  • this would be sick you just got to give it a chance. Nintendo doesnt fail when it comes to main console zelda games

  • But then again. It is Nintendo. Nintendo always would take new and farfetched ideas and interestingly make theme work so you never really know.

  • I really do hope that Zelda does not become completely technology driven though like in this theory. I am fine with a blend of both fantasy type middle aged settings as well as a bit of a mixture of machinery like Skyward but not 100% of the game should be in high tech areas. It is just not Zelda to me and would be a drastic contrast to what I know as a Nintendo fan who likes the series.

  • I think it might be heading in that direction since Majora's Mask. In Majora's Mask you had more advanced areas like water treatment facility of sorts. In Spirit Tracks you had trains and tanks as well as other machinery. In Skyward Sword there are timeshift stones in the desert region that alters the terrain to make parts of the region look like it did in the past and some of it was pretty advanced like floating mine carts, robots, and even a full fledged factory.

  • People who say that this would be a unique game haven't played Darksiders.

  • Well... that kind of happened in skyward sword with the timeshift stones....

  • i think s square and nintendo should work on a zelda game together. it would be interesting

  • I would NOT want to see a futuristic Zelda game. Period.  I thought Skyward Sword was pushing it with the Timeshift Stone stuff. I mean come on, rockets? Robots?

  • So THAT's why my best friend thought Zelda was switching to futuristic stuff...

  • Dude that would make for such a dark and interesting game..

  • Gotta be honest, though the idea would be unique, I would rather not see a futuristic Zelda game. THe reason being is that the old world charm that I've grown used to gives a magical feel to the series, where as with the future, where everything is all technological, it wouldn't be the same.

    (Yes, I know the vid is fake, just posting my oppinion.)

  • IT'S FAKE!! IT WAS AN APRIL FOOLS A LONG TIME AGO!!

    Thumbs up so the noobs know.

  • I THINK YOU LIKE ZELDA TOOOOOOO MUCH

  • This is aweful! The conceptual art is way off. This is supposed to be futuristic Hyrule not New York. I realize this is a prank but this game should and will be made eventually. This is not the way to do it. Hyrule is a completely different cultural with a different set of physical laws from earth on a different planet in another universe. Let the game developer treat it as such.

  • that just makes it look extremely stupid...thank god it didnt happen.

    

  • this game should be made and midna should come back and life would just be great and that would be AMAZING!!!!!!!!

  • damn, im surprised by these people on here, though nintendo should actually have made this game and not an april fools

  • I'd buy it

  • if this actually happens i may consider crying 

  • I could see a.. steampunkish future Zelda.. but this definitely looks fake

  • @BuzleBee Even if it were to turn into a futuristic setting, it would still have the mystery, the myths, and the great epic quests. Those are what make up a Zelda game. If it were to change its setting into a futuristic type style, it would still feel like a Zelda game if they kept the core game mechanics. Final Fantasy did that, and it still felt like Final Fantasy. Futuristic could work for Zelda because it's still fantasy, and Zelda has always been a fantasy game.

  • Zelda HD is a link to the future.

  • @Joshawotter No, it's not.

  • @ChildishHero Actually, yes it is. Of all Zelda titles it is the most modern and introduced far more features and mechanics than any other to date, though I'm sure Zelda HD will be generally the same.

  • If Nintendo were to develop a Zelda game set in the modern day to the distant future, it would be different but awesome!! ^_^

  • sounds fake

  • Very early in development and slated for a release in 2008? Seems a tad rushed. :P

  • I think they should try to make a futuristic zelda.

  • no way, this is all Star Wars stuff and other junk. I would know, I look up alot of star Wars stuff

  • @BA1Gang Ummm no, most of the pictures are concept art from final fantasy (the future ones) or some other series, not star wars, I should know, I'm a die hard star wars fan.

  • oh come on, people. miyamoto would never make something like that with zelda....

  • Wow they are not selling that fish at all. Not convincing whatsoever, even for a half-assed joke.

  • this could have been cool

  • lolz I remember that. That was one sick, twisted joke. Zelda sales would have dropped dramatically if a game like that was ever released.

