I really wish people would quit doing this. Not every IP needs to exist in all forms of media and video games rarely make for good movies.

True but I have to admit... I love the damn Mario Movie. It's such a fun brainless ride.

I loved the Mario movie too (a very cursed phrase in other days huh?) but IMO Zelda should have taken the animation path too... Heck, even the anime format would fit (something similar to Castlevania anime).

I have always found it funny that my gf does not like anime, but she is a Zelda fan (literally is the only franchise she plays) and you can quickly catch all the quirks and gags that you get from the Zelda games that are just anime-like.

Sure, but if you only look at recent history, Super Mario Bros, Sonic 1/2/3 & Detective Pikachu all did great. Sure there are bad ones that came out recently too, but you always assume (even if incorrect) you'll make a good one.
