Just thinking of that fact alone, both of those would work wonders as an MMO, provided they don't screw it up of course. Theres a firm grasp of magic and weaponry in Hyrule, with a huge array of enemies using both, You could probably work in a few classes there, the generic warrior/hero class (Like Link), Spellcaster class(maybe it could be called a Sage Class?), There could be a class similar to Necromancy, where a character uses dark magic to summon redeads (Redeads are not zombies, but manifestations of dark magic), Theres several races in both games (Gorons, Gerudo, Zora, Hylians, Kokiri, Skull Kids, Ritos, etc.) and (Goombas, Plumbers (humans?), Toads, Bowser Kids, Boo, Koopas, etc.) They've got all they need for great MMOs except for a loose plot for the players to use.

I would imagine the game to be focused more on PvE, where you could team up with a number of different characters that act as certain classes (e.g. Link is a ranged fighter with some melee, Mario is a hand-to-hand combatant with lots of acrobatic moves and suits to allow for various tasks, etc.). You could have various tasks or objectives for your party to complete. I would imagine this to be a lot more team-based, where you explore places like Hyrule or the Mushroom Kingdom. PvP could be introduced a la the Smash Brothers concept.

I'm definitely not afraid to say I would love a Pokemon or Zelda MMORPG. A Mario one would be a little difficult to pull off but heck I'd play it.
