"ReBoot Zelda," you had your day in the sun. It's time to step aside for a truly incredible Zelda fan video!

Animator Joel Furtado conceived of a new game in the series, Zelda: The Lost Oracle, using everybody's favorite cel-shaded art style from The Wind Waker. The magnificence of this fake trailer is hard to describe. I mean, it's CG, but there's a traditional animation flavor and an almost stop-motion quality to the character movements. It's mesmerizing.

Two problems I have: The stuff in the foreground never seems to quite blend with the background and Link's face looks like it was pasted onto his featureless head. But yeah, I can certainly see why you love it so much.

It's like Ubisoft (specifically the team behind Rayman Origins) and Nintendo had a glorious, albeit illegitimate, lovechild.

Zelda Wind Waker is pure genius. The fact that a large amount of so-called zelda fans complained about its art style shows just how stupid and unsophisticated gamers have become over the years.

Who are these dudebros's that hate cool stuff????

Pitiful.

@Bwa: seriously, that game rocked. Even a 3d Zelda hater like me loved it.
