Daily Debate: What Kind of Nintendo Crossover Game Should Link Appear in?

Picture this: Link traversing strange mountains and valleys filled, but instead of moblins and kees, he has to contend with Goombas and Koopas. We’ve seen such a strange scenario in Super Smash Bros Brawl’s Subspace Emissary levels. With just this one quirky example, you can see how much potential Link has for crossover.

If I had my choice to add Link into a different Nintendo universe, I would love for him to appear in a Donkey Kong crossover game. Much like a lot of Smash,  it wouldn’t make a drop of sense, but having Donkey Kong battle across Hyrule while Link puzzles his way through a dangerous island jungle just seems like a game for the ages. I imagine the game alternating chapters. In each level, the iconic Nintendo characters would attempt to get back to their world as they struggle with the peculiarities of what, to them, is an alien land. And the skills and tools they used in their own games would take on new function while they are stranded.

How about you? What crossover game could you imagine with Link and the Nintendo franchise library? How would it play? Leave your comments below!
