Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Rants are nice when they get published twice

FEELING GREAT, FEELING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
Congratulations! However... a Zelda movie would be terrible. Mostly because
a) it would undoubtedly get ruined by Uwe Boll or some such
b) the plot of the games isn't at all suited to be adapted for a movie. every game has the same plot: collect x number of magical item in x number of dungeons, then fight ganon and rescue the princess. there are no important subplots, and not much in the way of characterization. virtually the entire framework for the plot is backstory about hte sages or whatever. so, either the whole movie would consist mostly of long, boring, pointless scenes where link just hacks and slashes his way through the forest area, then the fire area, then the water area, and finally through ganon's castle, and also some other pointless scenes where the Great Elder tells Link about how the Seven Sages lifted the Seven Seals seven hundred years ago to trap Ganon, and now he has broken free OR the screenwriters would be forced to come up with a completely different plot unrelated to the games. which begs the question:
c) why would you even want a Zelda movie? the Zelda series isn't that unique in terms of setting or plot, any other fantasy epic would serve just about as well for a movie. the plot and setting of the Zelda series were meant for an optimal game experience, and turning those elements into a cinematic experience would just suck. either you'd have to change everything about the games, making the movie indistinguishable from some generic fantasy series, or deal with a really sucky movie.
