Nah, Zelda does all the talking, then makes a subtle jab at Link at the end... Then Link looks over at her and says:

I’m ok with live action link movie connecting if somehow Mario pops into his world pulls him back and then we get cartoon Link.

They've got a lot of characters who would be amazing in standalone movies.
Samus in an Alien-style movie.

Rocky, but with Little Mac.

I'm with you 100%. I could expect any Mario character. Even a Geno reveal would have pissed me off cause it would too be cool to find out in theaters but understandable since it's a Mario movie.
But Fox is a whole can of worms that is awesome but also makes every other can of worms possible and less impressive. Link, Samus, Kirby or Pikachu even if they keep them as a surprise, are going to be less surprising because we know they decided to cross universes since Fox.

Though, to be fair, my daughter wants to see this in theaters, so I probably would have seen it walking in, anyway. I still wish movie companies would let some things be a surprise.

Of all the IP that Nintendo owns, Star Fox feels the easiest to translate to a movie. Unless they can get Spielberg to do a Mother movie. Earthbound is basically just the JRPG version of an Amblin movie

If it leads to a new Star Fox game then I'm all for it.

What are you implying IS happening? Does it start with S and end with Mash Brothers?

It's one of Miyamoto's darlings, as long as he still works at the company it's never truly going to die.

I'm convinced that surprises in the world in terms of media is completely dead

Ah, this takes me back to the steam-powered locomotive hype train leading up to the SSB Brawl release.

It’s pretty clear they went with Galaxy as a means to expand the Nintendo-verse it seems. I would bet big money on a Metroid tease as well if we’re getting Star Fox.

Yeah starting to understand why they skipped a Super Mario World. They want that expanded universe money

This reminds me of when Batman vs Superman spoiled Doomsday being in the movie. The impact of these characters showing up would be so much greater without knowing about it from a spoiled trailer or poster.

I don't know if you are being serious, but that's not AiAi. It is a monkey from Yoshi's Island (SNES).

Don’t worry, you can still act surprised when you see Samus in the post-credits.
