In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, it's one princess named Zelda in the lead role to empower other girls (the exception to the usual formula that usually puts most common boys named Link in the spotlight at he main protags). With the strong female lead done just right. So she's like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind in the spotlight as the main focus. Again, with the strong female lead done just right. So it'd be great to have the musical styles combined in a cinematic mix. With permission from the authors. This Zelda's themes could be like Nausicaa's themes at the heart of it. With Tri as the deuteragonist AND Link as the tritagonist. The music could be happy, sad, dramatic, curious, AND heroic with a grand finale.

Let Link have the opportunity for talkin'. He deserves ta be heard talkin' like the human individual he is. So we can relate to the hero Link while lettin' HIM talk as his own person. That way, it works. With more self-awareness. AND more autonomy.
(Edited by True Lion of Hylia)
What I meant was "Link can save Zelda's life when she needs help, but let the two work as more of a team with mutual support". Error in grammar. My bad.
'Cuz 6 hours with 7 minutes is too long for one movie. So havin' 2 hours with 13 minutes AND 29 seconds sounds ideal. With no cuts to the runtime 'cuz some stories are better off being left uncut (like Princess Mononoke).
The movie could be 2 hours AND 13 minutes. More deets to explore, like Link's humble background leadin' to his call to adventure. Plus, the Triforce itself. And the story in the movie should be more focused on Link's hero's journey with HIM as the main protag (left-handed like most guys named Link in the left-handed minority, or right-handed like the majority) AND the princess Zelda as the deuteragonist. AND a spiritual story with more similarities to the Bible and the message about being saved by grace through faith in Christ. A spiritual story that gets even closer to the gospel (good news) in the Bible (grace through faith). And the fight against demonic evil (even against the unseen demonic influences) should be the main conflict. Let Link AND Zelda be seen as equals (respected, valued, seen, and heard), even while they have different backgrounds. Both empowered as a team. Link can still save Zelda's life when she needs help, but let the two work as more of team with mutual support.

Generally family-friendly. But also mature with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess at T for Teen. Plus, the PG-13 could be guaranteed, like The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy (both the theatrical versions and the more detailed extended editions). With the action, adventure, the scary images, and the bloody violence, it could be PG-13, just like Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke.

I'd recommend the PG-13 for the violence (with blood), the battle sequences (where Link personally kills the bad guys to protect innocents), and the scary images (maybe some language). Could be rated PG-13 like Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke, The Wind Rises, and The Boy and the Heron. Filmin' it in New Zealand like the live-action Middle Earth movies could do wonders with mountains and the forests. And the Master Sword should have the winged quillons swept to the blade, two golden gems on the guard, and the straight, double-edged blade with the hexagonal cross-section. The Master Sword could even be called Excalibur (after King Arthur's Excalibur sword) as the proper name. Keepin' the traditional battle of good vs. evil AND the hero's triumph over the villain, but with more complexity AND the character development. Link should be the main protag from a humble background. With Zelda as the deuteragonist with a royal background (but humble in her personality). Link can still come to her rescue ta save her life when she needs help, but she's gotta be more empowered (like Nausicaa and the Studio Ghibli heroines). We could totes go with more teamwork, just like Sheeta AND Pazu from Castle in the Sky.

The soundtrack could be composed by somebody like Hisaishi Jo a.k.a. Fujisawa Mamoru and the crew in his orchestra. He could do the score in the style used for Princess Mononoke. Link's theme songs could be mixed with The Legend of Ashitaka (the short overture), The Journey to the West, The Encounter, The Forest of the Gods, Evening at the Ironworks, The Young Man from the East, Will to Live, The Battle Drums, Ashitaka and San, and The Legend of Ashitaka Theme (end credit). Zelda's themes could be mixed with The Encounter, Will to Live, Princess Mononoke Theme Song (Mononoke Hime) instrumental version, The Battle Drums, Ashitaka and San, AND Princess Mononoke Theme Song (Mononoke Hime). Ganondorf's themes could be mixed with The Demon God, The Demon Power, The Demon God II - The Lost Mountains, The Demon Power II, and The Demon God III. The Legend of Zelda movie with songs composed by Hisaishi Sensei could do wonders.

The Goddess Sword was like the dormant state before gettin' back in full power. For the Master Sword, I said, "I'd prefer the form with the winged quillons curved to the blade, two symmetrical golden gems on the guard, the straight, symmetrical blade with the normal steel, the Triforce on both sides, the symmetrical edges, the sharp, symmetrical spear point, and the symmetrical hexagonal cross-section." Specifically talkin' 'bout the normal Master Sword. The most iconic. Case ya forgot.

