They are making a Legend of Zelda movie. Not sure of what format/style

After six years, I finally realized that Skull Kid's stumbling and screaming when he puts on the mask is directly inspired by Link's animations when he puts on the transformation masks. And Skull Kid looking up at the camera for one final scream means the transformation is complete, just like with Link's masks. Amazing. Beautiful. Absolutely astounding the amount of details the animation team here added. It's 2023 and I'm still noticing new things

Saddly once a major studio gets involved it becomes %100 profit driven, the movie would consist of endless waves of exposition attempting to explain zelda lore to people who've never played any of the games, it would try to be both serious and funny, it would try to aim for children and adults, it would shove in political messages and diversity casting, and would inevitably become a cluttered unfocused mess of concepts attempting to appeal to the widest audience possible and end up appealing to none... This video right here is a masterpiece of love and effort, as someone who does a lot of 3d design, simple things like the water running off skull kids hat, to the animating skill where the happy mask salesman has this perfect expression of unsettling malice, it truly shows the soul and passion put into this, something that a major studio doing a full length movie would just never be able to accomplish. Lizard people of the movie studios have never exactly been known to have souls.

Yeah, this was the first game I bought for my brother's N64 back in January '01. I got OoT after it, so I didn't learn about the stalchild origin until I beat this one. I replayed MM when I was about 10, and picked up on a ton of stuff I didn't when I was 8. It was the first video game to make me cry from the emotion of it. MM has some really touching moments for a Nintendo game. Relevant to learning the origin of stalchildren, one example is the giant in the ocean temple. The giants have only seconds to convey a couple critical words to help you on your perilous journey, and one of them chose to use that precious time to say "save our friend." Not free us. Not save Termina. He said "save our friend." Save Skull Kid. Despite the death and destruction Skull Kid had wrought upon the world under the mask's influence, and despite Skull Kid hating the giants for abandoning him, they still loved their little old friend. They knew he was possessed by Majora's Mask, and they implored you to spare his life and try to save him from the mask. Another hard-hitting one for me was the little girl in the music box house who was desperately trying to keep her father locked in a cupboard of full of talismans. He'd succumbed to the gibdos curse and was turning, all while their home was surrounded by undead creatures seeking to claim him. When you reactivate the magic song then break his curse, the girl runs to her father and embraces him. Dazed and confused, the father asks his child what had happened. The girl assures him it was just a bad dream, likely something he had said to comfort her in the nights they spent together in that little research station in those haunted lands. Then you realize, this child, no older than 9, was forced to keep herself and her dying father alive for God knows how long, surrounded by monsters banging at her door, in a wasteland where no one was coming to save her, with access to countless tomes of arcane research that could probably save his life, but each far beyond her level of understanding. All she knew was the talismans. It was like a child trying to apply band-aids as she watched her only living parent bleed out from a deadly wound.

@GayNation I've never read any fanfiction. The game's pretty vague, so there's no gospel text to pull from. It's nothing more than my interpretation, but a very reasonable one I think. I mostly just put together things we know for a fact. The largest leap I took was with the charm tags in the closet, making the assumption that she put them there herself and knows enough of her father's work to do so. To be fair, all this could only apply if they intended all the elements of the game to tell a coherent story, which I believe they did. Like if we assume Aonuma just said "oh the dad is in the closet because we needed a place to put him so you could get a mask" instead of thinking "Hm, what would the daughter do if her dad were cursed? Ah, let's put him in the closet, and we'll let the the players know that's what happened because if they approach him, she'll imply she's trying to keep him in there."

With the announcement of the upcoming movie, I can't help but return to this masterpiece. I absolutely love how well the happy mask salesman is translated into a semi-realistic style that fits naturally into a live action setting whilst still keeping the charm of his design from the games. I feel like a lot of that charm will be lost with a live-action cast, as it seems the movie is going to have. If I'm being honest here, using live-action to portray characters from the legend of zelda feels weird. I just don't think it'll translate as well, and I would much rather the movie took an approach similar to this short. All well, I can't have everything I want, and despite my gripes with the decision to make the movie fully live action, I hope my fears ate proven wrong and I hope the movie will be as amazing as this short. Although they're gonna have a hard time getting there, nothing is technically perfect, but this short is about as close as you can get.

Imagine a Zelda movie trilogy, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, made by this team... Speechless. Thanks for the feelings this masterpiece brought and for the amazing job. Wishing you health, peace, and success.

And that it doesn't make sense to him that most the stuff out there isn't better quality.

I like the subtlety in this version of the story. The Mask is a lot like The One Ring, it wants to be found and to be used, it wants to control someone. It tries to control the Happy Mask Salesman and you can see he's tempted but he resits, and so it knocks him out at exactly the right time to be found by Skull Kid.

@Tylendal242

Жыл бұрын

Adding to the subtlety, it would be easy to have the mask look dynamic, powerful. However, other than the eyes flaring exactly once, the mask is completely inert. The way it's framed still makes it look incredibly dynamic and sinister, despite not actually doing anything.
