EDITEDIT: THE ZELDA THEME REMIX THAT I MADE FOR THE CREDITS CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT MY WEBSITE: http://www.sexysexybicycl e.net FEEL FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND ENJOY, BUT DON'T USE IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. THANKS BUNCHES.

EDIT: O DAM! Front Page and Zelda Collection! AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME! You guys rock! Thanks for all the great reviews!

This is my semester project for my filmmaking class. I started it a long time ago, but didn't get very far and ended up forgetting all about it. When I had to come up with an idea for a movie for class, this was the first thing that popped into my mind. This is probably my first "balls-to-the-walls" animated short. I spent quite a few late nights (and more recently, days home from school) trying to finish this up on time. I'm pretty excited about how it turned out and I've learned alot on this project too. It's 18 fps, and a great majority of it is frame-by-frame. I did the voice of the shopkeeper and my friend Chris helped me record the lines. I also made the zelda remix durring the credits in Fruity Loops. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Note: The first scene of this movie has a shit-ton of layers, so you may want to watch it on medium quality if your computer is slow. Just right click and change it.

"Good take on an old joke"

date: 10 hours ago

The "Link can't speak" jokes, while technically not true, and nevertheless done countless times, and they're usually pretty funny. This is no exception.

The art style is great. It's well drawn, and smooth. There is detail in the backgrounds and in the characters. Good.

The voices are clear, and the shopkeeper is able to express emotions and inflection effectively. That was you, right? Good job.

My one problem with the movie isn't a technical aspect, but a story one. I've never seen Link as violent like in the end; he always seems to be portrayed as a selfless, compassionate and humble hero. That's my interpretation of him, though, and not yours. Perhaps this is why Miyamoto has kept Link from speaking; so we all can imagine Link as we wish.

Good job, therefore, on doing what Miyamoto wants us to do.

"Brilliance!!"

You know wat that would be funny if it happened in the game!!! But it didn't and that's depressing. This is a hillarious movie for all TLoZ fans, no matter what happens to the shopkeeper!!
