I mean seriously. I’ve never seen people get so outraged, over so little… as I have this April Fools day.

Okay, the situation is basic. This video went up. It is a prank. It is a live-action movie trailer for Legend of Zelda. Very well-done trailer, great idea for a prank. Entertain people, get their hopes up. I didn’t see people getting their hopes up. I saw people venting rage forth as if it were their child that had been murdered.

“Ganon’s head is too big!”

Gee, are you also one of those people that rant and rave about mistakes in films? Its a trailer. Get over it. Go outside. Have fun.

“HOW DARE YOU MAKE THIS TRAVESTY OF A MOVIE!!??”

Hey, at least you know how to spell travesty! You have something going for you at least. You could pretend to be pretentious. Well, not quite pretend. Oh by the way, theres a little thing called capitalization? Stop murdering your poor, poor, overused Caps Lock key.

And of course, there are plenty of comments I would not reprint. But why would people get so worked up over a movie version of a game? Personally, I felt it was a well-done movie trailer. The Legend of Zelda series has an almost timeless or iconic feel to the storylines. Link hardly ever talks, yet, we’re drawn into this incredible world of courage, good and evil…A good director would do a decent job.

And, then, on top of the “fools” angry about the movie being made… when they realized it was a prank… hoo boy. I could feel the flames all the way up here in the Frozen Wasteland of Canada. I’ve heard of expressing your opinion. Doesn’t mean I need to feel like you just covered my face in spittle from your exhortations as to how lame IGN is to trick you.

Grow up.

 Sincerely,

 An adult.
