About the film

   The idea for the Zelda Movie came from our attempts of creating a movie based on the hit game, Zelda Ocarina of Time (1998), and eventually spawned into the idea it is today.

   The film is set during the Unification War, the original war for the triforce which is commonly believed to be set before any of the Zelda games. It has been mentioned in many of the titles such as A Link To The Past, Twilight Princess, briefly in Ocarina of Time and is an integral part of the story in the Minish Cap.

   The film doesnt star the main character from the video games, Link, but the first king of Hyrule, Gustaf. The main story follows how the war effectivly ruins his life, and his attempts to bring order to the distorted land.

   The plot has been carefully pieced together so as it fills in an otherwise completly void chapter of the Zelda chronology with a plot that makes sense with all the other games and the most commonly accepted timeline theory, whilst adding new characters and ideas that add to the Zelda story like no fan movie before (for more on how the plot fits into the Zelda Chronology check the "Timeline" section of the site).

   The film is going to be using a variety of CG elements mixed in with live action. The music will be a mixture of completly new stuff composed by a variety of artists including Pascal van Stekelenburg, Tommy Gundersen and remixed versions of previous Zelda titles.

   Filming is due to begin during the summer holidays, when Cinaclov and I have finished our exams. We have the intro location sorted, and we have done a test-run there previously (See below screenshot).
