Unfortunately, this was an April Fool's joke. It is doubly unfortunate because more effort was put into this trailer than into some feature films.
I'd be curious to see what a person who was wholly unfamiliar with the source material thought of the trailer. How much of the emotion and excitement I/we feel while watching it comes from the preexisting material?

There are expectations we have from preexisting material being presented in a new medium.
I didn't play Zelda games much (aside from the one where you can hit a chicken until a dozen chickens attack you). I wasn't aware of the three concepts for triforce, and when I watched the trailer I linked, I thought those words were very abstract and unoriginal. Had I known they were the triforce concepts, I probably wouldn't have been so bothered by them...although the trailer kind of bothered me nonetheless.
The April Fool's joke looks much more convincing as a feature film than this other one.
