Legend of Zelda (April Fools' Day) Movie Trailer Premiere

[FkmnMaster]

Why must you pull this joke on us!

[shaunwhiteisbeast]

When I figured out this was fake:😡💔😲😨😭😥 then my room looked like this:🔥

[TheMida4]

Make a troll face in the end. That'll be the perfect finish

[Jwr252002]

If you could make this you can make a mini series on YouTube please this is so awesome I wanna watch is so bad I could curse! And I've never cursed in my life!

[Blitzion214]

Find some random outfit in some random temple, put it on. Oh look, it's just my size!

I wish so much that this was real. Zelda should be a bit less pale, though.

[DarkAsylum316]

@Blitzion214

GTFO--Zelda=Awesome !!!

[ChocolateMilkLOL]

Erm... Is that s'pose to be Malon at the end?

[TheEgypt13]

the characters in this trailer are: Link, Rusl,Malon, ganon and zelda.

[TheEgypt13]

good but make ganondorf more realistic

[Sapphire14701]

@TheEgypt13 Yeah... i agree, i am a Ganondorf fan, perhaps if the beard was a little less... 'Bushy'? and if his face didn't look like plastic...

[TheEgypt13]

very realistic trailer...I WANNA WATCH THIS SO FREAKIN BAD!

[TheEgypt13]

WHERE THE HELL IS NAVI! WE WANT NAVI NAOUGH!

[LastManStanding128]

I hate that this is fake, but ive gotta give props for making an awesome trailer.

[XxcrazymuncherxX]

BUT WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[randomchicks1001]

WHY IS THIS NOT REAL!?!? :'(

ID KILL TO SEE THIS! <3LINK<3

DX

[Mastamats]

IGN we hate you forever for this

[zanila101]

This, was fucking awesome! I SWEAR TO GOD IF NINTENDO DOESNT MAKE A REAL ZELDA MOVIE BY 2014 I'M GONNA GO FUCKING CRAZY! i wuv zelda! :3

[The1upmushrooms]

Now why can't Hollywood make movies like these instead of all the garbage horror movies.

[YOMAMAISAMANWHORE]

I thought link had blond hair

[TheMuseFly]

Freaking EPIC!!!! Biggest budget April Fools Joke ever!!! I am well impressed with the effort for just a trailer...

Go to my channel to hear Zelda's Lullaby for more nostalgic goodness!

[hanner2499]

if they do soetime make zelda a movie they should get better costumes ad cast the people beeter lik looks in hs 30s he should be a teenager and have perople who look like the charaters play them.

[Obon444]

I so wish this wasn't a sick joke. I would totally go see this if it was a real moive. Hell I'd even see it more the once and buy it if it ever came out on DVD!

[LauraKillick]

Now I want there to be a Legend Of Zelda movieee ):

[Xtratix]

come check out my zelda remixes :]

[Driftyz5o]

this trailer looks pretty legit though lol

[forter6]

i would have watched it.

[sebastianjewojcik]

Too bad this us fake. This look like a good movie

[zelruiz99]

yo hammerfloyd, havent ya heard of twilight princess? u need to get out more

[HammerFloyd]

@zelruiz99 yes, i have. even if it was intended to be based off TP (i think its pretty safe to say they were going for ocarina of time) they'd have the story even more wrong. you'd think the "twilight" is a pretty big part of "twilight princess"......

[HammerFloyd]

Am I the only one who is seriously glad this wasn't real? It would KILL the legend of zelda as we know it. They didn't even get the story right! He's supposed to start off as a 10 year old in Kokiri Forest, not a teenager on a ranch. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are all ugly, and I REALLY hope the woman stroking Epona at 2:24 isn't supposed to be Malon......

[supersonickillerify]

they really need to make this movie

[jinx3772]

Why isn't this real?!?!?!?!

[ttbotko15]

Does anyone actually think a live action Zelda film would work???? I mean i'd love it but I wouldn't want to get all excited and then find out they ruined the material... I'd rather keep it the way it is to be honest...

[wfl19]

wo@ttbotko15 it all depends on the people working on it. like if they kept it to three short temples a bow and arrow and a sword and shield and good acting and good special effects it would be great

[ttbotko15]

@wfl19 Peter Jackson or Guillermo Del Toro? lol. that'd be amazing.

[tiger7210]

WANT. SO MUCH WANT.

[zeldii]

ich hätte auch ne tolle zelda abgegeben!!!

