Sometimes, my friends, the universe is cruel. Sure, it's still awesome even in these dark moments, but nevertheless, the cosmos have a mean streak--and in no subculture is it more apparent than among the geeks. Brilliant sci-fi Westerns get canceled, wonderful games never get a sequel, and Duke Nukem... well, we'd better not talk about that. Even the things that don't exist have the potential to cause geek anguish. Take Zelda: The Lost Oracle, an imaginary Zelda game by animator Joel Furtado. Is it awesome? The trailer certainly suggests that it might be. Is it a real thing and, more importantly, is it a real thing that is happening? Probably not. Cruel fate!
Anyway, the trailer for Zelda: The Lost Oracle, created using CGI, evokes the same spirit of adventure captured so artfully by The Wind Waker. I'd watch a feature-length movie based on this work and since I'm usually a CGI detractor, that's saying something. Watch and prepare to wish as hard as you've wished for anything that Zelda: The Lost Oracle were coming soon to a 3DS near you:
SO GOOD, right? I'm gonna go find ALL THE GENIES.
