The Future of Lost Continent

Animal Crossing is a legitimate wild card imo. It is one of Nintendo's biggest IPs as of late, would likely sell a solid amount of merch and themed food, and could definitely fit well into a smaller plot of land. A slow-moving Small World-type dark ride around the Town / Island would fit that IP remarkably well.

I wouldn't say it's out of the question for Universal in 2025 to lean towards an Animal Crossing expansion over Zelda, especially if properties like Lord of the Rings are possible for the resort in the longterm.

It probably doesn't help Zelda's chances that Sony is the one making the upcoming film, and not Universal a la Super Mario.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think anyone who makes vacation planning decisions knows what One Piece is. I just looked it up and it looks like all the other Manga out there— there is no appeal to anyone who doesn’t already know what it is.

I’m not a gamer, but I can recognize Nintendo, Zelda, Pokemon. I would absolutely be interested in any of those, or Wicked/Oz, or LOTR any day.

One Piece to me only sounds like a skimpy KFC combo…

This is incredibly reductive and up there with "why get Potter it's just like all other fairytales". I'm not even confident they'd even do it, but this comment just seems so reductive and hand waving.
