I actually had hopes that this could actually work
then I found out that Justin Marks is writing the script
aka the guy who wrote the most recent Street Fighter movie
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
for everyone who gets all pissy because the original series differed from the manga: the story actually differed at arakawa's request, and while she didn't do any actual writing, the alternate story did have her direct input
uh not really
using the sword to reflect light and find colossus /= using the sword to reflect light and then spend forty minutes looking for it
walking around looking for lizards to shoot /= narrative
time attack mode /= narrative
protip: gameplay /= narrative
if somebody made a legend of zelda movie they probably could remove the three hours of figuring out how to beat the fucking water temple and I'm positive that the story would still be exactly the same as the games
edit:
protip: gameplay /= narrative
yeah it's not like they spoke in a fictional language created specifically for the game
and also appeared to be racially androgynous