[Pixelfreak497]

wow, im glad this isn't real, it looks like shit

[evilglot]

I would easily pay 20$ for a ticket to watch this

[dendendeb999]

no really fu, i wish there would be a movie like this... y the no make legend of zelda movie?!

[dendendeb999]

does it have to be fake. dude this looks to epic, also its the legend of zelda. why you make this fake dude! FFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrXspace]

if IGN makes a pokemon trailer thats fake,I will kill them very slowly.

[KarlThePie]

how amazing would it be if this was actually made?

[MKStudios100]

hey were making a legend of zelda movie and we want ur ideas come check out our channel and write a comment with ur ideas ( oot tp ss or our own ideas )

[UnemployedYouth100]

why do you guys think this would be good? this movie looks like a complete joke. it would be a huge flop, an turn into a very bad movie. movies based off of a video game almost always suck. this movie would humiliate the legend of zelda series. i hope they never make a zelda movie.

[ibenez54]

@UnemployedYouth100 ur entitled to ur opinion, but don't bash other people, we r true zelda fans

[Pumpkin3844]

@UnemployedYouth100 I would trust Peter Jackson to make one. No other.

[THECRIMSONWARRIOR1]

michael jackson is in the movie? no disrespect

[1729GennyBrigid]

When my brother showed this to me, I freaked out and ran around my house screaming!  I was so happy! And then he told me it was an April fools joke, and I started crying! :'(

[Werewolfsfate]

am i the only one who learned that when the whole Legend of Zelda movie was a fake ran around screaming why the fuck would they put so much time into a fake trailer?

[Crackmandan]

@Werewolfsfate No dude I was doing the same thing. I hate IGN because of this. I hate to sound like a whiny little child but dude, you just don't play with people like that. Especialy huge fans that have been waiting for a real movie. It's just wrong.

[XxxXedvXxxX]

@Werewolfsfate cause all they do every single day is play videogames, they wanted some real live stuff for a change

[AshlynQi]

The only thing that looked horrible in this was Ganondorf, but if this had been a real trailer for a real movie? Epic.

[NintendoDSin3D]

zelda looks like a white girl with ffreckles

[pinipigbomb]

I doubt Nintendo is going to let anyone make another of their things into a movie after the idiots at Hollywood screwed up Super Mario Bros. (film)

[the0909090809]

man i hope they make this into a movie it looks so kool

[GudrunVD]

Peter Jackson should direct this movie.

Would make me drool rainbows for sure.

[georistian1826]

tht does not look like link

[Tube23287]

This was actually a good trailer. I know it was meant as a joke, but it's still good

[Zeldeh]

Zeldeh <333333333333

[KingKaleb30]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffffffffffffffffffffffffUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK you IGN!!!!!!! why???? :( i want this movie

[fourman64]

Malon looks so pretty!

[TheChickenFajitas]

its Hollywood as link .. righteous

[paulman1992]

fuckin Piccalo as Ganondorf

[linkblanch7]

they should make a zelda movie

[unorthodoxJ]

@linkblanch7 They should NOT make a Zelda movie

Video games as an art medium are completely different due to the relation of the audience. It would not translate well

[MelllieJoy]

@unorthodoxJ It would... if the whole movie was like that trailer...

[unorthodoxJ]

@MelllieJoy You sure? Take the fact that Link doesn't speak

Done in the trailer yes but it's an actual artistic method for video games, the idea is that forcing the character (you) to say things you may not say removes you from the character

When you play Zelda you're not watching Link, you are Link

[MelllieJoy]

@unorthodoxJ It could be done to have him say very little or none at all and still be good. It just takes fantastically creative minds that seldom exist. For example a guy wrote an entire graphic novel without using the letter "e". So Link may say little or nothing throughout the movie because there is no need for character development, but we just lack the creative minds to see it down well. We need another Shakespeare.

[unorthodoxJ]

@MelllieJoy Well yes I never said a film couldn't be done without Link speaking, and I suppose there's a slim chance it may be good, but it would lose the very meaning its done for in the video game and the film director would have to try and find another use for it

In general I'm against adapting this medium into film really. The second-person perspective that video games use doesn't translate well to other formats. If there's a Zelda story worth telling just make another game

[UnitedKoopaTroopas]

ok. so if this WAS a movie, the costumes quality effects... all perfect. all they would need to step this up from a 9.9 to a 10 would be a peffered actor for link. this ones okay... but there are people who would fit as link better

[elekid98]

WHY ISN'T THIS REEEAAAL D:

[palkiaspamer]

look at the Upload date fail

[Dropbla]

Fake?

