Two big problems with a live-action Zelda movie are it'll need a bigger budget, which'll increase the risk of it not breaking even at the box office, and even more care will have be taken with picking cast members, because they'll have to sound AND look right for their roles.

Honestly, for a Zelda movie to not break even, it'd need to be a monumental mess.

And Nintendo's doing their best to avoid restarted the curse of 1993.

Live-action Zelda would require LotR or GoT level of production value with epic sets, locales, realistic costumes and make-up/prosthetics, a deep and well developed script and the best symphony orchestra out there. Which means a huge budget, and years of development with the best people both cast and crew. If any of these things fail it will be, like I said, super cheesy. Which would definitely suck; Pick a random Netflix fantasy movie or series, we wouldn’t want any of that. I’d rather trust them with an animated Zelda.

Same, that's more low risk. I know we want a Zelda movie to be way more serious than the Mario movie, but for some reason I want them to re-enact the Link To The Past rap from that Super Famicom commercial.
