  1. I can’t wait to see this! I’m excited to see all the side characters come to life on the big screen.

    I know asking for my goat Tingle is probably too much lol… but I’d love to see Beetle, at some point!

      1. I could be misremembering, but I feel like when I discovered this website over a decade ago, a lot of articles had 100+ comments and they were a mess too

        1. That’s true. It’s one of the reasons I come to this to be honest. The chaos in the comment section is more entertaining than most of the news itself. I remember a guy who would role play as a Metroid federation force member in the comments

          1. I think I have been at this website since maybe october or november of last year? But this is the most I have ever seen, but I remember some sonic articles got high up there like the amy voice actress reveal and the article about sonic’s crossworld underperformance. I am glad to see some humans here!

            1. I just reread the comment section, and I want to say that around 30-40% of the comments are from that fight between bella and ice fan. Also at the bottom I create an alt email and tried creating a reimaging of mother 3 because puppet master pissed me off.

  2. I am happy to hear they’ve wrapped up filming, and I imagine we’ll get our first trailer this summer ☀️

    While I would have preferred Nintendo and Universal to go the animated route, I still have high hopes for this movie 🎬

    1. I still think LoZ would fare better as an episodic series- I can’t imagine them being able to fit an entire Zelda experience into a ~2 hour movie when the games take so much longer, even without side content (and disregarding speedruns, obviously).

  3. The greatest of all time

    Please be based on Ocarina of time.

    @Mason – The reason the games take longer is because of all the dungeons. Nobody would want to sit though a 8 hour series or movie watching Link collect endless keys in dungeons 😂

    It will be done like the Mario bros movie, nice and simple.

  4. Beyond excited for this. Will be taking my 12 year old with me to see it. He’s just played a couple Zelda games, hoping this spurs more interest for him 😁

  5. They have to at least include this song during the end credits, i remember the concert when the singer mentioned ‘epona is also the horse from the legend of zelda’ and everyone lost their shit.

    1. (suggestion: this Biblical verse: “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” – Ephesians 4:29, New Living Translation version)

  6. I truly hope Link doesn’t speak… Can’t lose its magic and touch just because a couple of kids who were born after 2010 don’t know anything about the saga.

  7. I hope it winds up looking better than the shooting picture we’ve seen – it looks like pretty amateurish at the moment

  8. Weird, I can’t reply to you, but you are still commenting. If you can read this, just know I am not defending anyone besides Cfg and Zeepeep, who are people who just said that you shouldn’t wish someone to be dead, that doesn’t make them transphobes. You’re simply making bold claims that are proven false. Let’s just let this war end. No one will win. Agree?

    1. I think the reply button disappears once a reply chain gets to a certain length. You have to just reply to the closest parent post in that scenario.

      1. Thanks, Bella and that one guy who told people they deserve to die really did offend me. I once had a friend who became trans, but they sadly killed themselves from people making fun of her. I am fine if people don’t support it, but telling people to kill themselves because of what they support made me remember when I lost a close friend of mine because people were mocking her. But zeepzeep and cfg were fighting back those awful comments, which made me feel at peace. Thank you.

        1. Sorry to hear that my friend, you should not be ok with people not supporting trans rights. These people just want to live their lives peacefully without harming anyone, and anyone who doesn’t support their peace of mind is ignorant and should be either change their ways or be completely ignored. Transphobia is hatred whatever is passive or not.
          Again sorry for your loss pal.

          1. Figures that the schitzo with stupid opinions and has Blah live rent free in their head doesn’t know being trans is a sin.

    2. Here’s a question: why would you take issue with me wishing death upon such a worthless piece of shit like Dark Samus?
      People like that are an active cancer on society, a source of bigoted hatred against a group of people who’ve already had to endure far too much. They actively go out of their way to make life more difficult for these innocent people.

      The world would objectively be a better place without them, so why exactly do you feel the need to stick up for them?

  9. Are you really asking why someone would take issue with someone wishing death on another person because they have an ideological disagreement? Is there really any justification for taking a human life unless it’s immediately endangering other human lives? And no, Dark Samus’ comment was not endangering anybody’s life.

    1. There’s literally a person here making jokes about trans suicide, and you don’t think this shit endangers trans lives?
      What a lovely little bubble world you must live in.

            1. But you are part of the 0.1% of the population with a micro-penis. 😭
              It’s okay, I know that’s why you lash out. I’m sure your daddy Trump won’t mind.

      1. But you were making death wishes long before the ICE Fan commented. How do you rationalize that? In fact, to my surprise, someone commented how your death wishes triggered an emotional response in them. Do you feel sorry for that at all?

        1. You really must be a fucking moron. People have been posting abhorent anti-trans shit for literal MONTHS on this site, literally joking about trans suicide on multiple articles. And it’s only NOW that you’re getting upset about it because I told some objective POS to kill themselves? Fuck off.

            1. I like how you haven’t once denied my allegations of you having a micro-penis lmaooo.
              At least you’re honest little buddy.

          1. You must be looking at something I’m not because I usually just see comments simping for female Sonic characters.

            I’m tired of this so I’ll let you and ICE Fan continue your competition for who loves micropenises more. You both have the same energy, fyi. If I can make one last appeal to your senses… however ICE Fan looks to you is how YOU look to most average people and maybe worse because you are making death wishes. It literally hurts the cause your “fighting” for.