  • @runemaster509

    i dunno, man, a futuristic setting could work. i for one wold love to see if the legacy of the hero of time could be brought to the future.

  • This was an April Fool's joke.

    NOTHING MORE.

  • @RussellThePumpkin

    yeah, well i wish it wasn't a joke. this sounds like a doable idea

  • @chimera5x2 Zelda doesn't need to change from it's fantasy setting. The real thing lacking in recent releases is an original storyline. They've all been variations of the "save the princess" theme. I'd like the next Zelda to take me on a new adventure, just like Majora's Mask did back in 2000.

  • @RussellThePumpkin

    and your saying future cant be fantasy? i never knew Zelda fans could be so closed-minded (lol jk). but seriously, anywhere and anywhen can be a fantasy setting if done right.

  • @chimera5x2 This is cyberpunk - not fantasy.

  • @RussellThePumpkin ... youre saying magic cant exist in cyberpunk? we cant mix man-made technological advances with the mystical powers that be?

    this is Hyrule were talking about. if an ancient ROBOT operated dig site mining stones that alter time can exist, then i'm pretty sure anything's possible

  • @chimera5x2 That is the point I am making, yes. Magic cannot exist in a purely cyberpunk world like the one being presented here. Elements from both fantasy and cyberpunk can coexist in a game, but that game would no longer be pure fantasy or pure cyberpunk - it would be something else entirely.

  • Lol people are still arguing about this *sigh*

  • It might be being made for the Wii U.

  • @deadcarpet Lol it was an April fools joke...

  • A game like this would be awesome. I'd definately play it.

  • I think a future Zelda game would be fucking AWESOME.

  • Hehoha, I like this this prank, it's well made and I almost fell for it when I first saw it. And it would be awesome to have Link in a futuristic setting, but it would ruin the whole series. I still give respect to these guys who probably sacrifized a lot of time for making this.

  • I really hope that Nintendo don't decide to actually do something like this. Personally, I'm hoping for another continuity reboot, as there hasn't been one in the main series in bloody ages. Ocarina of Time has 5 sequels and it's about to get a prequel, so I really think that version of Hyrule has had enough attention.

  • @transform5656 i don't think it would be a reboot. the Zelda games tend the jump a little forward or backward in the canon tmeline. it's never the same Link, so this wouldn't harm the established canon.

  • Hoax. ;3

  • lol some people are so gullible.

  • @Link3200: You must be ridiculous for even mentioning that game. I'm sorry, but nothing will ever be like that, did you even play that at all, cause I'm pretty sure you didn't, because if you did you'd know that it was never an official Zelda game, you couldn't even call it a game really, it was more like a storybook video. It was produced by sony, which it why it sucked. Now, if this futuristic one was to be made it would be nothing like the CDi games, and more like Twilight Princess.

  • Even if it was a joke, which I highly doubt that it was, considering it was supposed to be a secret project that they were working on, one of which would take alot longer than some would say. Designs like this wouldn't be out there if they weren't planning on doing it eventually. However, if it was, its still can be something to be taken serious if someone tries to insult and attack the idea of it before it has a chance to flourish. Like I said before, you can't stay in one place, move on.

  • @jetwhiskey47 A prank by a gaming website showed a Legend of Zelda game set in the future. It stated that there would be guns, hover cars, and a motorcycle called Epona. They said the Master Sword would be redesigned to look more futuristic for gaming purposes. After hearing Shigeru Miyamoto's declaration that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess would be the last Zelda of its kind, the debate did not die down even when it was revealed to be an April Fool's Joke.

  • @HoolsSteam Well, hoax or not, it still doesn't change the fact that a game like this would work out for Zelda, and that there is still the possibility of them already looking into something like this. It has alot of potential in it to become a great addition to the series, and I for one wouldn't mind playing something like that.

  • @jetwhiskey47 in addition: The preview's images consists of early sketches for Final Fantasy VII, some concept designs for the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and the voices of two of Wii.tv's contributors.

  • after 200 games of Zelda being the same but with different instrument to play

    they really need to do something really different i mean since wind waker everything has been the same

  • Trying to follow the same futuristic look as Final Fantasy. FAIL!

