Is Nintendo finally starting to loosen up? It took the company 30 years to make another big Mario movie after the 1993 live-action flick got two thumbs down from Siskel and Ebert, but hey, it went just fine: Jack Black did a song and lots of money was made. Now Nintendo is really letting loose: It announced today that it's making a live-action Zelda movie.
My first thought is: Man, that could really blow! It could be great and all, but casting human faces as Link and Zelda and having them gallop through Hyrule, a land known for sexy sharks and rock people, feels a lot riskier than a hey-do-you-remember-the-'90s CGI Mario comedy.
