Zelda animated film trilogy idea

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and what I would like to see in an animated Zelda film trilogy. Thought I would just write down this idea and see if you guys think it would work.

Just wanted to note this is not intended to be an adaption of any existing game, I did want to borrow elements from certain games however.

Name: The Legend of Zelda

Animation studio: Fortiche (same studio that made arcane)

Story: After a destructive civil war between the kingdom of Hyrule and the Gerudo tribe, the king of Hyrule enlist the Sheikah tribe to develop powerful technology which would lift the kingdom of Hyrule into the sky, preventing the gerudo from more attacks.

Zelda is a prodigy inventor who wishes to return to the surface to try and build relations with the various tribes that were left behind. Link, her protector, is close with her. They are possibly even romantically interested with each other.

One night, Link and Zelda are approached by an elderly hooded figure, who it turns out is Link from an ancient past. This old Link is joined by a fairy (who can take the form of an elf) who speaks on Old Links behalf. She explains that whilst the Kingdom of Hyrule has retreated to the sky, the surface below has begun to fall in on itself and that there are apparent tears being ripped open, tears which leads to different timelines.

Old Link and his fairy companion explain that there are three different timelines, with the one constant of these timelines being that a Zelda and Link exist in each one.

To stop Hyrule and Time itself from collapsing in on itself, they must unite the Triforce (where each piece has spread across these three timelines) and use its power to close of the rifts for good.

Zelda and Link accept Old Links request, joining him on an adventure to save Hyrule. As they travel to the different timelines, they will meet various links and Zelda’s on the way who will help them with their quest.

Closely tracking them is Dark Link, a tragic Link from a timeline where his Zelda was killed. Dark Link wishes to use the triforce to bring his Zelda back.

Whilst all of this is happening, a dark entity called Majora is seeing this destruction as an opportunity, and wishes to take the Triforce for his own evil purpose.

Conclusion:

That’s pretty much an overview of my story. Sorry if it went on a bit. I’m viewing it as an epic adventure. I also would like to see my Link talk in this one and for there to be more romance between him and Zelda.

The main thing is though, is that I want Majoras Mask to take a more central stage as the villain of this film series, as I think he can be an incredibly compelling villain. Would love to imagine what he would do with the Triforce as well.

I think Fortiche studios, the animators who made Arcane would be perfect for this time Epic/adventure/romantic/ action packed film.

Let me know what you guys think.
