The legend of zelda is coming to smartphones

After Tatsumi Kimishima's arrival to the Nintendo presidency after the sad death of Satoru Iwata we are seeing a very important change in the company, most of the fans never expected to see the big N franchises outside of their game consoles but this changed with The arrival of Super Mario Run on iOS and Android, the next step will be taken by The Legend of Zelda.

Link and Zelda are about to land on mobile

Without a doubt The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved franchises by gamers around the world and one of the fundamental pillars of Nintendo. The Wall Street Journal says that Nintendo will launch a Zelda game for smartphones in the second half of this same year 2017. For now Nintendo has not spoken about it so everything is possible, nothing has been said about the monetization of the game so that it could adopt a model very similar to that of Super Mario Run or instead you can bet on a model of micro-transactions like Fire Emblem Heroes.

Tatsumi Kimishima affirms that the intention of Nintendo is to make its franchises reach as many users as possible, a radical change in the policy of a company that had been very closed to the possibility of launching its games for other platforms. Times change and Nintendo knows that it must adapt to new demands. After this information came to light, Nintendo's shares have risen 70 points.

If this information turns out to be true, it is very likely that in the future we will see many more Nintendo games for mobile platforms, for example a Super Smash Brosh or a Mario Party that would be ideal to play with family or friends on tablets.
