On April 1, 2008, IGN released a fake video trailer that they claimed to be for an upcoming ''The Legend of Zelda'' movie. The video was very well put together and had very good quality, which led many Zelda fans to believe that a movie actually was being made. On April 2, 2008, IGN announced that the trailer was part of an elaborate April Fools Day prank. This announcement upset many Zelda fans who had fallen for the prank. | On April 1, 2008, IGN released a fake video trailer that they claimed to be for an upcoming ''The Legend of Zelda'' movie.

In April 2008, Jon Leung of VGMaps.com created maps of the third game in the [[Oracle Series]], which he dubbed the "Oracle of Hours". Oracle of Hours was the fan-given title which often refers to the unreleased game, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage]]''. The maps were extensive, and covered the entire [[Overworld]] map, for both day and night. There were also detailed maps of the numerous [[Dungeons]], as well. This was later revealed to be an elaborate April Fool's day prank. | In April 2008, Jon Leung of VGMaps.com created maps of the third game in the [[Oracle Series]], which he dubbed the "Oracle of Hours".

On April 1, 2009, [[Hyrule.net|Hyrule.net's]] Dustin posted a news release about a Zelda [[Wii]] game that would coincide with {{ST}}'s plot. There was also a [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|''Wind Waker'']] style piece of art that went along with it, as seen to the left. The post was as follows: | |||
:"Today Nintendo surprised us all again by announcing the long-awaited Zelda for the Nintendo Wii. "Letters from the Past" is the next installment of the Zelda series and will integrate with Spirit Tracks. According to Nintendo, the only way to save Hyrule is to deliver top secret letters into the future so that future citizens can use this information within to protect themselves. 'Past Link' will send letters into the future for 'future Link' to deliver. This explains the train in Spirit Tracks. Without it, there would not be enough time to deliver the letters. This is why past Link must depend on future Link. Nintendo hinted today that there may be a little romance involved as well. Perhaps Link is going to deliver a love letter? More details to come." | |||
