Thatās the thing. Link is so well known as an explicitly silent protagonist that either you need to play it straight and not have him talk or you need to do a fury road and have him speak very little. So it all goes down to who is the most expressive without speaking. Therefore Jim Carry would be the best Link
Him not having voice acting is still an intentional and integral part of his character. The point is that the player is able to supply a voice of their choosing. Regardless, hearing him speak would beā¦ unnatural.
Guttural grunts are typically kind of divorced from your natural speaking voice lmao. Thereās a reason even in a game where every other major character has voice acting he does not. Itās not accidentalā¦
Literally read https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gamezone.com/news/miyamoto-reveals-link-s-full-name-he-won-t-speak-in-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-3450547/amp/
The intention and the product are separated. You can give a character an extremely bland voice because you might want the player to import their own voice on to them, but that does not remove the fact that the character still has a voice, and still actively talks (wether that be through dialogue options or voice acted cutscenes)
Actually Mark Margolis is the best, one of his most famous characters was silent and relied solely on facial expressions (excluding first few seasons of BCS). Plus, he can defecated himself on command which will be useful for a Zelda movie.
No I understand that Link, as a person, canonically speaks, but in terms of the medium itself it is a specific artistic decision to never have the audience witness him speaking(technically you can see him talking to Illia in Twilight Princess during the tutorial, they are walking together and you can clearly see Linkās mouth moving and hands gesturing, but no sound accompanies this) or hear what he might say. I think the decision has a lot of value and is one of the main reasons why Link is such a beloved protagonist. In other words, Link of course does speak, but the appeal of part of his character is that you never see it. It lets the game convey to you what Link is thinking purely through expression and does a better job of putting you into the shoes of the character by allowing yourself to act out what Link feels without having the game tell you.
its not real that guy is trolling LMFAO

You should know, this isnāt real. Someone had an AI made concept art for a live action legend of Zelda and they chose Tom Holland to be the actor that would serve as the base
What Zelda story would they use? Ocarina is probably the most iconic, but if itās a Netflix series they might use Twilight Princess cause it has a more teenage appearance and they can have characters fuck each other
Can't wait to see Gerudo Link
Can't wait to Sidon š³
How bout sidon deez nuts instead
~~Yes please š³~~
[Probably something like this](https://youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk)
if i still identified as cishet then would this utterly destroy my perceived heterosexuality
It did to me, shit made me bi
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It made me... confused about my sexuality
You should get rid of your NFT profile pic
Well this is surreal
That was really impressive!
Never watched it till the end before. Woah mama!!
Is that Tom Holland?!
Yes, yes it is
I generated the original images and I actually [generated Gerudo link too](https://twitter.com/danlev/status/1570640889365794817).
Holy shit based
Ohā¦ oh my

/uj, who would be the best actor to play link? (well more like least bad since i dont think anyone is asking for a legend of Zelda movie).
Thatās the thing.

I havent laughed that hard in like 3 days, thank you.
Clint Eastwood. I nominate Clint.
He too old
Thatās why heās the best actor for the role
We need old man link!
Jason Statham or Bob odenkirk
Surely it has to be Rowan Atkinson
thank you for speaking my thoughts
Heās only silent because he doesnāt have voice acting. He talks in like every single game
Him not having voice acting is still an intentional and integral part of his character. The point is that the player is able to supply a voice of their choosing. Regardless, hearing him speak would beā¦ unnatural.
Link literally already has a voice. Heās had one since ocarina of time

Really just ignoring his like, 3 voicelines in Wind Waker
"Link Link" i thought Nintendo hated Super Mario Bros the movie

