Welcome to The Zelda Project
The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of fans who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film.
A labor of love, this project combines all aspects of art from costuming & photography to CGI visual effects. Our end goal is that we hope those of you who view our work are brought a little bit more into the world of Hyrule through our art.
Well the results are back from our first poll!
It would seem that most of you are interested in seeing Malon and Epona. We must say, we were expecting that Princess Zelda would come in first, or at least at a close second, but Sheik seems to be the runner up to popular interest. Lucky for everyone, Sheik's costume is nearly complete, and we've been planning Malon and Epona as our next photoshoot idea.
The status of the Hyrule Field/Malon photoshoot is depending on the ability to acquire a horse. Horses are expensive, and transporting them is even moreso. We've begun to put our fingers out into the Fresno, CA and Madera, CA area, where we intend to shoot Hyrule Field, but thus far we've yet to come up with much luck in finding a horse that resembles Epona. There are a number of qualities that we are interested in to achieve the look of Epona, and those are the following:
-17hh or taller
-Chestnut or Similarly Colored
-Draft Breed (white feathers on hooves preferred)
-White Mane, Tail, and Face Blaze
-Gentle Mare or Gelding
We need to start spreading the word in order to find Epona by the time the shoot rolls around, or we'll once again be behind schedule.
Fire Temple Status Update: The Fire Temple is still moving slowly. We've acquired several new concept artists who are helping us work on the terrain, so hopefully within a few weeks we'll have something to show. Please be patient everybody! Believe it when we say that we are just as frustrated as you are at the slowness of all of this!
We we have been given about 8 or so minutes of HD videos from 3DS Buzz of Ocarina of Time, courtesy of Nintendo World Report. I can't tell you guys how excited everyone here is to play this. While watching the videos, I was carefully scrutinizing the controls that were being used. I was such a fan of the N64 Controller with OoT, so I'm interested to see how smooth the playing is with the 3DS. The handler of this game however makes it appear that the circle pad is the preferred method of play, although I do like the idea of being able to use both the motion censors and circle pad.
See below for the 2 videos! Hopefully you are as excited as we are!

Hey Everyone! Sarah here! Thought since we're still in the lull of the Fire Temple situation, that I would post some progress photos of things I've been slowly chipping away at over the holidays. While I'm normally pretty terrible at documenting my process, by chance I happened to remember to snap some photos while I was working on the Gerudo Valley costumes. We have the purple guards, Aveil/Jail Guard, and then Nabooru herself. This shoot has been pushed back in favor of other shoots.
All things aside, the Gerudo Valley shoot is an ambitious project that we don't want to 'half-ass' if you will. The ideas that came out of our meetings back in the later part of 2010 demanded for a much broader time-frame in order to work on the costumes, as well as several of us being in a better financial situation, and work situation. The shoot we desire would require those of us who are blessedly still employed to take several days off of work, and we would need a larger team of make-up artists than we already have now.
Read more about the shoot and see the gallery below!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the new version of the old-new site! We've had the pleasure of working with Lord Aurasia on this wonderful new Joomla website. We owe an incredible thanks for all the efforts those of you who volunteered made, and every single email and offer we were grateful for.
Now then, please take a moment to poke around the website. A few things:
Please enjoy everyone! We'll keep the updates coming!
Add a commentHello Everyone,
Its been a long time since we updated. We apologize for that. The holidays took quite a lot of the focus away from the project, since team members were spending the majority of their time with families. We will admit, 2011 has started out rough for many of the crew, but we are hanging on! That being said, we have some announcements.

Good evening everyone!
Everyone here at the Zelda Project has jumped on board with Causeplay and their charitable cause for a strong step forward in helping children in the developing world by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. There is no bigger hope for the future than one that is populated by a world of educated citizens, so please help them and in doing so help others and yourself by investing just $15 for one of the magnificent calendars to seal the fate of a brighter future for all.
Hey there!
Navi and some pesky faeries got into our site layout and we’re working hard to de-bug. For the time being, we’ve reverted back to our original layout, but should have the new one up and running soon! Thanks so much for everything, and all of your amazing support!! xoxo
