A now-deleted social media post has fans guessing that The Legend of Zelda could be finally getting its own theme park attraction after years of speculation.

A now-deleted video shared on a Universal Studios employee Instagram account appears to show Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto wearing safety gear at a construction site, as reported on by GamesRadar. While the official context was lost alongside the video itself, those who saw it and have since shared screenshots on social media claim that it was taken at Universal Studios Orlando’s upcoming Epic Universe expansion — which will be the site of the park’s Super Nintendo World attraction that is set to open next summer.

While this photo could be for anything, the presence of Aonuma and Miyamoto seems to suggest this
