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/!

Godspeed, anon.
No.294
>>292Thank you. I will try to work on it as fast as possible to get it done for you guys. I need to wait until I can talk to my friend about it, though.
No.296
Good luck. Best suggestion: only post about it on anonymous places. Save yourself legal trouble - though whether or not Nintendo cares is seemingly random because they don't care shit about Mother4.
>corrupting the Triforce of Wisdom
How does the Triforce of Wisdom even work? Guiding her to the correct answers?
No.299
>>296First of all, thank you.
Nintendo won't give a shit unless I'm trying to make a profit, which I'm not. I can create my own original games for those purposes.
About the triforce of wisdom, I think it basically gives Zelda the power of knowing right over wrong in a deeper aspect, and just being generally smarter. When the triforce corrupts, its because she made too many wrong descions. Its kind of supposed to be a more modern twist on Zelda, sort of like dictators being corrupted by their power.
No.303
>>290I'm not entirely sure how you could do this in classic zelda style.
Also Rebel king Ganondorf, or no ganondorf at all.
No.304
>>303Basically, you play about 1/4 of the game as Link, and then the other 3/4 as Ganondorf. It will be played in the same format as classic zelda:
>Topdown>Little guidance and increased difficulty, but still receiving storyI am intending for the audience to be more experienced Zelda players, who want a new, alternative Zelda game. It'll be easy enough to design.
Could you give me some more information on Rebel King Ganondorf? Basically just a basic character overview, and what he should look like.
No.306
>>304>1/4 of the game as Link, and then the other 3/4 as GanondorfThats a little eh. You should just make all three champions of time playable.
>Chapter 1:Courage. Play as young squire link, with friend Ganondorf. Journey for great justice, and friendship. Ends with Queen Zelda knighting Link but exiling Ganon, and trying to kill him
>Chapter 2:Power. Play as exiled Ganondorf as he finds macguffins to raise his army in the gerudo desert. Ends with a one on one fight with link but when link can't land the killing blow Zelda trys to kill both of them instead.
>Chapter 3: Wisdom. Play as Pirate queen Tetra. Have fun pirate adventure till you pick up two stowaways and basically do wind waker redux Thats all the dumb bullshit I can think of right now. I'll come check the thread tomorrow if its still up.
No.307
>>306Thanks for the idea of splitting the game up. I like it. Chapter One and Two I like, but Chapter 3 sounds a little meh, to me. I think its good left at the 2 chapters, but I just might be able to fit some playing as Zelda in.
No.308
I have an idea, instead of focusing on Zelda and link why don't you make a game from the prospective of a Goron doing missions in Goron city and making up your own back stories and missions. Just a thought.
No.309
>>308It's not what you said but now I'm imagining a Goron Fortress.
>>299>Nintendo won't give a shit unless I'm trying to make a profit, which I'm notI was thinking of a fanfilm they had shut down and forgot about the Kickstarter.
No.313
>>308That would be interesting and its a great idea, but I would still like to work on my original ideas. I might possibly work on that after this game, or somone else on the board that's in to game design could pick it up as a project, but as of now I don't want to drop a project that I already have plenty of ideas for.
>>309Was this film small, or generally large, because I think that also factors in there, and if it had a kickstarter, then they were making moneyy off of it.
No.314
>>313>Was this film small, or generally largeI don't remember. I just remember it was a Metroid fanfilm.
No.318
>>314So they shut down production of it? Darn. I would've liked to see that.
No.328
So, right now I'm working on the basic engine of the game. I'm working on it with my friend, because two programmers are better than one. Making the engine will cause the rest of the production of the game be alot easier. So, at least I'm making progress.
No.382
>>290
Sounds interesting, but I can't really see Zelda becoming corrupt like that. Unless it's Hilda in disguise, crazy witch.
