Legend of Zelda thread - Lorefags GTFO!

Lone Star said:
Like I said, it's one thing when the cutscenes were just text boxes. When voice acting was introduced and you can actually hear characters talking about serious issues or saying their goodbyes to Link, it's weird that he just silently stares back at them. Or in cutscenes with Link and more than one other person, he just stands in the background so everyone else can chat. If they're going to change the games and make them more cinematic, Link needs to change to fit the shift.

Those are issues that only effect TOTK and BOTW, both of which were the wrong direction for the games to go.

You don't really think those are going to be the only Zelda games with voice acting, do you?

Is that what you read? I said BOTW and TOTK went in the wrong direction for the series. That includes adding voices to the characters.
Are there going to be more? Probably, but that's still the wrong direction.

Big agree here. I dislike voice acting in general and the amount of space it takes up is shitty icing on a shit cake.

Also I am thinking of returning to the game soon-ish. Already beat it but want to finish off a bunch of stuff. I need to play games like this in chunks. There was a learning phase of about 20 hours, then a break followed by 100 hours of real, solid play. And after a while away we have to do the post game for a couple dozen hours.

How hard was it to find a good anime studio and give us an animated Zelda movie?

Nintendo is in this for burger bucks so they are going illumination/live action to maximize them. A 2D film would have been amazing and probably a much better move but American children don't watch 2D movies because they 'look old' and animation is exclusively for children over here unless it's family guy.

Ganon is the main evil guy, he can't be black,

He can be but only if he's actually a misunderstood good guy who is acting evil to stop Demise or the ACTUALLY evil white king of Hyrule.

Not even just with Zelda, but this is general makes me sad. I miss big 2D animation projects. Best we get is pseudo-not-quite 2D stuff like the Spider-Verse movie.

From what I understand the ability and infrastructure needed to make large quality 2D animated films like there used to be just straight up doesn't exist in the states anymore.

I've read how that pesky unionization led companies to prefer 3D over 2D. It's just sad watching Batman: The Animated Series and seeing how thoroughly the West could beat the East, if only every studio of any importance weren't thoroughly conquered by the cabal that rules everything in this society. The talent and will is there, but the CEO would rather obey orders from BlackRock and force some garbage through so he can get another yacht. Every artist who gets a decent wage is another hooker off whom he can't snort some more coke.

Except for Kirby! Right Back at Ya, cause that anime was badass, and its accompanied by a badass theme song (for the American 4Kids dub that is)

I thought you hated anime? Kirby was okay, I've always wanted to watch the F-Zero one but never got around to it. The Mario film was neat too, but it's pretty old so it doesn't feel like modern Mario.

Nintendo seems to be oddly averse to doing anime for their series now (Pokemon aside), I wonder why.
