Wes Ball is known for making amazing movie worlds, like in The Maze Runner films. Now he wants to bring the iconic video game The Legend of Zelda to the big screen. Ball says making a Legend of Zelda movie has been his dream for a long time.
The Legend of Zelda series began in 1986 and is still popular today. Players control the hero Link as he saves Princess Zelda and protects the land of Hyrule from the evil Ganon. Over the years, the franchise expanded into anime, books, and comics. Ball wants fans both old and new to love experiencing Hyrule in a movie.
“I will do everything I can to make sure the movie lives up to what people want,” Ball explained. As someone who has played the games for years, he understands how important the movie gets it right. Ball’s goal is to craft an epic story and recreate the magical world of Hyrule so audiences feel like they are really there.
One big challenge will be casting the role of Link. Ball is talented at finding just the right actor for each part. He believes in choosing someone who truly captures the spirit of the character. Ball is confident he can find an actor with the skills to bring Link to life on screen.
While the film is still early in development, fans are excited to see Ball’s vision. He has a proven track record of making believable worlds in movies like The Maze Runner. If anyone can do justice to The Legend of Zelda, it’s Wes Ball.
He is committed to honoring what makes the games so special, from the characters to the setting of Hyrule. Ball will stop at nothing to deliver the epic cinematic experience fans want. The quest to adapt this legendary franchise for the big screen has begun.
