Just finished Super Metroid with my son what next?

Update: We have decided to go with Link to the Past. It is a slight change of pace and less dark but we are enjoying it!

Thanks for the suggestions, after Zelda I will return to this post again for more recommendations! There were some real bangers in here, and some of the child-friendly suggestions like Goof Troop seem like awesome gems too👍👍

What's another epic and action rich game we can play? I know Super Metroid sets the bar pretty high. Unfortunately he's 7 and not super interested in Final Fantasy right now, I thought FF3 would be a great choice but he liked the action of Metroid. As far as turn based games go he's more of a Pokemon guy. And he loves reeading books. But as far as games go he's not quite there yet in terms of reading through tons of dialog boxes. Suggestions plz!
