Is a Zelda theme park coming Eiji Aonuma's video vanishes

Jan 25, 2024 5:42 PM

Excitement builds in the gaming community as a video featuring Eiji Aonuma at Universal Studios Orlando hints at the possibility of a The Legend of Zelda theme park. Aonuma, best known as the lead in the Zelda series, and Shigeru Miyamoto were spotted in a now-deleted post, leading to speculation. Despite no official statement from Nintendo, fans are connecting dots between this sighting and the closure of the park's Islands of Adventure, which shares an aesthetic fitting for the Kingdom of Hyrule. Nintendo's theme park expansions, including Super Nintendo World and the upcoming Donkey Kong Country area, illustrate the company's interest in extending its franchise experiences. The potential Zelda theme park could continue this trend, especially following the announcement of a live-action Zelda film.

Is a Zelda theme park under development at Universal Studios?

Although Nintendo has not confirmed any plans, the recent appearance of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma at Universal Studios Orlando and the closure of the Islands of Adventure area have fueled rumors that a Zelda-themed attraction could indeed be in the pipeline.

The Legend of Zelda series has been a staple of the gaming world since its inception in 1986. Renowned for its explorative gameplay, intricate puzzles, and iconic music, the series has become a beloved franchise globally. Its central character, Link, embarks on quests throughout the kingdom of Hyrule to rescue Princess Zelda and thwart the evil schemes of Ganon. The series has seen numerous iterations and remains influential, with its upcoming title "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" highly anticipated by fans. If the rumors are true, fans might soon enjoy Hyrule in an entirely new, immersive way at Universal Studios.
