Hello fellow Zelda Dungeoners. So we know that the Japanese ALTTP release trailer was in a musical form. So I was wondering what your guys opinions one Nintendo creating an actual musical.
Here's a few questions to think about:
If it was based on a game, what game would it be?
Who many acts would there be?
Where would the setting be?
Would it fit into the timeline without any questioning?
How would play the parts? Would it be big the big shots or the little shots.
This is my opinion on this matter.
I would love for there to be a Zelda musical. I wouldn't really want it based on any game, it would be like "yeah, yeah, we know. Pull the Master Sword already!". So a fresh idea would attract a big audience. And there's plenty of scenes in the games where a musical number could be added. Here's a few examples:
1. During the final battles in Ocarina
2. Romani sings when Link firsts goes to Romani Ranch.
3. Din sings when we first see her in OOS.
4. During the ending scenes of Majora's.
I think that, depending on the story line, two to three acts is the right number. If Ocarina is a musical, then act one is Child Link, act two is Adult Link.
The setting and timeline placement? Well it depends on what it's based on and what characters appear. If the story takes place immediately after The Minish Cap, the final scene in TMC is scene one in the musical, I wouldn't want to see Skull Kid, Marin, Saria. They don't belong in that part of the timeline. It would create great confusion if they did that.
I would not want big stars to play the roles. If they did, then it would destroy the illusion that we're actually in this mystical land of Hyrule, Termina, or Squguleesmuk. If someone like Natalia Portman played Zelda, nobody would like it. She's too well known. But if that person that has only stared in one or two film, and maybe a minor musical role, she would portray Zelda just right. But they should also have a couple of bigger stars in the musical, like Pearl Bailey. She did the voice of Big Mama in Disney's The Fox And The Hound. I think that Pearl Bailey would make a fine Impa. Her personality is just like Impa, both have the personality of a kind loving mother, and that is what Impa is - a (unofficial) mother to Zelda.
Well, now that I've had some time to talk about this, what do you guys think? Would a Zelda Musical great? Let's hear what you have to say.
