It turns out, the star is actually a big fan of the Big N. In an interview with <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/gaming\/news\/gaten-matarazzo-legend-of-zelda-theater-nintendo-1235467747\/\">Variety<\/a>, Matarazzo spoke of his love of Nintendo and its properties \u2014 including one series that he thinks would make a fantastic animated film.<\/p>\n<p>While the actor spends time looking ahead to this year&#8217;s festive period and reflecting on his busy year, Matarazzo muses on the idea of an animated <strong>Legend of Zelda<\/strong> movie. He tells Variety that he&#8217;s a big fan of the series and that he wants to see a &#8220;very visually and musically driven animated film&#8221;. He continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It might be challenging when most of the characters never speak, but to explore a vocally silent world where a story can be told visually and through score would be really cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Does Matarazzo have that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/10\/rumour_netflixs_castlevania_executive_producer_is_apparently_working_on_a_legend_of_zelda_series\">once-rumoured Netflix Zelda show<\/a> in the back of his mind? Perhaps! But we love the idea of a very different style of movie for a Zelda adventure. the series has incredible music, and the characters are pretty iconic without a lot of dialogue. The real question is, would Matarazzo want to play the Hero of Time himself? How good are his &#8220;hyaaaah!&#8221;s?<\/p>\n<p>We can all dream \u2014 if Mario is getting a big-budget animated movie in 2023, why can&#8217;t Link get a starring role? And Mario doesn&#8217;t have many lines of dialogue in his games either, so we think Nintendo would make some caveats to allow Link to speak. We just hope it&#8217;s nothing like those Philips CD-i games.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what Matarazzo wants, but in terms of Christmas, the actor is gifting his friends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_scarlet_and_violet\">Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a>, and he&#8217;s even got a copy of the game ready for himself. Sounds like an ideal Christmas game to us!<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think of Gaten&#8217;s dreams of an animated Zelda movie? What would you want to see from a potential one?
