I mean, I would presume that if either Zelda or Metroid were based fairly closely off of the games, it would be rather possible for them to remain animated. I think what's more important is that each franchise is built around its own unique tone that is fitting for said franchise. With what people like and expect for Metroid for example, making it feel like a light and humorous Illumination/Pixar-type movie won't work.

Zelda, Metroid, and Star Fox also could be done in a number of ways, including a more serious, big-budget live-action movie or TV form. Franchises like Donkey Kong or Kirby are a bit less adaptable in my opinion.
