Ember Lab Would Make a Great Legend of Zelda Game
One of 2021's breakout indie games was Kena: Bridge of Spirits, an action-adventure title with a touching storyline, dazzling visuals and solid gameplay. From the moment it was first unveiled during Sony's PS5 reveal event in Summer 2020, it caught eyes among gamers for returning to the more old school tendencies of action platformer titles like Jak and Daxter. Even more so, comparisons were made to Nintendo's own The Legend of Zelda franchise due to its themes, art style and puzzle elements.
It is unclear what developer Ember Lab is up to at the moment, but considering that the studio isn't owned by Sony, it could decide to work on anything next. Additionally, because of how similar Kena: Bridge of Spirits is to Nintendo's franchise, as well as developer Ember Lab's obvious love for the series as seen in its Majora's Mask fan film, the studio would be a perfect fit to tackle a futureLegend of Zelda installment.
