The Hero Of Time Update (01-01-10)
,----[ Quote ]
| Hey, everyone. We just wanted to let you know
| that Dec. 31 was the last day that The Hero
| of Time was available for viewing. We came to
| an agreement with Nintendo earlier this month
| to stop distributing the film. In the spirit
| of the holiday season they were good enough
| to let us keep the movie up for you to watch
| and enjoy through the end of 2009, but not
| past 2009. We understand Nintendoâs right to
| protect its characters and trademarks and
| understand how in order to keep their
| property unspoiled by fanâs interpretation of
| the franchise, Nintendo needs to protect
| itself â even from fan-works with good
| intentions.
