As Super Mario breaks all box office records, audiences are hopping with anticipation for future announcements. Zelda, another iconic Nintendo franchise, will it also be adapted on the big screen?
Released in theaters on April 5, Super Mario Bros gathered 6.628 million spectators in France. The mustachioed plumber surpasses The Minions to become the biggest success of a film stamped Universal in France.
Internationally, the triumph is total. With 1.2 billion dollars collected, the plumber brothers climbed to 5th place among the biggest successes in animation, threatening Disney and The Snow Queen.
2023 is the Nintendo year! After Super Mario in the cinema, the Kyoto firm launched Tears of the Kingdom, the new game from the Zelda license, on May 12.
After a first weekend, sales are already stratospheric and reviews are rave reviews. Players are thrilled with the titanic challenge that awaits Link, the hero of the saga.
Have these successive successes given Nintendo ideas for a film centered on The Legend of Zelda? This is the question posed by the media Polygon to the game’s producers, Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi.
“I have to say I’m interested. That’s for sure. But it’s not just my interest that will make things happen, unfortunately.”said Eiji Aonuma.
I must say that I am interested. For sure.
“Perhaps it is the voice of the fans that is important here”added Hidemaro Fujibayashi, suggesting that an adaptation could see the light of day if the aficionados of the saga mobilized in this direction.
If the two producers of the Zelda games seem ready to see the hero of time arrive in the cinema, the creator of the saga, Shigeru Miyamoto, has not yet spoken on this subject. He only whispered that the success of Mario obviously opened up possibilities, without going any further.
After Mario, the Zelda franchise is one of the most popular in the world with more than 125 million games sold since its creation. An adaptation on the big screen, in animation or live action, will certainly happen one day. Patience !
