Film director, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, is set to direct a movie based on the Metal Gear Solid franchise that’s been in production since 2014. He’s not only a big fan of Hideo Kojima’s series but an avid video game player as well, even being a fan of The Legend of Zelda.

During San Diego Comic-Con 2018, IGN managed to talk to Vogt-Roberts about how if he was given the chance to make a Legend of Zelda movie, how would he go about it? With the recent release of Breath of the Wild and the major changes that the game brought into the long-running franchise, specifically the futuristic stuff, would have to be implemented into a Zelda movie, says Roberts. He would want to mix old Zelda with the new Zelda, and also would want Link to remain completely silent, as he should be:

“I think you have to find a way to very intensely fuse the pure just sort of fantasy of The Ocarina of Time and The Link to the Past, but then I think you need to find a way to incorporate the newer pseudo-tech stuff — you know, the lasers and Tron lines that happen in the newer games, but in a way that’s not overwhelming.” He continues, “I actually fully think Link should not speak the entire film. I would do a film where he’s a silent protagonist.”

We have never seen a fully voiced Link in a mainline Zelda game unless you happen to count those terrible CD-i games… which we don’t. Seeing a live-action Zelda movie with Link starring as this silent hero would be pretty rad to see, especially in this day and age, where it would be sort of strange for that to happen for a big blockbuster film.
