The Hylia - Zelda: Legend of Link Part 3

Home | Community | The Legend of Link Part III




The Legend of Link has finally come to close. Part III is a bit more serious than the other two, but it still has its fair share of comedic relief. From EDPN (a rip off of ESPN), to Kaepora Gaebora's ranting, to the sheer "awesomeness" of the final battle (featuring mandatory Requiem for a Dream remix music), The Legend of Link ends with a bang.

Though I must say I was a bit dissapointed with the ending, and a lack of credits, overall part III was a decent watch. I find it interesting the creators had two very intense sequences in the production. The first was back in part II, the kidnap and attempted rape of Malon, and in this part, the slaughter of the Kokiri by Ganondorf. The film takes wild turns from light-hearted fun to over-the-top brutality (though I must admit I laughed a few times at the Kokiri Forest massacre).

Fans will definitely love the final sequence with Link and Zelda, which sums up what Nintendo has given us in terms of their feelings for each other. I must admit I am a bit sad that this is over because it was very fun to watch. I look forward to more fan films like this, which don't attempt to be faithful, serious attempts at a live-action Zelda film, but rather embrace the spirit of fan culture and the art of parody.

Many thanks to the creators and actors for their hard work on this production. Hopefully they release a higher quality version (with credits) in the near future.
