Can a movie where the main character doesn't talk work?
I mean he kinda has to talk in the movie no?I could understand if they want to keep him mute in the games though
>>219499378He’s right, but the zelda games haven’t been Zelda since BotW either.
>>219499534so turn him into a Gosling-quiet type, that could work
>>219499378Might make an interesting thread.MOVIE PROTAGONISTS WHO SPEAK THE FEWEST WORDS
>>219499378He's called Link because he doesn't talk, he's the "link" between the player and the game. There's no reason for him to be called Link in the movie now, might as well call him Caleb.
>>219499704Maybe they can use AI to have the series characters call Link the name of whatever profile you’re signed into on Netflix
>>219499378>>219499534Baby Driver
I just don't see how this can work. Zelda games aren't really known for their riveting stories
>>219499636I think Hardcore Henry might be the winner. Does the protagonist even speak in that movie?
>>219499889Not seen that. I just thought, Dumbo in the old DIsney cartoon canonically can't speak.Then there's animal / robot protags. Lassie and so on.
>>219499866>aren't really known for their riveting storiesLink's Awakening was kinomaxxed.
>>219499636
>>219499378Plenty of movies where this has been done before. But for a kids movie?
>>219499378He should talk with the same voice and personality as the cd-i games.

>>219499533>but the zelda games haven’t been Zelda since BotW eitherWhy is that?
>>219499636>>219500115
>>219499378>I ride.
>>219499378But Link does talk.You don't see his exact dialogue in game because he's meant to be the player's avatar, so he only takes commands. But when he's interacting with other characters you can see dialogue options for him in several games and the others behave like he's responding to them.
>>219499378Nic Cage doesn't talk in Willy's Wonderland
they should just say at the beginning of the movie that he’s a former smoker and can’t talk due to the throat damage.
>>219499378I don't want him to talk, just make soft girlish moans while I'm pounding his prostate (no homo)
>>219499866what do you mean? Nearly every mainline game has a perfectly serviceable plot for a film adaptation.
>>219500145Zeldas are games characterized by hyper sensitive intentionality in the map and story. Having a gigantic GTA area mostly built and filled by interns is a more core departure than a lot of people realized
>>219499378Wdym? He says HUT HUT HYAH HAAA all the time
>>219499866Majora's Mask is one of the better kid's fantasy stories told in the last 70 years
>>219500266OoT's dozens of empty grottos filled with a single chest with a red rupee is not better than hundreds of shrines filled with actual content and an orb.
>>219500325Technological limitations of back in the day. But each dungeon was extremely well thought, unlike in the BOTW era which are also lackluster.

>>219500431dungeons sure, but the caves in TOTK especially beat the shit out of OoT's grottos
he's making an allegory about womenpowerful stuff
>>219500325You're using a piece of parsley on the edge of a plate to describe a meal. Breath of the wild is not a bad game by the way, it just isn't informed by the design sensibilities of the old ones in almost any way
>>219500431>>219500479Fuck that the gerudo and goron dungeons are great in TotK.The dungeons in both games are a product of the games ethos though. The freedom. The only way they could make traditional dungeons is by locking items in there and making it cells. BotW dungeons are cells but TotK are in the world.Dungeons are the weakest parts of both games though. Which is a shame though like I said it is a product of teh games ethos and as a whole the games are top tier, with only BotW now being made obsolete because of TotK.FYI rumours are they are remaking OoT, and if they are it will most likely be expanded in scale rather than reskin like the 3Ds version.I can see them actually doing is as a switch 2 system seller. They are still supposed to be working on a new zelda game too.If that rumour of OoT remake is true it is supposed to be released this year. Would guarantee be using the same engine too.
>>219499378Happened with Valhalla RisingNot sure it even counts since there were like 14 words said in the whole movie
>>219500305I dont think kids raised on skibidi toilet and 67 are going to be able to grasp the story of majoras mask
>>219500179This is true, I think the real challenge is giving him a proper personality. You'd have to be a little stupid if Link does end up speaking, but they really need to nail his character if he does speak. That's definitely where the movie either works or doesn't.