  • @TheNewEmphinix That's absurd, Final Fantasy's look is no where near this one. Both may be futuristic, but they each are very different in style. Besides, what do you have against FF? It's series was a great set of games, and even had a couple great movies, so if anything, I'd say it'd be a plus if they were to take that idea, but guess what, they didn't, they just looked to try something new, something that gamers like me have waited to try out.

  • @TheNewEmphinix @jetwhiskey47 Half of the pictures for this hoax preview where from early concept design from final fantasy 7, and some from Staw wars concept design.

  • I hope they dont make this game cuz its just gonna b another Zelda game like the games in Philip CDi.

  • @ jetwhiskey47: Its an April Fool's joke...

    But idk, it might work out.

  • I think this would be a cool game, but I don't know if it would work under the Zelda name.

  • Stop looking at the glass as half empty or hal full, and start thinking that the glass is completely full, cus if you think about it, the glass wud have both water and air in it, if you didn't already realize that, then you've been thinking and living inside of a box for too long. Accept change, because its just like the saying "While things are always changing, some things seem to stay the same", so like I said, keep the gameplay, just change the scenery, and I promise you'll learn to like it.

  • @jetwhiskey47

    Wow, you're about 4½ years behind. This was an April Fool's joke from 2007. I'm not saying that an idea like this is bad, but you're jumping the gun just a tiny bit. Calm down, have a Dr. Pepper, and chill the hell out.

    It was supposed to be a joke. That means you're supposed to laugh and not take it seriously.

  • Most REAL Zelda fans would agree with me, that if the design and structure of how you play were to stay the same, then all the new futuristic stuff could work out quite well. Think about it, instead of a bow you'd have a gun that works in almost the same way. Or how about all the crazy mechanics in the dungeons, if you really look at it mechanisms have been in every single game because when you hit something or do something special, it opens a door or changes a room around which this wud have...

  • I Don't get it, wtf is wrong with you ppl, how many of you live inside a damn box? Excuse me, but where do you get off saying that it wouldn't work, last time I checked, Legends happen all through time, and it said it WOULD have swords, so get over the bullshit, and try something new for a change. I am one of the biggest Zelda fans ever, and if I say that this could work out, if done right, then most likely it will. Zelda fans like confusing dungeons, and strange equipment....

  • @jetwhiskey47 You know this is a fake trailer, right?

  • Although It WOULD be kinda cool to have a futuristic zelda game,tbh I think it would be rather odd for nintendo to make it,I know Zelda belongs to Nintendo,but what if a 3rd Party Developer made it? It kinda would make more sense,as long as it has really fucked up weird laser weapons,still have sword based type weapons and other futuristic style medieval weapons and not actual guns,then I think it can make it through,kinda like how Avatar TLA is compared to Legend of Korra

  • I am glad this is a hoax because i freaking hate the Final Fantasy series and do not want Zelda to become like it

  • i dont get why people wouldnet like this...its seems realy cool..Zelda mix with the future..id imigen it being the same but a future version.but i do like futureistic stuff so maby thts why i think this would b epic.

  • all id like to say is that THIS COULD WORK. but it is gonna super easy to fuck up

  • @wondernerd2 no it couldnt work you downsyndrome flea biting hyena from the underbelly of the african planes .

  • you gotta be freaking kidding me........

  • please dont make this. The Legend of Zelda must have things like swords, boomerangs, and ridiculously confusing dungeons. It should not have sports cars, machine guns, and ridiculously confusing computer rooms.

  • @L4D2Hunter25 It was a joke years ago dont worry (;

  • this would suck

  • this looks like advent children

  • I am really glad this was a fake. Zelda games fit better in the past. Making a Future Zelda would ruin it all.

  • fake or real, canceled or moved to a different time to make I am still making a fan film based of this.

  • i hope this game never comes true

  • Its fun to look back on this now that we know skyward sword is the next title. Back when I first saw this I thought it was real but people disproved this in the comments. Although its fake I don't think it would be that bad of an idea as long and all the characters are there and you still use a sword.

  • its 2011 you said it would come in 2008! WHERE THE FRIGG IS IT???

  • @yeoldpepsi It's obviously fake, dude.

  • It'd split opinion but I'd still love a futuristic zelda.

