Yes! This is great. If this movie ends up great it'll make Nintendo into a cinema powerhouse in the way an animated movie just couldn't do. A Zelda movie had to be live action, animated would have been very disappointing for Zelda. So this is great news, and especially great they are already working on it. I thought maybe they'd do a DK animated movie as a spinoff from the Mario movie first, and we wouldn't see Zelda live action until like end of the decade, but hopefully this means we'll get this in like 2026/27.
Mario movie's incredible success opened the gates for Nintendo, but a badass high fantasy live action Zelda movie (think: LotR) would cement Nintendo's place as a media powerhouse beyond just games. Just gotta hope they don't go in a kiddy cheesy direction or do something stupid like don't have Link talk because he doesn't talk in the games lol. Hopefully they take this seriously as a high fantasy movie targeted at teens/20s/30s year olds but that kids will enjoy too. If this turns out great I'd love to see a Zelda trilogy over the next decade.
Hell, with how integral Princess Zelda has become in the franchise over the years as an actual character and not just a princess to be saved, if this goes well I could see a Zelda spin-off tv show or at least single season limited series with the Zelda actress, like how Marvel and Star Wars have spun off into various shows.
