Oh, how I wish they were joking.
Apr. 1st, 2008 02:16 pmSomeone decided that it would be a good idea to make a Zelda movie.
IGN has the first trailer of the live-action flick here. It... doesn't look promising.
For starters, I really don't believe it was wise to carry the trope of Link as Silent Hero to the film medium. Second, I have a feeling it'll look a little like a speed run of a Zelda game (or there'll only be, like, 3 dungeons). Finally, while it's fun to watch someone else play (and to yell suggestions when they get stuck - Zelda film crossed with Rocky Horror, anyone??), it's generally much more satisfying to play Zelda yourself.
EDIT: Wooops... fooled me!

As a lighter, better bit of humor, I offer you the short story Wikihistory. It's about time travel and what all the new members of the International Association of Time Travelers do on their first 'trip'. Enjoy!
