Wanted to say, if the creator can still see this, you made something that so many remember because of how unique it is!! Very rare to accomplish something like this.
That's very kind of you to say - thank you! I now have my own kids, and the greatest reward is watching them enjoy this. I never pictured that when I created it!
@@gachastorys5129 thank you! It was all made in 3ds Max using the scanline renderer, which is actually pretty basic. There are far better ways to produce better quality visuals nowadays. If only I had the time to go back to it...!
Right! I especially love that it's quite high energy and is really consistent in it. Watched this when I was 13 and I'm now 26. Guess I'll be here at 39 too!
I love how at 3:27 Link's thinking, "Well, I'm about to go into battle with my worst enemy who is not only an excellent swordsman but also an incredibly powerful sorcerer. Better throw away my shield."
I just discovered this amazing work. It's really epic and with a lot of great developed references! I ever wanted to see more about the Temple of Light and the creation of the world of Hyrule. Congrats!
Oh, WOW!! I'm so jealous of your talent! I adore the detail in the design and story, the timing with the song is perfect...I just love it all! Thanks so much for sharing it!
6 year old me was not impressed with links face. he didn't care about the backgrounds. or that awesome fight. nope just his fucking face... 9 years later now that i know all the hard work and dedication that goes into animating. his face could be a minecraft dirt block and I'd care less.
For those wondering, the name of the song in the video is "Ancient Hero" by Darkesword (a remix of "The Legendary Hero" from _The Wind Waker_ soundtrack), as listed in the video screen-credits at 4:48. All the same, this is really impressive for animation from almost 10 years ago! Even if the CGI is not HD, it's still fantastic, and the choreography was well-paced, but my favorite part was the animation on the Creation of Hyrule from _The Ocarina of Time_ -- it was fast, artistically synchronized with the music, and it had great shots with the cinematography! Everyone who worked on this project should be proud of what they've accomplished! Great job!
remember watching this when I was 13... im now closing 29... still a masterpiece! and bring me soooo much nostalgia! (watching this vid every now and then, always was a part of my memories)...... (also seeing everything that changed in my life since then, but, this vid stayed the very SAME, stayed TRULY AWESOME!!! (...man..! no words!!) I mean....., 13 years as passed..!) whos still watching this in 2020!?!? damn this song an vid.. its perfect! make me chills EVERY SINGLES TIMES I'M WATCHING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i remember teenage me googling "zelda movie" at my schools library and stumbling upon this! So much nostalgia.. gave me chills back then, and still now! (might not be the first time I've commented here, hehe.) I keep coming back to watch this video from time to time and can't believe thats 16 years old.. it's still awesome even by today's standards! Imagine a remake in 4K with today's tech... I would pay money to see that! the creator should definitely do a Kickstarter for this project!.. I'd be the first to back it!
Thanks for this comment - it’s always great to receive one such as this so many years after publishing the video. It makes me nostalgic, too! And it’s funny you should mention 4k, as it’s my dream to remake the fight scene in Unreal one day. Might have to wait until me kids are a bit older though… 😬
i love that i commented on this 8 years ago (when i was 16) and i showed this to my Computer Based Animation class haha and now it has over a million views congratulations! :D
This is still so good! I wanted to see some good Zelda video and remembered this from when I was younger. I couldn't find it, nor did I remember the name so I literally went to the very end of my Liked videos and there it was haha. Watched it when I was 13, watching it now as I'm 26. Guess I'll be back at 39 :p Now off to watch your newer Dark Sage videos! Thanks for making them. Great atmosphere, pace, music. I remember being quite astounded that there was actually a fight between Ganondorf and Link. I thought it was going to be a dungeon for Link to traverse without really any cool ending. This is great! :)
@@Coloniser Definitely did ;) Can I ask though; who are you? haha. Not meaning to be rude, but I just wonder: what's your relationship with Zelda? Why make those vids? I think I also ask because I remember that around the first time I watched Dark Sage I felt like making such animations myself, but never really got to actually doing it.
