Most Expensive April Fool's Prank


Browsing the web on April Fool's Day can create lots of frustration. There are articles being released about the most bizarre and unrealistic rumors, but IGN has just taken it to the next level.

As one of the most committed and probably expensive pranks in history, the site has put together a trailer for "The Legend of Zelda," which clearly made use of several actors, a director, special effects and a whole bunch of other stuff to bring the popular game to reality.

"The Legend of Zelda" began in 1986 with Shigeru Miyamoto's classic video game. It went on to spawn an animated series and a short-lived line of comics. While a movie, based on the game, has been in high demand by fans, no studio has ever pushed forward with it.

Ha! That looks great. If it were really a movie, it would look better (especially the villain).

I'd be surprised if this doesn't materialize within five years or so.
