Frozen is a Video Game Theory

So in my recent fanfiction, Breaking the Ice, I portrayed Arendelle as a new video game in Litwak's Family Fun Center as my way of explaining how the worlds of Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph could be connected. The reason I did so is because I was thinking about it recently and found that there are several factors that imply that the setting of Frozen takes place in a video game. Be warned that there are spoilers for both movies ahead, so proceed with caution.

1. Anna, Sven, and Kristoff surviving the fall off the cliff, implying that they live in a world without fall damage like our's. Similarly, in Sugar Rush, Ralph survived falling onto Vanellope's car from the top of a volcano, and the Sugar Racers survive their cars falling into valleys and other trenches with no ill effect.
2. The sudden cold weather seems to have no impact upon the health or well-being of any of the citizens of Arendelle. Perhaps this is because they are NPCs that lack health to lose, since most video game programmers don't give health to anything that isn't designed to lose or gain it.
3. Based on him putting out the candle with his fingers, Hans is seemingly immune to fire. Fire is often not too devastating to many video game characters, and is even wielded as a weapon by certain characters, such as many Mario characters or the Pyro. This also goes along with the popular head-canon that Hans (or Anna) has fire powers to contrast Elsa's ice powers.
4. The designs of the characters seem to have a style slightly resembling Nintendo characters, with the big heads and big eyes (so much so that people often mistake Elsa and Rosalina for each other).
5. Elsa is able to remove all the snow and ice from Arendelle with seemingly no effects on the vegetation, the animal population, or the human population, despite the fact such a sudden and large drop in temperature would be quite devastating to all three. To me, this implies something similar to the end of Wreck-It Ralph, where Vanellope crossing the Finish Line caused the game to reset and fixed everything the Cybugs destroyed.

So now you know why I made Arendelle into a video game in Breaking the Ice instead of using one of the existing Frozen video games to justify Ralph's game-jumping as a way of meeting Elsa. I'm not saying that it's guaranteed that it takes place in a video game, but until/unless it is officially deconfirmed, I shall continue to believe that Arendelle is just another video game world like Niceland, Hyrule, and the Mushroom Kingdom.

lol are you serious? Really? 
1. They survive the fall because they land in soft snow. 
2. The cold weather is shown to affect everyone in Frozen. Obviously there's no focus on the background characters, but we see them huddled in blankets and quiet cold. 
3. Anyone can do that. ANYONE. While it's not the safest way to put out a candle people have snuffed candles out with their fingers as long as candles have been around. 

I have no problem with your crossover idea or having Frozen be a video game world, but those 3 reasons are all completely ridiculous.
