@Zelda Obsessed I've used AI before. I use the desktop version of stability diffusion 2.0. You can feed it reference pictures as much as you want. It picks up the reference's uniform. I've tested with the MOAR Mr Krabs before, and it will reference the shape of the actual meme, but it won't reference anything else. As you can see in the ocarina picture, just because you feed an ai reference pictures, does not mean it will pick up exactly what prompts you type into it. As you can see, regarding the ocarina picture again; an ocarina is not a exclusive instrument to the series, and it couldn't reference it, or pick it up. You can reference a triforce, but for it to pick it up in that shape or uniform is something else. You can notice in some pictures where it's trying to reference adult link, the legs are a bit fucked up. Even more advanced AI that you have to use a lot of your gpu for can't take reference pictures and use a prompt that is unrelated to the geometric structure of the AI's reference pictures and create something different. That usually goes through multiple upon multiple attempts and reconfiguring the reference prompt a bunch.

@@laynelutz5751 from my experience I tend to see the ai try to mimic popular compositions and from 90% of the Fanart you'll see online the triforce is always mid center on the shield so it's not too surprising but it is interesting how it placed it so high
Rated PG but has plenty of moments that scare the shit out of unsuspecting kids who stay up late to watch it on the boob tube one night. Very light cursing like "crap" and "Hell". One f-bomb near the end of the movie. Edited out of the VHS release. Theatrical version with the f-bomb becomes lost media. A scene that's usually edited for TV where you can see the Great Fairy's ass. Background actor obviously smoking a cigarette.
It isn't beautiful, though. Take a closer look and you'll see Link looks like a mutant in almost every picture, the hands are totally fucked, and there are weird objects growing out of other weird objects like the world is glitching.
@discipleofkrolm That's what these human artists will be regulated to-manually touching up any minor mishaps by the AI. That is until these issues no longer exist and then they'll be serving me a coffee at Starbucks. I'll even let them draw a little doodle on my cup to help remind them of the good times.
these "video game as an 80s movie" AI dumps are actually really depressing, because they look incredible and we'll never get them. in fact, we'll never get "80's dark sci-fi fantasy film"s ever again.
Also the excessive shoehorning in of real world messages, and the corporate inability to be weird and creative like all those old dark fantasy movies were. Maybe we can have it again someday?
@@DarkIZero maybe and yeah they really like beating us over the head with those messages don't they 😎 well you know that old saying that ends with the word "broke".
@@DaniloSantosVieiraur point isn’t helped by the fact the highest grossest movies of all time have been more recent films. Disney pulls off what they call the “woke” shit the most and they’re still near a monopoly. Our enjoyment of the old is a dying breed sadly.

The statue is missing an arm and its other arm is snapped and disjointed at the elbow, Link's hand is deformed and morphed grotesquely with the handle of what's supposed to be the sword, and he has a mushed double buttcheek.
A.I. anomalies aside, it looks like the A.I. rendered Link and the Zelda universe in the same way that the creators imagined, since it is heavily inspired by Western classical civilizations like the Greeks and Romans, and even Norse, with some Eastern flair thrown in.
Imagine if a film like this was made before the Super Mario Brothers film in 1993. We probably would have an entire genre of stylist AND accurate video game adaptations that probably would've been more iconic then the marvel stuff we get today. Goes to show how far companies refused to push new ideas in the industry and instead focus on "being modernized". BTW This was a great use of the Midjourney AI!
I know people will hate on ai, but things like this inspire and present ideas to make something that actually looks good and more inspired than what ai can do now.
You know what makes realistic to me...the faces...they look like faces you'd see in an 80s movie. Sharp, chiselled..like Dolph Lundgren or David Bowie.
@@ChillVillage I don't do AI. I'd rather sit in blood, sweat and tears making my own art rather than having a robot be the easy way out. They can't read your mind, so they don't always do the things you want. But it's just my opinion.
All the art is so green, haha Not sure what images the AI was trained with, but with all of Link's key art, the AI may have correlated the color green as part of The Legend of Zelda's identity.
If Nintendo were to make a Zelda movie, I hope they either choose Tim Burton or Guillermo del Toro to make a Zelda movie because both of these movie directors love making creepy and surreal movies; and this fits perfectly for a Zelda movie, like Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess.
If you havent. Could you do a 80's Starcraft 1. Maybe Starcraft 2 Or Wartammer 40K I thought you were the same person who did the Dark Souls as an 80's movie.
As an artist, I always love these kinds of magical charm and feels to old fantasy movies- I wanna try drawing this for my own stuff but its HARD AF LOL- I don't hate AI arts as they can be used for inspiration (seriously omg even the Dark Souls 80s fantasy film one as mentioned in desc!)
You needed an AI to make this, and not a sculptor? ...okay. I can say the AI got the lighting and the made-with-real-materials elements down, but anyone in the '80s could've at least afforded to give Link elf ears. Nice to see it take cues from Return to Oz and The Neverending Story. Also, if you're gonna do this with AI, pick an actor and stick with it, like Michael MacLachlan (Dune) or Lance Guest (The Last Starfighter). 0:06 I'll gladly take the Deku Tree as a Muppet. 0:20 I recognize that kid. He's too young. He looks like Adam from Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. 1:50 What a dinky sword. Lastly, it needs James Horner music.
At 0:21, young Link looks like Chucky's not so evil twin! The Great Deku Tree looks like something that never quite made it into a Jim Henson movie while what I assume are the Great Fairies remind me of the spooky crystal ball lady from Disney's Phantom Manor. You certainly nailed creepy on the head there.
I imagine this would have a title along the lines of "Hylian Warrior" or something like that, and the story wouldn't be a perfect match to any specific game but rather inspired by the general idea of the series with details borrowed from all over the series.
One day we'll me like, "Computer, give me Captain Crunch as an 80s feature length dark fantasy film" and it'll just make the damn movie
Why does that make me think ai will eventually just create a whole world for us to be willingly held prisoner in?
Don't say stupid things.

