- dimitrius14, on 04/01/2008, -4/+972That's got to be the most expensive April Fools Day joke ever.
- gametavern, on 04/01/2008, -3/+410Wow, best effort for April fools ever. Special Effects were awesome, cinematography was awesome... costumes were...wait.
- Braingoo, on 04/01/2008, -7/+404I mean as a movie it could be better, as an april fools joke. How the hell do you top that.
- Steven8890, on 04/01/2008, -15/+327Oh damn, I've been had. Happy April Fool's Day everyone.
- FortyCaliber, on 04/01/2008, -11/+292Linkrolled?
- picosan, on 04/01/2008, -4/+284Sometimes I hate April Fool's Day...
- jingwei, on 04/01/2008, -3/+275halfway through I was afraid this was going to be another rickroll.
- Tylia, on 04/01/2008, -2/+210i would have so pirated this movie.
- samus1225, on 04/01/2008, -9/+215it's an april fools, joke. the ending, however, where it says "legend of zelda" is amazing. they can use that for the real movie if it ever gets made
- katagana, on 04/01/2008, -5/+194Yeah it looks a lot like an quite elaborate April Fools joke, great job!
- theragu40, on 04/01/2008, -5/+149I would watch this.
- slinky317, on 04/01/2008, -11/+150Obviously fake... he's not left-handed.
- NCSUspoon, on 04/01/2008, -0/+125Kind of high production value for an April Fool's day joke
- Diderotten, on 04/01/2008, -9/+126If I digg something up, it appears as sigma notation or other wierd symbols. April fool's day affected everyone!
- Gandhi125, on 04/01/2008, -8/+105anyone else notice that in this trailer link ISN'T left handed?
disappointing . . . lol - lucidapathy, on 04/01/2008, -4/+93So you wanted to be first and second?
- rspeed, on 04/01/2008, -0/+88Serial killer of pottery and tall grasses.
- Kautylia, on 04/01/2008, -12/+87It was so poorly done. But yet, I want it to be real so much.
- king3vbo, on 04/01/2008, -1/+76Dammit, I wish this was real
- lordno, on 04/01/2008, -0/+70I hope so. Link looks like a serial killer.
- Gonasadude, on 04/01/2008, -8/+72Even though it's April Fools, I think I just came.
- Steven8890, on 04/01/2008, -2/+66I know that now, I am a fool. Crazy production values for a joke though.
- sinisterbob, on 04/01/2008, -2/+61They should make this.
- thewrathoffluff, on 04/01/2008, -0/+54And what's even better is that Link didn't say a word, just like the games.
- MakinBacon, on 04/01/2008, -0/+48Not really. A small production company specializing in music videos and shorts did it as a portfolio piece ( http://www.rainfallfilms.com/projects/zelda/ ). I'm sure they could have pulled it off for a few thousand dollars. IGN saw it and decided to use it as an April Fool's joke. Rainfall Films agreed because of the publicity their company would get.
- arancarlisle, on 04/01/2008, -1/+46What I loved most of all was the soundtrack and Ganondorf.
- EagleEyesMcDigg, on 04/01/2008, -2/+46CURSES, FOILED AGAIN!
- LongShlong, on 04/01/2008, -9/+53However, the biggest tip-off was still the crappy quality. For a moment, I thought it was for real and almost slipped into a rage-induced coma because I wasn't able to handle how badly this would have made the Zelda franchise seem.
- CobaltBlue, on 04/01/2008, -2/+43I was trying to figure out the difference between a left handed hyperlink and a right handed hyperlink for a second after reading your comment.
- DaManDOH, on 04/01/2008, -1/+42I'm not so sure this hoax trailer's all that poorly done. As of this post, I've only watched vid at work (i.e. no sound). Admittedly, never did I think to myself anything beyond "fan film," but as fan films go, it's got some decent production value.
We'll see how it holds up when I get to hear the performances. It just might lose something. - thrikulam, on 04/01/2008, -2/+42Did you really just triple-post?
- thewrathoffluff, on 04/01/2008, -0/+40I suppose that's a good thing. Link and Zelda were nowhere near attractive, and Gannon didn't look enough like a badass.
- Diderotten, on 04/01/2008, -1/+36weird, not wierd. Internet, not everyone. Correcting myself before eagle eyes mcdigg gets a chance.

These gifs have been around for weeks. This isn't an April Fool's prank.
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1181615/ - xaxxon, on 04/01/2008, -0/+33And if you had IMDb PRO, you'd know that movie has nothing to do with the Legend of Zelda. It's about some jazz stuff.
- montecas, on 04/01/2008, -2/+34I expected to be Rick Roll'd
- Baku, on 04/01/2008, -0/+31ZOMGPONIES! Ahh April Fools gets old fast... :/
- Rodalli, on 04/01/2008, -0/+30I think most of us would have to watch it on principle alone
- Radan, on 04/01/2008, -0/+30The only thing I kept thinking when I was watching this was "if this was real, this would be the first video game movie which ACTUALLY somewhat followed the lore of the game its based on."
If this actually became a fan made movie (see Star Wreck), I would seriously buy the DVD. - SiliconRain, on 04/01/2008, -0/+28Poorly done? Are you having a giraffe? If it's an amateur effort, it's a ***** master-piece. Sound, special effects, make-up, costume. That ***** isn't easy to do and it looks amazing.
- Mejari, on 04/01/2008, -1/+29Possibly the IGN logo on the credits screen? Unless they're suddenly a production company.
- Conrey, on 04/01/2008, -6/+34fake, but very high quality for it
- skeletorcares, on 04/01/2008, -1/+27Looks like a cosplay convention at a local Marriott
- directrix13, on 04/01/2008, -0/+26Yeah, same experience here. I thought they put a lot into what amounts to little more than an April Fool's joke. Kudos to IGN. I really hope there is a Zelda movie in the future though.
- rilus, on 04/01/2008, -1/+26I know exactly what you mean.. I knew it was fake but watching it made me tear up a bit thinking how awesome it would be to see it all in a live action movie.
- chubbstar, on 04/01/2008, -2/+27they both sucked so im diggin both down.
- KaiUno, on 04/01/2008, -1/+26Tri(force)fecta?
- all_about_the_D, on 04/01/2008, -1/+26that's because someone was controlling him with the wiimote
- Tizzikins, on 04/01/2008, -10/+35OMG. Lmfao! Definitely my fave April Fool's joke. Oh the cheesiness alone.... you cannot beat that cheese.
- Psythik, on 04/01/2008, -1/+24Hell yeah -- I kinda wish this wasn't a joke.
