news culture Tears of the Kingdom: The creators of the latest Zelda are “interested” in a movie. Soon the same fate as Mario?
The most anticipated game of the year, [The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom] is finally (exclusively) available on Nintendo Switch since May 12th. An expectation that comes with great pressure for this sequel, which should meet the expectations linked to the predecessor [Breath of the Wild]. Expectations that he has apparently fulfilled, as evidenced by the various, mostly excellent, press reports.
On release day, it was Eiji Aonuma (Executive Producer) and Hidemaro Fujibayashi (Game Director) who spoke to our colleagues at Polygon on various topics. When questioned by our peers essentially with video game questions polygonThey were also challenged about Link’s future in cinemas and in particular their excitement at the idea of seeing The Knights of Hyrule on the big screen:
Aonuma: I have to say I’m interested. Certainly. But unfortunately it’s not just my interest in something that makes things possible.
Fujibayashi: Maybe it’s the voice of the fans that matters here.
Statements echoing those of Shigeru Miyamoto. Nintendo’s creative director then described his company as “talent agency‘” And “The possibilities were manifold“.
Super Mario Bros. The Movie: an absolute hit
A fan voice that was heard a lot on the occasion of the film’s release Super Mario Bros. The animated film, in theaters since April 5, was a hit when it was released and still is. He got off to a better start than that Disney Frozen 2 and has quickly surpassed other video game adaptations for the cinema sit on the throne, crown (or cap) on the head.
A few weeks later the film was released by Illuminati Studio (Me, despicable me in particular) exceeds the billion dollars in international revenue. A success that allows Nintendo and Illuminati Studio to think about expanding their collaboration for other future projects. This is supported by rumors about films with Donkey Kong or Luigi in the role of the main character. From now on we will also think of Link.
