Well, since I have only played 3 Legend of Zelda games (Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening, and the Original) I have decided to start at the beginning.
This will deal with the time when the entire world is burning with the flame of war. Gerudo Valley houses the League of the Burning Sands, and Hyrule City itself is but a small town set admidst the turmoil that engulfs the Hyrulian lands.
*Note* It's been awhile since I've played any of the games, so excuse me for ignorance. I'll probably be going off of Ocarina of Time information. *Note*
Game Type Single Player Roleplaying Game
Learn how a great kingdom was forged, the history of the Master Sword, and the dark secrets of Hyrule in an age long forgotten.
The truth is, I haven't touched Starcraft in 3 months. I thought I had grown out of it, but it beckons back to me. I do not think I can stay away from it. If I am going to, I think I have to do one last project. So tell me what you think!
P.S. I am not going to tell you "technical" details of my map, if you want to know what they are, you can play it yourself!
Sounds really neat. I once had a list by someone of all the authentic names of every unit in OoT. Perhaps you could use a few of those names because I know some things have been in many Zelda games. I'll try to find it if you want.
Yeah, that'd be great if you could. I still want some more support before I commit myself to this project.
yAY legend Of zelda the first one! I've never played it for nes cuz its to much money to buy so i just buy the gba verision.
Will you get bombs to use and you trusty sword and shield and bows! and classic enemies!
Classic games into starcraft i find are really well made...
I've only seen 2 LoZ games in B.net that were based on an actual game and not a bound, one of them wasn't set up like the actual game at all, (OoT) and the other one was ok, Link to the Past). I think people find it hard to incorporate all the names of units and make the map layout work. I once tried, but I couldn't make it the way the map was in the game. I'm sure you could do the first one though.
I thoroughly support the project,
Actually this project is going on hold for a few days until I get back in the rhythm of map making. It has been a few months you know! So until I begin this newest project, I am making a short movie map to get the hang of everything, though I'm realizing that I have retained most of my former skills. Perhaps disuse has actually sharpened my abilities. I realize once more how I love making maps. Everything seems to be going much faster than before. ETA for anything? I have no idea. I'm pretty busy right now with the Pennsylvania Scholastic writing competition and an upcoming science fair. So how much I get done depends on how much time I can make for myself.
And I think some of you have mistaken the intent of this map. It's not really *based* on any of the the games. Instead, it is my own little story that I am creating, so I can fashion it more freely, being unbound by a strict storyline. This could be a large file map, but I intend to use SEN's nice bandwidth
to its fullest extent. Since this is probably the last map I will ever make for Battle.net (maybe my time with Blizzard is at an end... *sniff*) it will be open-source. I couldn't care less what you guys do with it.
Neat.
Won't want to see you go..., but you can go with a bang.
You have my full support...
LoZ were and are still one of the RPG's that changed the world. When I first played a zelda game it was for SEGA... I can't remember it well then I forgot about it... Then I played Orcania of Time and it astounded me... I was amazed and imideatly bought it.
It still is one of my favorites and I have sold all my other games for 64 exept Orcania.
.
Once again... It would be great if a map makers that I know is good will make a zelda game... This could be one of the best zelda games out there!
PS: Have link be a uncloacloacked DT it will look cool and he will have 1 sword... not 2 like the zlot.
Well, I am rusty. I'll have to look up how to uncloak a dark templar again. Don't worry about me though, I'll do this by trial and error. It should come back to me as I do it, like I've had a little amnesia. It is Thanksgiving however, and I must attend to my family duties!
You can't be rusty. Knowledge of how to make SC maps is like riding a bike. Well I'm sure the map will be great, but I do wish you could at least tell us of some of the new or cool features at least... But ok I will wait.
You don't touch a map editor for 3 months and tell that to me again, ok?
*Edit* I just picked up a copy of Finale Music Composer. I'm just getting the hang of this program, but what do you think of this little part?
UPDATE
Storyline
The Characters:
-Jor Hy-Farulan (protagonist)
-Marafel (beautiful heroin)
-Garen (Jor's childhood friend from Gerudo Valley)
-Valcor (mysterious prophet character)
-Althor Amaren (king of the Gerudo Kingdom)
The Setting:
Jor awakens to an average day in the village of Pulimian (settled in the area of Hyrule Castle). The Gerudo Kingdom rules of course the Gerudo Valley, the temple situated there (a claim, but they do not inhabit or even visit the place), the plains, Pulimian, and Kokiri forest. The Gorons and the little fishy creatures (it's been too long) have lordship over their own domains. The lake on the other side of the map is open to all, and the rest of the temples are simply mysterious places, often revered because of their grandeur, though little is known about them.