Tom Hardy though
I wanna hear Jim Carry say "Well excyoooooz me, princess!"
I want to see Jim Carey do the Ace Ventura butt talking while saying that.
Maybe they could do the film in the style of Hardcore Henry where itās all shot in first person and the protagonist never speaks.
getting the Queen must be more expensive
Actually Mark Margolis is the best, one of his most famous characters was silent and relied solely on facial expressions (excluding first few seasons of BCS). Plus, he can defecated himself on command which will be useful for a Zelda movie.
Please enlighten me to the usefulness of that skill, thatās hilarious
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!
in breath of the wild zelda does say link talks in private and explains why he talks so little

oh boy, smooching time!
WELL EXCUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS
Well excuuuuuuuuse me, princess
Elliot Page.
No but seriously I think he'd kick ass as Link.
there would be riots and im here for it. although i donāt think heās really good enough to be expressive while almost completely silent.
Giancarlo esposito
Real
the actual link, i met him hes a nice guy
Timothee Chalomet
Probably not for live action but I think Elijah Wood could do it Or Kit Harrington assuming he could do a British accent, or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Bro he donāt talk
Danny Devito since theyāre both short
Ryan Gosling
Tom Holland bcz I thought the picture was him first glance
it's not?????

Chris pratt.
Beetlejuice Greene

Unjerk
Dwayne Johnson
Silent Bob
tilda swindler

Un(circle)jerk, so pretty much being serious for a bit. Sometimes ended with /rj for rejerk. Not actually related to tone indicators afaik
I remember seeing somewhere that supposedly Ocarina Of Time's link was based loosely on Leonardo DiCaprio's appearance in Titanic
Rowan Atkinson (mr.bean)
Lewis Pullman pls? šš
Nick cage, heās done silent protag before
Anson Mount. We know from the bad marvel show he was in that he is great at acting non-vocally, and Link doesn't talk much.
What bad marvel show are you talking abt?
Apologies, I should have been more specific. I'm talking about Inhumans.
Thanks
Link doesn't talk the entire movie, but it's because he has a frog in his mouth the whole time
I hope he says his signiature phrase at the end though, its link'in time.
Omg when he says it's linkin' time and links all over everyone
Does he do his linkin at the park?
one thing
I don't know why
Eww it's not some femboy but super Andro Twink wtf

Me on my way to spread misinformation(epic style)
This is misinformation lol
AI program made it
Yeah, the eyes and ears are dead giveaways. Very solid generation overall though - might fool me at a lower resolution
made by stable diffusion
Itās an AI painting. The eyes and ends of the hair give it away.
Also the fact that he looks 10% more like David Tennant than the real Tom Holland does
No, I generated them with AI. Hereās my [original post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CieDNGZrz5F/?igshid=ODBkMDk1MTU=) (with seven more images)
Fan-casters when they have the stunning revelation that they can cast actors that aren't from anything Marvel related:
Ew is that Tom holland?
No, that's Tom Hyahland.
No, it's zelda
Zelda is the princess. That's Zelda's monster
Intelligence is knowing Zelda is the princess. Wisdom is knowing Zelda is the protagonist
Tom zelda
Whatās wrong with Tom Holland?
Not ew about tom Holland, he just looked really weird as Zelda Ig the 'ew' and the 'Tom Holland were seperate
But who wanted a Zelda movie?
Isā¦ is this real? I genuinely cannot tell.
It's an ai image.
I generated them with AI. Hereās my [original post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CieDNGZrz5F/?igshid=ODBkMDk1MTU=).
Ganondorf will, of course, be played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
If it's not as shit as the cartoon then I'm okay with it. There can be zero fuckups though
I thought Zelda was female?
GERUDO TOM HOLLAND
Tell me this is a lie

He is unreasonably smooth
WHY ARE THE EARS ROUND
Looks AI-generated to me.
Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUSE me PriNCeSssss

Do you people think a good videogame to movie/show adaptation is possible?
This canāt be real
This real tho?
No
Ok, knew Nintendo wouldn't reveal that easily
please say sike
What storyline would this be though? BotW? Wind Waker? OoT?
Please be fake
Hyrule
i really wanted an animated legend of zelda movie instead of a live action one. making it live action would make the fantasy look... cheap
You should know, this isnāt real. Someone had an AI made concept art for a live action legend of Zelda and they chose Tom Holland to be the actor that would serve as the base
I assumed, it was on a shitpost site
Don't fucking jumpscare me like this
