Plodding Along
A time ago, the idea entered my head, that I should try to write a screenplay for a Legend of Zelda Movie. I...have some experience with the craft. I write well. Legend of Zelda is different from Lord of the Rings. It would translate differently from video game to movie screen.
Where video game is mostly about game play and playing the dungeons, a movie would focus very much on the many connections between the many characters in the games. Their connections, their emotions towards each other. I am convinced that a proper movie would focus on the relationships between link, his uncle, zelda, the master sword, the gorons, his responsibility, Malon, Saria, Epona, everyone in the games.
It is like a large family. The connections are there. I want to base the screen-play on the characters and their relationships towards each other. And in between, naturally, there would be the incredibly heroic battle, of course, between Link and Vaati, link and Ganondorf.
I feel I can pull it off. I don't have a degree in writing, but I took over 66 college credit hours of English writing and composition courses, as well as creative writing.
The reason I am posting this is to discuss the prospect of a legend of zelda movie. It is too important to me to entrust to fate. Or to leave to some ill fated director to turn into another Transformers or X-men Origins(I loved Origins. The fanboy in me was...
)
I am laughing. I am filled with joy. I want to tackle this task. I feel happy. I thought it would be fun to open the floodgates to discussion for any LoZ fans.
The game that I am thinking of turning into a movie is A link to a Past. Simply because it can be made in two parts: The lightworld and darkworld.
I would love to turn Ocarina of time into a movie. But that game is just too complicated, too... too... complicated... *laughs*'
