10 Lessons The Legend Of Zelda Movie Can Learn From Super Mario Bros.

Make The Humor Unique And Not Distracting

The Super Mario Bros. Movie had funny and unique takes on the classic characters. It humorously reimagines classic characters with family quirks and Bowser's 'Peaches' song, providing a fresh take. One of its greatest strengths is its humor and how it's implemented in even the most dire of situations. While Link and many of the other prominent characters in his franchise are more austere, the filmmakers can still inject the movie with a unique brand of humor to help give The Legend of Zelda a new identity.

Include The Right Weapons And Gadgets For Link

One of the most identifiable qualities of The Legend of Zelda is the number of weapons, gadgets, and items that Link uses throughout each game. While there are plenty of options to choose from, The Legend of Zelda should include items that will help make a statement about his big screen iteration.

Appeal To Longtime Fans With Dozens Of Deep-Cut Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are a great way to boost engagement with the movie. The Legend of Zelda Movie can replicate its Easter eggs similarly, as each game boasts a piece of dialogue or musical motif that strongly resonates with viewers well acquainted with the action adventure franchise. A unique angle The Legend of Zelda movie can take is weaving the Easter egg directly into the plot or character, so that they function as much more than just cool references.
