Top 10 things that is needed to be put in The Legend of Zelda movie: 10.) A new version of Hyrule with it's own set of characters and familiar faces 9.)Lore ( History of Hyrule, Hylia, the 3 Goddesses (Din, Nayru, and Farore), Demon King Demise, and the Triforce, Great Deku Tree, etc) 8.) Races such as the Gorons, Ritos, Gerudo, and Zorans 7.) An Original Story build by passionate fans and confident writers 6.) Give Ganondorf more in-depth in to his character 5.) Link's personality and being his own character 4.) The Cast 3.) An epic action-fantasy with a dash of gritty realism 2.) Link and Princess Zelda's relationship (from friends at the beginning til they grow into lovers as their journey progresses further) 1.) Replacing Tom Holland with a different young actor for Link

Yeah, I agree that Link needs more of a personality. I think that they should make him kind of have the same personality as Giyu from Demon Slayer 😅