  • one game is as far as i'll go

  • Man I wish this was coming out nop we get skydick sword

  • Why Sonic's music at the start? :3

  • If this was real, I wouldn't play it. I like Hyrule the way it is.

  • i don't know they're already coming out with two new zelda games & this was made in 2008 not that it wouldn't be awesome but i seriously doubt this is real

  • A game like this would be so cool. Link doesn't have to use a gun. And the essentials of zelda could still work with a game like this. Futuristic doesn't equal shooter

  • @ALinkToTheFuture95 well maybe to replace the bow and arrow since they would be completely useless

  • I don't care what people think, this would be EPIC.

  • This actually looks pretty kewl, but not as a Zelda game XD

  • this would be the worst legend of zelda game ever!

  • one word says it all !!!"FAKE"!!!

  • People considering this real? Still? Wow.

  • isn't from this idea was how zelda twilight was made and i would like to see u future zelda idk i sound cool through and im a zelda fan

  • if zelda became futuristic things would be bad ii love it the way it is

  • WTF they were talking about this n 2008, and nothing happened!!! well they made skyward sword an remade The Orcarina of time for the 3DS but yea!..... sad face! :(

  • fail

  • The car is Epona :)

  • epic fail!

  • This is a joke! hahahahaahaha!....if its not, im not longer a zelda fan...

  • Best April fools joke

  • i think zelda is better in past

    

  • This is needed to keep the Zelda franchise to keep going, how much longer can the franchise survive with the Ocarina like skin on the core Zelda gameplay. People sooner or later will get tired of the same basic game, we need something like this to keep the franchise alive

  • This is Blasphemous to the Hylian Gods.... EVIL!

  • what a load of balls...... zelda will never be like that....... and if it does, im not playing it anymore.

  • This looks as bad as Star Wars Episode 3

  • this looks awesome. ganondorf could look like azul the cerulean and zant could look like chaos. they should also have a dark link that looks like kadaj.

  • You know what, if they did this, I'd be ok with it

  • If Zelda can have magical cutesy choo choo trains and a game that takes place in the sky then I think Zelda going sci-fi is a very mild case of "wtf?" compared to what's shown up in the series.

  • AHAHAHAHA Gannon-banned.

  • 2:05 halo reach

  • 2008. buddy, your short 3 years. were is it?

  • this would be a good game i am a big zelda fan but the story gets so fucking gay win a game fills the same over and over like alttp oot ww tp are the same game just new look and a new fill go to 3 temples fight the boss then go to get the master sword do 4 to 6 more temples and fight gandorf ): and i know skyward sword will be the same ): that sucks

  • ...I would want this... Totally. I'm such a Zelda fan... if they made a shitty game I would still buy it cause I'd still love it. :3

  • @TheGamerOfTheYear it's fake

  • @MultiFamguy yeah.. I know. XD I'm just sayin, if it was real. I'd still buy it.

  • I fucking want it QQ

  • Sounds like a cool idea, but this is definitely, 100% sure, fake.

    Zelda with guns could work out, Nintendo would just need to fix the camera controls/aiming.

  • what shit is this? ratchet & clank?

  • @CookiCompany halo reach and crysis 2

  • @superspiderman1 febuary not may my bad

  • Everyone saying it's fake yes it is but they didn't know this from may 2008 this was a simple case of misinformation sigh too bad new eponia looked like a beast of a cycle haha hope nintendo is moving in this direction it would be a very refreshing creative twist

  • Final Fantasy VII: The Legend of Zelda

  • this guy sounds like mandark, lol

  • 2008 release guys

  • i wish this was true i am a big zelda fan but it is be coming like halo way to repadid

  • Sigh...if only...

  • they took away link's horse and i don't think that it was a good idea to take away link's horse because in all most every legend of zelda game, now keep in mind i did not say all the legend of zelda game i just said most of the legend of zelda game link had a horse but i didn't know may be this game might do ok who knows i will just have to wait and see how well the game is

  • @mjd334

    this is an april fools prank

  • this is from 2008 so its fake

  • o please god no

  • 192... haters gonna hate

  • This will most likely never happen. A large part of zelda is its 1400's feel with the castles and villages and stuff. However, Link is the Hero of Time. Each game IS connected in one way or another, with the exception of an elite few, which probably still are but it is and likely will remain a mystery where they "link" in. (PUN).

