A few years back, a small fan company known as Zelda Motion created a small teaser clip to bring Akira Himekawa’s manga adaptation of A Link to the Past to life (known in Japan as Triforce of the Gods). And now they are ready to bring a full web series dedicated to this game and manga using famous voice actors such as Vic Mignogna (Dragonball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist dubs) and will feature a full blown musical score and animation. Here a quote from Zelda Motion:


“Officially, Zeldamotion is a project run by Aeipathy Industries. Mike Patch (Mechawatts) has started this on his own and will finish it on his own. The incredible voice acting cast featuring Todd Haberkorn (Allen Walker, from D- Grayman) , Vic Mignogna (Edward Elric, from Full Metal Alchemist), Kent Williams (Father, from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood) and Kira Buckland (Princess and Medusa, from Castle Crashers), has already recorded their roles and is being synced up to the animations.

The new trailer will be available within the next couple of weeks, to go along with the Kickstarter to help funding this and future episodes. I will finish the project with or without the Kickstarter or other funding. Kickstarter or other funding will just make it happen sooner, and enable future episodes to be done in a fraction of the time.”




The trailer for this project will be revealed early next month and if you are curious about the teaser they released a few years ago, here it is below. But note that the final product won't be like this as it will be in full animation and have voice actors.

Would it be possible when reporting on unauthorized or fan produced projects to identify them as so in the headline of the article?

I would love to see Zelda in anime, and A Link to the past is one of my favorite Zeldas along with Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I just hope it doesn't turn out like this:

They need to get a damn live action Zelda movie in the works. I've been a fan of the series since the original. Ironically the only one I never played was a link to the past, lol. Well that and all the gameboy ones.

@ Dante - I grew up on the classic Zelda games, so I enjoyed the cartoons myself.

@ taz - Just like the original Zelda cartoons, Nintendo was aware of them but have no part of it same goes with the manga that this anime is based off of.

The only Zeldas I couldn't get into were the Four Swords ones and Spirit Tracks.....yeesh. Every other one AMAZING and I'll play them over and over. Forever.

This also looks epic.

The mangas are good, quick reads but good and follow the games. Check them out if your a fan of the series. You can pick them up pretty cheap off of ebay and amazon.

I wish we would get an animated Zelda. This is a MOTION COMIC. Not animation, but if this is what gets the ball rolling for an anime than cool. Motion comics are weak, cheap, and lame for the most part.

A live action would be the worst movie EVER. This is a property that has kept, for the most part, the SAME look for 20 years. It wont translate and it would look really really lame. Animation is the best way.

@ felixx

If you read the post you would know the final product is going to be in full animation and nothing like the small clip that was made years ago. It will not be a motion comic.
