The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage is a series of web animations that were mainly produced by IGN Boards users sexualburgerking, Cellius_18 and orquiox throughout 2005 and 2006. The series was created to parody a script for a film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda animated series that was written by another IGN Boards user, Joe_Cracker, who planned to pitch the script to DIC Entertainment, the company that produced the animated series.

Background
The first of many forum threads promoting the script ("The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage - test your Power, Wisdom, and COURAGE", originally titled "The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage - A working progress") was posted by Joe_Cracker on September 5, 2003 to the IGN Boards. The first post made for the thread announced his plans for the movie, which included it being based on and using an animation style updated from the animated series, returning most of the cartoon's original voice cast alongside introducing new voice actors for new characters who would be revealed with every ten people who signed a petition to get the movie made and a short film based on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! titled "Super Mario Bros. Super Mini Movie" that would precede the main feature. The announcement was met with skepticism from other forum posters regarding the film being based on the animated series, which had a mostly negatively reception among fans at the time, Cracker's ability to make the movie, DIC Entertainment's financial struggles at the time and Nintendo not being allowed to take ideas from fans. Joe_Cracker would continue to post his plans for the movie, with skepticism from other posters gradually increasing, though some posters attempted to give Cracker advice and constructive criticism. One of the posters who had attempted to help Cracker, THESPOTLIGHT, accepted an offer from him to become the director for The Light of Courage and have the ability to edit the script on the terms that he gave credit for his work and did not alter the story or characters. ...

On October 28, 2003, another IGN Boards poster named sexualburgerking, who would later go on to co-produce the animations and form part of the DancingTriforce group, would make his first post in the thread, sarcastically praising a trailer that Joe_Cracker had posted for the movie along with appearing to prioritize revealing his planned voice cast over working on the script.

Part 1
Part 1 adapts Act 5 Scene 3, which is when Link and Zelda first encounter Majora's Mask in the script.

The video opens with Majora's Mask, possessing a Stalfos, confronting Link and Zelda in the land of Dochoth, which is represented by a plain lined with erupting volcanoes and palm trees. Zelda asks Link what the Stalfos is wearing, and Link replies that it's only a mask. Majora then retorts that he is more than merely a mask, and Link then attacks with a Sword Beam to no effect, causing Majora to mock the hero for the ineffective attack and forcing the two to flee.

Part 2
Part 2 adapts the majority of Act 4 Scene 2, which is when Link, Zelda and Eian visit Arcadia and meet Prince Facade and Tingle.

The video opens with Eian
