Remember the good old days of gaming when The Legend of Zelda was all the rage? Well, get ready to have your mind blown, because a fan has created a trailer for a 1980s dark fantasy Zelda movie that would have given us a whole new reason to scream, “Excuse me, Princess!”
Video editor extraordinaire, Dom Nero, takes us on a journey into the depths of our nostalgia by paying tribute to iconic films like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. From the very beginning, you’ll see the unmistakable logo of Jim Henson’s production company, the genius behind those fantastical worlds. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Nero imagines a dream team collaboration, with Nintendo and The Henson Company bringing this epic Zelda movie to life, produced by none other than gaming legend Shigeru Miyamoto, along with Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott.
But what makes this fan-made trailer truly magical is the way it seamlessly weaves together scenes from The Princess Bride and The NeverEnding Story. Remember the Hungry Rockbiter from The NeverEnding Story? Well, he makes an appearance and instantly transports us back to our childhood. It’s as if Link is facing off against one of his classic enemies, a Talus perhaps, but with that unmistakable ’80s flair.
And let’s not forget the iconic Zelda elements that make our hearts skip a beat. The Triforce, the symbol of ultimate power, makes a dazzling appearance, reminding us of the unforgettable quests we embarked upon in the game.

Alas, it never happened, but thanks to Dom Nero’s imagination, we can catch a glimpse of what might have been.
So grab your ocarina, put on your green tunic, and get ready to embark on an adventure that will reignite your love for all things Zelda. This fan-made trailer is a testament to the enduring popularity of the franchise and the unwavering dedication of its fans. After all, even though we may not have a live-action Zelda movie from the ’80s, our imaginations can still take us on epic quests filled with beloved characters and thrilling battles.
Link, Zelda, and the kingdom of Hyrule await. Let the adventure begin!
