It was recently announced that Sony Pictures was developing a live-action adaptation of Nintendo’s classic fantasy video game franchise The Legend of Zelda. It was also announced that it would be directed by Wes Ball (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes). Now we have learned that the film’s script will be written by the screenwriter of Jurassic World Derek Connolly.
Connolly is a frequent collaborator of the director Colin Trevorrow and helped write most of his films, including his scrapped version of Star Wars: Episode IX. Connolly also wrote the screenplay for another Nintendo film Detective Pikachu.
The creative team behind The Legend of Zelda it seems like they have the talent and skill to make a great film. The big question is… will the studio allow them to make the film as epic as it could be? Seriously, The Legend of Zelda should be on the same scale as The Lord of the Rings. This is just what I pictured in my head.
The Legend of Zelda follows the adventures of a young hero named Link, who is often tasked with saving Princess Zelda and fighting the evil villain Ganon. The series is praised for its compelling open-world exploration, intricate puzzles, and gripping narrative. The franchise offers a timeless blend of adventure and exploration. I really hope the creative team and studio stick to this goal!
