Forecast Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Zelda64. Was. Going. To. Take. Place. In. An. Entire. CASTLE!!?!!!?! Sheesh, I wouldn't mind Hyrule Castle being the first mini-dungeon but not as the entire hub world, that would've been mindf***ing. Also, I'm glad Navi became a Fairy and not a talking Triangle, now that would've been weird. The only development idea that interests me though is the planned scorching of Lon Lon Ranch, now THAT would've been hardcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only development idea that interests me though is the planned scorching of Lon Lon Ranch, now THAT would've been hardcore. The thing is, its not hyrule castle, its Ganon's castle. And yeah I agree, the burning of Lon Lon Ranch would of been amazing/devastating to watch, so instead they burned down Kakariko. If you also read the other articles they link in that first post. They also talk about getting 7 spells from the sages which they turned into 3 spells, one for each goddess. Also I added the 2 indepth articles as well for reading since you guys might be missing them by accident when reading the first article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, I didn't know that it had the same name as the final version at that point of development. Also, the 7 spells thing is an interesting tidbit. Why I missed that XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, OoT was almost in the vein of Oblivion(which is a first-person adventure), well screw that! I'm glad that wasn't implemented in the final version. Also, the 7 spells thing still impresses me. And I'm glad the autojump made it to the final version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason777 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I never quite knew the origins of Epona's name... now that I know, I feel a lot more respect for her. I yell at her to go faster when I fight Ganondorf on horseback in Twilight Princess and call her many insulting names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBasket Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ... "Then you could cut the signs from different directions, but then when a piece flew off and landed in the pond, since we hadn't taken care of collision detection when it hit against water, it would just fall to the bottom with a clack," he said. "Generally, you would just decide not to put a sign by the water, but Morita-san made it so the piece would float on the water. Yeah. Morita-san made that because he was certain the players would love it. Then we just wanted to put more signs by the water!" ... That part made my day.

Zurg Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Zelda needs more tragedy and death. Lon Lon Ranch getting burnt to the ground would have been an awesome addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell-Tale Heart Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Majora's mask is one of my favorite's since it's story really stood out from all the others. There's also something about the style and gameplay that makes it stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekupk5 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 @Tell-Tale Heart I like how the gamer see's more of Links personality in Majoras Mask (and personaly think it is much more better game than OOT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurg Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 And that's how Majoras Mask came into mind. Hence why most people prefer Majora's Mask. Back to topic pl0x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
