Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube793kProduction on Nintendo and Sony's live-action Legend of Zelda film is presumably ticking away behind closed doors, but in the meantime, a group of fans are undertaking the challenge of bringing Hyrule to life themselves.Above, you'll find the first teaser trailer for 'Lost in Hyrule', an upcoming live-action fan film which has just opened its doors to Rupee donations on Kickstarter (or other, non-Hylian currencies, if you'd rather). According to the campaign page, the story takes place after the events of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, offering the filmmaker's take on "the untold conclusion to the Hero of Times saga". Mmm, lore.Director Chris Carpenter will also handle the role of Link, while Princess Zelda, "a driving force in this film", will be played by A Series of Unfortunate Events' Avi Lake.The project is setting out to raise $30,000 through Kickstarter (around 24,000), with 100% of the funds raised going into the film. At the time of writing, it is currently around a third of the way to its goal, with another 31 days left until things wrap up on 21st February.Now, let's address the Mario-shaped elephant in the room. The Kickstarter page specifies that the project is not affiliated with Nintendo or the official upcoming live-action movie, pledging to "comply with the wishes of Nintendo, Sony Pictures, or Arad Productions", should any of the big boys get involved.If things progress without any legal issues, however, then the project intends to wrap up its fundraising campaign next month before shooting in April and releasing in Fall 2025 that's quite the turnaround! Alongside the above teaser trailer, the production team has also released a 'pitch' video explaining the project and teeing up some of the story beats we can expect (hello, Child Link).It's certainly an ambitious project, but looking at the footage so far, it's fair to say that the heart (container) is in the right place. We'll keep an eye out over the coming months to see how this one progresses. Heck, we already know more about it than Nintendo and Sony's upcoming take...
