Movie has even caused Eiji Aonuma to express interest in a Zelda adaptation, so it seems only a matter of time before the green light is flicked to the &#8216;on&#8217; position.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, however, fans are concerned about a potential Zelda movie&#8217;s artistic direction. Could it go down the same route as the Mario Movie and put its focus on slapstick humour? Surely not. How about a Ghibli-esque animation? Heck, we&#8217;d be up for that.<\/p>\n<p>Writer and video editor Dom Nero has something quite different in mind and has created a fan-made mashup trailer of what he deems to be the most appropriate vision for a Zelda movie (thanks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/what-to-watch\/23844563\/dark-fantasy-movies-zelda-fan-trailer\">Polygon<\/a>). By splicing together footage from existing movies (with a particular focus on the work of puppeteer Jim Henson), Nero has crafted a Zelda trailer that looks like it&#8217;s been plucked straight from the &#8217;80s. It&#8217;s actually quite remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying, of course, that if Nintendo <em>were<\/em> to make an official Zelda movie, it probably wouldn&#8217;t look anything like Nero&#8217;s trailer. We&#8217;re betting it&#8217;ll be some sort of animation in collaboration with Illumination again; after all, rumours earlier this year pointed to a potential deal being struck between Nintendo and Universal that&#8217;ll give Illumination another crack at a Nintendo movie.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/related-articles:150864,147827 @ 2023-08-29T00:33:36+01:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>What do you make of this fan-made Zelda movie trailer?
