The Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto has admitted Nintendo faces “an extremely high hurdle” not to disappoint fans across the world with the forthcoming film.
Following the company’s latest earnings report, Miyamoto and CEO Shuntaro Furukawa were asked about the risks of expanding IPs beyond video games, to which Miyamoto responded directly on the Zelda live-action film that was announced during the report.
“Regarding the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, I know we face an extremely high hurdle in producing a film that will not disappoint the global fan base,” he said. “With this challenge in mind, I have been discussing this project with Avi Arad, Chairman of Arad Productions Inc., for about 10 years.”
