Total Film managed to get a chance to talk with The Legend of Zelda director Wes Ball, who spoke briefly about the upcoming project. He seems delighted to have been given the chance to work on the franchise and says his mission is to “fulfil people’s greatest desires” and that he wants to give people who watch it a chance to “escape”. Here is what Mr. Ball had to say:
“I have a great idea. I’ve been thinking about how cool a Zelda movie would be for a fucking long time… I want to make people’s biggest wishes come true. I know this is important [Zelda] franchise, people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real film that can give people an escape.”
Ball even points to that escape from reality (“I want to live in that world,” he says) as the driving force behind The Legend of Zelda.
“That’s the thing I want to try to create – it has to feel like something real. Something serious and cool, but fun and wacky.”
