Collider argues that Nintendo’s live-action The Legend of Zelda film should draw its overall fantasy framework from Ocarina of Time while giving Ganondorf the greater depth associated with The Wind Waker. The film is confirmed to tell an original story, so the article says it should borrow themes and character elements rather than attempt a direct adaptation.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason will play Link and Zelda, with Uli Latukefu cast as Ganondorf; Yvonne Strahovski and Sam Neill have undisclosed roles. Ocarina of Time offers familiar elements including Hyrule, the Triforce, Master Sword and a conflict in which Link and Zelda’s actions enable Ganondorf’s rise, while The Wind Waker is presented as a stronger source for a more nuanced villain.
