Episode one of The Legend of Zelda: Oblivion Rising comes out today

After three years of production, the Zelda fan film Oblivion Rising is here! Directed by Scotty Whitehurst (who also plays Link) and written by Jay Norris (the Moblin King), Oblivion Rising is a deeply character-driven story that asks the question, “How far would you go for the one you love?”.

I had the pleasure of attending an early screening of Oblivion Rising last month during Southern Geek Fest, and what I loved most about the film were the subtle nods to the different games from the franchise and even the cartoon series — don’t worry, it’s nowhere nearly as cheesy.

Oblivion Rising is being released as a mini-series with new episodes every Sunday. You can catch episode one below, and be sure to check out their website for more about the cast, crew, and production.
