A developer on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has revealed that they want to make a Legend of Zelda spin-off, which doesn't seem too far-fetched considering Nintendo and Ubisoft's previous collaborations.
Prince of Persia fans have been begging Ubisoft for a new game for a long time now and, while we seemingly won't be seeing the Sands of Time remake for quite a while, The Lost Crown has already managed to reinvigorate the series in a big way.
