"Zelda" is quite possibly in some ways video game myth of the past generation, setting up archetypes and constantly morphing them throughout installments. The familiar characters as well as the franchise's penchant for world building make this franchise one that seems to be a lock for a motion picture.
Yet there are some challenges with turning the world of Hyrule into a movie. Here is a rundown of a few.
Remember that "Super Mario Bros?" movie back in 1993? Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't help but feel the sting of seeing one of the most iconic video game characters of all time get decimated on the silver screen. It was a painful experience, but also one that seemed to foreshadow the kind of sacrifice that gaming characters would endure for years on end.
The reality is that video games have not made good films, a shocking revelation when considers the wealth of content on order in the gaming world. For some odd reason however, Hollywood has not cracked the code.
So who can save the day and unite the two media in a manner that is worthy of both forms?
