The Legend of Zelda: The Sage of Darkness

One evening upon browsing the wonderful horrid web of youtube, I found a hidden gem: I was more than surprised I had not seen this before. Here is my review of what I delved myself into for 135 minutes.

Overall: This film I could not stop watching, despite its flaws and the airplane flying over at 56:07, which could have been cleverly hidden with drone and string sounds. This was a great rendition of a video game. The film stuck to the cannon and lore whilst giving it's own flair, though I will admit a lot was taken from ocarina of time (including a CGI sequence). Though the cheesy swordplay and silly expressions were not meant to be comical I'd say it worked for them. I'll say this; if you have 135 minutes and want to watch something entertaining, are fans of the Zelda lore and you don't mind independent fan made movies, then head over to youtube and watch this!

This movie was just excellent! I have been a fan of the Legend of Zelda series, so that was why I watched this movie. I had initially feared it would be like that other Fan Film, the Hero of Time (a film I'd like to forget, other than it's music). This film was about a zillion times better! The acting was top-notch for a High-School production, the CGI was outstanding (again, for a High-School film0 and the screenplay was awesome! The action sequences were very well done. The musical score was not original, but plucked from other film and Videogae soundtracks. This really keeps the movie together and the Director placed the music in the perfect spots when editing! I recommend this film to not Just Zelda-fans, but nearly anyone who wants to see what a bunch of High-School fan-boys really can create.
