I'll pass. Not sure I'd like a Zelda movie anyway. I loved most of the games I've played, but never because of the story. It's fine for a video game, "help I'm kidnapped by evil thing save me!"
The legend of Zelda really doesn't work as a movie, even less so than mario. Mario at least makes a good cartoon, but the legend of Zelda is primarily about dungeons and one man badass stuff. dialogue is secondary, overarching plot is secondary. any movie that calls itself Zelda without having these elements would not feel right.
A Metroid movie in the style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal (a show with next to no dialogue) would actually be really cool. The problem is they would absolutely never do something like that because the average viewer's brain is addled with ADD and needs dialogue to remain interested in watching something.
It would also fail because they would need to remind you that Samus is a girl every 2 minutes, meaning the entire movie would be built around contrived reasons for her to remove her suit over and over or pull the Other M route of "need to talk about my feelings, my baby, and my unresolved daddy issues towards my commander."
other m might as well have been an attempt, given how cinematic they tried to make it. other m was also awful and nothing like Metroid other than having the main character named Samus.

We all know they'll grrlboss the shit out of Zelda, well beyond her established badassery in the lore. The Mario movie shows this
Quite frankly, thats a retarded take on the Mario movie. The hero of the Mario movie is FIRMLY Mario. And ultimately actually Luigi as it should be.
One of the few games to perfectly capture Zelda kicking ass while still being feminine was, oddly enough, Hyrule Warriors.

imagine trying to make a Metroid movie.

Genndy may be the last creator to understand the power of silence.
Also a major reason I loved Evangelion.

Does Other M count?