>>219500894Remaking OoT like a BotW game is absolutely disgusting.
>>219499378it would be kino if they made him a mute
>>219499378https://x.com/ima_1966/status/2041893906451984604Zelda art director says that journos are exaggerating his statement.
Sure. Just have him be cursed with a silence spell and there you go!
>>219499378Have they announced yet whether the movie is going to be open world?
>Avi Arad is producing>Nintendo seal means jackshit after the Mario Galaxy Movie>Maze Runner films were midwho fucking has hope for this film?
>>219501603I'll watch it just to goon to Twink Link.
>>219501439Why? OOT was already the BOTW of its time anyway, and what exactly are you afraid they could ruin by taking the framework and making it bigger, with more content and player freedom?
>>219499378blue eyes look demonic ngl
>>219501692Are you scared of ice wardens?
>>219500431>Technological limitations of back in the dayThe devs said before BOTW came out this was the main reason the 3D games never became as open ended as the 2D ones. If Nintendo had the proper hardware we would've had a BOTW-like game in like 2010
>>219501439No it is not>>219501677>taking the framework and making it biggerThis is about all they need to do.think of a massively expanded areas of all the areas in OoT. With stuff to do, caves for secrets, wild animals, enemies. Basically make ist a realistic place rather than a series of interconnected cells.It would be a massive undertaking but it would be brilliant.They would have to increase the dark tone more to make adult and child link distinct. It might also be difficult to limit the players abilities with the world a lot larger but they can just keep all of the puzzles as they were, just different locations based on how larger the world is.Only thing they would need to really rebuild from ground up is the dungeons.I would be welcome for it and it would get me to buy a switch 2.I only bought a switch for TotK.People often forget that OG LoZ was open world and BotW was intended to recreate that feeling, which it did successfully. Coming from someone who played the game as a kid, BotW gave me the same magical feeling that LoZ did.If they did the same for OoT it would again be the GOAT game.
>>219500894>FYI rumours are they are remaking OoT,LMAO people have been saying this since before the Switch came out. You people just cling to anything. Just shut the hell up. It's just going to be a FFVII/ Resident evil remake situation where the same people clamoring for it end up saying how it doesn't hold up to the original.
>>219501773I wish they'd do a 3D Link to the Past instead of OoT again. Yes LTTP is already perfect but I want to see it in 3D.
>... And as for you Ganondorf....>Triforce time...
>>219501866It is a recent rumour you fucking retard.https://www.ign.com/articles/as-ocarina-of-time-remake-rumors-swirl-co-developer-discusses-the-legend-of-zelda-series-future>IGN linkI know, It was just the more recent and from a vidya rag I could queick search.Anyway gist is some trusted leaker has said they are remaking it and its been in development for a while and is coming later this year, holiday season.I have not heard people rumouring that there was a planned OoT remake since before the switch, you are just being a fucking retard.Also the remake madness didnt even start at that point, It wasnt until late in the PS4 gen remakes started to become common.This rumour is not supposed to be a reskin like the 3Ds version, it is supposed to be a full on remake.Though whether we can trust the rumour is something else.
>>219502014Yea dawg, I ain't the retard here. You're just another drone who hops on the hype train and comes out saying some tripe like "they raped my childhood" go duck yourself.
>>219502129>hype train>explain rumour>be american retard>cant read>makes shit up in his head>doubles down on being a retardFucking off yourself you spastic
>>219499378Link talks all the time
>>219502209Remember when reddit hyped themselves up on hunter being cast as Zelda even though there was no interest and then they lost their mind when he wasn't?
