Daily Debate: What Zelda Themed Attractions Do You Want To See at the Nintendo Theme Park?
Posted on August 02 2019 by David Nystrom
With Nintendo introducing a handful of amusement parks in the coming years, we are all expecting to see the Zelda series represented in some way. The big question though, is how will Hyrule make its impact?
From roller coasters to the midway to resort style hotels, it’s anybody’s guess. And there’s certainly a wealth of elements from the series that could be worked into the theme park setting. Think of the roller coaster feelings that come from spinning around the Arbiter’s Grounds in Twilight Princess or out in the Lanayru Desert of Skyward Sword. Then there’s the shooting galleries in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask that already have everything they’d need to fit in on a midway. And who wouldn’t love a chance to stay in Hyrule Castle? I hear the view from the tower is great!
If I had to choose just one element though, I’d probably pick riding a mine cart around at high speeds and seeing all sorts of stuff from Hyrule’s history as decorations around the roller coaster.
But what about you? What sort of Zelda inspired attractions are you hoping to see Nintendo roll out at their theme park? Let us know in the comments below!