@@donn4life well it all came about after nintendo delayed the release of TP. I had just finished studying games design, so decided I'd make something myself. Spiralled from there really, just as a bit of a hobby. Unfortunately, 15+ years, a career and 2 kids later, I don't really have the time anymore :(
@@Coloniser Wow you did game design! I literally have been looking a bit into becoming one myself this past week, because I don't like my current job that much anymore. Then yesterday a friend of mine contacted me to start working again on a game we started on in a game design&dev minor we took. Do you see any opportunity to tell what games you've worked on? Very curious as I like your Dark Saga so much haha. Do your kids play Zelda? ;) Hope you have a wonderful time with them!
Hunted for this video after having seen it almost five years ago. Many people have posted up CGI projects of their own and while they are good, I have always used you as a template for quality. Thank you for your hard work.
this is one of the most coolest things i've ever seen i'm doing 3d modeling and programming when i get into uni and i hope i can get as good as you when i'm older
That was pretty amazing. I loved the remixed music. As the fight scene was intense. I relly like how you threw in the jump attack and the spin attack. You're Good.
i like how the towers in the castle place had the three spiritual stones on them, also the twilight princess reference at the memorial in the forest (on top of the place with the door to the twilight realm) the pillars, and thank you for making link left handed like he's supposed to be.
The intro was more amazing than in OoT. When Link entered, the whole thing became dramatically dull for a moment, but from then on the concept continued being just epic! Not to mention the battle choreography. A great animation!
Most awesome. The amount of work that went into this is commendable and it's quality is on par with some CG shows I watched when I was younger; Dan Dare, Starship Troopers, War Planets: Shadow Raiders to name a few. All of which had a large crew involved in production compare to what I assume was just you and some friends at most. I could really imagine this as a one of the cartoons on tv before school, if that were the case I'd be late every day (as if I wasn't anyway! =D)
Great work! Nice video. Zelda is one of the best games of all times, if not, the best. Would like to see another video like this great work once again.
Fantastic choreography and stunning visuals, must have taken a lot of thought to get something that good!! Although your information was a tiny bit flawed, Farore is the Godess of Wisdom and Nayru is the Godess of Courage.
@HelenRox98 There are 2 full-length (meaning 2-hour-long) live action fanmade movies; one is called The Sage of Darkness, which Nintendo demanded be taken down by the movie's owners, but is still available for torrent download, and the other is called The Hero of Time, also available as a torrent download. If you don't know what a torrent is, you can do a little digging to find "The Hero of Time" to watch it online. Hope that helps! (PS: The Sage of Darkness sucked next to the Hero of Time)
great video, and i want to thank you for introducing me to ocremix so long ago. now that ive found this video again i can also do what i should have done all those years ago, favorite this video.
@@kosselamm5077 here's a link to the official video posted by ocremix.org for 'Ancient Hero' composed by ocremix artist DarkeSword th-cam.com/video/eEOGcN-4THE/w-d-xo.html
This pretty much is a trailer... an awesome one!!!! This is pretty much all about "Ocarina of Time" I like how they fought in the chamber of sages. i also LOVED how well you told the story of the Goddeses. If you have any room in your life for a new goal, it should be this: Make a full length Zelda movie. Like 20 minutes long. That would be sooooo badass
Wow! That was amazing! I'm presuming this is after Twilight Princess, as the statues appear to be in Arbiter's Grounds, in the mirror chamber. lol. An amazing video, well deserving of a 5* rating :D
Thanks. It's pretty difficult for one guy to make a big movie, so yeh, that's it. Although I have a small "encore" that I hope to have finished before I go travelling...
Esta es una de las mejores películas de Zelda que yo haya visto en mi vida.... Felicidades! =) This is one of the greatest movies i haver ever seen in my life... Congrats... its Awesome! :D

