I've been saying for years now that nintendo and disney need to partner up. Nintendo could make games based on disney's timeless catalogue, pixar could make a super mario movie, disney studios would do zelda, and disney can build an actual Nintendoland in Tokyo or Kyoto. The problem that they'd have to solve though: Nintendo lets story serve gameplay, Disney puts storytelling above all else. For instance, this live-action Zelda in development at Netflix: They'll need to standardize a lot of things that have been kept intentionally fuzzy about the zelda universe. Do you pick one Hero of Time and follow him, or do you jump around and show them affecting each other? Which version or versions of Hyrule do you go with? What is Link's personality? You need to keep him as stoic as possible while still being likable. Just hope they have producers who love the source material and wanna dig in and figure out how to capture the spirit of the series.
