I have zero hopes they can pull this off. Links game personality doesn't translate well to film. Nits just gonna be a teenage fantasy romance.

Probably 10-15 years ago I found a project from a bunch of high schoolers called Legend of Link. I always felt like the very self-aware, tongue-in-cheek tone translates really well. But I don't think an official project could pull that off as well.

It's very rare for Zelda to have actual romance, it's only been Skyward Sword and BotW / TotK. I'm sure Miyamoto and Aonuma would rip some hearts out if someone tried to steer this movie too far from the games like that.

Using the Mario movie for reference, this will be a very targeted release.

This movie is made for the BotW/TotK crowd. There is a nearly zero chance that this movie has reference to any other console Links. It will be a fantasy played straightforward because Nintendo doesn't do memes or references unless it's to an existing game that does, like Smash.
