The Legend of Zelda: Darkness of Time

[Masterlink23]

HI i am a general speed-runner of The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time, i am 14 years old which i will get sh** for, but my ability to do something doesn't stop me from something as small as "age". I am aware of texture editing, modeling, and map editing but i still need the work arounds. It's nice to meet you all, hope to see you guys in the future lets get to it, i wanted to start a new project for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time! It will be similar to URA but not exactly, here are some things you must know. 1). I am not experienced with ocarina of time modding, i know the tools and i have played around with it, but just don't know my way around it. 2). I need people, experienced people, i need you guys to help me, i will do whatever i can to help, i will do whatever you guys ask, and whoever is the most experienced and is the most familiar is the one who should lead the project. 3). I am 14 years old, which is probably a setback and everyone of you will be complaining such as "you're 5 get out nobody likes you just f***ing leave!" So for that let's put that behind me.

You guys can call me MLink, i know i am lame, some of you probably already stopped reading the thread after the 3rd one i understand sorry for being young.

Here is the story:

This game will take place after Majoras Mask, but will stay on the Ocarina of Time engine. The story goes like this. Ganondorf after 7 years of his power has been finally defeated, sealed away in the Evil Realm, he will no longer be able to bypass or horrify Hyrule no longer. The Hylians,Kokiris,Gorons,and the zoras celebrated as the darkness of the evil king was finally casted away. The Hylians had to rebuild The Castle, Zoras had to defrost Zoras Domain, The Gorons had to keep Death Mountain at a nice cool temperature, the Hylians at kakariko were forbidden to go into the graveyard until the darkness into the Shadow Temple was finally sealed off for the safety of them. The Spirit Temple remained asleep, free of evil. But they forgot, Ganondorf even inside the Evil Realm wields the Triforce of Power, After a year of the events of Termina Link returns to hyrule to find out everything is dark, everybody is out of energy nobody wants to do anything then *BAM* Link was knocked out, dragged into a prison cell inside of castle town... 1 year later he will awaken from a coma and realize Ganon is alive... and he knows, what he must do.

Alright so that's basically a rough draft of what will happen here are some ideas of what i believe will be inside the game.

1). Link will have to travel from the Dark world and the Light world similar to a Link to the Past!

2.) Medallions will act as spells

4.) The characters animation will be slow and they will be glum, but if you do a good deed they regain light inside of them!

5.) Temples will be, Castle Town of Darkness, (insert fire dungeon here lol no name feel free to give some ideas), IceBed ( ice temple as child link), Light Shrine,Dark Sanctuary, Poison Cavern, Electric Grotto, Sky Temple.

6.) 20 Hearts and a full magic meter!

7.) Wish to use Medallions in puzzles such as Light medallion will need to shine onto an object that requires light.

8.) there will be a Hyrule

9.) Link will be young link, when he obtains the master sword the sage will tell him he may not go back to his former self because you have taken on a deed twice you will stay as an adult *link will nod*

10.) Boomerang, Bombs, **NO BOMBCHUS, BOMBCHUS WILL BREAK THE GAME ENTIRELY AND THEREFORE IS BANNED!** The reason i say this is because you can literally hover with bombchus, megaflip, mega sidehop, and do a lot with them, Bombs may break the game but it's not as bad, Clawshot * i wish to change the model to a claw*,Dark gauntlets and Light Gauntlets (i wish to be able to change the gauntlets but if that becomes an issue i can call it the Balanced Gaunlets) ,Magic beans (maybe), heart pieces, First sword you will get will be called the Embedded Blade which will have a swirly dark and light around the blade * similar to MM's razor sword*, Warp songs of course, new songs,Medallions will be spells, There will be a Master Sword, There will be a shield for young link that will be black and in the shape of the hylian shield but smaller and the design will be made soon. Another shield will be a shield the can reflect Light and Darkness, and the Hylian Shield will make a comeback but with a better design. Bow and arrow with Dark and Light and Ice Arrows ( light can act the same as fire i hope ), slingshot, there will be no farores wind, dins fire, or nayrus love while those will be replaced with the medallions, And of course there is more to come if i get a team maybe they can help with the ideas

 

Alright so of course i have no screenshots no nothing, i know you guys will probably turn me down because of generic dark and light, i mean this is only the beginning, but of course i will probably not be taken seriously here but for those of you who do please message me, i can't do this stuff alone because again not very experienced.  

