So, I have been inspired to start making my own Zelda fan made game. I'm going to go back to the classic Zelda, and use that as an engine. On my board, I will post the progress of the game, and what I'm deciding to add into it. For right now, the basis is this:
>Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf all start out being friends
>Later on, Zelda's father dies.
>Zelda takes the throne, and Link become her knight.
>Ganondorf is given no special treatment, and becomes a farmer.
>Having quite a bit of political power, Zelda begins to become corrupt, with her, so does the Triforce of Wisdom.
>Seeing this corruption, Link wishes to save her
>As he is leaving, Ganondorf talks to Link, and Ganondorf follows Link on his quest
>Zelda realizes Link is gone, and uses her powers to corrupt his Triforce, which will turn him into a corrupt form of Fierce Deity Link
>Ganondorf then takes on Link's quest, fights bosses and stuff, returns and fights Link, then Zelda.
>Kingdom restored to normal, everything's happy
So, that is the basis, and I'm going to get working on this once I free up some time. I bet I'm looking forward to this as much as you are. I would also encourage you to post your own ideas for fan games, helpful suggestions for mine, and other thoughts on Zelda fan games in general. Thanks, and have fun with /loz/!

I'd like to ask you guys what you think of the new CSS. Do you like the new colors? Would you rather want other colors? Or would you rather want the CSS to return to normal? I would appreciate it if you would answer those questions, so that I can change the CSS to fit what the majority wants. Thanks, and keep having fun with /loz/

UPDATE:
I changed the CSS to the dark Zelda theme, so it should look alot better now. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Here's a simple color swap for a LoZ style forest green and gold. Nothing fancy, but it's a quick look at what you can do to customize the look of things.

Great custom CSS on both.

Link and Zelda, even Impa and Tingle get their own thread, but no love for the King of Evil? Let's remedy that!
Post Ganondorf, discuss Ganondorf, tell us your favourite iteration. For me, it's a tossup between TP and WW Ganondorf. TP had the best design imo, but WW had the best characterisation - I really liked the idea of an older wiser Ganondorf who was also somewhat presented as a tragic figure unable to let go of the past. How about you?

Even if he cannot change his ways, I wish to see Ganondorf as a character confronted with the facts of his existence. He's always the 'big bad' with the simple 'rule the world' motive, and the tragic or more twisted elements of evil get delegated to secondary baddies like Zant. This has been done for good reason, but it's also making a stale character out of one with a lot of potential.

The 30th anniversary is coming up, and I think that Nintendo either needs to do something completely different with the story, or give us the ultimate confrontation between courage and power – something similar to what The Dark Knight Returns did with the Joker.

The latter could feature a learned Link or Zelda that pities Ganondorf's futility, and actually comments on the series' cyclical nature, wishing that it didn't have to go like this. Ganondorf, of course, would either succumb completely to mindless, demon-fueled bloodlust, or make the obligatory comment that it's 'too late' for anything else.

It's tropey, sure, but for good reason. I think it would add a lot of depth to the series as a whole.

Agreed. I'd love to see Ganondorf portayed in a more deep, and almost prophetic way. A Ganondorf charcter like that could weave is some great story elements and be one puzzle piece in a truly astounding Zelda game.

Your people…
They think they live off of this land.
In truth, they live only in legends and stories.
So many tattered books and pictures, speaking of the golden light of Hyrule.

They mimic only the pride of their ancestors.
"See how the fields grow, the rivers run, the wind blows…
See how we are the chosen people of the Gods."

Your people do not paint the desert.
They do not write of war.
They cannot conceive of children born to a cursed tribe.

> I also enjoy Dark Beast Ganon in TP though.

Eh, I somehow really disliked that form of his (pure?) demonic incarnation that always breaked out when he is kill or got to be a permanent in the timeline of decline were he won.

Of course, a beast makes for a good symbol of uncontrolled rage, but his bipedal pig form looked more demonic and is in line with the older games. I mean, most bosses in Zelda are demonic animals, the last one being bipedal accentuates that "finalboss!" feel imo and seems a bit more prideful then something that crawls on all fours.

Which begs the question what is up with the piggyform?

Since SS brought up Demise id think he would break out of his vessel ganondorf (or whatever he choosed before) in his godly appearance of a flaming greyscaled giant, but this is apparently not the case in any game that came thereafter concerning to the timeline.

