How's this for an idea? Ice/Water Themed dungeon beneath Zora's Domain. This would have to be the "tricky/hard/confusing dungeon," as all water-themed dungeons are as a rule. lmao You can see where Nintendo was going to put something down there beneath the ice, but decided not to last second. I was going to do something with that area. Temple of Time Secret Chambers. By walking into a certain hidden wall in the Temple of Time, you enter secret chambers infested with undead who have existed down there for who knows how long. There, Link will find Light Arrows... Just a couple of ideas for dungeons, at the moment. I don't know if the Temple of Light mod is still out there or how to access it, but it will be a crucial part of my plan; this version will explore previously unexplored areas and ideas. I would like to make sure this new world around Link feels very empty of human/Hylian life (whichever, I don't care) to assist with the feeling of isolation associated with being a damned soul who has committed sins against humanity. Still, it is VERY important to make sure that the few people Link DOES meet have an impact. No dialogue will be wasted, and no useless dialogue. We are talking about a storyline that deals with very human emotions. Legend of Zelda: meet Edgar Allan Poe...

Huh. Never noticed. I guess it's safe to assume you guys are true fans. Kudos! Anyway, it really is too bad Ocarina of Time never made it anywhere near as far as planned. They had so much they were going to do with it, but due to the lack of cartridge memory, they couldn't go as far as they'd like. But I don't have to tell you that.

lol I think you're putting too much thought into honest mistakes, lol. I don't see what the big deal is, though.

Welcome to Lake "Hellia." You may notice the dark sky. Now all I have to do is make the happy overworld music go away... A shot of Lake Hellia with Link on top of a tree. You can't see them now, but there are several Stalfos who attack you here, as well as Iron Knuckles. I also removed the ice brick blocking Zora's Domain: it must be accessed to go to the dungeon beneath.

Some textures do not work. I have loaded them in myself, made sure each one fell into the correct location. Link's gauntlets (the red part) remained red. This is irritating. What is the deal with the patch of blonde on his neck below his hat? I altered the hair texture, and it's still blonde?

Ha, thanks, dude! I want to alter the animations so you can do more than just pound like a mofo and swing sideways, but I'll get to that one of these days.

Tainted Link walking through the Bottom of the Well. Notice the length and width of his Master Sword. It gained length and is now a more elegantly shaped weapon of mass destruction. A shot of the Megaton Battleaxe. Tainted Link swinging the Megaton Battleaxe. Just early screenshots, guys, showcasing some of Link's portable armoury.

Dammit, lol, I didn't know that! But I wasn't joking about that weird dream I had as a kid. I want to add more chambers in the Temple of Time that you access by walking into a particular wall, so you'd never know the entrance was there unless you knew to look for it. I don't know if the Temple of Light mod still exists, though. Problem is: how do I make a custom area after I set a entrance/exit flag?

I still think that's a cool idea, though. I'd love to do that, but I'm not sure how to make it happen. I can do alot of stuff, but I'm not Raptor Jesus. :/

Very early beta, back before I switched my render engine to OpenGL, so that ground looks like crap. These are modified Renaissance Magic Armour Link Textures, made by Zeth: I just removed colour and turned up the contrast. Not all the textures work, however. They didn't to begin with.

Dark Link would live at the Bottom of the Well, and you visit him to give you direction about where to go, how to do things, and gives you stuff. He's a sarcastic guide that is a physical manifestation of your sorrow, guilt, and anger; he is like a Tulpa, like Ninja-Ninja from Afro Samurai. He is a being that was brought forth by thoughts and feelings too powerful to be contained within a human heart. He talks smack, but he is ultimately there to help you in your quest for peace and ultimately, redemption. By the way, what is your skillset?

Moriya Minakata, from the Last Blade series. He is quiet, highly intellient, extremely skilled, independant, compassionate, (though misunderstood often), and he is known as the Moonlight Samurai; even his sword's name is a reference to the Moon. I like dark themes, the night, and the moon. That's why I chose him to represent me. I may have been a samurai in a past life. I think of my guitar much like a samurai thinks of his sword, and like a samurai, I take practise very seriously. I think far more highly of intelligence and wisdom than sheer brute force. There's always a more tactful way to a solution than "cheesing it to death until it works right." I am The Shredding Samurai. Keep rockin', guys. ../

Sure, I'm always open-minded with stuff like this. I appreciate it, man. Keep rockin'. ../

It's just what it sounds like. Just an idea. When I was a wee tike, I was always so intrigued by the Temple of Time, and I even had a very deep dream about the Temple of Time as a place so divine, I really can't even describe it. I can still see some of the architecture of the Temple of Time from my dream. What if there were underground chambers that lead to a portal to the Temple of Light? What if monsters infested said chambers and Link had to force them out? Eh, just an idea. Thoughts?

