Actor Gaten Matarazzo, who is best known for his role as Dustin Henderson on Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things, has teamed up with Nintendo for the holiday season to talk about the company’s latest games. As it turns out, the star is actually a big fan of Big N. In an interview with DiversityMatarazzo talked about his love of Nintendo and its ethos — including a series that he thought would make for a great animated movie.
While the actor took time to look forward to this year’s festive period and reflect on his busy year, Matarazzo pondered the idea of making an animated film. Legend of Zelda movie. He told Variety that he’s a huge fan of the series and that he wanted to see an “animated movie with great visuals and music.” He continued:
“It can be a challenge when most of the characters never speak, but to explore a world of verbal silence where a story can be told visually and through the score will really exciting.”
Does Matarazzo have that? Netflix show Zelda was rumored in his mind? Probably! But we like the idea of a very different movie style for Zelda’s adventures. the series has great music and pretty iconic characters without a lot of dialogue. The real question is, would Matarazzo want to play the Hero of Time himself? The sound of “hyaaaah!” How good is his?
We can all dream — if Mario has a big budget animated movie in 2023, why can’t Link get a lead role? And Mario doesn’t have a lot of dialogue in his games either, so we thought Nintendo would make some notes to allow Link to speak. We just hope it’s not like those Philips CD-i games.
That’s what Matarazzo wanted, but for Christmas, the actor is giving gifts to his friends Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and he even prepared a copy of the game for himself. Sounds like an ideal Christmas game to us!