    Anyways, It is theoretically possible for the legend to extend into a futuristic landscape. However, I rather doubt this.

  • Although this idea is absolutely terrible, does anybody else see how this could end up colliding with the star wars saga? i mean, it's really not that hard to believe. i'm not a huge fan of star wars, but thinking of modernized zelda just leads to star wars for me.

  • This is the most terrible idea ever.

  • zelda wouldnt be zeldaa without swords bombs and boomerangs

  • @MrGodzillanerd grenades, light sabers, and boomerangs

  • I could see this happening one day when they need a revamp...which will probably not happen in a long ass time.

    Plus, this was really fake because you don't hear someone being translated! lol

  • this to put it nicelt is bull!!

  • This is probably part of the Valley of the Flood rumor that went off a long time ago. Awesome thoughts, but I don't think so. If you thought this was real, you've got no faith in Nintendo, and I can't blame you, but at least know that Miyamoto would never do this to his favorite character. (Argue all you want. The fact that he's not milking Link for all he's worth is proof Link is one of his favorites, and I believe Link is his number one. You never know. Resembles him as a boy, after all.

  • @ugxsan especially since we now know that it is called skyward sword and the new trailers show nothing futuristic

  • It would be cool if they did something like this, like the hero is FROM the future but the sages call apon him to go back to the past to help save them.

  • this one is cooler then the one they made

  • Is it wrong of me to like this? Because I'd love a Zelda game like this, I like the whole futuristic approach to it. Better than the trife they have working on Skyward Sword. Not liking how colourful the Zelda games are getting :/

    lol picky me.

  • I wouldn't have a problem with this as long as they promise another LoZ that is more traditional styled to be released around the same time. maybe Nintendo could allow another company, like square enix, to work on it for a bit, just as an experiment, and if it looks like something not completely half assed and actually looks like alot of fun to play, then they could carry it out.

  • hmmm whoever knew Midgar was in Hyrule!

  • Pfftt a game like this would've been awesome. sheesh why not let Nintendo experiment with the Legend of Zelda a bit?

  • I wish its a fuckin bad joke.

  • This is a game I have always dreamed of to play. Too bad it will never happen, officially. Gotta wait for someone to fan-make the game.

  • well to me this would be the ultimate distruction of zelda, why well guns in zelda...... that would not fit, zelda has always been a game with magic the triforce and swords. this would ruïn that, I would NOT accept this as a zelda game. the only thing i'd like is that link get's a light saber

  • @YoshiTheGreenOne

    ultimate destruction of Zelda? i think that already happened with the three CD-I games fans dub "the unholy triforce"

  • @chimera5x2 those games never got accepted as a zelda game nor do I

  • skyward sword would be waaay better looking if it was like this and not artooney bull shit

  • I actually think it would be an interesting take.

    Zelda meets Star Wars kind of thing....why not?

  • I saw this artwork like 5 years ago. It's very well done, but I doubt it'll ever be incorporated into an official game.

  • i think that if you made zelda drag to the future, you'd just end up with final fantasy, a mix of science and magic

  • this would suck it wouldnt be zelda it would be stupid

  • it would be cool i they did it

  • may the triforce be with you

  • @zachIQ IKR? That city looks kind of like Coruscant ._.

  • @NeoGamemaster because it is. the images used were raw early footage of the star wars prequels.

  • If they were to make this game, why don't you just take out all of the items and the Master Sword? Just give him a lightsaber!!! Why not Yoda, put him in there too.

    "Strong with the force you are, young Link."

    Stupid game.

  • obvious mistake

    "...looking for a 2008 release..."+"...been working on it for a year now."-modern video games take more than two years to make, even if everything goes perfectly.

    btw.......to all who think this is real, please stop, it is fake. Zelda Wii is The Legend of Ze;da: Skyward Sword

  • a game like this would be all rite .......its diffrent 0_0

  • I just want to say...if Nintendo puts guns in Zelda...I'm opening a can of woop ass on Nintendo.
