Wii parody of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Posted over on the Idle Thumbs forums, a really nice little video is available on Google Video that parodies the most recent major Zelda game, Wind Waker. To summarise what happens in the video, Link’s sister Aryll finds a Wii controller and has a bit of fun with it (and Link).
It’s a really well done video. While it may not be immediately apparent, the video isn’t actually in-engine and was instead created in a 3D modelling application. Whoever produced it has managed to pin down the style perfectly, and come up with an animation that looks almost exactly like a hidden scene in the game or something.
It’s also pretty funny, with the subtle humour completely matching the style of that seen in the game itself; there’re some nice little references to be appreciated, such as Link firmly patting the pig better after accidentally stabbing it — anyone who’s played Wind Waker knows that those things can get pretty volatile when provoked! Almost as bad as the Ocarina of Time chickens.
I saw this video the other day and was throughly impressed.
A hell of a lot of effort must have gone into making this, and it shows.
Definitely worth a watch :D
