The Legend of Zelda Producer is Interested in a Movie Adaptation
Long-time The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has stated in a recent interview with Polygon that he would be interested in in adapting the franchsie into a movie.
When asked if the recent success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie had spurred excitement about a potential The Legend of Zelda adaptation, “I have to say, I am interested,” Aonuma stated. “For sure.”
“But it’s not just me being interested in something that makes things happen, unfortunately.”
Hidemaro Fujibayashi—director of the recently-released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—indicated that the support of fans would be important in making a potential movie based on Zelda happen. Fujibayashi said, “maybe the voice of the fans is what’s important here.”
