Popular games from Nintendo may soon have their own film adaptations, as recent evidence suggests is the case. One of such games being talked about mostly is the "The Legend of Zelda."
In an interview with MTV International, "Zelda" creator Shigeru Miyamoto, together with game designer Takashi Tezuka, talked about the possibilities of turning the game into a full live-action movie, according to reports.
While the brains behind "Zelda" may not have picked a particular celebrity yet, they said that a "Zelda" movie would less likely have a Japanese actor playing as the main character, Link.
Miyamoto believes that a Japanese actor won't really play the part well. Tezuka, on the other hand, was also considering making a female actress take on the lead character.
Tezuka went on specifically that a "boyish female actress" would be "very fun and awesome." Miyamoto also agreed since he's inspired by the different Link versions portrayed by ladies during cosplay events.
If Link is to be played by a female actress, it may be easier to cast one than to choose from different male actors, according to a report from Forbes.
In the same Forbes report, the outlet provided an image gallery that showed which actresses of today could be perfect to play Link.
It included Emma Watson, Natalie Portman, and "Hunger Games'" Jennifer Lawrence.
Meanwhile, in the same MTV interview, Miyamoto also mentioned that movies could possibly be made from Nintendo properties.
The video game company may not have something in the "immediate works," but they are considering it and expressed they are "interested and open" to the idea.
After the gameplay trailer for "Zelda" Wii U was released, speculations also suggested that a female Link may appear in the game.
Furthermore, the game was rumored to be a next project for Netflix. However, both rumors have been dismissed by Nintendo, although the company didn't completely deny them.
