Legend of Zelda (April Fools' Day) Movie Trailer Premiere

On April 1, 2008, IGN debuted a trailer for a movie based on Nintendo's Legend of Zelda. The trailer blew up on IGN's website -- and clever viewers spotted the hints on its credits screen that it wasn't, well, real. IGN and filmmaker Sam Balcomb teamed up to create a believable April Fool's prank, which made hundreds of thousands believe it was a real project (and who were very, very angry with us).
While the video debuted on IGN.com, we uploaded it to CZcams a few months later. For other IGN April Fool's videos, check this list:

Imagine hearing that 15 years later they’d actually make a real The Legend Of Zelda movie

[@VyseNice]

ELEVEN YEARS. Still not even close to forgiving.

[@Ryusuta]

"Speak to no one."

[@kathreath1]

I'm so happy that people came to this trailer to remember how it was

[@oldschool3424]

I remember when I was a kid, I cried when I found out this wasn’t real

[@cuma212]

14 years and the pain still remains

[@mattbrown4207]

15 years later and Nintendo is finally making this a reality. Can't freaking wait.

[@andreweinmo1657]

It has been 15 years, but the prophecy is finally being fulfilled.

[@PlantedbyCherry]

Found this when I was probably about 11 or 12 and got sooo pissed it was a joke that I emailed the creators hate mail about it for three months straight lmao

[@Antoniogo1204]

Sometimes i come here just to remind myself not to trust anyone or anything

[@willh7352]

Link could literally do an entire movie without saying a word. Just his sword swings, damage and screaming from rolling and falling.

[@lisamcrad5799]

Whose here after the sudden news?

[@mattgurleymusic]

Wife, kids and I still boiling with uncontrollable rage after 7 years... Meanest prank of all time...

[@lizzlover4855]

I remember watching this when I was a little kid thinking this was real. I was freaking out until I realized it was April Fool's Day.

[@Markeyssc]

This was the cruelest joke

[@darkangelzephyron]

This was and always will be the cruelest april's fool joke ever made

[@TerribleMighty1]

I’m here from 2023 to tell my younger self that the time has come. It’s finally happening….

[@markkeal6447]

I'm here in 2022 reliving one of the most painful dupes of my life, anyone else still wondering why this is not a movie yet?