I meant to say "the exception to the usual formula that usually puts most common boys named Link in the spotlight as the main protags". In parentheses. A small grammatical error.
It'll be great to have Link back in the usual lead role as the regular Joe in the main spotlight again. With Zelda as the deuteragonist. The blue outfit on Zelda could work when travelin' outside the castle. Plus, it'll be great if they work together as a team, like the ones in Hyrule Warriors.
It'd be great to hear an American accent from Link AND Ganondorf. Just to differentiate 'em from Zelda. British accent could work for the Zelda in the movie (like in Breath of the Wild AND Tears of the Kingdom). And the Master Sword SHOULD be included as the main weapon. Plus, the back scabbard could use an open slot to allow the blade to come out (AND slide back into the scabbard). The Master Sword's design should be consistent with the upswept winged quillons curved to the blade, two golden gems on the guard, the concave ricasso, the blade's hexagonal cross-section, the Triforce on the flats, the straight edges, and the spear point. The Hylian Shield should be carried horizontally on Link's arm.

Could be a photo shoot. It'd be great to include Link's green outfit with the green hat.
What about scabbards with open slots so the sword comes out easier? Back scabbards with short swords could work, too.

They all look good. I'd prefer the form with the winged quillons curved to the blade, two symmetrical golden gems on the guard, the straight, symmetrical blade with the normal steel, the Triforce on both sides, the symmetrical edges, the sharp, symmetrical spear point, and the symmetrical hexagonal cross-section.

With permission from the authors at Nintendo AND Studio Ghibli, it'd be great to have Echoes of Wisdom (with Zelda in the lead role to promote female empowerment with creativity) mixed with Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Skyward Sword with Castle in the Sky AND Porco Rosso. AND Tears of the Kingdom with Princess Mononoke. In separate cinematic albums. With a big orchestra by human artists usin' musical instruments, not AI.
Skyloft was dif'rent. The Sky Islands in Tears of the Kingdom didn't exist yet. Not till after many years after Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, etc.
I meant to say "It could work as a temporary power-up, then back to the normal Master Sword with the indigo hilt, green handle wrappin', and the two golden jewels on the guard (while keepin' the blade's straight edges, the blade's spear point, and the blade's hexagonal cross-section fully intact)".
(Edited by True Lion of Hylia)
As an idea, an extra upgrade could give the Master Sword a gold-inlaid hilt while keepin' the jewels and the blade's hexagonal cross-section intact, but with the two jewels colored red. And the blade's hexagonal cross-section could be engraved with verses from the Bible. Like one side engraved with the verse in Joshua 1:9 that says "Be strong and courageous", AND the verse in Isaiah 54:17 on the other side that says "No weapon formed against you shall prosper". Both from the Old Testament. And the Master Sword upgrade with the gold-inlaid hilt and the two red jewels (while keepin' the Master Sword's blade with the hexagonal cross-section) should be named Trisagion (a Greek name). It could work as a temporary power-up, then back to the normal Master Sword with the indigo hilt, green handle wrappin', and the two golden jewels on the guard (while still keepin' the blade's straight edges, the blade's spear point, and the blade hexagonal cross-section fully intact).

In a Skyward Sword prequel, the Master Sword a.k.a. Excalibur should be the left-handed Link's ultimate main weapon in the "one-handed category". In a time when the sacred steel blade was just comin' into full power for the first time (Hylia's Era). A few verses from the Bible (Old Testament AND New Testament) could do the trick. In the Hebrew, Greek, AND Latin languages. All the letter could be green (like the Zonai runes when the Master Sword had a material fused with it by spiritual power). Plus, the sword should be the Master Sword with the indigo hilt, upswept quillons curved to the blade, two tiny golden jewels on the guard, the rectangular one-handed ricasso, the straight edges, the spear point, and the hexagonal cross-section with the Triforce symbol on the blade's flats. Not the Goddess Sword with blue jewels, but the Master Sword with two tiny golden jewels. And the sword itself should be unbreakable, invincible, AND indestructible with unlimited uses. And the holy sword should be in Link's left hand ('cuz he was left-handed in the manga). Like any one-handed sword, Link should start with horizontal slashes, not diagonal chops. All done left-handed (with or without a shield on his right arm). And the Master Sword should be story-related. Essential to defeat Demise the Demon King with a stab in the center of his chest as the final blow to end the final boss fight. Hylia should be there to help Link, and the hero Link deals the final blow by stabbin' the Demon King in the chest (like Skyward Sword's Link does many years later), weakening the giant so he's sealed underground for 1,000 years.
