We now have Ganondorf cast, alongside Link and Zelda.

How do we feel about that Ganon casting? The other casting? The movie in general?

The Ganon casting is solid. He was great in Young Rock. Excited to see what he does with this.

I've been a fan of the Zelda games since I was a kid, so I'm really looking forward to this movie. So far, I actually like the casting.

I was also happy to hear that Sam Neill was part of the cast. If this really ends up being his final on-screen performance, that gives the movie an even more special place for me.

Has it been confirmed that Sam Neill filmed scenes for this?

Yeah, sounds like he did. But we don't know who he's playing.

I'm still struggling to wrap my head around a live-action Link, given that the character never speaks in the games. But I am excited to see what they do with it. And I'd like to place my bets now on Sam Neill as Rauru.

I just need one "Ex-CUSEEEEE ME, Princess!" from Link and I'm good.

I mean, it'd be nice to see something substantial from this before being excited one way or the other tbh. Optimistic but we need some more images or something at least

I still don't understand why they didn't go the animation route. The monster, the action, all that would look so much better with crisp animation (think Castlevania, for instance). From a storytelling perspective, I'm also worried about how they would deal with temples and collectibles, which are 100% of the time essential for any Zelda story, but work badly in a feature film context, as they are inherently episodic.

I'm keeping my mind open to the possibility that this will be good. But I do have serious questions that will only be answered after some footage is available.
