A Zelda movie is finally happening, but Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto used to adamantly oppose the idea even "if Steven Spielberg himself" wanted to do it (www.gamesradar.com)

Wasn't the Mario movie pretty well-received among fans, though? The Resident Evil films were also very successful, despite not being popular with the game's original audience.

I think it was well received with children? Most adults I know who saw it basically shrugged, said it was fine, and then eagerly awaited Super Mario Bros Wonder instead.

Fine is high praise for videogame adaptations.

Sure, but "fine" is not really what I want for a Zelda movie, personally. And judging by the apprehension of a lot of the Zelda fanbase, they seem to have similar sentiments.

Also I'm not really sure why my other comment is getting downvoted, it was just what I observed in my circle of family/friends/coworkers. Apologies to any long time Mario fans I offended.

After decades of stuff like Bob Hoskins Mario Bros, a million Resident Evil movies, and whatever Uwe Boll was making, it's honestly the best we can hope for.