Yeah, I need help with text. Everytime I mess with Scroll of Time, it usually messes something up. Good thing I'm a "copy-and-paste-fiend," lol. One thing I did do with text, though, was change it so that "Megaton Hammer" said "Megaton Battleaxe" because Link's new heavy weapon is a battleaxe. Brings me to the next thing: I've completed modifying his weaponry, such as swords and his battleaxe, of course, which is good. I changed Dark Link's Master Sword to be a perfect replica of Link's in terms of size, shape, contour, etc.. Now, all I need for a team is a person who makes dungeons from scratch, because I want to make one under Zora's Domain, where Nintendo was originally going to put one, but didn't... Oh, well, these things will work themselves out in time, I'm sure.

I'm willing to accept assistance on this one, by the way, for this is a rather large-scale project. I am also very open-minded when it comes to ideas. I'd love to hear some thoughts. Thanks, guys. ../

In my "Tainted Blade" project, Link lost to Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time, and, though he survives, Ganondorf's dark power corrupts the hero, making him appear almost no different than Dark Link, and introducing darkness into the hero's heart. As a result of his corruption, his spirit went on a rampage, killing innocents and destroying everything in his path before the Sages used what was left of their power to seal him in the Light Temple to gain control of his power. Three years after defeating Link, Ganondorf filled the land with monsters and daemons, planning to unite Hyrule with the little-known Daemonic Realm. Tainted Link, now in control of his new, dark power, must repent for his sins, destroy daemons, and ultimately, Ganondorf. My project is meant to be significantly darker than the original game. There are great changes planned: - You only play as Adult Link. (Link's appearance for this project requires certain textures I'll provide in the download package when I complete this.) - Almost everyone Link ever knew and grew close to has died. - The enemy "Dark Link" plays a major role as an NPC Link actually speaks to, and is visited several times in the Bottom of the Well where he gives Link advice, etc.. He is a physical manifestation of Link's sorrow, and though he is rude to Link, he is not an enemy. - Ruto is alive and plays a major role. She forgives Link for everything he's done, knowing that it wasn't completely his fault. She serves as a kind, but sometimes "bratty" moral compass, helping Link save himself from going back to being a "monster." - The Dampé race spot becomes a dungeon. - Bottom of the Well is accessible as as adult. (That was the easy part, lol) - The Kokiri are all dead. Link visits the forest several times for items he lost during the three years training in the Light Temple. - Yes, even Saria is dead. Sorry, guys. - Because of Link's past actions, people don't trust him or like him very much, until they see he has good in his heart. People will be afraid. Key Locations: - Temple of Light. After accomplishing certain tasks, you are sent back to Hyrule. - Beneath the Graveyard. This is the place where you once raced Dampé, but now the only thing keeping you from freedom are the monsters that inhabit this dungeon. Get to the end, and you're in Kakariko Village, to see the people who hate and fear you. - Kakariko Village. By helping these people, you can slowly gain back their trust, and, in return, they will offer you very useful items. - Bottom of the Well. You visit the well where the man with the eye of truth was once imprisoned, in an attempt to come to terms with everything. After a brief clash with Dark Link, he becomes a friendly character who gives you some direction in a slightly humourous and sarcastic way. lol - Kokiri Forest. Following Dark Link's advice, you visit Kokiri Forest, only to find it destroyed and devoid of life. Only the dead walk here... - Zora's Domain. This is when you meet Ruto again. This time, with the death of her father, she is left to clean up the mess. - The Sacred Forest Meadow. It still retains its former charm; it defies the power of time. Other than a few wolfos, not much has changed. - The temples are re-vamped; Link visits them once again, to collect the Medallions. Anyway, there is so much more, but this'll give you a good idea of what I'm working on for now.

Hello, I am Samurai, and I'm a reasonably experienced Zelda Ocarina of Time modder who joined looking to share knowledge, ideas, and modifications with all of my new friends here. Give me a shout, huh? Rock on, guys. ../
