The Legend of Zelda Movie Needs to be the Opposite of the Mario Movies

A Legend of Zelda adaptation might have been more worrying fifteen years ago, but recent years have actually seen a lot of successful video game movies and TV shows. We’ve seen hits like The Last of Us and Fallout that appeal to both fans and new viewers, as well as family-friendly films like The Super Mario Movie and the upcoming The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The success of Mario is particularly notable because the games don’t have a deeply complex story like The Last of Us. This gives the Mario adaptations more freedom with the plot and overall tone, but that approach wouldn’t work for every game.
