Few videogame properties hold
the cache of The Legend of
Zelda. As a film project, it's
on the scale of Lord of the
Rings. But no one has tackled
a live-action adaptation of
the storied franchise... until
today. Production Company
Rainfall Films has asked IGN
to premiere the very first
footage from their live-action
Zelda film — a very
literal adaptation of the
magical epic — and, of
course, we said, 'Yes!'

Much like the indie gem
Cloverfield, this project has
been shrouded in secrecy and
details kept close to the
vest. What we do know is that
the film is being written and
directed by newcomer Sam
Balcomb. Going the route of
Star Wars: Episode IV, this
production decided to cast all
unknowns in the iconic roles.
Link is played by JR
Killigrew, Camille C. Brown
portrays a very Elven Princess
Zelda, and Gregory Lee Kenyon
stars as Ganondorf. You may,
however, recognize Camden Toy
(see TV's Buffy and Angel) in
the supporting role as
Sahasrahla.
