Weird, right? Let me explain. A guy named Joe_Cracker wrote a (terrible) Legend of Zelda script and frequently posted about it on IGN's message boards. He was confident that it would be made into a movie, despite all the criticism he received. After failing to get Cracker to face reality, three IGN individuals (Cellius_18, Sexualburgerking, and Orquiox) pretended to be John Grusd (the director of the so-bad-it's-funny 80's Zelda cartoon) and easily convinced Cracker that his movie was being made. With Cellius's expertise in music and SBK's animating skills, they collaborated and made the above animations, which follow the script exactly and are made "poorly" by intention. The whole thing is chronicled in the following IGN threads.

They have a website, which I actually made for them, called DancingTriforce.com. As a thank you, they included a butterfly drawing of mine in TLOC3. See if you can spot it. =P
When you visit their website, you'll see that TLOC4 is now in production. Yay!
Cracker also has various geocities websites decorated with garishly bright colors. Right now he is maintaining a message board of his own.
Also, here is some stuff of Cracker's that no one else is willing to host anymore, including his various poorly written scripts. Robert McGee's full length film, Unknown Creature, can be seen on YouTube summed up in 4 minutes. If you actually want to sit through the entire thing (which I don't recommend), email me.
If you watch the movie, you will probably notice a part where Robert's brother, Andrew, says "And then I came across a creature just... gnawing into some food" in an unintentionally sing-song way. It is specifically located at 43:25, or at 2:30 in the 4 minute YouTube version. This line inspired Cellius and SBK to each write a song. When I found out and heard their versions, I was inspired to make one myself.
