The film follows much of the same plot as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, albeit with a heavily altered/truncated storyline. However, when asked, Daniel Bass (one of the three producers) said, "We've taken characters, creatures, and story line from the game, but for the sake of the creative license, we made changes. The intent was never to remake the game line for line, scene for scene, Rupee pot for Rupee pot. We have taken elements from the game to create our own thing." It also says in the credits that the movie was "Based on Characters by Shigeru Miyamoto and Inspired by Nintendo's Ocarina of Time", not that it was a direct adaptation.
