Can't.
If The Legend of Zelda is not on your interests list, hit the Back button now.
This trailer is clearly an April Fools' hoax. A very well-done hoax, but a hoax nonetheless:
1. The trailer was released on April 1st, which was also the given release date for the movie. Case closed.
2. IGN Entertainment was listed in the credits. I have yet to see that in any real movie.
3. The flashed image of Ganondorf when Link reached out for the Triforce was blatantly ripping off The Fellowship of the Ring. (Wait, I get geekier...)
4. Ganondorf himself was sloppily done. Nobody could take him seriously with that lion's mane.
5. The trailer appears to be based on a combination of Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess (story seems more based on the former, but the scenery seems nearly directly lifted from the latter), but then we get the apparently random inclusion of Sahasralha, who is from A Link to the Past. We're jumping all over the timeline here!
6. Watch the trailer carefully and you will see Link wielding his sword with his right hand. LINK IS A LEFTY! Any devoted LoZ fan would catch this mistake.
7. No. Way. Would the Triforce be as accessible as the trailer indicates.
So why do I even bring it up? Because at the same time it's a little disappointing that it is a hoax. I would really like to see what a GOOD Legend of Zelda movie would be like. Why do I capitalize "good?"
This is why.
