Master Chief Does Hyrule in The Legend of Halo

A timeless adventure starring that iconic green-clad videogame hero. No, the other one.

It really is amazing how much of our memories are derived from sound. All it takes is the little opening glissando of that MIDI-ified piano from the Ocarina of Time title screen, and I instantly feel like a 13-year-old kid again, sitting in my basement with all the lights turned off as I start my latest Zelda adventure.

That aside, the above video is the first part of The Legend of Halo: The Quest for Recon, a little machinima project featuring one user's quest for the extremely rare Recon armor in Halo 3 done in the style of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. And when I say "done in the style of," I mean that this guy absolutely nailed the feel of the N64 classic. From the camera angles as the Master Chief opens doors to the boss intro (how do you pronounce an apostrophe at the end of a word, exactly?), it's 100% Zelda ... just, you know, starring a SPARTAN-II instead of a little fairy boy in tights.

It might not look like a very exciting game to play (and boy, is it ever clear that Halo isn't meant to be a third-person action game) but the guy earns an A+ on effort and nostalgia value alone.

The opening alone made me want to dig out my 64, by dig out i mean unplug the wii and plug in the 64. :P
This is really cool!
sigh...here come the memories..... stupid octoroc's...

I saw that a couple of months ago on Machinima.com. That A+ is definitely earned. Also, just adding the apostrophe at the end of boss is the correct grammar. No more effort is necessary.

It took them this long to post it on Youtube?

Wallhuggers. Zombies. Help. I'm 7 again.

Must get Epona, escape from Lon-Lon ranch.

Was The Funk 1337 at zelda when he was young?

that music...

that timeless music

iamq:
Was The Funk leet at zelda when he was young?

I'm not going to say yes and I'm not going to say no.

I'm just going to say that I could beat OoT in a single sitting, with Biggoron's Sword before I even beat the Forest Temple.

Just sayin'.

H4X.

Oh my god. That was hilarious. The whole time I was just waiting for him to open a chest.

Ah...Machinima never disappoints.

I have to say that the music really does take me back, makes me want to play again.

That.
Was.
AWESOME.

This. The 'open treasure chest' jingle is what made all those hours trudging through the dungeons so rewarding in the end. I might go so far as to say that the jingle was more rewarding than the item you actually received. ^^

As has been mentioned, a well-deserved A+. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go cry in the corner because I don't have an N64 anymore.

....

no... just no, it´s the worst crossover i have ever seing

i´m sorry, i dont see the appeal in putting sounds of a memorable game into Halo 3 and say it "nailed" the feel of a clasic, it doesnt in my oppinion.

but nice effort after all.

don't see anyone hating on halo right now, that was pretty cool I never played any zelda so I'm a little out of context but still, cool.

Very nice.

that was so epic, need to go find my Zedla Oot and play it now.

that was funny

Lame. I got a "This video is private" message.
Do I just suck, or what?

Is it only me that has trouble viewing the 'private' video?

Imperfect though this may be, it was an interesting (and nostalgic) little video. I especially got a kick out of the Start menu at the end.

Bloody shield eaters..

Nostalgic, if anything.

Um...the video is a private video.

private eh? that's a damn shame... can't watch it

-Forget all that was in this post. I had a little trouble with the vid as well.-

Holy crap! The attention to detail here is fucking incredible!!!

I <3 this video. It is made of win.

That's all I have to say.

i remember when i was little i used to be so afraid to play any dungeons in this game that i never got past the third one haha i would always have my older brother do the boss battles too

*sigh* I wish link could jump like that...

THIS DUDE SUCKS BALLS ... at Zelda. This is one of the coolest things I've seen, in all honesty. But how dare he get hit! I could beat him with just 3 Heart Containers!

But yeah, this is pretty freaking baller. And Halo looks funny when it's from the 3rd Person view...

The nostalgia there was incredible, the puzzle solved, boss and chest tunes all brought back fondest memories. Bravo good sir.

Wow, this is pretty impressive if you ask me. But then, I was never one for techological details anyway.

Despite my dislike for Halo I actually thought that was well done.

*sigh* Such wonderful memories.

definitely top marks for effort, and the platforming bit was nifty. Reminds me of the shit I used to get up to on forge...
