She is dressed NOTHING like she is in the game. Now, even with bad cosplayer costumes you can at least recognize whom they're trying to dress up as. So why can't the Hero of Time crew put together a costume for Zelda that actually resembles what she wears in the game?

I have an answer to that statement, The makers of this movie did not want to copy the video game piece by piece. They simply took the story and characters of Ocarina of Time and used them as a canvas to express some of their own ideas. That's why Zelda in movie isn't dressed like her game counter-part, they didn't want to take everything from the game.

Exactly how close to the Ocarina of Time game is the film?
JM: Not close enough to name the movie after it. We felt that the “OoT” was the most promising and interesting game to make a film after. Not to mention my personal favorite. The story was easy to follow, and full of exiting plot twists. We gave the writer plenty of elbowroom to change and manipulate the story to fit the tone we were trying to set.
David Blane (producer/Link actor): Its not really just like the game at all. Not many people want to see Link spend an hour on a puzzle… The story is almost the same and pretty much identical in outline form. The only difference was dialogue, which brought on new explanations for all the fantastical Zelda world that we needed to explain to noobs within 2 hours.

One of the biggest complaints from fans is that some things they've seen in the trailer and screenshots don't match the game. For example in the game, Zelda has blonde hair, and in your movie she is brunette. Can you address these concerns?
JM: During pre-production, we wanted to bring the script we wrote to life in a very un-videogamey way. We didn’t want people to see Saria with green hair and expect the visual attributes in the game to be in the film. We actually considered vast changes to characters so people wouldn’t presume the characters to look too much like the game. For us it would have been impossible to create the exact or even similar world and costumes the video game world demands in a live action film. We took a very organic approach. We felt it made the characters more tangible. It made it easier for us to focus on the more important aspects of the film such as the acting, pacing, and story.
