The prospect of a live action Zelda movie has been around for 10 years, and the discussion has been heated. Fans of the series are anxious and apprehensive about how the movie will turn out. Nintendo is making sure they put in the time and effort to create something that will satisfy their global fan base.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator and producer of the Zelda series, has been talking to Sony about the potential movie for a decade already. During a financial briefing, Miyamoto acknowledged the challenge of making a film that won't disappoint the fans. He also said that he had complete creative control of the Super Mario Bros. movie, so he will likely be just as heavily involved with the Zelda movie.
Miyamoto reassured everyone that he and Avi Arad, Chairman of Arad Productions Inc., are taking their time with the production and they hope to release something good. He also said that the movie will be faithful to the games as Nintendo doesn't want a mediocre film to ruin the success of the latest installment, The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.
Nintendo is enlisting some big names to help with the movie, including Wes Ball as the director and Derek Connolly as the scriptwriter. Connolly wrote the decent Detective Pikachu movie and the not-so-decent Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.
It's possible that the movie is the result of a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, which builds upon the near-partnership the two companies had back in the 90s. For a while, Nintendo and Sony were discussing a CD-ROM drive for the SNES, but Nintendo backed out, leading to Sony creating the original PlayStation.
It's safe to say that fans have high expectations from the movie, so it's no surprise that Nintendo is taking their time to make sure they get it right. We can only hope that the movie will be worth the wait.
