I didn't know they planned to profit from it. Do they think Nintendo would ever let anyone get away with that illegally?
I mean, if it's a fan production without any intention of profit, then more power to them. But if they planned on dvd and theatrical releases... Then they're making profit off of someone else's idea. As a big fan of Zelda, I wouldn't want someone to profit from the franchise illegally,the producers can spin that bull about expanding the Zelda universe all they want. If it was just a fan movie, then fine, but I think Nintendo are well within their rights here, they need to protect an IP as cherished as Zelda.
