The Wall Street Journal has reported that Nintendo is looking into bringing The Legend of Zelda to smartphones.
While this isn’t confirmed, Nintendo is constantly looking to bolster its mobile output. Super Mario Run wasn’t the rip-roaring success that the Japanese company expected, according to Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima in an interview with Nikkei, but that hasn’t deterred them, it seems.
In February, Kimishima spoke with Time about how Nintendo is ‘gaining confidence’ in the mobile space after Fire Emblem Heroes made $5 million in revenue, in less than a week.
WSJ is reporting that this Zelda app will be out in later this year, some time after the planned Animal Crossing game that’s making its way to mobile. As well as that, The Pokémon Company is apparently looking at releasing a card-game on smartphones, but once again, little else is known.
Given Nintendo’s prior comments about launching five games on mobile in 2017 with DeNA, this Zelda application could become a reality. Difficult to say what that will be at this early stage, but as soon as we know, you’ll know.
