Over the years, video games haven't had all that much luck when it comes to big screen live-action movie adaptations. There are exceptions, of course, but one need only look at 1993's Super Mario Bros., 1995's Mortal Kombat and 2003's House of the Dead to see that sometimes, beloved video games are better off as video games.
Since much room has been left for improvement, to say the least, fans have been stepping up in recent years and making their own adaptations of their favorite games, which have proven that the key to a good video game-to-movie adaptation is passion, first and foremost. Jared Potter is a fan who's got no shortage of that, and last year he dazzled us with the short film New Year's End, set in the Bioshock universe. This year he's back for some more fun, once again giving the live-action treatment to another one of his favorite games.
Check out Jared's incredible take on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which was released for the Nintendo 64 back in 2000. Titled Skull Kid: A Zelda Legend, the short fan film tells the prequel story of the game's Skull Kid character, and how he came to be in possession of Majora's Mask!
