Every Legend of Zelda fan who is also a YouTuber remembers the cruel April Fool's joke pulled by IGN.com that was the
Zelda Movie Trailer. It was looking pretty good until you catch a glimpse of Ganondorf. Yeah, he's THAT bad. Anyway. After much disappointment and sadness, I still held hope that someone would take the plunge and make a Zelda movie. Than I heard rumors about
The Hero of Time. Naturally, I didn't get my hopes too high in fear of falling prey to yet another prank. I held my tongue, not wanting to raise others' hopes as well.
Today, many months after I caught wind of it, finally it appeared online. I stumbled across it on my beloved
Geekologie.com. I was beyond excited! Anyone who should take a shot at a Zelda movie should be die hard fans, and that's exactly what this is. I watched it immediately, and I must admit I'm impressed with the work and obvious dedication they put into this independent film.
If you're not convinced to give this movie a try, perhaps the trailer will convince you.
Looks good? Check out the whole movie via Dailymotion

What do you think of a fan-made movie? Do you think it's a good idea?

Its a great idea...but with a professional director... not these D-list actors, and much better effects. I saw this preview, and it just made me sad. Link should be played by a celebrity... have Cam Gigandet play him! And Zelda can be played by Diane Kruger. :D I should direct this movie lol
That looks really good for a fan-made movie, especially the decorations/props as well as the sets they used. The cinematography isn't the greatest, but it's still a good effort.
YAAAYY Geekologie :)
I remember hearing about the showing or something for this movie in New York back in September. I think it looks great for a fan-made movie.
Fuck! I'm using the slow computer! I'll rec to watch it when I get my mac back.
I love Zelda, but for a movie..?
Not sure if want..

I sure as hell wouldn't pay to see it but I would give it a shot.
Fucking awesome. Hahaha. Love the cheesy special effects.
But in reality - as much as I would love to see a game based on Legend of Zelda; I do not want to see it made out of Ocarina of Time.
Notwithstanding, it is my favorite game of all time - and it is certainly holding up well even against modern games in terms of story and replay and just...general brilliance. But think of how that would translate to a movie...it would HAVE to be broken up, and even then, it wont turn out good since its a dungeon based game.
It would be a shitty movie, really. The game is essentially a very large field, with large dungeons at the fringes. You spend OoT systematically entering, clearing, and looting the dungeons until you can finally get the ultimate-item (Master Sword), then find a way into the castle. On top of this, aside from Navi, you spend the game pretty much alone (as far as those dungeons goes.) - so while it would be cool to see young Link beating the big Dodongo, or Link facing Dark Link, it's a shallow premise for a movie and it wont do justice to the greatness of the series. The characters would be far too shallow.
If you ask me, they should create a whole new canon for a movie. Maybe, instead of focus on Link, fill in the (seven?) year gap that Link was in stasis after drawing the Master Sword...with Zelda and the Shiek story.
Jesus christ I'm a nerd. This is what I get for studying film and playing video games.
This looks weird...
But kind of cool.

But weird.
Wow! At the beginning, I wasn't too impressed but now I'm definitely going to see the movie! I'm already keeping in mind that it is fan-made and therefore it's not going to be as cool as a real one but wooowiee am I excited!
lol i'd watch it for the heck of it. like dbz.
Princess Zelda isn't doing it for me. The wig..
You can't and shouldn't make a Zelda movie. It just can't be done correctly.
