I have 2 problems with that idea....

1) The Legend of Zelda is a pretty successful franchise, but, almost no one is even aware of any LoZ mangas nor the cartoon (which I don't think even followed canon). As for "Merchandise", that's something a bit too common to use as a reason.

2) The choices of franchises. They just...don't feel like they fit each other. Like, the only link between them is "Videogames".

I mean, Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia do fit each other...both games involve lots of parkour and (some specific AC Protags aside) have charming rogues (well, Ezio kinda tones it down later on).

.....But neither Assassin's Creed nor Prince of Persia feel fitting alongside Legend of Zelda and far less alongside Halo. And this isn't Super Smash Bros to excuse that. They're just too different, in almost everything.

I'd prefer franchises that have at least a bigger level of similarity with each other. Apples and oranges is better than apples and carrots.

Also, given the number of elements you mention for Halo....I get the impression you don't really know much of Halo.
