The Legend of Zelda movie trailer? (Warning, April Fool's)

Post Reply New Topic

They've just confirmed the prank:

Many cliches were in it too, like the whole "one word scenes". Why didn't they show the godesses of the Triforce?

I KNEW it was an April Fool.

I absolutely hate april fools day... this is worse than that prank Mugglenet.com pulled four years ago on all it's Harry Potter fan club members...

But still, parts of this trailer looked awesome. Maybe some desperate director will have an empty inspiration poll and will happen across this trailer and think "This is a good idea." You never know.

If they made a Zelda movie, they should cast Orlando Bloom as Link; he'd be perfect.

My brother and I were talking a little while ago about how there should be a Zelda movie. I'm sure it will get made someday.

That trailor looked expensive and time consuming. I don't think zelda would work as a movie. Lot's of games could have worked as movies, but look how most of those turned out. Zelda just wouldn't work. You look forward to all the cliches in even the most modern version, even Link being apparently silent most of the time. The music is the same, the motifs of the story, items, characters...ect. See it all works for the games, but a movie would be predictable and dumb.

Of course it was a joke, but it was fun nonetheless. Reminds me of fan movies for superhero comics that are shot like trailers.

I think I read about it somewhere on the WP forums, but it's been so long the thread has most likely been buried by now. There is a small group of people actually working to produce a Zelda movie, however it's very low budget and parts of it look pretty ridiculous.

Apparently it's an ongoing project despite the lack of updated information on the website. The forums seem to have a little bit of information.

If only the people who made the joke could connect with the people making a real movie to produce something truly spectacular.

I think that any plot should be about finding Zelda, then the Triforce, then finally taking Ganon and his cronies out. Personally, if Zelda is missing at the start and hiding from Ganondorf and his minions, I think that the best alter-ego would be an older form of Tetra.

I also think that, if the power of the Triforce of Power corrupted Ganondorf, why doesn't the other Triforce segments exert some sort of toll due to their use? The corrupting effects of power was very much an undertone in Twilight Princess.

I also think that Ganondorf should have Aganhim and the Twinrova sisters helping him.

You know, as cool as a Zelda movie would be - I think it'd have a lot of issues.

It MIGHT work as an anime - a live person dressed as link looks kinda foolish. North American film makes handling it, though, would make me unbelievably nervous.

It's because the majority of the games involve Link being alone in a dungeon for so long. I mean, movies are generally about the interactions and emotions and relationships of characters. If you really analyze the Zelda games, there is only one character.

Sure, you could make a movie where link solves puzzles, but it would be so incredibly hard to pull off well and would be done so much better as a video game than as a movie.

tldr; what makes zelda games good is not the story.
