We literally don't need a MGS movie because
This movie exists.
As for Zelda I'm fine with

I unironically want a stop motion or puppet play OVA of Zelda
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Ball said he wants to channel legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki's works into the film as much as possible and hopes he can make that happen.
"[Legend of Zelda is ] this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn't like Lord of the Rings, it's its own thing," he explained. "I've always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that."
I've somewhat liked the Dark Crystal buut I am not sure of Age of Resistance.![]()

Human actors with practical effects like Legend and Labyrinth would have been ideal.
Human actors in front of blue screens with CGI is probably all the budget allows for.
AoR was a pretty good series. The only real flaws were Aquafina's character (completely unnecessary and annoyingly Scrappy-like) and the fact that it wasn't renewed for another season.I've somewhat liked the Dark Crystal buut I am not sure of Age of Resistance.
Budget down, soap drama and quipping up. Doesn't sound like a good idea unless it's anime.i think zelda would work better as a tv show than a movie.
i would hope for an anime version or at the minimum, cgi. i would hate to see a live action version.Budget down, soap drama and quipping up. Doesn't sound like a good idea unless it's anime.
i don't remember being either disappointed or impressed by zelda's voice. she seemed alright. might have left a better impression or impact if there were some actual scenes with her in it. there were barely a dozen actual cutscenes. and so much time can pass between each one that you would forget what she sounded like.I remember reactions to Zelda's voice actor in Breath of the Wild.
Imagine how difficult it will be to select a cast of actors to voice characters that a majority of fans remember as being text only.
Okay, so life after Pokémon. Although we still had a lot of stuff going on with Pokémon because of the game, and we are considered one of the tentpoles, there was a group that did something called Pokémon Forever, and that we were involved in that initiative ongoing. But we had other things going on too, and as the brand group, we kind of took over both merchandise and entertainment of all the Nintendo brands. So the Kirby TV show that we localized and had on with 4kids, they had purchased their own TV network at the time, and we were doing toys, t-shirts. Nintendogs was a great brand for doing some licensing and extensions. So always wanting to do– and people were always calling about doing a movie. You can imagine that the most common question is, you know, We’re calling, we’d like to do a Zelda movie. So the answer was always no. And so, you know, even I personally said, Mr. Miyamoto, like, if Steven Spielberg himself wants to do a Zelda movie, what is the answer? He said, No. So that was it. The answer was always no. But the Metroid team, which is Mr. Sakamoto, is the person who created Metroid. He also made Kid Icarus, and he’s the Wario creator and games like WarioWare, really fun guy, and he was open to pitches on Metroid. And his counterpart for Metroid Prime is Mr. Tanabe. So together, John Woo’s company, Chinese director, had wanted to pitch to do a Metroid movie, and we had several meetings. It took a long time. We would talk about, sometimes about who should play, Samus should be Charlize Theron. Should it be? No, she’s not right. Anyway, it was on and on about who the actresses that they could see as Samus, but which we never settled on anything. I think they thought she’s not such a beauty, as opposed to kind of a athlete. So we had several story angles that were we pitched or presented, and finally landed on something and did a pitch kit and took it out. And the level of budget that would be needed to make the movie was significant. And at the time, the only female action movie that had come out was Halle Berry’s Catwoman, and it didn’t do well. And so the company, John Woo’s company, they pitched for Metroid, but we did not make a sale. So that is the truth of why that particular project didn’t happen.
