Random: University Student Makes Brilliant Zelda-Inspired Animation, Gets An A

Great animation, and that A was well deserved.

Guy has a bright future ahead of him

Very good video. Congratulations Jordan LeBlanc!

It's wonderful to see Nintendo inspire folk to learn to do stuff like this.

"Hopefully not a C&D"

Educational purposes. C'mon, do a little research before stoking the flames.

@Chocobo_Shepherd I thought it was quite witty, myself.

@Chocobo_Shepherd too good to pass up on it.

I personally will be impressed if they used other games inspiration for their project.
Using Zelda all the time doesn't make me impressed.

Btw, I used the inspiration from Amiibo Festival to make my own board game for Math Club extracurricular activity (with some questions added on the panel since the main topic is Math lesson) and my students like my board game.

Wont get C&D because its not a fan game, its a fan animation.

@Saemon @GrailUK but at the expense of informing readers??

Great video. Great talent

Great video: wow! The animation is excellent but also the story telling is well done for the short length.

@Chocobo_Shepherd dude, it’s a joke… Lighten up for pete’s sake

That was a beautifully done animation. The way his characters moved and use of color was excellent. I thought the music and sound was done very well too. That “A” was well deserved!

Need I remind you, the only fan animations that get taken down through a C&D are those that are completely unrepresentative of Nintendo's content. Adult entertainment is the number one thing to get shot down.

Loved it.
The talent to make your own cartoons. It's the dream!

This is quite typical western animation despite the apparent anime style. The facial expressions are overdone.

The animations of Link in BotW looks a lot better and more realistic. The same difference can be seen between quality japanese anime vs. quality western animated movies.

Wow! Amazing!
And i seriously enjoyed watching this.

Wow, and with a name like Jordan LeBlanc, that basically guarantees him fame. That's a famous person's name.

These fan animations and movies are terrific as are the people who make them. They do excellent stuff. Now if only an official Zelda project could come out someday.

@G_M Jokes are good. I'd be more open to the joke if journalism in general took its profession more seriously though. Every time there is an article about C&Ds from Nintendo you see people on this site go absolutely nuclear in both directions. Which is especially troubling considering the authors of those articles never provide all the details of the reality of IP law.

So to then have another article where the author prioritizes being a comedian over being a journalist? Yea, that's a sore spot for me.

I didn’t get that c and d thing, but then I did! Xx

A sea bass!
No wait---it's at least a C+!
@Chocobo_Shepherd
I honestly hope you're joking too.
It's just a clever joke about an animation project. No one is taking this as seriously as you are. Chillax.

@DDFawfulGuy Love the first part of your comment.

How about this: I'll chill about IP law when game journalists stop riling people up about it for clicks and comments. Fair enough??
