Nintendo Reportedly Working On A Legend of Zelda Smartphone Game

We’re still waiting on the new Animal Crossing smartphone game from Nintendo, but  Wall Street Journal reports that the company is working with DeNA on a new Legend of Zelda smartphone game.

According to “people familiar with the matter,” the Animal Crossing smartphone app is likely to release sometime in the latter half of 2017, and The Legend of Zelda’s new smartphone game is expected to follow that, but the sources cautioned that the timing and order of the releases could be changed.

Representatives from both Nintendo and DeNA declined to comment on the matter. As always, we’ll take it with a grain of salt, but given Zelda’s recent success with Breath of the Wild, it’s pretty easy to see why. Nonetheless, it’d be another big jump for Nintendo and their journey in the smartphone marketplace.
