‘Legend of Zelda’ Movie Confirmed? Live-Action Series On Netflix Rumored!
Fans and gamers all over the world waited for years for the widely acclaimed video-game "Legend of Zelda" to have a movie adaption, and rumors had them buzzing about a film on the works with speculations of a potential cast and a live-action series on Netflix, as stated by sources.
The iconic Nintendo video-game title "Legend of Zelda" creator Shigeru Miyamoto and its game designer, Takashi Tezuka, recently discussed in an interview with MTV the potential movie adaption of the game and the cast to comprise it, as reported by Game N Guide.
As fans of the titular game "Legend of Zelda" would know, the main character, Link, was portrayed as somewhat of an androgynous character and that Takashi Tezuka told MTV that he would like the main protagonist of the movie to be casted and played by a woman, as reported by the Independent.
"With Japanese TV drama and film they always use the same actors so I actually think we should have someone completely new," Shigeru Miyamoto said, courtesy of Gamespot.
"It would be very fun and awesome if Link was played by a female actress - a boyish female actress," the game designer said, courtesy of the Independent.
"This is something I never imagined because Link is very different to how a Japanese person looks," Miyamoto added, as stated by Gamespot. "At the Japanese Expo I attended, there were so many people in cosplay who looked very good. They would be good," he further added.
As such, speculations of who can be casted as Link in a "Legend of Zelda" movie adaption spurred a short list of actresses, such as Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Elizabeth Olsen, and many more, as listed by the Forbes.
Moreover, it was confirmed that the rumored "Legend of Zelda" live-action series on Netflix is not true, according to Sourcefed.
"As of now, I have nothing new to share with you in regard to the use of our IPs for any TV shows or films, but I can at least confirm that the article in question is not based on correct information," former Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said, courtesy of Movie Pilot.
