IGN preview

Seems to be based on Ocarina of Time, though the spider with the big eye on its back is a boss right out of Twilight Princess - I know because I just beat him this afternoon

It's to be released April 1st, 2009 - this better not be a joke!

IGN IGN:

April 1, 2008 - Few videogame properties hold the cachet of The Legend of Zelda. As a film project, it's on the scale of Lord of the Rings. But no one has tackled a live-action adaptation of the storied franchise… until today. Production Company Rainfall Films has asked IGN to premiere the very first footage from their live-action Zelda film — a very literal adaptation of the magical epic — and, of course, we said, "Yes!"

Much like the indie gem Cloverfield, this project has been shrouded in secrecy and details kept close to the vest. What we do know is that the film is being written and directed by newcomer Sam Balcomb. Going the route of Star Wars: Episode IV, this production decided to cast all unknowns in the iconic roles. Link is played by JR Killigrew, Camille C. Brown portrays a very Elven Princess Zelda, and Gregory Lee Kenyon stars as Ganondorf. You may, however, recognize Camden Toy (see TV's Buffy and Angel) in the supporting role as Sahasrahla.

hmmmm.....I wonder if there's going to be a big crowd going to this movie. I guess Link's been around for a while, so there must be quite a big fan base.

i'm a huge fan of the zelda franchise, have been since original NES game when i was in elementary school.

but this movie looks like shit. Zelda is deserving of a big budget worldwide summer release type movie, not this str8 to blockbuster D-list crap.