>>219502244I thought all zeldas were supposed to have kids at some point? I know link is some awakened spirit and can be anyone or something
>>219499378Literally Drive
>>219502176No. I'm done with your type. And you're a moron not realizing the validity of your punk-ass leak was never in question here. It's the cycle of this "game remake culture" I'm tired of. Your lack of self awareness is apparent.
>>219499821and valhalla rising
>>219499378If it can work for a show, it can work for a movie.
>>219502229I think a lot of people have forgotten the 80's Zelda cartoon. We've already had an example of a Link that is very talkative with a lot of personality.
>>219500266>Zeldas are games characterized by hyper sensitive intentionality in the map and story.I disagree. I think they're characterised by reinveting themselves regularly. All the mainline Zeldas introduced major new gimmicks. Sailing in WW, Time Travel in OoT, 3 day loop in MM, Wolf/Dark realm and darker story in TP, flying+mainHub in SWS, nonlinear dungeons in Link Between Worlds, etc. etc.Zelda games doing something very different than the game before it is pretty in character and BotW/TotK just shook up the formula more than usual.Never understood how Zelda fans are so allergic to change when the games are already vastly different. Just a lil nonlinearity and people lose their minds.At the end of the day, I'm having fun both with old and new Zelda titles so Idc.
>>219499378not at all for a mainstream film

>>219499378>>219499534>>219499534>>219499636If they actually go for it and pull it off it'd be amazing
>>219499889Not as shitty a movie as one might think, astonishingly enough
>>219503290Link having a personality is out of character
>>219499378what did they mean by this
Just for practical purposes he should speak in the movie but he should be a man of words. Actually more like Twink of few words.
Link being silent in all the games is something you don't realize until it's pointed out to you.The general public has no idea, and I'd say most players who have played multiple modern Zeldas don't realize Link doesn't talk.He's gonna talk and it'll be fine.
>>219499378All the other characters do the talking.
>>219502229The pics they chose to introduce Zelda screams bitchy boss girl shit. Goddamn. If the audience wanted to see a Zelda kead string female Zelda or female lead anything then metroud woukd be a bigger series. This is a bad direction.
>>219501677People are going to hate it because they're going to use the botw combat and inventory system which /v/irgins don't like.
I have no faith in this movie because Sony is making it. I still plan on seeing it , but i'm not gonna pay to do it. Just so I can bitch about it online properly. Link better end up in drag at some point because its a recurring theme in the series.
>>219499378I don't care if it "works", it will ruin my perception of the character to see him talk and therefore I am simply not watching this movie.
>>21949953410/10 movie that one.
>>219506884>is something you don't realize until it's pointed out to you.That's true to me in other games too, like GTA 3. Never realized Claude was actually mute until Catalina flat out says that in San Andreas.
>>219502209Tingle if thin.
>>219509659If it didn’t happen in 2D, it’s not a recurring theme.
>>219499378I liked all is lost
>>219503290Yea and it's fucking gay
>>219509659Nintendo is heavily involved since they're very protective of the IP, so hopefully it shouldn't be offensively bad.
>>219499378all link need to say is >Yes>No
>>219500286Oh yeah, link canonically does have a voice that you can hear. I wonder if you could take all his battle cries and use AI voice cloning to get an idea of what he would canonically sound like if he spoke full sentences.
>>219505478Everyone who so vehemently hates the BOTW/TOTK games need to read this.
