10 Best Short Films Based On Video Games

Inspired by the seminal Breath of the Wild, Zelda - The Blood Moon is the newest film to come out on this list. While a silent protagonist may not seem to be appropriate, this Link focused piece shows the Hero of the Wild confronted by the Yiga Clan and some mysterious entity expertly, and gives off so much charm, character, and reverence for the series it's based upon.

The Blood Moon has truly incredible cinematography, and even better music, with original orchestrations of classic Legend of Zelda songs. This music just ties together everything here, adding depth and further emotion to it. The effort put into the soundtrack alone exemplifies the production value of this fan film, and as such emphasises the level of care put into every single moment of the work.

Also, a quick shout out to the beautiful 2016 animated short Majora's Mask - Terrible Fate, as no other Legend of Zelda content has managed to transform Skull Kid's story into such a moving tragedy.
