This tension arose with the recent production of Illumination, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Since many fans associate Mario with a silent character from childhood, it was disassociating for them to connect with the movie. Many fans claimed that the silence of Mario helped them to characterize themselves as Mario while playing the game.
Would the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Mark the End of Hyrule?
In the first television adaption of The Legend of Zelda in 1989, Jonathan Potts gave voice to Link, which faced many criticisms from fans. Netflix is proposing Tom Holland for the character of Link. Film critics find the choice to be appropriate as long as he is playing a mute protagonist. The Netflix animated film is likely to be based on the gameplay of the main story of the video game.
As the story of The Legend of Zelda spans thousands of years featuring many timelines, fans are eager to know about the timeline of the movie so that they can understand how the film fits within the canon of the video game.
Fan’s reactions
Film content creator and reliable news source Discussing Film tweeted about this collaboration between Illumination and Universal Studios on the project of ‘The Legend of Zelda.” Fans have given mixed reactions to the tweet. Some fans expect childhood nostalgia from the film and wish that Illumination doesn’t give voice to Link as they did to Mario last time.
Universal and Illumination are reportedly closing a deal to make a ‘LEGEND OF ZELDA’ movie.

They better not pull a “safe” like they did with Mario and just bombard us with nostalgia to tingle our brain receptors.
The stories in Zelda have so much potential, so much darkness…that emotion would be beautiful in movie format.

Some fans believe that only Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli can match up to their expectations of them in making a true adaption of The Legend of Zelda.

However, some of the fans also believe that Illumination might take a serious tone in making the movie as they focused on comedy while working on Mario.
As great as the Mario movie was, I don't think Zelda would work with Illumination's style. They tend to lean on comedy & Zelda is more serious in tone.

Link doesn't even communicate which will be a obvious issue they would have to consider if they are going to do such a film. Maybe less comedic and more on the action side.

Another fan tweeted- Exactly the next movie I wanted. This is gonna go WILD!!!!
