Wait, the YouTube username is the same as the sifter's. Possible self-link, though without ill intentions, I'd surmise. *discuss

Well, I think that stayinalf probably just hosted it after he saw it on IGN, and realized he couldn't post from there.

I tried to submit this embedded, but it thinks it is a dupe of http://www.videosift.com/video/Great-Song-by-Gunther ... What the heck, guys?

Sorry, but no self linking Stayinalf. Change your embed to one of he many other copies of this on youtube and you should be fine.

This is why i hate april fools day cause they tease us gamers with shit like this, though elaborate and nicely done dont toy with my heart like this. Its like last year when Blizzard released in game nicely done pics of World of Starcraft then totally denied the whole thing.

Yeah, I agree, that's actually really well-made and convincing. Why the Terrible, wtf tags?

Geebus, what was the budget on that?

More than just an April fools, they've made a nice bit of viral marketing for themselves there, and maybe create a push for a real movie?

(coming from someone who has never, ever played a Zelda game)

I support a recall of the terrible tag.

Fjnbk: good catch on the self-linking, quite observant!
Jordass: I agree. It is toying with our hearts - but who knows what may arise - such movements have gotten the Family Guy back on TV. Mind you I wouldn't mind a full-length movie following this type of theme!

You all call yourselves gamers?

Someone actually is making a Zelda movie - low key and low budget, but I want to see it nonetheless.

Jordass (http://www.videosift.com/member/Jordass) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:54:38 -0700

Yeah but thats a fan movie, thats like saying http://www.videosift.com/video/Batman-dead-end-Batman-vs-Alien-vs-Predator is the follow up to the others. Though it was pretty badass i mean come on how could you go wrong. And WTF Spoco2 you have never played one of the 102,284.2 Zelda games out there? Please tell me that in itself is as April Fools joke, that I have fallen into some strange Bizzaro Twilight Zone where the diabolic plots of Ganon and the adventures of Link are not known.

great production quality considering it is a joke I was impressed.

I put it in the Terrible and WTF categories because Ganondorf looks totally goofy in this trailer. The other characters actually look believable.

that elf looked like some whore in a funky outfit actually.. the one fighting.

Descent production values, but they also choose scenes that are actually pretty easy to merge in with live action. Also not much of a story was hinted at. They should have worked on more and better lines to go along with it. why is voice acting so hard?

Eh, I'd say it looks pretty terrible. That's not to say that they couldn't make a good movie out of Zelda.

I hope this was an April Fools joke because it looks like it would suck.
