A delayed Zelda movie just means more time for us to theorize about that wild post-credits scene—you know Nintendo’s gonna drop something juicy. At least now we’ve got an excuse to replay the whole series while we wait

Honestly, I'd rather wait for a polished Zelda movie than get a rushed one—Nintendo's track record with adaptations is spotty enough as is. Plus, more time means more chances for them to sneak in some killer Easter eggs for the fans.
