The series is designed to be humorous and depicts Link in a "new and hysterical light."[1] Despite initial reports that suggested that the series was to be animated, much like The Legend of Zelda television show (many articles used the word "cartoon" to describe the series), it is actually a machinima series, in which a game engine is used to create video. While most machinimas are fanmade, The Misadventures of Link is an official Nintendo production, so the Wind Waker HD game engine is used with custom camera angles and facial expressions.
