*Too complicated and convoluted — for Hollywood. Especially from the folks that made the Minion/Dr.Seuss movies.
What are you talking about, one of the most acclaimed movies of the last year involved multiverse and had rules and explained itself without any complication or convolutions while also telling a story that resonated with people. Hollywood is no stranger to complicated movies, and your opinion on the Minions aside those movies are still well received. But even so, nothing in a Zelda game is complicated or convoluted and the structure of them is basically fodder for an easily told story anyway, you'd just cut it down from like 12 dungeons to like four which they did with BOTW anyway.
The idea that each game could be just as easily adapted as the other, is something I can't agree with. Especially because the quality of the Legend Of Zelda games tend to go beyond the bare bones that Hollywood would imitate.
I know you have some weird bone to pick with Hollywood but any given Zelda game could easily become a movie. And they wouldn't even have to copy the story of any of the games because all they would need to do to have an accurate to the source material is an elfy dude in green named Link, a princess named Zelda who may or may not get captured, and a bad dude named Ganondorf who may or may not turn into a pig monster at the end of the movie named Ganon. Link has to use a sword and arrows. Mention the triforce. Zelda uses light arrows at the end. Throw in a mid section of gathering shit to make the triforce of courage or break the seal on the castle and bam, you've got a two hour movie. Probably even an hour forty five if you're good about it.
Just because you think Hollywood is some monolithic thing producing mid or bad content doesn't make it so and that just says you're not seeking out movies other than blockbusterinos.
But maybe Link's Awakening could have an Oldboy-style "reinterpretation", since Hollywood's so used to producing the "and it was all a dream" cliché. Though I'm trying to imagine how fucking awful a Majora’s Mask movie would be.
Hollywood doesn't even do "it was all a dream" stuff anymore that shit went out of style years ago. Also a Majora's Mask movie would be easy to do, time travel is not a new concept in movies nor are time loops. You should really give movies more credit because nothing suggests a Zelda movie couldn't work other than you automatically assuming the worst because one of the top animation studios who Nintendo has already put their faith in and is guaranteed to make bank and likely produce a solid 3/5 movie about a plumber with no real personality outside of loving to stomp on turtles is maybe considering making a movie based on a video game series that a 1985 movie already basically has a version of anyway starring Tom Cruise and directed by Ridley Scott
