IGN’s April Fools Day Joke: The Legend Of Zelda Movie Trailer

Real or Fake?

Not to be all superficial, but the tip-off that this really well done movie trailer by IGN of The Legend of Zelda was a spoof, was that basically:
a) Link was a butterface
b) Zelda and Ganondorf looked corny
c) The effects were a little too “cheap cgi,” and well for d, I will just paste in comments from youtube
d) “I’m glad it’s fake, this movie looks horrible. I actually cried when I thought it was real.” - Axen901

“MY GOD I WISH IT WERE REAAAAAL….WHY GOD…WHYYYY!?!?!?!…but Link’s face looked really fucking weird O.o” - FoolishLittleGirl

“Seriously, if one more person says that this video is fake, I think I’ll vomit all over them. WE KNOW! YOU THINK YOU’RE THE FIRST ONE TO FIGURE IT OUT AFTER 2000+ COMMENTS? It is no groundbreaking discovery that this is a fake. I’d love to see it if it were real. But we all know that it will be real some day in the future.” - Foolface06

Good game.

    [...] First up come Shabooty!  Shabooty isn’t focused on politics as much, but there’s definitely some fun stuff going on there.  For those who have had Shabooty on your blogroll, the URL has changed, so please update it to http://shabooty.com. Now, the first thing that popped out at me was this movie trailer which, had it been real, would have sent me off the rails worse than the Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie already has done.  Okay, maybe not so much, but old school video game buffs could hardly be blamed for wishing this wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke.

    Ok Listen up, I have heard left and right how much this movie is gonna suck. I would just like to say…SHUT UP!!! Seriously, enjoy a movie for once instead of being suck stuck up asses about it. I for one KNOW that there is a Legend of Zelda Movie coming out and couldn’t care less how everyone “looks”

    Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf have ALWAYS looked stupid, even in the game. Grow up, stop bashing shit you have never seen before and get on with your stupid pointless lifes…peace!
