Considering how well the Super Mario movie worked out for Illumination, I'm expecting to hear something about a new movie or short TV series. Maybe more Mario, maybe Legend of Zelda. In any case, there's no way Nintendo won't be going hard in that direction now that they see what a gold mine it is.
My knee-jerk reaction is I'd love a Zelda movie, but I'm nervous it wouldn't translate to the big screen very well for several reasons
It could. Here's an interesting idea: make the film be the prologue to the entire series. Set the film at the very beginning of the timeline.
One concept that popped up on tumblr a while back is either a miniseries of movie-length episodes, or a multi-season series of standard episodes, where each episode/season is self-contained, and tells The Legend Of Zelda, as told by a different person each time, corresponding to the games
E.g.: season 1 is told by a grandma in a cabin in the forest (for the original game). Another season is told by a seafaring family (for Wind Waker). Etc.
Each season/episode has the same actors playing the same characters, but the costumes, the details, the sets, etc. are varied between stories.
