Today, another one has been posted and this time we have Lord of the Rings actor, Elijah Wood, talking about the first time he played a Zelda game on the NES and what he liked about it.

Wow Cool, didnt know Elijah like zelda.
Lexi Z

What? He was around when Zelda came out? WOw….

Ferf

You go Elijah Wood!

I hate wow

wow is good, if you have ever played it

Anonymous

It's good.
If they ever make MMORPG Zelda, loosely base it off this!
AwesomeTingle

WOW sucks away peoples lives. They play, and get addicted. Then reality disappears into WOW. That becomes all that matters.
Lexi Z

NOt into it at all. WOW kills people in 3rd world countries because certain people make people play 24/7 for the money championships and such, and it eventually causes their brains to…well…explode. I prefer reality;)

so does gaming… you need to balance real life and gaming.

WOW is gaming. Some people believe in that philosophy that you just said, and it's a great one. But those people don't see WOW as gaming, so they figure that it doesn't apply.

I love the fact that that is probably the most true statement that could ever be spoken or conjured up on a fantasy video game's website forum. You, my friend, know what you're talking about. Zelda is the best game ever and WOW blows.

He’s probably more of a Lord of the Rings online kind of guy.

aaron

Lexi Z

TheTimeTraveler

Did you say the forbidden word?

Link

Frodo is awesome… the fact that he likes zelda makes him even more awesome.
Ryan

No wonder Elijah didn't want to play "Wild Gunman" in Back to the Future 2.

Never expected to see Frodo on ZD. 8D
DuelMark

Elijah Wood, star of Lord of the Ring, loved Zelda? Why am I not surprised?
Thumbs up if you think that if the made a Zelda movie Elijah should do Link's voice!

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3243227/ Lady Legend Maker

Nah, I think kevin Bacon should do Link's voice. If Nintendo ever DOES let him speak.

ObsidianArmos

Froto hath betrayed the Fellowship of the Ring.

aw yeah.

Frodo: "Screw you Sam, I'm going to Hyrule!"

Sam: "But Mister Frodo…"

Delani

Elijah's eyes mystify me…
cannon

http://intensedebate.com/people/Thareous Thareous

He spoke English throughout the entire Lord of the Rings saga.
TheTimeTraveler

He's American! What language is he supposed to speak?

they have taken hobbits to hyrule !

Hobbits are mortal Kokiri with hairy feet!

And Smeagol is the hand in the outhouse!

MUST…HAVE…PRECIOUS…PAPER…

http://everythingzelda.wordpress.com sikora360

are the kokiri immortal ? i dont think so

Anonymous

They never age, do they? So how do they reproduce? Born from plants, like some of the elves and fairies from fairytales? Or do they live immortally unless they leave the forest? By turning into Koroks, covered in forest leaves, they are essentially bringing the forest with them and have the forest around them.

Mr. Triforce

Elijah Wood isn't ageing because he has the One Ring.

zombieeatflesh

Wow, Zelda is getting a lot of publicity from all these celebrities! And there's even 44 minutes of Skyward Sword footage on GameSpot!

link?

zombieeatflesh

I just said the website it was on.

I don't know him. Is he Frodo from lord of the rings? I see comments that say that. If he is that's epic!

TheTimeTraveler

Yea, he played Frodo in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He's a good actor.

Triforce

Yes I love LOrd of the Rings and everyone should know who he is!

A_LINK_IN_TIME

After playing Zelda, it's no wonder he wanted to a ct in a Lord of the Rings movie!
KornGP47

Wait, wha…? O.O
PuppetSeagull

I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, but an even bigger Zelda fan… When I saw this I was like "Frodo? Frodo Baggins!?!?? OUR Frodo Baggins!!?!??!"
The Last Hairbender

This is kewl. Lord of the Rings and The Legend of Zelda are, IMO, two of the greatest franchises in all history!
I_am_Error

Maybe Frodo sailed to Hyrule with the elves at the end of The Return of the King, which would explain Link's elf ears…

O.o

MajoraMan

Cool story Bro

MajoraMan
