[EDITOR'S NOTE: April 2, 2008 - 12:01 a.m. PST. Yup, you guessed it. The Legend of Zelda trailer featured above is part of an elaborate April Fool's Day prank. Check back in later today for more details on the IGN/Rainfall Films collaboration that resulted in this "love it or hate it" piece of videogame movie history.]
Can a moderator of both forums or an administrator merge the two topics? 😛
I didn't check any dates.
April fools didn't even cross my mind since it seemed so well done.
Nice
Yeah...it was really well done, other than the characters of Link and Ganondorf. I would totally go see it.
I really like the part when he was putting on the armour and tunic. The little jingle made it feel so real. It looked fake when it came to him fighting such obvious computer generated monsters. But still very well done. Except the Link looked fugly as hell and so did Ganondorf.

Yeah, that was pretty cool...minus the hat.
If there is ever really a Zelda movie, I have no clue how they are going to pull off the hat.
Forgive me if these things have been said, I've not read this thread...
Cheese set aside, I thought it was a very well done trailer. GJ to who ever put it together. It's about as close to the game as you can get...Link doesn't speak. 😊
Anyone watch the "Making of" video for it? Looks like it cost them a LOT of money for a prank. Plus they have a couple relatively well-known actors in there.
I knew it was an April Fool's joke immediately, but it was still really fun to watch. They did a good job on it. If they were to make a real movie though, I don't think they should follow a story from one of the games so closely like the trailer did with Ocarina of Time.

Where can I find that video? (Yeah, I'm too lazy to look.)
You must be extremely lazy. The link is right underneath the trailer(In the movie selections box on the right).
That was pretty cool. I wish they'd release everything they filmed that didn't make it into the trailer. Or better yet, they actually make the movie. =D
It is a shame they cut out so much footage. And, jeez, I thought Ganondorf and Impa were CG. The making-of clearly showed me that they were real.
