"Given this task, I have been discussing this project with Avi Arad for about 10 years, the chairman of the board of directors of Arad Productions Inc. Films, like games, require a lot of time to work on them until it suits what suits you. Therefore, films need sponsors that could provide them with comprehensive support to the very end. When creating our films, Nintendo itself acts as a sponsor. To create a film, we managed to collect a group of people who are ready to devote time to work on it until we get what we are sure of. For the film "Brothers Super Mario in Cinema" Chris Meledandry, founder and general director of Illumination, and I exercised creative control over all aspects of the film, and together we continued production until we were satisfied. As for a living film on "Legend about Zelda", then Avi Arad and I have enough time to prepare. We hope to release something good that will justify all expectations, so wait impatiently".

Currently, the details of the film are extremely scarce, since the project is at an early stage of production, but it is not surprising that speculations regarding the casting are already in full swing.
