Good Idea Zol, but I was thinking that I wouldent put all the dugeon boses and all random stuff, becasue the movie will seem long, but people also know what to expect so that would be boring. Try cutting cenes.

Zelda is more then just some obstacles, a climax, a resolution, and a story ripped from the game series. The essence of the Zelda series involves many things, and I think if you missed some of these, it would not resemble Zelda at all. This includes gameplay, the sense of exploration that the series exudes, and the feeling that you are a hero traveling through this mythical land.

All three of those things, the most important aspects of the series, could not be done in a movie, period. You could make a movie with a story related to Zelda, even bring in characters, music, and visual style... but in the end it would not be Zelda, at all. It'd be like one of those fanfics made by writers who have no clue what makes Zelda what it is, and just want to mess around with the characters and story.

It would resemble Zelda only on the most shallow of levels.




Do you truly not understand how silent heroes work? The point of them is that you're supposed to assume they do communicate with others, but because the developers do not give them specific lines, you're able to subconsciously build your own vision of their character. That would not be possible in a film, and there's no way they could create lines that matches more then few peoples' ideas of Link.

Yeah but all those things that are missed is what makes a game a game. In a Zelda game, you are playing out the story. In a movie, the story is being played out to you. If you try to make a Zelda movie match a Zelda game, then it won't work, because you can't add the interactivity into it. If that's wherer you're thinking it'll fail well then that wouldn't effect the storyline of the movie.

Everything you've said would make it not possible are elements exclusive to a game that are not included in any movie. At all. You are not the hero in any movie, only a game, or maybe a choose-your-own-adventure book which is a game in its own right. In the movie, you WATCH the hero and his story, you don't play it.

[world_trecker]

It might not effect the story line of the movie, but like I said, I wouldent put all of the boss fights, cause' people will know what to expect, and that would be boring. Instead, I'll put the important parts in the movie, such as the sages, the Temple of Time, and the legend itself. I would put bustlig everyday town people, to play Hyrule MArket, or I would put british catles to put Hyrul Castle. Or I might just put in real life CGI. But people, please tell me. Either CGI or real life perspective. Either silent or talkative.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Well...how would you make a CGI? In fact, how would you do real life? Do you have everything you need, are you prepared? Maybe you should think all that before starting...

[world_trecker]

Well I have the scripst almost ready. But their bad because they copy evry move Link does, plus, its about 100 pages long. That I need help with, plus I need people to recruit to do helping. Such as notify Miyamoto, Find actors, or draw characters, clip creating, petitioning, and even a website. Making a website I could do. but the rest its just to hard to do alone. So I need people to recruit to do the favor. In return, fame might occur.

[Nevermind]

Yeah...copying Link's every move and having it only 100 pages long is a pretty bad...

In a proper script format, 1 page = 1 minute.


I'd recommend leaving it to someone with a bit more experience if ever they were to pull it off.


Some things best left alone.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Come now Laz, give the guy a chance. Im pretty sure if he has a dream, he should best follow it.

(Woohoo!!! I have 1,000 posts now!)

[Fyxe]

Depends. I have a dream of creating a fully 3D Slayers game of utter real-time awesomeness, but I have no technical skill, no precendent, no... Anything other than a concept.

I'm not gonna follow it. All it is is a nifty idea in my head, nothing more.

A Zelda movie would only work if Nintendo made it. In fact, love them or hate them the only video game films that have been really true to the games and therefore fairly decent films to watch if you're a fan are the Pokemon movies.

A Zelda movie would also only work if it was animated.

[world_trecker]

Yes I understand very much. But SOMEONE OUT THERE PLEASE. WE have to contact Miyamoto. He created Zelda, and the only way that this is going to work is if thatsomeone contacts him. I also need a party. A party that can dop a series of things. Editing, idea's, clips, rights, notifying. It's the only way. Come on every one whos with me. THis can happen. It just needs time. FOR HYRULE. :swordlink

[~Light Goddess~]

Hey! world_trecker, you can do it if you really try hard!

[Mystic Kitsune]

I volunteer to do storyboard ...and i guess ill help you in ideas as well...as for contacting miyamoto-san, that might not be easy...

[world_trecker]

I could,...yes. BUt no...every moviemaker, ha a team. And that team does a sieries of jobs. ...*discouraged* :Link>_>:

[world_trecker]

Ok then Kitsune. You kan do that. Thanks. Now Anyone who would like to creat a petition and post it on a website?

[Mystic Kitsune]

Series of jobs eh?...oh well...if you need anything, just ask.

[world_trecker]

Well I'm done for. If only Dark~Nut was here. Mabey he could do something.

[Mystic Kitsune]

What do you mean youre done for? Just a few posts ago you were saying you werent going to give up...

[world_trecker]

Well I'm done for. If only Dark~Nut was here. Mabey he could do something.    

Just if anyone wants to help, that means more than one person. PM me. I'll be petitioning... sigh... :upset:

[Mystic Kitsune]

Good Luck with that...

[world_trecker]

I've changed my mind. No more pouting for me. I'm moving on up.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Thats the spirit! *ahem* but lets try not to get off topic here...

[world_trecker]

Yes. Exactly. A movie is not a game. Therefore no movie, no matter how well done, could possibly have any of the qualities that define Zelda, and therefore a good Zelda movie is impossible.

[world_trecker]

Is to not imposssible.. Lord of Shadow. I'm not givving up.

[Fyxe]

Yes. Exactly. A movie is not a game. Therefore no movie, no matter how well done, could possibly have any of the qualities that define Zelda, and therefore a good Zelda movie is impossible.

The Pokemon films have all the elements that define the Pokemon series, and the fans love them.

If Nintendo made it with Miyamoto's and Aonuma's direct involvement, a good one could very well be possible.

Take a look at the cutscenes in Wind Waker. They're all highly cinematic, and the final sequence could be the finale of any film. The problem is you're defining the elements of Zelda based on gameplay, rather than atmosphere.

[world_trecker]

Im already contacting Miyamoto thank you.

[Mystic Kitsune]

How are you contacting him anyhow? Through that site? Because if its email, you must not forget that miyamoto-san does not speak english...
