Ever since Shigeru Miyamoto originally created The Legend of Zelda in 1986, it's been an immensely popular game series and turned into a terrific money-spinner for Nintendo. Having maxed-out in terms of merchandising, and even produced an animated series based on the idea, many people have asked the question: "Are They Going To Make A Zelda Movie?"
It seems like the next logical step. Indeed, Nintendo does have plans for other successful brands like Metroid. But the road to a Zelda movie is a long, twisted one littered along the way with rumours, gossip, news reports, and even an April Fools trailer!
Fans have been asking about a Zelda movie for years. Back in 2005, it seemed like everyone's prayers were going to be answered when Club Nintendo, an official Nintendo-related Mexican magazine ran a quote with Nintendo executive vice-president of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime, in which he stated that the company was intending to release a Zelda film.
Great news! Well, not quite. Club Nintendo then had to release a public apology stating that there were no plans at that time for a Zelda film. Boo, hiss!
Since then, Nintendo themselves have stayed quiet on the issue. It's been left to fans of the Zelda games to dream about a movie based on The Legend of Zelda. Indeed, one group of Zelda fans have even set up this site: http://www.zeldamovie.co.uk/
Interest in a Zelda movie was sparked again this year when IGN ran an April Fools hoax by posting a 'trailer' for a forthcoming Zelda movie on their website: http://uk.movies.ign.com/dor/articles/863515/legend-of-zelda...
There is huge support amongst Zelda fans for such a movie, but Nintendo don't seem too concerned with making one. Are they going to make a zelda movie? I don't think they will - I guess Silent Hill probably scarred them for life...
