I dont see illumination capturing the mood of zelda, its not a slapstick chuckle fest. Its a quiet and meditative adventure, filled with traps and dangers and magic

I wanna hear "Well excuuuuse me princess!" at least that's all I ask.

Shield surfing for bonus points.

Otherwise I'm pretty open-minded. Link doesn't have much character to begin with so I have no expectations.

My fear for any future character they use that's not Mario or Kirby related. Metroid, Zelda, StarFox, F-Zero there's legitimate mature lore involved in those characters.

eh

Zelda to me was always about gameplay over story. By the time the storys got deeper i was already checked out

Zelda dont compare at all with Mario to casuals. Casuals know all about mario and its characters.

I consider myself a zelda fan and dont even understand half the story or know any characters sides a few.

Star fox would have been a good one after mario. Save zelda for something else. If zelda bombs wont be anything but mario.

Imo like the games, nintendo could create their own universe of genre pics; each one diff. Zelda could he nintendos lord of the rings, metroid their alien, and star fox their startrek/star wars.

You say Zelda don’t compare to Mario to casual audiences but then say Star Fox, a franchise who’s last game was in 2016 and last relevant game was when Clinton was in office, would be a better choice?:russ:

I do think Star Fox would be a better choice for an animation project (by a studio like Illumination) than Zelda, even if its far less popular.

Star Fox is pretty easy to adapt, its basically Muppet Babies Star Wars