[Spitfirefilmz]

Everyday:

1. *I wake up.*

2. *Go to Imdb.com*

3. *search "Legend of Zelda movie."*

4. "Nope."

5. *walk away.*

[JRRTolkienLOTR]

GODDAMNIT MAKE THE GODDAMN MOVIE ALREADY!! FOR THE SAKE OF THE GODDESSES JUST DO IT!!!

[spoderlads123]

@ChrisHunter12345 I would. Yes. Dialogue isn't really needed. I mean... Link adventures mostly by himself. He's not going to talk when he's fighting enemies. As long as there is enough action to make up for it. Remember that portal short film? Sure it wasn't a full length movie, but they still managed to make it work without the character talking.

[CSISpaceman16]

FOR THE LOVE OF THE NAYRU

WOULD NINTENDO JUST MAKE A GOD DAM ZELDA MOVIE CAUSE WE ZELDA FAN CANT TAKE IT NO MORE



[Wade23581]

Seriously, look up some "official" movie trailers from recent movies.

This Zelda trailer really is better than the trailers of the recent major hollywood movies.

[Wade23581]

Gahh...

I still can't get over this thing even after 4 years.

This would have been so awesome.

They should have had this trailer play at actual movie theatres among the "real" trailers.

Would of blown people's minds.

[jaime18529]

¬¬''

[Wade23581]

It suddenly occurs to me that the Ocarina of Time's Link is more powerful than most X-Men characters.

I mean, even without the broken equipment, you get the Naryu's Love spell, which makes him INVINCIBLE for like way too long...30 seconds or something. Then with the golden gloves he can lift a rock that must weigh 50 tons and throw it like it's nothing.

Then there's the whole "My sword is an infinite power source for the ultimate time machine" thing.

[Americk109]

@Macdragon36 He lives in small villages in every game where everybody knows each other by name. Pretty much like a country boy as much as I hate to say it.

[TheAppleAndPear1]

If this was the real trailer for a movie, wouldn't people have seen it in a preview or on a commercial? Come on, seriously. If u agree with me like this post. Anyways, this would make a kick ass movie. Enough said.

[MakeMeAwesomeSauce]

skrew april 1 THIS IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!

[sparkie1j]

zelda would make a shit movie

[spoderlads123]

Just... Come on. It would be completely worth it to make this movie! I mean... Who hasn't Played at least one Zelda game ( don't answer that)? Almost everyone would want to see it!

[ChrisHunter12345]

@spoderlads123

Would you really want to see a movie where the main character doesn't talk? And if he DID talk, fans everywhere would hate it because no voice will ever live up to expectations. Halo is definitely better suited for a movie (not saying that because I want a Halo movie over any other game movie, just saying that because IGN did a Halo trailer too).

[Wade23581]

@ChrisHunter12345

You know, I thought about this, and not much dialogue is actually needed from Link.

I mean, 90 percent of dialogue in Castaway is a guy talking to a basketball.

Meanwhile, in District 9, most of the dialogue is "fuuck" with his long "u" sound.

Dialogue isn't everything.

[madman101ish]

@Wade23581 link shouldn't talk unless it's appropriate. i e when someone talks to link he can give a response or in battle he can yell or grunt (like how it is in game). but if link talks non stop that would just be stupid

[Wade23581]

@madman101ish

I agree.

"Soldier" is an example of a movie that was "Ok" (not great,) and has very little dialogue from the main character.

[superskullkid]

@yoyozippy1 read the title fucking idiot

[Wade23581]

The sad thing is, this April Fools Joke actually looks BETTER than most of the real movies coming out of Hollywood today.

It would have been the best ever high fantasy movie with just the material they had to work with, even if they just pretty much stuck exactly to the Ocarina of Time script...

[yoyozippy1]

please somone is this a real film????

[MasterFrison]

Wow jaime trop



[linkandzeldafan]

this would make a great movie

[StormPegasus818]

WHY THE FUCK DOES LINK LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON WHEN HE WAS WHITE?!

[ynzboy]

Be kinda' tough if they made a movie where the Protagonist has no dialogue.

[mynameisblabla0]

hmm link resembles giovanni in the assassin's creed short movie

[Americk109]

I think Link would be the biggest challenge as far as characters go. Link never talks in the games, so what kind of personality could they give him without making fans of the game hate him? Also, how could they make his outfit not look cheesy in real life?

[Macdragon36]

@Americk109 How does everyone knows his name? Does he wear name tag?

