Maybe I'll eat my hat, but I keep seeing people fear monger/hype(???) themselves over a rumour of an Illumination animated Zelda film...But like Nintendo has been pretty protective over the Zelda IP since BOTW. Unless it's a film that directly ties into BOTW/TOTK, I can't really see Nintendo approving on any sort of Zelda spin-off pitch, even if the Mario movie does really well.

Mario is a bit more ubiquitous when it comes to appeal and broad recognition. Not that LoZ as a whole is unpopular -- I think BOTW really re-established the franchise and reintroduced it into public consciousness. But when placed up against Mario, LoZ doesn't really hold a candle in terms of marketability.

#also i mean like #this rumour circulates every few years #so there's that #there's also a lot of logistical reasons im sort of like ehh abt the possibility #and i could write an essay in these tags about every minor detail #but i think it really comes down to #LoZ is too messy and full of themes and ideas that would just not fly as an American animated feature #its simply too niche and too risky #too many details would need to be sanitized #too many ideas that would need to be common knowledge before hand #and like have you TRIED asking ur average zelda fan about a simple explanation of the lore #because #no one on this green earth could elevator pitch you the same synopsis of this franchise
