Is there a cast announced? Do we have a director? It is crazy to announce a release date without knowing these things.
I think that's just the norm for franchise releases nowadays; I'd give good odds that the writer and director change at least a few times before it comes anywhere close to a theatrical release anyhow.
It's not going to be good.
They're going to make Link speak.
There's a part of me that would love to see this as a running joke. Like, everytime our silent protagonist opens his mouth to speak he gets cut off by a moblin, or some panicky villager declaring "The Hero will scale the volcano and slay the Dodongo!" and just keep beating him to the punch.
For what it's worth, I'm not kidding about the Tom Holland prediction. I'm half expecting it.
Honestly, he could probably do just fine. I think Mike Faist (Challengers and West Side Story) would be a pretty good choice, personally.
Edit: Oh, actually, Mackenyu would be pretty great!
