Zelda: The Movie

April 2, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 15 comments

When I think that all of this has been made as an elaborate April Fool’s prank, I can only shake my head in disbelief at the lengths IGN went to to make everybody think that this was the real deal.

To be fair, people and companies have been pulling April Fool’s pranks on the Internet for so many years that they just aren’t fun anymore (this trailer notwithstanding, as it was awesome). I don’t believe half the stuff I read or see on April 1 anymore and write pretty much all of it off as a prank, so it always surprises me when people *do* fall for stunts like this!

As a result of this trailer, I predict that we’ll see a real Legend of Zelda movie announced within 2 years.

bad acting, the level of 3d skill or effort in the trailer is very low, storyline with potential.

When you say the storyline has potential, I hope you’re trolling.

Also, when I first heard about this movie I thought it was that indie Zelda film that some regular guys have been working on for several years.

It makes me cry that they aren’t actually making it a movie, it would be so awesome

Really? I don’t know if I can take a movie seriously that has a man running around in a Pajama hat.

To be fair, a studio called Rainfall Films worked on this for 3 months for IGN. Yes it was IGN’s brainchild, but they didn’t actually go to any lengths for the idea.

Would be s good idea for a movie – assuming they got a decent director (am still kinda scared about this watchmen movie they’ve just finished filming – nice bit of link bait