In other words, the people are ignorant.
The temples, once created by the three goddess figures (I'll look up the information later) have been tainted by their own power. Without the goddesses presiding over them, with time they became evil. Even now hobgoblins are being introduced into the world, the dead are awakening from their slumber, and the lordship of Gerudo Valley is being tainted.
It is only a matter of time before war erupts between the kingdoms.
You will roleplay as Jor, and from time to time you will have cutscenes with the other characters, and sometimes they may even aid you in your quest. I could see this spanning several maps. Testers interested? PM me, though it could be a while before I check it.The fishy things are called Zora's
I think thats what you mean... I would be glad to test it..
[OFF TOPIC]
uh, theoddangel, they never created a zelda for SEGA... it was nintendo's game you may be thinking of the original nintendo, or super nintendo, but not SEGA.
[OFF TOPIC]
Felagund, w/e happend to your other LotR map Dagorlad? I was looking forward to it..
[ON TOPIC]
Looks cool, I have always loved zelda ever since I first played OOT, then I played them all after that from LoZ to Wind Waker. When do you think a beta will come out for the first map? I'm guessing somewhere in the next 2 months...
[OFF TOPIC]

-- Zelda games you earn Armor & Weapons.
-- The chicken rage would be really good for scenery systems.
-- The swim suit thingy is Blue Tunic and allows you to breathe underwater.
-- He'll need keys if it's a Zelda map.
-- Master Sword is the main weapon of Zelda games.
-- Mini-Games would be cool if you earned a rare item and it had something to do with the sory-line.
-- If you add Epona (Horse), make a
Carrot System!
-- And i think you should make some
mind boggeling puzzles and
intense action! (Those are what make up Dungeons!)

Not always so, especially in the earlier games, back then it was blue flippers you recieved from a ugly zora in the northeast of Hyrule.
Ya hes right....
The GBoyColor Zelda games you would die if you tuched deep water...
Once you found the flippers or the Mermaid Suit (Who thought of that...) You can go in the water and swim.
Personaly because ur making a zelda rpg with new characters you should have a holy knight (not playable character) Have the master sword and at the end he dies by the last boss while fighting (or sooner ... During story) and you pick up the sword and destroy the boss...
If you need anyhelp I am willing to help you
That's a good idea. Give me some input on a story - this can be a game by the masses for the masses!
Last update on story!!!
Only the Gerudo Temple has been created - the others have yet to be built. The Gerudo threaten the very existence of the world. Your only hope is to gather the original sages and construct temples to channel their energy (these are different sages than from OoT). I uh... don't want to release any more information on the story!!!
ADDITION: 1. Just to see if I can double-post (how cool)!!!
2. I'm sure I have a reason for this...
Oddangel that was a great idea! Having a holy knight on the god side and when you go to fight the boss, you watch as he dies pick up his sword and fight
Yes, Odd, that was brilliant.
Is this going to be one map, or a campaign?
I HAD A GOOD IDEA!!!
So... Do you have a finalized story?
Mabe you could have Ganonondorfs (cant spell) Father or something...
Make sure you have the deku tree because as i recall he was there before almsot everyting else.
1 256x256 map (approximately 3 hour gameplay, large file)
Alright, some quick features before I get kicked off of this computer:
-Keys
-Bombs (Ideas?)
-Jor's Bow
-The Master Sword
-Suits, Tunics, thingies
-Ganondorf's Mentor
-The Great Deku Tree
-Gerudo Kingdom
That's all for tonight!
Actually, this is going to take a backseat to my Call of Duty Russian campaign. Goodnight!
I like this so far. I support anything Zelda ever since Ocarina of Time, as long as you come up with your own plot, not the same ole story.
I cant belive how much mins u get
ya but im stoping the gay forums i feel sad for that
[CK Edit; what the hell are you on about?]
Alright, I'll create a trailer for this right before the holidays! This will be paired with my Call of Duty maps for a double-pack of great maps. I'm thinking 3 maps altogether... Legend of Zelda: The Birth of Hyrule, Call of Duty: Team StarCraft (Multiplayer), Call of Duty: Assault on Kharkov. Perhaps I will include a Legend of Zelda multiplayer mini-map of sorts filled with tons of games. I mean tons! So that will be 4 maps in all. 2 multiplayer and 2 singleplayer. Happy Christmas!
Edit: I'm merging the Call of Duty thread into this! All Call of Duty posts come here now!
