Studio Ghibli Meets The Legend Of Zelda in Stunning Breath of the Wild Poster



The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's longest running, and most popular, game franchises, with the recent title of Breath of the Wild giving us a fresh new take on characters such as Link, Zelda, and Gannon, as one fan has decided to show what this game might look like as a product of Studio Ghibli. Ghibli, which is often considered to be one of the most legendary animation studios, having created anime feature length films such as Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and many others that have propelled the studio's brand across the world.

Studio Ghibli is set to release a new movie later this year in Earwig and the Witch, taking the opportunity to venture into the world of computer graphics for this upcoming anime. Following this entry, Ghibli is looking to adapt the popular story known as "How Do You Live", meaning that there is still plenty of work for the legendary animation house to do. Hayao Miyazaki came out of retirement in order to work in the world of animation once again, and it's clear that Ghibli still is living up to its reputation that it has established over the decades!

Twitter User BigSkyCastle shared this impressive art work that imagines what the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might look like if it were under the pen of legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki, as the franchise seems almost custom made to be an entry in the house of Studio Ghibli:



The Legend of Zelda has given us a number of different story lines that have explored different versions of the land of Hyrule, with Breath of the Wild being one of the most talked about thanks to its new mechanics and unique cell shaded art style. With a sequel already in the works, we can't wait to revisit the in-depth world that had us spending countless hours as Link exploring the terrain.

While there have been rumors in the past about a possible Legend of Zelda television series, we're still waiting to see this legendary Nintendo franchise given an animated adaptation at some point in the future.

Would you love to see Studio Ghibli try their hands at animating the world of Hyrule? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Studio Ghibli!

Black Adam Can Be The DCEU’s Wolverine

The upcoming Black Adam movie could position its title character as DC's equivalent to Wolverine. Though Black Adam has taken quite a long time to get rolling, the first day of DC FanDome gave a peak at what audiences can expect, from name-dropping several Justice Society of America members who make appearances to Dwayne Johnson stressing the harsh origins of the title character. Johnson's description of Black Adam himself also may offer a sense of just what role he'll occupy in the world of the DCEU. Johnson would place particular emphasis on Black Adam having been a slave who achieves his freedom after being granted power from the gods and who now seeks to unleash his own brand of justice on the world. Aside from the moral ambiguity of Black Adam, Johnson has also repeatedly spoken of him as a game-changing figure in the DCEU with the power level that he operates at. Meanwhile, with the way Black Adam is being presented as a character, he could carry some notable parallel...

Epic Games asks court to stop Apple's 'retaliation' after App Store ban

Epic Games said late on Friday that it has asked a court to stop what it saw as Apple Inc's retaliation against the "Fortnite" creator after the iPhone maker terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store. Epic Games filed for a preliminary injunction that would put its game back in the App Store and restore its developer account. The filing was made in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It argued that Epic Games is "likely to suffer irreparable harm" in the absence of a preliminary injunction and that "the balance of harms tips sharply in Epic's favor". The filing described the iPhone maker as a "monopolist" that maintains its monopolies by "explicitly prohibiting any competitive entry". Late last week, Apple terminated Epic Games' account on its App Store amid a legal battle over the iPhone maker's in-app payment guidelines and accusations they constitute a monopoly. Apple sa...
