By now, I’m sure many Nintendo Gal readers have seen the fake trailer for a Zelda movie, posted on April Fool’s Day by IGN. Some were disappointed that it was a fake, while others were relieved; I personally fell into the latter category, having seen some leaked GIFs well before April Fool’s Day came around. The whole affair, though, along with modern-day film adaptations of video games, got me to thinking: how would it be like if Nintendo were to truly make a Zelda movie? Who would be in it? What would the plot be? Would we have to listen to Navi yelling "HEY! LOOK! LISTEN!" the entire time? Read on to find my thoughts on the issue.
I should first note that I’m probably not going to dwell much on actors in this article, mainly because I don’t get into the business of knowing actors very well. Besides that, though, it’s just not one of my main concerns, as long as Keanu Reeves is wholly uninvolved with the affair. Generally, a good actor/actress can adapt well to new roles, and there’s plenty out there so I don’t think we need to worry about it per se. Speculating would be fun, of course, but again I don’t know many actors/actresses very well.
