¡°It¡¯s dangerous to go alone!¡±
This might be the most famous line of any video game, uttered at the beginning of 1986¡¯s The Legend of Zelda, as an old man hands you a sword and sends you off on an adventure. It is also advice that Nintendo has been taking: With its announcement of a Zelda live-action movie, it has shown again that it knows better than to go by itself.
It has been seven years since the Kyoto-based firm first said it was venturing into the movie business and, ever since, it has been picking some smart partners. For the animated ¡°The Super Mario Bros. Movie,¡± the second-biggest earner at the worldwide box office this year, it turned to Illumination, the maker of ¡°Minions,¡± which has been producing the most consistently successful computer-generated family movies.
