According to Chris Meledandri the CEO and founder of Illumination the rumor that a movie based

The Legend of Zelda

is in development is false. Daniel Richtman, a news leaker, posted an article on his Patreon late last week stating that adaptations of The Legend of Zelda as well as Luigi’s Mansion Donkey Kon and The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 are actively being developed. Meledandri told The wrap that he had no idea how the rumor about Legends of Zelda started.

“I can understand why people would make all kinds of assumptions because we’ve worked together so well. I am on the board of directors at Nintendo, so I can understand how people might surmise such things. This was something I’ve heard a lot of rumors about, but not the specifics. This is just about what’s next between Nintendo and Illumination.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIEbq__EhfoSince the release and overwhelming success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, rumors about future collaborations between Nintendo and Illumination have been popping up all over. While we know the studios are quietly working on a sequel to this year’s Mario movie, it sounds like any other project is speculation.

However, the fact remains that Nintendo is making a hard push to expand with the opening of two Super Nintendo World attractions at Universal theme parks in Japan and California, and rumors about a new video game set in the Mario universe are all the rage. Hollywood is eager to make everything a money-making franchise. We will likely see more Nintendo property adapted over time. I can't see a world in which Nintendo would leave

The Legend of Zelda behind. It’s probably too early to say.What is your opinion on the likelihood of Nintendo adapting The Legend of Zelda

? Do you believe Nintendo and Illumination have been quietly working on a remake and don’t wish to announce it yet? Tell us in the comments.