EDIT: Wow how could i forget, the Ocarina will change colors meaning dark world the ocarina will be black and the light world it will be a soft white!

"i am 14 years old which i will get sh** for"

My friend, you overestimate the age of a lot of the people here. As long as you stay mature and don't act like a child no one will notice.

Anyway, It's great to see more projects like this. Keeps the communities blood flowing.

Also, there's an introductions sections, you might want to visit it. Really, this community is not like the rest of the Internet, you're safe here. The worst flame war I've seen was over trailer 3, but, that's another story. Enjoy your stay.

as long as you stay mature its fine, infact you didn't have to tell us your age, we really didn't care and wouldn't have looked.infact I wouldn't have known your age if you didn't say it. age doesn't matter much here.just ideas, skill, teamwork and support matter.

[Masterlink23]

Believe me, i am mature, ( even though i am a child lol ) but that doesn't change my personality at all, to be honest i was really upset to hear the downfall of URA that i felt like reviving it, but due to how bad it would do to the reputation around here i noticed that it broke a lot of peoples hearts, so i have decided to make my own project. But again i need Coders,Programmers,Modelers,Designers, etc. Thanks for the support so far guys! You're getting me that much closer to the real thing!

Looks like you could use some capitals too, here, A B C.

Exactly! Age dont matter here, just as long you can play it of right and stay mature about things, than your good to go.

 

Also, your mod sounds pretty good, I'm looking foreword to seeing it

[Masterlink23]

Problem is, i don't know how i can start the mod honestly...

[sairugoth]

Well, that's an easy one, you start "here"

[Librarian]

I was just about to suggest that myself.

I believe Airikita is working on edits to the hookshot.

"i know you guys will probably turn me down because of generic dark and light"

Lol, http://www.the-gcn.com/topic/2060-legend-of-zelda-tainted-blade/

One more thing, this seems like a big project, however, what you have projected seems perfectly do-able. It will take some time though. Still, good luck!

Yes it is, i am still learning some of the basics right now ( up to scrolling of time )  and really are we even allowed to bring other models from other people into a project .-.

[NoSkinnedKoopa]

Lol I'm 14 too! Haha, I can help you text edit for your project if you want. And you should check out my project, it's an interesting remake of Majora's Mask.

That would be amazing! but that's later since i don't know  how to make cutscenes and what not...

[giadrosich]

You have some very interesting ideas here. I like them.

 

Now, I don't want to be the bad guy, so please don't take what I say the wrong way. Like I said, your ideas are awesome.

 

I do, however, want to give some advice. I was in your position four months ago--I didn't know where to start with my mod. I had these grand visions of an awesome mod with all these things I wanted to implement. I was frustrated by the lack of tutorials, and sort of set out on this mission to create a pathway for newbies like me who don't want to dig through tons and tons of forum posts (ah, those were the days--NOT). Sairugoth linked you to the newbie/tutorial page, and I really suggest digging into that and taking a big bite--this is where you learn what you can do.

Start out by practicing little things. Rather than take everything on at one time (it will be tempting, but take a deep breath) and hitting a brick wall, try out your skills in the different areas.

 

Try messing with things, seeing what does what. You learn better by doing, I always say, this is why I have tutorials that you can follow along with. Try making a simple map first instead of a massive map, that way you can go through the motions of how to do things. You'll also learn how to do things more efficiently by starting out with simple things. Example: Rather than spend your time on changing actors in an entire room, start by changing just one first. This will let your brain know if you've done it right, and that way you can move on to the bigger stuff.

 

I hope I haven't come off as a buzzkill, I just would hate to see your mod hit a brick wall due to frustrations.

 

And that's another thing--don't get frustrated. We're all here to help each other out, and the tutorial thread is there to ask questions. There are no stupid questions, believe me.

No you're not a buzzkill at all, and funny thing you mentioned i have been changing actors this entire time to come familiar with it, i realized if you change a pot into a heart piece and pick it up the ZMAP will not find it in the memory, i think this has to deal with me already obtaining the heart piece, am i correct? Also i am having troubles spawning a gohma because it doesn't seem to load i am sure that could be a rendering issue or it just refuses to load through triggers of some sort.
