UBISOFT ALMOST GAVE ZELDA A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HERO! 😱🔥
Ubisoft Milan, the team behind Mario + Rabbids, reportedly pitched Nintendo a brand-new Zelda spin-off that would have moved away from the traditional Link and Zelda formula.
The project was internally called “Goliath” and originally featured a completely new protagonist. But Nintendo reportedly asked Ubisoft to make Ganondorf the playable character instead. Ubisoft Milan reworked the concept around Zelda's legendary villain.
The team eventually produced a prototype, but Nintendo reportedly rejected it in November 2023, and the project was canceled. The exact reason Nintendo rejected the prototype has not been revealed.
Imagine getting a full Zelda game where GANONDORF is the main character! 👀
