After Illumination's Super Mario Bros film became one of the most successful animated movies ever, it's perhaps unsurprising that Nintendo is very much in favour of more cinematic ventures. And judging from information shared by producer Eiji Aonuma in a wonderfully transparent interview with Polygon the Zelda franchise could very well be the next big movie project if all goes well.
"I have to say, I am interested. For sure, but it's not just me being interested in something that makes things happen, unfortunately. Maybe the voice of the fans is what's important here,"
Given how incredibly well Tears of the Kingdom has been received by fans and critics alike, it's definitely in Nintendo's interest to act on the game's popularity. And wouldn't it be great to see Zelda, Link and Ganon treated to a movie worthy of the game series that could scrub away the memory of the late 80s animated disaster?
What would you prefer, a sequel to the Super Mario Bros movie, a Zelda movie, or something else entirely (and if so, what would you like to see)?
