Zelda hits the big screen
Nintendo have already stated that they have no inclination to turn the popular Legend of Zelda series into a big-budget movie.
Fan power has paved the way for a group of small-time producers, Zelda fans and movie buffs, who have joined forces to create their own movie. It's been two years in the making and is now almost ready to roll.
The Zelda games are primarily set in a fantasy world, in the Kingdom of Hyrule,and blend action,adventure, puzzle solving, and even platforming. The Zelda series is considered one of the most influential games ever created.
The movie's story is roughly based off that of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Link, who has been raised by the Kokiri, is sent to Hyrule City by the Great Deku Tree. Once there, he meets Princess Zelda who tells him what the Triforce symbol on his hand means and exactly who he is,
Meanwhile, Ganon has arranged a banquet for the king, but this gesture, seemingly in good faith, is actually a part of his evil scheme. At the banquet, the king is poisoned, and Ganon overthrows the kingdom. Link flees to the Temple of Time and takes the Master Sword, but is shocked when he finds he has suddenly traveled into the future. Link discovers that it is a bleak future, for Ganon has destroyed the land, and so he sets out to find Zelda. Along the way he meets Sheik, and learns that he will need the help of the sages to defeat Ganon. After he defeats demons that are guarding the sages, Link returns to Hyrule where he confronts donzens of Gerudo warriors and ultimately fights Ganon.
Along the way, other characters from the game make appearances, including Saria, Impa, Malon and Talon.
