Looks like Shigeru Miyamoto copied many of the ideas from this movie. From the names (Gandalf LOTR and Ganondorf LOZ), Orlando Bloom looks exactly like Link in the game and many other little things.

Wait.. I take back my sarcastic statement from before.

I just realized that Link is an elf. Get this, Legolas is an elf too!!

This is a lot to take in guys, I have to go lie down.

Wait a sec... Link had a sword...Aragorn has a sword.

Aragorn rode a horse... Link rode a horse in Ocarina of Time.

These similarities are just too much to be coincidence I think.

They probably cut out the scenes of Frodo breaking a bunch of jars looking for rupees.

Actually the battle scenes in the Return of the King reminded me of Star Wars when the elephants came in to attack.
