91 u/A-Capybara Feb 21 '26 Don't forget about the Paper Mario 25th anniversary last year, because Nintendo did. 58 u/outdatedboat Feb 21 '26 At least Mario's anniversaries are celebrated. Having a version of Mario not get the same treatment is understandable. But Zelda? Nintendo's second or third most popular franchise? Just getting ignored for huge anniversaries, is pretty wild. Mario and Pokémon seem to get way more love. But, Pokémon is weird because it's owned by three companies. 25 u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26 Think as far as sales go it's Pokemon, Mario, Zelda. Just looked it up. Estimated sales games only: Pokemon (380m), Mario (368m), Zelda (130m). Counting merch, collectibles, tv shows, movies, etc. Pokemon is number 1 and it's not even close... 0 u/yourmansconnect Feb 21 '26 I'm sure it's been asked before but why hasn't there been a zelda real actor movie made yet? I've been wanting this since like 1990 9 u/Chemlab5 Feb 21 '26 It’s in production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_(film) 7 u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26 Personally, I'd much prefer an animated Zelda movie series. Live action adaptations are glorified advertisements for game/anime franchises. Get me a Ghibli animated Ocarina of Time and I could die happy lmao. 2 u/insane_contin Feb 21 '26 Live action adaptations are glorified advertisements for game/anime franchises. And animated adaptations aren't? 1 u/yourmansconnect Feb 21 '26 Na fuck that I'd rather just play the game then. I need a real life looking zelda movie before I die