13 years... THIRTEEN. YEARS. This animation was ahead of its time, and it still holds up pretty well today.
Ahh thanks!
@@Coloniser what did you use to make this animation? it looks so good
@@gachastorys5129 thank you! It was all made in 3ds Max using the scanline renderer, which is actually pretty basic. There are far better ways to produce better quality visuals nowadays. If only I had the time to go back to it...!

2022 and it's always a pleasure to come back to this masterpiece.
I love how at 3:27 Link's thinking, "Well, I'm about to go into battle with my worst enemy who is not only an excellent swordsman but also an incredibly powerful sorcerer. Better throw away my shield."
Christ I remember this from when I first got into the series, it's amazing finding it again
It's amazing how 15 years have passed since this video was released, and I watched it in 2007 and rewatching it today, it's still as epic as ever.
Back when we thought all zelda games would have to do with oot
13 years later and still the ultimate soundtrack and animation!
Ahh, thanks!
Loved this video since it came out. Can't believe how old it is though oh man
Finally found this legendary video
I knew that this shortcut existed, it took me a while to find it but was worthy. Wow men, I was so little.
That was awesome!
8 years ago... Doesn't feel like it...
Me too...
13 years ago... Doesn't feel like it...
@@CameronAC fuck... :(
I just discovered this amazing work. It's really epic and with a lot of great developed references! I ever wanted to see more about the Temple of Light and the creation of the world of Hyrule. Congrats!
Thank you! In that case, you might be interested in the feature-length version I recently finished - th-cam.com/video/mE4jc4Lr6e8/w-d-xo.html :)

Holy crap. This is definite CG movies I have seen on here. Please by all means keep up this excellent work.
Finally found this. Very impressed.
I have watched this movie many times 9years ago.
I just want to say the music is great. Hope a movie for Zelda.
I was 13 when I watched this in 2007. Glad to see this piece of my childhood is still here.

it's awesome, i was very bluffed by the script, the quality of animation. You are super.
It's beautiful despite it's old
absaloutly incredible! you've done the zelda series justice
woah... brilliantly done! The godesses' part was particularly breathtaking, and the battle was well choreographed, nice job!
Amazing you have great talent. This movie is beautiful, great job man! A great tribute to The Legend of Zelda.
WOW man... very well done. If a full CG movie was made like this I would love watching it.
The battle coreography was amazing! really impressed!
Damn, if I didn't know better I'd swear this was the next Zelda game. Fantastic job mate!
I don't know how many times I've watched this. I just love it!!!! My favourite part is the goddess bit. It's just so well done!
That was truly, truly amazing. :) Great job!! You have definitely pleased a major Legend of Zelda fan.
That was pretty amazing. I loved the remixed music. As the fight scene was intense. I relly like how you threw in the jump attack and the spin attack. You're Good.

A great joy to watch and a really amazing piece of animated artwork allowing to dive into Hyrule again for at least a few minutes! Thanks!
The intro was more amazing than in OoT. When Link entered, the whole thing became dramatically dull for a moment, but from then on the concept continued being just epic! Not to mention the battle choreography. A great animation!
wow, the fight with ganon is incredible. better than anything ive ever seen. good job
This is easily my favorite Zelda song from OCRemix. :)
A very brilliant and epic Zelda fan movie!
Most awesome. The amount of work that went into this is commendable and it's quality is on par with some CG shows I watched when I was younger; Dan Dare, Starship Troopers, War Planets: Shadow Raiders to name a few.

