Video game movies are becoming more and more popular, and part of this is because beloved properties are finally getting the chance to hit the big screen. One of these is The Legend of Zelda, which will have a live action adaptation. However, the possibility has arisen that we will also see The Wind Waker on the big screen, something that the writers of Sonic the Hedgehog would love to make a reality.
In a recent interview with IGN for the premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Pat Casey and Josh Miller, writers of this film, revealed that the two would love to make an adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the big screen. This is what Miller commented on the matter:
“I think another easy question we can answer, because the movie is already underway and we’re not making it yet, would be Zelda. I remember whenever we played Wind Waker, we were always like, ‘Man, it would probably be weird if they made a Zelda movie to start with Wind Waker instead of the more classic Hyrule.’ But we both loved Wind Waker and it’s very cinematic. Yes. So, after they make this Zelda movie, maybe we can do a Wind Waker spin-off.”
Along with the GameCube classic, the duo would also be willing to bring Golden Ax and A Boy and His Blob to the big screen. However, before some of these projects become a reality, the writers are working on an adaptation of It Takes Two, and will most likely be involved in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Along with this, the final decision is in the hands of Nintendo, and the possibility of seeing more of Link’s adventures on the big screen will depend on how well the live action of The Legend of Zelda does in the future. On related topics, they leak The Wind Waker HD for Switch. Likewise, Zelda mechanics would have been implemented in Ghost of Yotei.
Author’s Note:
The Wind Waker is such a magical game that it probably won’t work in the movies. What makes this title special is not so much the story, although this follows an important factor, but the feeling of sailing through the Great Ocean, something that sounds very difficult to replicate in the cinema.
