What kind of would suit the Legend of ?
Universal has shown it can make several different compelling rides out of different franchises. At Super Nintendo World, Mario will be represented by a VR experience, a kart , and an omnimover. It seems unlikely that Universal would go for another kart , but if it did, The of : provides the perfect template.
However, we think that an indoor rollercoaster with 3D elements is the most likely. Universal has already shown their expertise in crafting this kind of attraction as we’ve previously seen with Universal Orlando’s Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts.
A themed track would likely be “hosted” by a character from the series, just like how the Potter characters host the Gringotts coaster. Obviously, characters aren’t known to be the chattiest, so it would probably be best for guests to be led by characters that have traditionally served Link on his quests. of Time‘s Navi or ‘ Midna would make excellent guides.

What other links to the could we expect?
As Super Nintendo World focuses on integrating exciting experiences into every aspect of the park, we’d expect the same treatment for the . As such, the epic Power-Up Bands seen in the Mario areas would have to interact with themed objects around the park and let guests accumulate rupees instead of coins. Any will tell you that rupees are an essential component of any good , so we’d expect to see them at Super Nintendo World too. Of course, this is all speculation and theories at this point and Universal has not confirmed these additions.
There is currently no indication of whether Nintendo has any plans to bring , Lorule, Termina, or any other themed locations into the . However, with Breath of the Wild’s continued success, we wouldn’t be surprised if a or even a whole land was on the cards over the next few years.