[TheBaconprincess]

Yes I do realize that this is fake but if they did make the movie they should make Link look as smexy as he does in the game and he shouldnt get to say much if they did that than this trailer (other than the april fools in the title) would be so Legit

[HPbielmianto]

It would be a good movie if they change Zelda's actress and Link's actor. I just liked Ganondorf's one

[Comrad117]

The reason IGN made this is that they were trying to show everyone that it could be done. They were actually trying to make one but Nintendo wouldnt allow them to make it so thats why IGN made this trailer. I really wish they didnt though because when i saw this for the first time i literally shit myself

[Blizzardo1]

@Comrad117 I want this movie to happen. I would pay good money to see it in Theatres! :D IGN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[clawbytes]

There's a special place in hell reserved for IGN.

[Yceb0x]

@clawbytes XD Think about the bright side, if this was real, imagine how low budget, cheesy, and poorly made it would have been? (Judging from the quality only I mean! For a YouTube video this is awesome, for a professional, high-budget film it'd be pretty bad).

[dutchcastmultigaming]

@clawbytes theer a site wehateIGN if we got mroe then 40mil ppl that garee IGN will be put down

[dutchcastmultigaming]

@dutchcastmultigaming agree*

[TheKatyLady1]

@clawbytes Why?

[OcoryustheBold]

Maximum Trolling

[rockman146]

make a movie of zelda

[michaelcoolful]

It's a joke I thought it was a real movie

[salmrmusic]

@michaelcoolful not sure if question or statement...

[LorisetteAsher]

@michaelcoolful. it says april fools in the title dude. that should have been obvious. this movie need to happen. but one thing. fix links hair to blonde like its supposed to be.

[DMJack92]

Looked pretty good. I don't see why it was not actually made into a movie even though it was suppose to be an April Fool's joke. If my company had more budgeting, I would fund it myself.

[killingspeerx]

well i think that this will be better if it was 3D because i dont think that any1 would fit to be link beside when i did my Zelda manga i added to it Kid Icarus (Pit) because i thought that they fit in a story

so i will be disappointed if the movie was real live becasue i prefer it on 3D since the characters r more awsome to be acted by real ppl that may not fit XP

[dmont1107]

This april fools joke still makes me mad. Make it a movie already!!! 

[Thezeldagamegirl]

i would love there to be a movie of this if there was my life would be compleet

[sweetflake3]

@menagyfiu If you are as true a fan as you say you are. Then, you would see how this would be a bad idea. For instance; If this was made into a movie then it would have to be spot on w/ the game. Or at least the manga. (Which isn't that accurate to the game). Also, one hundred dollars? Do you have any idea how much it cost to make an actual movie?

[Rainleaf13]

Thank gawd this didn't become a movie. Because I can point out so many things that are wrong with this trailer...then again, if this was made into a movie, they probably would make everything wrong. Lol

[willow7110]

and no fairy or minda wtf

[willow7110]

ok 7 years they should look different *** damn it

[Dudeguy785]

People only like the trailer and think it should be real because it never was real, and is never going to be. This actually looks pretty bad, Ganondorf looks especially bad (and poorly acted). If this was ever actually made into an actual movie, then there would be riots on the streets...of the internet.

[TheAngryTroller]

The game sucks but the is epic.

[menagyfiu]

Also I HATE smosh it's making a big fat joke about the best thing in my short10 years of life!! I would pay 100dollars 2 see the movie if it were real

[TheAngryTroller]

@menagyfiu Loser.

[menagyfiu]

... I get all terie eyed every time I see that u know why... BECAUSE IT Ain't Real!! I am the worlds greatest Zelda fan ! People I know u think Link looks like mike jakson but get this, he is wearing a wig! And without the wig he has blonde straight wavy hair! Also why waste u money ! Zelda Zelda Zelda ! Who' s with me ? Say Zelda several times if u are

[Spottedshadow00]

Wow, if LoZ ever was made into a movie, I hope it wouldn't look anything like that. ;_;

[nellanovoag]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!­ POR QUE !!!??? :@

[8BitDeathKnight]

pfft smosh had better link,zelda, and ganadolf

[daredfoxchick889]

He looks more like Michael Jackson than Link.

[MrColeMcgrath]

If it's gotta be a movie, it'd be pretty hard to make dialogue with Link at all, cause if it's gonna be a legit Zelda movie, they better live up to the classics and make Link a mute like he always has, with the exception of grunts and yells also like in the games.