>>219505478>>219510885Yes I hate BOTW/TOTK and need to adress this. I have a major problem that they remove anything that makes it zelda. The problem is that they're doing more than reinventing, they're breaking the core mechanic of the game which is IMO the temples and item collection. Having a non-linear game is just not as good. Items breaking implies that no item has a meaning anymore, doesnt matter if you got a very good one recently, it will break.Having no order in the areas make them undeserved and forgettable. Your not earning or unlocking a new area, in fact you can just go to the final boss directly if you want. The shrines are soulless. They take a core mechanic, the puzzle solving and just kinda mass produce it. Making it the same enemies, same rewards, same style. I puzzle in the middle of a dungeon, unlocking a unique mini boss, and an item/key unlock is rewarding. The alternative is a generic shrine, one of 700. You cannot disagree with this. It is still a good game, but it is such a massive waste of opportunity to not have the same dynamics as the previousn games. The world and graphics are great, try it with 4 larger dungeons, the classic items (i just realized there are barely any items in the new ones?), sidequests! New songs you learn. The older games are just way better. I remember playing skyward sword and that is way too linear, and this is the opposite. Both windwaker, majoras, OOT have all been more or less a good balance open world and linear progression. The new direction must be some "new audience" adaptation too make it more generic. Like we see in tv and films nowadays.Regarding the OOT movie, It would be extremely kino to have him not speak. Several movies have tried, the latest being 3 Iron which i enjoyed very much.
They need to do this to appeal to zoomers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC656o7_zVk

>>219499534What ever happened to her
>>219499636Valhalla rising
I love that Link doesn't speak. It's his way of silently shrugging off the weight of the entire world. Homie just slicing and dicing monsters with his sword, completely stonefaced. Being told tragic, life-altering information and just nodding before running off to the next thing.Every once in a while he'll have a good anime style reaction to something, especially if it's somebody flirting with him or exposing their general weirdness to him. I don't have high hopes for the movie, as I don't think the story is nearly captivating enough as something to consume vs something to play/experience. Genuinely don't really have an idea for how they could do this project proper justice.
This movie is gonna be bad
>>219506664Saar
>>219499378>lose the "magic"that director knows the art of auramaxxing
>>219499378I think they could have him say a few lines but be quiet overall
>>219499704No he's the "Link" between autism and the japanese
>>219506455the guy from District 9 completely carried the movie
>>219516041The main villain being an albino telekinetic Tommy Wiseau was pretty great though
>>219499378an fantasy action epic with a silent protaganist? Could be done, could be great.
>>219499378So it’s gonna be like Hardcore Henry but with Link?
>>219501692fun fact there are actually two entirely different genetic mutations that can give you blue eyes, one of them developed in western europe in the neolithic and the other one in central asia where the aryans come from, both human groups are literally as different from each other as negroes are form whites but they evolved to look exactly the same
>>219501410Duuude. What if like, you record your voice and AI just generate what Link talking using your voice. Like you go into the cinema with earphones and that version is piped into your ear.
>>219499378Only if it's directed by Refn
>>219499636Fury Road
>>219499378Silent Night (2023) did it. It's a John Woo flick too. It holds up, but I imagine your average normie ain't gonna be able to sit through it
>>219499378Treat Link like a western protagonist a-la >>219499636.
>>219499378Really need a fairy to hangout with him and talk for him.Him occasionally yelling or being mute because of child hood....trauma..would be an interesting twist.
>>219503290True. Link's perfect personality has already been solved.

>>219518861the legend of zelda series isnt "fast enough" for a 96 action scene like hardcore henry to work. hardcore henry isnt even a "good movie", its just fun to watch spectacle. which is fine.
it's worked once before
>>219526416The golden hair blue eyed character is japanese?You're all retarded. The character talks in every single game, he even has a voice actor for each one, it's just not as much as others so the player can projecy themselves into the game.

Seeing OOT trannies seethe about breath of the wild will always be funny.
>>219499636>No.
>>219499378>>219499636Nicholas Cage literally made a silent protagonist movie and it's greatWilly's WonderlandI don't know why you guys think is rare or difficult to make, you should watch more fucking movies
>>219505478As a Zelda fan, open world is the killer of inventionYou prove yourself to be wrong by your own argument:Botw gimmick was "open world"Then totK... is open worldThen echoes of wisdom... is open worldLeterally defeating yourself there retard
>>219531432>hardcore henry isnt even a "good movie"How do you figure? Because it touches upon a lot of the same themes of perception and reality as The Matrix.
