Game Overview:
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open world action-adventure title developed and published by Nintendo.
It is the first Zelda title in years to feature a fully open world non-linear setting.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has also reached 20.80 million units sold since launching last year for Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo announced in November that it was working with Sony Pictures on a live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda.
Well, Mr. Aonuma, a lot of Zelda fans would gladly tell you how much they want a link to that past.
"It is true that I think there's always room for thinking about this type of thing and Zelda's role," says Eiji Aonuma.
Wes Bell says he wants the Zelda movie to be "this awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn’t like Lord of the Rings, it’s its own thing."
Meanwhile, Animal Crossing: New Horizons stands at 42.79 million units sold, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has risen to 31.77 million units.
Two seminal open world epics, but which one did it better?
Series producer Eiji Aonuma says Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom's open world structure will remain the Zelda template for the foreseeable future.
The Legend of Zelda series producer is definitely interested in a movie adaptation after the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
"In the initial proposal, we clearly stated 'the setting will not change' as an important concept," says director Hidemaro Fujibayashi.
Nintendo has provided for the ten best-selling first party titles on the Nintendo Switch, including Smash Bros., Zelda, Pokemon, and more.