[drspencer120]

i hate yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooou

[bonnaXbeast]

woww they put all that effort into making a trailer thats fake! why not just have made the full movie :(

[TheXhiikeiizibanez]

What is the song?? 1:46

[Doctoroctogonapus56]

they could make link a little less weird looking

[XexofabiaN]

Leyend of zelda?

fuck that!

LEYEND OF LINK!

[Doctoroctogonapus56]

@XexofabiaN its legend* not leyend

[MrDudeie34]

@XexofabiaN hahahaha smosh rules

[Ashlleeyx3]

..and yet it looks so good.

[bamfkidz]

why can't this be for real!?



[TheGamehelper112]

PS HOMEEE



[150yemen]

about 4 million people fooled genius

[JessTrude]

I don't really want a Zelda movie.....Look at all the movies they have made based off games that have been terrible? I don't won't them to do that to Zelda as well. =/

[WNSD14]

@JessTrude That's the problem. We get people making movies based on games and anime that literally have NO CLUE what the characters are like. Meanwhile, you get an awesome trailer like this by IGN -- too bad they aren't going to be making no Zelda movie.

[gatomhtsos]

nice work for aprils fools joke :D

[MRtetri5]

i just finished the game, ocarina of time...

it may would be an series... where in every episode an dungeon would be completed...

MAKE ONE DAMMIT!!! THE FANS WHERE GETTING HELL-MAD

[TheLonelycheza]

This is the cruelest April fool's joke EVER. Can we please get a Zelda movie already?! Or at least a REALLY GOOD anime!?

[Salinear]

@TheLonelycheza Gather around children and listen. If they ever made a Zelda movie, it would be the biggest POS to have ever been produced. When will you realize hollywood has forgotten how to make movies. The Final Fantasy Movie? Star Wars: Episode 1-3? Yeah because Darth Vader crying is awesome. Resident Evil? Prince of Persia? Now tell me, do you REALLY want them making Zelda into a movie?

[mauiboy8705]

They worked this hard already, why not just finish it with a real movie?

[PixelRaid]

NOW PLEASE

[CosplayCrazy]

If they ever did make it a movie id be scared it would turn out like dragonballZ

[mhf2mhfu]

This would be an amazing movie is Gannon didn't look like a Fag and it followed the story line.

[300darkdragon]

I was fangirl screaming the whole time.

[truthordare102]

and make him left handed XD

[truthordare102]

They should make this a movie.... Just with a hotter Link and a hotter Zelda... and make Ganondorf more realistic. and Where is Navi? (plz go by the story line)

[Salinear]

@truthordare102 Oh and god forbid, if they ever make a zelda movie, and they put Navi into it... Its like Jar Jar all over again. BTW, thank god the Mario Bros. movie failed so hard that Nintendo will never let one of their IP's become a movie ever again.

[HatterCat2245]

is this like a revised version of OoT? O.o

but kinda mixed with TP?

if it is.....THEN WHY IS LINK RIGHT HANDED

[KGirl1337]

they should make a movie for twilight princess and skyward sword

[mrreatep911]

O.O

... to bad it may never be made as a real movie...

[khangaa]

Ive watched this 5 times.

Still hoping the date will change at the end :(

[ButtApplePie]

Put Ian from Smosh as Link :D

[YukaraTsubaru]

this would make a GREAT movie!! although, they would have to follow the game a bit more and... WHERE THE HELL IS NAVI!!!!!

[lilblu42]

Someone really needs to make a Legend Of Zelda movie, it'd be up there with Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, and Twilight in sales if done right. I know I would go see it. xD

[asainrsvideo]

I thought link and zelda was a bit more younger.....

[MrMonklad]

this was the worst april fools prank ever, i actually cried the first time i learned that.

[Nourkei]

OMFG HE CANT LOOK LIKE THAT! NOWHERE NEAR!

[darkraihunter21]

it would be awesome if this was real zelda is fucking hot and i would do her and the movie is awesome too

[3Triforce1]

Thumbs up if you think this would make the best movie ever!

[lolip0p2009]

if they make a movie of legend of zelda it'll sell more than twilight thats for sure -.- .. so make it you bitches that makes movies Dx<

[DANGERMARIO916]

The main reason this is fake: Link in the games is a lefty, *claps* you cant spell ignorant without IGN~!

[nuviacarbajal]

THE BEST/MEANEST APRIL FOOL JOKE EVER

[wizard101master4]

If this was true,It would of been in 160 videos.

[kargirl]

he characters made by smosh are way better
