Reminds me of IGN April fools prank for 2008.

There is usually a reason so many video games to film don't make things 100% like the game. I still maintain that while Link looks really cool and heroic in the game, no one in the real world could ever dress like him and look anything short of silly.

I once checked a players guide for the first Zelda game out from the library. It was an unofficial guide, so it didn't use Nintendo's cartoon Link from the manual on the cover. The cover it did have I found incredible intriguing, and that is when I had first wished they would make a Zelda movie. It was just you typical farmboy like character decked out in a simple brown leather mail, curly blond hair, no hat, carrying a sword in one hand and a candle in the other as he decended a spiral dungeon stairway. To me that cover captured the feel of the original Zelda game perfectly.

If a Zelda film adaption is ever to be successful visually, IMHO, it has to ditch the familiar Zelda imagery which just looks goofy in real life, and aim for the essence of the series. Which is ultimately exploration mixed with adventure, not knowing what is around that next corner or through the next door.
