You've seen God of War. You've watched Inglourious Plummers more times than you'd readily admit. Now find out where it really all began with this recently discovered hidden gem from 1987.

In this charming critically-acclaimed tale of first love, Link (Jon Tomlinson), an eternal optimist and adventurer, seeks to capture the heart of Zelda, an unattainable high school beauty and straight-A student (Zane Bauer). He surprises just about everyone-including himself-when she returns the sentiment. But the high school's over-possessive, megalomaniacal Principal Ganondorf (Dominic Moschitti) doesn't approve and it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.

Perfectly capturing the essence of what it means to be a teenager in the 80s, Nick Murphy, Mike Sadorf, and Dom Moschitti reimagine one of the most celebrated video game franchises of all time with the heart, charm, and wit that only they could. It's the legend of high school. It's the legend of love. It's The Legend of Zelda.

GOD DAMMIT! I can't find the original trailer that you based yours off of :(

Can someone send me a link?

[nickfromflc]

@Whiscash97 We didn't base it off of just one trailer. It's a bunch of scenes from a bunch of different movies. We made up the flow of the trailer.

[jsiwek330]

what is the name of the movie at the very start

[nickfromflc]

@jsiwek330 Say Anything. Thanks for watching.

[nmcvicker03]

I would totally pay to watch this movie if it was real. Great job guys.

[shadyltd080]

Wow thats exactly what I thought you did. I used to edit Analog Videos and I was like the only way they could have got those red lines is from a VCR. thats cool. makes me wanna make a 80's movie too. LOL

[HeyNickMurphy]

@shadyltd080 Thanks man. Yeah we did what we could with what we had. I shot it with a Canon 60D and then ran it through a VCR over and over again. Thanks for watching.

[shadyltd080]

Very clever, I thought your measurments of camera distances were almost uncanny with the films you were basing the parody, The only I think could have been done better was some scenes lacked good backgrounds, like principal rooneys office. other than that it was good acting, what did you guys use to shoot this? or is all just filtering and color grading tricks? Nice work. even the ending Title looks authentic, like you guys used a computer program from that era. LOL

Zane Bauer is so freaking beautifuL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like her dancing scenes as Zelda at the prom.....heart beats faster just watchin her :)

[LolaJonas0095]
