The live-action fantasy genre has certainly taken off in the last few decades. The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones franchises take place entirely in their own worlds without acknowledging the one we live in.  For many years, this was not the case. Other popular live-action fantasy movies from the 1980s and early 1990s often had characters that came from the “real” world that were magically transported to the fantastical world. Movies like Labyrinth and even the infamous Super…

One of the first announcement Nintendo made on their new app Nintendo Today! was that the live-action Zelda film is scheduled to be released on March 26th, 2027. This announcement means that the current release date for the Zelda film is less than two years away. While release dates are subject to change, this is significant because it means that the preproduction process is moving forward; there is the possibility that fans might hear about casting in the next few…

Nintendo announced via the newly released Nintendo Today! app that the Legend of Zelda live-action movie will be releasing worldwide on March 26th, 2027. This comes as the first major announcement regarding the movie since it was officially announced in November 2023. Nintendo has partnered up with Sony to bring Nintendo’s long-running adventure series to the big screen. Producer Avi Arad (Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse, Uncharted) is working in close collaboration with Shigeru Miyamoto to develop this film. Derek Connolly (Pokémon…

A recent interview with long-time Nintendo marketing manager Gail Tilden brought to light a very intriguing fact. When Tilden asked if Miyamoto would be open to a Zelda movie with legendary director Steven Spielberg himself at the helm, the answer was “always ‘no.’”  My first thought was, what made him change his mind? But that’s a debate for another day. Today, I wish to present a different question: who would we, the fans, choose to be the ideal Zelda movie director?…

After years of failure, video game adaptations are now incredibly hot commodities in film and streaming. Netflix has played host to the acclaimed Arcane: League of Legends and two well-received Castlevania shows. Amazon struck gold with their live-action show Fallout, which became one of the most watched show on the entire Prime Video streaming service. HBO’s The Last of Us has become a critical and ratings success, and the show received a total of 24 Prime Time Emmy Nominations for its…

Al is at the helm once again, and this week she is joined by one of The Zelda Cast’s producers, Cal! Now, many might not know this, but this mashup happened once before, on a Zelda Cast Top Tens Patreon episode last summer. Well, that happens to be the inspiration for today’s episode. Alasyn and Cal decided to expand beyond their opinions of that one bonus episode, and share their top picks on every bonus episode! What are the best…

The rumor mill’s hard at work churning speculation about the Switch 2. It’s easy to be so invested in what Nintendo’s planning for the new console that we forget there’s another important project on the horizon. The Zelda movie’s coming despite us not knowing much about it.  That lack of knowledge won’t stop our thinking and dreaming about Link’s foray onto the silver screen! We can discuss (and we have!) what Zelda story it might adapt, whether Link will speak,…

Everyone loves a good story. Whether that story is told visually through movies, television, and video games, or through the written word. One of my favorite hobbies, and the hobby I indulge in the most, is reading. Lately I have been enjoying reading larger fantasy series that encompass multiple books to tell one large story – think Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, or Throne of Glass. Upon starting a new series the other day it got me thinking,…

Video games adaptations have become hot commodities in film and television over the past five years. On streaming, shows like Fallout, The Last of Us, and Arcane: League of Legends have been critical and ratings successes. In 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed $1.36 billion USD worldwide, breaking a variety of box office records. Mario’s old rival, Sonic the Hedgehog, has also been racking up box office success. The film Sonic the Hedgehog grossed over $300 million USD worldwide,…

Happy Monday, Zelda fans. This week, we’ve got a breezy show that focuses on Okami’s return at The Game Awards and our thoughts on the state of Geoff Keighly’s show, what we thought the high points and low points for the Zelda franchise were in 2024, and what we can expect to see from the series in 2025 – everything from the debut of the Switch 2, possible casting news in the Zelda Movie, ports finally coming to Switch to…