Did demise's gregiant form degenerate into the piggish demon due to the wearing process of continuous reincarnation, as a punishment by the gods to insult his pride, or did he just choosed this form because he liked it more in the end or what?

The pig being demise when he is overcome by rage instead of a controlled state were he can appear more human is not a good explanation because the first zelda games that were made assume that ganon-piggod of evil is able to control the world and his legions of demons instead of just smashing shit while screaming in a dungeon until the hero encounters him.

This gameseria really is in need of an overaching consistent theology about how gods, their planes of existence (darkworld, sacred realm, hyrule and Termina) and their incarnations work in order to satisfie fan-autism and give a healthy basis for interesting storylines that base any deeper or tragic elements on more then speculation.

There's also theoryfags who speculate Termina may not be a real place, but a purgatory that Link created and filled with familiar faces after he died in the Lost Woods. Collecting the masks through good deeds and defeating Majora was his way of getting through the stages of grief and accepting his death. Presumably after a stint as a Stalchild he became a full-fledged Stalfos, and this is the Hero's Shade we meet in Twilight Princess to teach the new Link his techniques.


 No.392

It could also be that time flows at a different rate in Termina. 3 days in Termina could be years in Hyrule.

So, /loz/, how are you doing? Is everyone doing good on here? I'd just like to ask how MM3D was. I am planning to buy it once I have enough money, but I'd like to here how it was. I browsed the Glitches in MM thread for a while, and they seem pretty fun. I'd like to get just a general rating of the game, though. You know, graphics, gameplay, story, etc etc. So anons, what did you think?

What Zelda game had the deepest storyline?

I would definitely put Link's Awakening on top, followed by Majora's Mask, then Twilight Princess.

What I like about LA is that it starts quite normal, its only in the 5th dungeon and especially in the 6th when you start wondering 'Am I actually doing the right thing?'
By proceeding from there you realize not only am I killing the nightmares and their monsters but also the peaceful villagers and animals.
No other Zelda game has questioned the hero's motive like that ever again
(note: I didnt play Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks)

MM is just generally darker than other Zelda games and has an antagonist with a tragic backstory instead of just being evil. I like sad characters. Ganondorf's motives comparingly become a little boring (or simple) over time.

And then there is TP which again is nice and dark. This time the sad char fights on your side (well more or less) and you encourage her to stand up for her people. I quite liked it.

The other games' stories were okayish. List would probably continue with OoT, ALttP, OoS/A, WW and SS last.
Cant really include LoZ 1&2 cause i barely remember them. Played them when I was like 6 or 7 :)

So they made the bosses harder, rather than easier? That's strange. Usually they easy everything up for the newfags.

 No.250

It would pretty cool if we could get a new zelda game with an extensively deep story. It seems the most recent Zelda games have been focussing more on gameplay than on story. I am not asking for another dark Zelda, although that would be nice, but a Zelda game with a very deep story with more developed characters and villains. It would be really cool to see characterized bosses, all with different personalities. Maybe even Link could get some more characterization. Hell, even Zelda herself could use some. So, what kind of story and character development would you anons like to see?

 No.336

>>3
I'm surprised you put WW so low. A lot of it was implicit, but the idea of the new taking over from the old was probably the most mature Zelda theming to date.

Ganondorf's inability to let go of the old kingdom even though he was the only one in it, Link having to earn his place as the hero, rather than being born into it; 'I want you to live for the future!' – all great moments. The reworking of old music definitely helped, too.

I'd say Majora's Mask first, because I'm a sucker for mystery, then OoT/WW joint second, as they function best as two sides of the same coin, like Tolkien's Silmarilion and LotR trilogy. After that I'd say LA, TP for Midna, LttP for establishing a lot of the canon, and SS for Demise. I don't remember anything particularly striking about OoA/S, and funnily enough, I haven't played Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks, either.

Yeah, not the best premise, since we've already learned what happens. If Link doesn't save the day, shit gets flooded and eventually some unrelated tyke earns the title of new Hero. And there's also that official darkest timeline post Hyrule Historia. Things got bad, but not unsalvageable. Reality continues to real on.

This board is pretty slow, but it could be a high traffic board. I would like to see more anons over here, but the only way to do that is to spread it across 8chan. This could be done by politely advertising /loz/ on other boards. Just talk about the board and then link it like this: >>>/loz/ this will probably get more people to view the board. Maybe post some polite advertising advice in this thread? But, yea, this would be a nice way to get /loz/'s popularity up.
