galaxy s whatever.
*Worth
MP Trilogy is worth it if you haven’t owned any of the other Metroid Prime games (or at least only one of them).
It’s still speculation as far as I’m concerned.
Would have preferred Netflix, but okay. Let’s see how this turns out!
Hope for the best, expect the WORST!
This is 100% an unconfirmed rumor and should be published as such and taken with a grain of salt. Click through to the source (somebody’s blog) and you’ll see there’s no actual source. The information is presented here like it’s fact – that’s poor journalism.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!
In the comments the writer even says “I’m my own source”. This is totally unconfirmed, don’t treat it as fact, please.
If this live action series is true, it’s gonna be hilarious watching the guy that plays Link do nothing but grunt and scream.
If it’s true, I do hope they don’t disappoint the fans and just stay true to the series… Almost everybody knows the series so nobody wants to see a different take on the series, like what they tried to do with Dragonball Evolution or (the horror) Super Mario Bros.
Original article is written by soulless ladybug.
Fuck no, no way. Motherfucking America stop fucking ruining Japanese media. Ruin your own shitty game franchises. I’ll never forgive you what you did to Dragon Ball and what you almost did to Akira trying to star Zack fucking Efron in the movie.
If Zelda got the same treatment as dragon Ball then I don’t want to hear it. I still keep an open mind but it will be a stroke of genius to think about that series like a 5 seasons series so they know what they doing.
There’s no way nintendo would let this happen. They value zelda almost more than mario. It’s about time they put their foot down.
The pilot in the works at Amazon has nothing to do with Legend of Zelda, it’s about Zelda Fitzgerald i.e. who the game was named after http://tvline.com/2015/06/22/christina-ricci-zelda-fitzgerald-amazon-pilot-z/
lol it’s a Zelda Fitzgerald show
bad idea is bad
erm im not sure about this idea imma keep my expectations REALLY low ^^;
Oh boy, I can already tell this shit would be awful as the Tekken and Dead or Alive live action adaptions.
Funny how this rumor has an “exclusive” source, stating it is his own source with no real source to backup, which only makes an statement.
If that’s the case, alright: F-Zero is coming to Wii U soon.
Exclusive source: me, my own source.
(See how inconsistent it sounds?)
Luckily this is completely unsubstantiated bullshit
YOU DARE BRING LIGHT TO MY LAIR?
dammit, I have a Netflix account, but not an Amazon one. If this ends up to be good, I think I’ll have to fold, and get an account. Since there’s no stopping it, I hope it turns out great!
I highly doubt the new Zelda game will release in early 2016. Most likely summer or fall.
Omg lame and fuck Amazon. Their Echo doesn’t understand what I’m saying, at all. Their engineers are so fucking lazy asses
This is in no way confirmed. This is still a rumor until we get word from Nintendo or Amazon
Live action??
I’m afraid for Nintendo.
This had better be good or Nintendo is going to look like a huge pile of morons. Live action shows about Nintendo never usually turn out well. I hate to mention it but I’m thinking about the Super Mario Bros. Movie. A disgrace to Nintendo. Completely.
AnnaSophia Robb as Princess Zelda
Louis CK as Ganondorf
Kevin Spacey as Ganondorf for a more serious actor but less likeness
Olivia Wilde as Impa (young)
Kathy Bates as Impa (old)
Benedict Cumberbatch as Zant
Danny DeVito as Darunia
John Goodman as King Zora
Reg E. Cathey as Link’s new sidekick
Steve Carrell as Tingle
James Franco as The Happy Mask Salesman
Actually, no. James Franco can’t act. Neil Patrick Harris or Johnny Depp.
Frankie Muniz as Skull Kid
Rachel McAdams as the Great Fairy, so the Great Fairy is actually hot for a change.
Sarah Jessica Parker as Epona
I don’t know who I’d cast as Link.
Will Smith as Link
Jim Carrey as Zelda
Chris Tucker as Ganondorf
Adam Sandler as Tingle
Melissa McCarthy as Great Fairy
Dwayne Johnson as Navi
Nicholas Cage as Skull Kid
Chuck Norris as Groose
Shia LaBeouf as The Postman
Jackie Chan as Impa
Guy Fieri as Darunia
Snooki as Ruto
& Whoopi Goldberg as Knuckles
LOL please no!
I like it.
If it’s anything like the fake IGN trailer then i’m completely on board.
That’s a bummer. Netflix shows come to foreign countries day and date. None of the Amazon shows from the last two years have come to my country.
Sorry people, this is about a Zelda Fitzgerald pilot that Amazon has ordered, NOT The Legend of Zelda.
If a Zelda live action is EVER done, it needs to avoid what Doom, Super Mario Bros, the Zelda cartoon, & other flops based on video games have done. No reimaginings, please! When the Doom movie reimagined the games, it turned into a fucking Resident Evil wannabe as the demons & zombies became nothing more than science projects gone horribly wrong. As good as Super Mario Bros the Movie was, it did nothing right by the games themselves; not to mention the bad taste it left in the mouths of everyone that worked on it because the directors apparently were not the greatest people to work for. The Zelda cartoon was campy at it’s absolute worst & no true fan of Zelda wanted to watch it. Least the old Batman live action series with Adam West was campy at it’s best. Oh & most Power Rangers series are also campy at it’s best. Above all, the directors & writers must actually be people that are fans of the games. Oh & keep Michael fucking Bay as far away as humanly possible. We don’t want Mr. Baysplosions involved in anything Zelda. He might be a good idea for a Halo or Call of Duty live action movie but NEVER Zelda.
