No they don't. The movie aren't being made to sell individual games. They are being made to make their franchises household names again. You're looking at this whole thing with a tunnel vision Nintendo isn't suffering from. This isn't about their games. It's about their IP. It doesn't matter if a new Zelda doesn't come our for 20 years. They'll make a Zelda movie whenever they need to because it's about the Zelda brand. The movie is what they're selling at that point. That's the main Zelda product of that year. This stuff isn't secondary to the games just because they are supplementary to them. |
Do you know what synergy is? Nintendo will be using that, and it's a tried and true business practice.
If one of the trailers for a Zelda movie is a Zelda game that looks almost exactly like it (and let's face it, we're at that point with consoles) it could do a LOT of good. They aren't going to keep two entertainment branches solo, I promise you.
