Does anyone else wonder if the next game and this movie might have similarities in art direction? It's odd to me that Nintendo would decide to do live action after the success of the colorful Botw and TotK art direction.

I know it's just likely copium for a spiritual successor to Twilight Princess.

I’m hoping the details of the movie are divorced from any one game, and instead just uses the broad strokes of Zelda story conventions. I would much rather they stand on their own so they can utilize the respective mediums to their fullest.

I’m not against Twilight Princess being a big influence though…

They could always say the Zelda film exists in a separate timeline that exists because of time travel shenanigans, i.e. the MCU approach

I’m pretty sure this is the only way to make a good video game movie.

I agree. It’s not a formula for guaranteed success though. See Super Mario Bros. for one example
