Nintendo has a great variety of properties that are well-established and beloved among video game fans.

OnceThe Legend of Zeldamovie was announced, it really seemed like this could be a viable direction.

But now, the film’s latest announcement has caused some confusion.

If a film universe was going to be started, why wouldThe Legend of Zeldabe live-action?

Overall, this newest announcement puts a big hold on the concept of a Nintendo film universe.

Now, it seems more likely that the properties will stay quite separate from each other.

Overall, this is a shame for Nintendo fans.

However,The Legend of Zeldabeing live-action completely ruins this.

While animation and live-action can be mixed, it would be a bit strange.

This is especially true becauseZeldahas always been animated.

It seems that perhaps the desire for a live-actionZeldaoutweighed the desire for ashared Nintendo universe plan.
