IGN did something cool (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez4mMeAtCDo), for once in their long, useless existence.
-
You and I are, for today at least, in complete agreement.
-
I was a bit through before I realized it wasn't some parody. It looks pretty horrible... like a Uwe Boll special.
-
Hahahaha! "Coming April 1st 2009" Awesome. It makes me wish it wasn't a prank. Knowing it was a joke, I still got goosebumps.

Wait it is a prank?

Jeez Pug. Come on now. Since when did IGN get into the movie business?
-
Ummm..."IGN PRESENTS WORLD EXCLUSIVE TRAILER"
Nothing about them actually producing a movie or being in the movie business there. They release trailers all the time: http://movies.ign.com/

Yea... :P But that's the only indication that it's a joke. There has been talk of a Zelda movie for a while, and I thought this was the trailer. From what I watched, they went all the way with the production.
-
If you look at the end of the thing, at all the credit stuff, it's apparent that it's just a spoof.
-
Yea I just watched the first minute, and quit thinking,"Damn this looks horrible."
Credit to them for putting a lot of resources in that trailer.

Did someone mention a Uwe Boll look?
Okay, so the jig is up: Our Legend of Zelda movie trailer was an elaborate April Fool's joke. Did we get you? Judging by some of the thousands of responses in the comments field of the article and across a wide assortment of message boards, at least a few of you out there fell for it. And we can't really blame you, either – the team at Rainfall Films put together a pretty convincing spot. Hey – bare minimum, it beats the pants off anything Uwe Boll has ever attached his name to (and we apologize to Rainfall for that unnecessary comparison.)
IGN comes clean. (http://wii.ign.com/articles/864/864098p1.html)
