I've been fascinated with the Zelda series. If there is a movie, should link talk? (I'll be starting new topics having to do with a Zelda movie in the future :))

If its an anime, then probably not so much. He should have the same amount of dialog that Cloud had in FFVII Advent Childern. If its a live action movie, then Link should probably be modeled on Jaquine Phoenix's (sp) character from 'The Villiage'. His manorisums, dialog and acting in that movie completely remind me of any RPG character. Especially the part where that woman came up to him and confessed her love for him, and he just stood there and said nothing, and then she ran away crying. Classic RPG moment.

If he didnt talk then it would be kinda strange because the main charecter *( who by the way you would probably see the most duh) would just do things and you would assume what he was thinking and doing so i think he should talk

ok, so, not many are enthusiastic if there was a movie. I personally don't care whether there is or isn't, but I think that Link should be a mute ^^.

If you want Link to speak then that means you hate America man!! You bloody comunist!
Just kidding, seriously though, Link should not speak... ever. It just wouldn't feel right.

A Zelda movie wouldn't work even, especially, if Link spoke. Like I said, just wouldn't feel right.

If there ever is gonna be a Zelda movie it should be something like what Peter Jackson did for LOTR or the Potter movies with the books. It should be made with great dedication and may not be screwed up. I think i have to agree with the idea that Link doesn't need much to say, just like cloud has in FF:AC just to follow up Zelda tradition. It's meant to be that way. Link got his mysterious and 'cool' character because of it and that should be put in the movie if it ever get's on the big screen.

First of all, the only way that I can personally see a Zelda movie working out is if it was entirely computer animated. Although the series is already epic in itself, I just feel that the transition from the game to a "live-action" movie would not work out for a countless number of reasons. Secondly, if (and this is a big if) they ever did go through with making some type of Zelda movie I believe that they should have him do nothing more than the occasional grunts that have become somewhat of a tradition throughout the series. I'm sure that many of the longtime Zelda fans (including myself) have a certain voice in mind that we give to Link, but if they were to go and give him one set voice it would somewhat take away from the mysticism of the series.

I think so. But he should only say "Yes", "No", and "Link".

I accually believe there has been made a serie with Link and Zelda where Link talks, and of course in a movie, you can't have any person who don't talk, but I don't think there should be any movie. However, if what you mean is like a movie of a game, I think Link should only nod or shake his head.

I agree with You PSGuRu... a movie would never worked out and if they would make a silenced type out of link (just saying Yes, No and link) why wouldn't he say more than that?

ok, the question is not whether you wish there would be a movie or not. The question is whether or not he should speak in the movie itself.

well once I saw this parody where "link from Oot sees Ww link playing his ocarina and starts yelling at him. the link from Lttp starts to argue with him and the funniest thing he says  is "well you where raised by a tree when you wanted to buy something  he'd say "sorry son money doesn't grow on me."" then Ww link says "sigh this is why we never talk."

Link should never talk. If he talked, it would just turn into one of those stupid-assed Legend of Zelda shows that was on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. "GEEZ, Princess!"

EXCUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS! In all realism though, he shouldn't talk, or be limited to about as much dialogue that Cloud had form Advent Children.

In my opinion I think Zelda would make a poor film. It's an excellent game series, but cinematically speaking it's missing a lot.

What would be so cool would be if Link didn't talk the whole movie but in the end when whoever the antagonist is (most likely Ganondorf) was about to kill Zelda Link would all like, "ZELDA!" And he'd kill Ganondorf with this ultra cool move :D

Its been said by others already, but anime yes, live action don't even bother making the movie. And if it was anime, very limited speech to almost give an enigmatic view of the character. If they made a live action movie I would probably kill myself. Can you see Matt Damon playing Link? Sorry, I think not.

I agree with this standpoint, i would never wish to see a live action film but a anime would be great, Nintendo could easily command the services of japans best anime illustrators plus they could probally get studio Ghibli to work on the project as Miyamoto and Hayao Miyazaki are very good friends, plus his approach to animation would lend itself perfectly well to the Zelda series.

First and foremost, like many people have said, the film must be anime, anything else would be a complete disgrace to the LoZ series. Second, should Link talk? No - of course not! Link doesn't talk in the games well he screams, if you class that as talking, so why should he talk in the movie? Here's an idea though...what would it be like if it was subtitled (obviously not every character), just Link and the text went by just like in the games...wouldn't that give it an authentic look?

Oh, I also saw a comment that a LoZ movie is in production - since when? I've heard nothing of this, if anyone has and links on this - I'd appreciate it, I'm sure others would aswell.

First of all, where have you ever heard that Miyazaki and Miyamoto are friends? Being an obbsessive fan of both, I see very little credibility in that. Second, Miyazaki is working on his final movie right now. After that, unless I'm mistaken, he will be a retired man (for good this time!).

I agree that Link should use subtitles in a Zelda movie, though I think the movie should be of real people.  It would seem too childish like WW.  Real people would give it that intensity.

subtitles? uhh, whatever, I'm not even going to bother debating this because anyone who said that in the first place obviously doesn't bother to think about what he's posting. Let me just ask you this: how much of the general popular would see a movie in which the main character only talks in subtitles? Not very much, it would alienate a huge chunk of the potential consumer base. Then, you say that it appearing as an anime would make it seem childish? Sorry to ruin your little fantasy world there buddy, but the vast majority of anime is much more violent and mature than anything the western world dishes out, real people, animated or otherwise.

Hmmm now you mention it, introducing subtitles into the movie would be pathetic - guess I didn't think about that, doh! But what other options are there? We've never heard Link speak to anyone, so wouldn't it be a big risk introducing an actor for him? It could work, though, but it could completley ruin it.

The easiest way to solve theproblem would be to just give him a voice, then they wouldn't have to bother with some other way of doing it. What bothers me though is how they would keep a deep story throughout the movie. They should probably cut ut the dungeons to a maximum of two and always have some kind of conversation going on. It wouldn't be Zelda, that's for sure.
