Mario + Rabbids sequel (or spiritual successor like Zelda+Rabbids) on Switch?

I really loved Mario + Rabbids and would like to see a sequel.  I would not want to see Zelda + Rabbids though.  

There is a reason why Mario + Rabbids works.  Both franchises are whimsical.  The Mushroom Kingdom is a whimsical dream-like place.  The Mario franchise has always been whimsical, but they aren't mischievous.  The Rabbids are both whimsical and mischievous.  So the Rabbids are the comedy and the Mario people are the "straight man" types, but it all fits, because it's all whimsical to begin with.

So there are other franchises, like Kirby or Donkey Kong or Splatoon, that would work just fine with Rabbids.  Even Animal Crossing would work fine with Rabbids.  Then there are other franchises like Metroid or Fire Emblem or Bayonetta, that wouldn't really work as well.  I would put Zelda in this category.  I know there are cartoonier Zelda games, but there are reasons why people complain when they make those.  Most Zelda fans want Link to be a badass in a dangerous world instead of in a zany cartoon.  I personally wouldn't want a Zelda + Rabbids crossover.

I don't see how it couldn't work tbh.. the Mario characters weren't the one to bring the comedic elements but the rabbids. Also, it doesn't need to be cartoon link but still your argument doesn't stand since Wind Waker is one of the most appreciated Zelda game ever even tho it's not a badass link. If something like Link's awakening doesn't get too much backlash, i'm sure a spinoff would be appreciated no matter the style they pick.

Wind Waker sucks.  It's not just me saying this either.  It was a divisive game since it was first released.  Some Zelda fans love it.  Some hate it.  Zelda fans want Link to be a badass, and that is why Wind Waker was so divisive.

So, while they could make a Zelda + Rabbids game with Toon Link, it's not going to be terribly successful.  Too many Zelda fans would hate it.  What would work a lot better is a franchise that is already cartoony like Kirby or Splatoon.  But Zelda fans want Link to be a badass, and the Zelda series isn't consistent in delivering that.  Zelda + Rabbids would seriously be a bad move.
