The much-loved game, The Legend of Zelda, is at last receiving its live-action adaptation. Recently, the movie's director stepped forward to address a crucial question concerning one of the game's central characters.
No doubt, The Legend of Zelda stands as one of the most significant game franchises in history, and its leap to the big screen was long overdue. The recent announcement of a live-action adaptation surprised many fans. Now, the director tasked with bringing this long-awaited adaptation to life has answered a crucial question about its main character.
In an interview with Comicbook.com, director Wes Ball provided some intriguing details about the forthcoming movie adaptation of the cherished game. Yet, the primary query lingering in many fans' minds is: Will Link talk? Despite the character's lack of full voice acting in the game, this question holds significant weight for the film. However, Ball's response remained elusive, leaving it more of a tantalizing mystery for fans to anticipate.
Ball shrugged and jokingly stated:
«A or B or C. I'll just have it like the game – you just have a little dialogue boxes pop up in the movie and you pick which one you want. Link does communicate to villagers all over through the game, you just don't hear his voice.»
While Link's dialogue might not have been showcased in the game, it has been depicted in other franchise media like manga. It appears that Ball is playfully avoiding giving a clear answer to keep the anticipation high for the upcoming movie. It is still unclear how they will approach Link's character. However, he reassured fans of his dedication, emphasizing his deep personal connection to the game:
«I grew up on playing that game since I was a kid. You know, it's super important to me. I mean, that, that was, that transported me to worlds, you know, that occupy my imagination forever. It's part of my DNA, you know what I mean? So I'm a giant fan and so I'm gonna, I'm gonna approach it that way and try to give people what they want but try to make something great, something worthy of the property, you know what I mean? That's kind of all I can do.»
