As we have all seen and know, crossovers can either be a boon or a disaster to any series. The Legend of Zelda is no stranger to this. From cameos in games, like Soul Calibur II, to extra content, like in Sonic Lost World, our beloved series has been represented in all its glory. It’s clear that occurrences such as these are simply a homage paid to the world of Hyrule and its characters, and it’s an excellent way to cross-promote or add a little more hype to a particular series.

Although like many of the Lego parodies, this does have a bit of a tongue in cheek quality to…

IGN recently published an article where they talk about Nintendo crossovers they want to happen. Not surprisingly, The Legend of Zelda appears in the first crossover possibility and is paired with an lesser-known series: Fire Emblem. The author goes on to explain that Zelda and Fire Emblem joining forces is very unlikely, which is probably true.