The song is Ancient Hero by Darkesword. Although I don't know where to download it since I use TH-cam downloader.
Great work! Nice video. Zelda is one of the best games of all times, if not, the best. Would like to see another video like this great work once again.
just an awesome video you made I've always been a zelda fan nice to see a good original video like this keep up the good work
A much more epic, drawn out version of that battle is precisely how I pictured a Link-Ganondorf duel in a feature film. Very well done!
*jaw drops*
I'm speechless...this is absolutely amazing...especially for a fan-made...
This feels like something Nintendo might have made in the 90's if the team that made the DK cg cartoon did one for Zelda too.
i had this video for years but never commented to how great it was.
10 stars
This is amazing! The animation is just brilliant, and I just love the way that it all fits in with the music...
Keep up the awesome work man
I think its funny how fast Ganondorf can move despite how huge he is
Truly amazing work, I can only imagine how long this took to make. Although it did give me an idea for a game, now if only I could make the game . . .
Brilliant!~ The patience to do this is a talent enough.
Fantastic choreography and stunning visuals, must have taken a lot of thought to get something that good!! Although your information was a tiny bit flawed, Farore is the Godess of Wisdom and Nayru is the Godess of Courage.

That was awesome!
Epic video, and i loved the mysterious ending!
Very nice :D
this is fucking incredible. I cannot believe that you made this. It looks absolutely professional. Just outstanding
That was amazing...im a totally obsessed zelda fan and I think it was outstanding!
No doubt.. The VERY BEST Legend -of-Zelda-Related Video I viewed in my life..
Favorites.
The Legend Not Die!!
ZeruDen64.-
Lol, yeh, but we love that about him really!! It took slightly under two years, if you're interested!
That was actually pretty good! I love the idea of the Final Hero, even though I'd hate the series to end...
u made me more in love with the series....great job!
This pretty much is a trailer... an awesome one!!!!
This is pretty much all about "Ocarina of Time"

HOLY SHIT!!! I got blasted out of my seat by the awesomeness! Thank you
a) for definition of awesome
b) for giving me new ideas for my game
Wow! That was amazing! I'm presuming this is after Twilight Princess, as the statues appear to be in Arbiter's Grounds, in the mirror chamber. lol.
An amazing video, well deserving of a 5* rating :D
That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! Incredible! You should submit that to Nintendo as an idea. You rock!
that was marvelous i hope to see more from you dude. espeacially with how you left that opening there.
nice grafics and i love the fight seen and that was cool that u even added the blood to the death of ganon
All I could think the whole time was just wow that was epic good job!
wow this is pretty good! except for the characters but the fight scene at the end was epic! good stuff man! xD
I wish the "creation of Hyrule" scenes in the games were half as awesome as this. This always gives me chills
Dude, this was really cool!!...loved the music & camera works....keep it up :)
Do you know the name of the song? I really want it
This gives me chills every time
Awesome! Very fluid animation, wonderfully made!
FANTASTIC! sums up this video. I only hope that Nintendo is watching this right now and is taking notes.
EXCELENT VIDEO!!! U did a great job dude!! Congratulations.
Wonderful.... I was truly impressed when I saw the part of the goddesses....and very nice music, too
I've already commented your great video before, but you also cared for one important detail: Link is left handed!
All hail to you dude!
~▲~ Zelda Forever!

Amazing video you made there. I hope you make more! :D
Yes love this T_T been 15 years and I still love this
Thanks. It's pretty difficult for one guy to make a big movie, so yeh, that's it. Although I have a small "encore" that I hope to have finished before I go travelling...
this is one of my favourite videos on youtube.
Great rendition of the overworld theme, man, I love it!
@Naruto00122 according to my knowledge is of the wink wakers game "Legendary Hero" but in a different played style
That was AWESOME! You're really good at CG stuff. I can't do any of that worth a flip. XD
the first time i watched this i seriosly thaught that there was a new zelda game coming out.
extremely good job :)
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
OMG. I loved this. 5/5! Great sum up of the Legend of Zelda!!
Wow! That's so amazing! I can't describe the feeling I had while watching this..
Esta es una de las mejores películas de Zelda que yo haya visto en mi vida.... Felicidades! =)
This is one of the greatest movies i haver ever seen in my life... Congrats... its Awesome! :D