Its like looking into a parallel reality where we could have gotten a 80s Zelda movie.

Same here, my guy!
Well, I hope they remake Ocarina of Time in a realistic high graphics way so you can appreciate that game for the first time
Fun fact : the film Legend by Ridley Scott and featuring Tom Cruise from 1985 is the film that did inspire The Legend of Zelda.
That was my prompt for the AI artwork!
nah it was cuz shiggy wanted to explore as a young kid and something about caves....
lol. at least thats what i always hear in the documentary.

Ridley would look terrifying.
They did! Look up metroid 80s ai, not so much horror though
@@xAustishx yeah, I saw that a couple days ago.
That Hylian Shield looks fucking badass.
I like how adult link looks like he's always processing his new reality, and how that makes him look depressed.
What's striking to me is how the AI seamlessly blends European, Far East, and even Arabian aesthetics in the set and costume design.

I need a Link movie with the 80s look and feel Not a bland looking modern day version.
0:48 Look how cool the AI made the tower seem to be a prop and the rest of the building an green screen image. It really really sells the 80's aspect
Seems like it has a hard time processing Link's bug-eyed anime face like it doesn't know if he's supposed to be a child or a goblin or something.
A hylian!
The first image of young link!!! Is AWESOME!!!! THIS NEED TO BE IN MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! PLEEEEEEASE
0:22 just imagining that face with all the grunting screams links spits out throughout the game. very accurate. LMAO
0:06 I love the idea of a young deku tree.
This movie would be epic. The AI even got the airy misty atmosphere.
Adult Link in Temple with that disproportionate sword is 🤌
What adult Link wielding the kokiri sword would look like. lol
I gotta admit, the first few images will never leave my mind. Even when I close my eyes.
The music is so fitting
Thank you! I’m a musician so I spent a lot of work on that part.
This is what the Zelda movie should be.
Wow, about 11 years ago we had Zelda as an 80s teen movie, and now we have it as a dark 80s fantasy movie! This looks awesome❤
young link and deku tree is so cute!
1:44 Okay but… The Hylian Shield looks PERFECT. Its even got the same symbol and everything
We need a version of the Master Sword.

..damn this is already giving me some neverending story and dark crystal vibes. well done
"This movie is so bad that is good" vibes

This definitely reminds me of The Neverending Story... one of the greatest films ever made.
Okay, this would be so f****** cool if this was real. Phenomenal job dude!
I'm so impressed with the progress of the AI, this combination is amazing!!
I would go to another dimension to see this
Adult Link reminds me of what a young Jaime Lannister would look like.
That’s what I was thinking. If I were to redo this, I would prompt the bot to mimic that actor for all the images.
He also looks like Luke Skywalker
Damn, AI always get the hands wrong. But everything looks so awesome!
the kokiri´s emerald looks sooo cool man!!
Absolutely beautiful and I love the Stranger Things ish music to
This is soooo cool! Love it.
Really wish this was true, we need a live action of The Legend Of Zelda Nintendo!
All these shot look like they were made as a stop motion film way ahead if it's time.
Adult Link is high key cute
This makes me sadly nostalgic for something I never had.
I may make art based off this since I love 80s stuff and Ocarina of Time.
I don’t like Ai stuff but man I wish this was a real movie
Has anyone thought about doing this same concept for Majora’s Mask or Wind Waker?
All the art is so green, haha
Not sure what images the AI was trained with, but with all of Link's key art, the AI may have correlated the color green as part of The Legend of Zelda's identity.

Does anyone have reccomendations for films that fit this 80s dark fantasy aestehtic?

It looks GORGEOUS. You NEED to do the same treatment to Majora's Mask.

Can you do Metroid as an 80s sci fi movie?
