    DisChineezBoi- [Sarcasm]HAHA VERY FUNNY[/Sarcasm] and since i am using Enu's battle system the game won't need like battle sprites, but if you want to make overworld sprites that would be great.

    Chesu- I checked on the website you gave me and it didn't seem as popular so whatever. Also I am going to post more when I get the link sprite near where I want it.

    Remember I will appreciate nearly any help so keep on posting so I can get a video up.
     
    Hey to anyone reading this thread, and I just want to mention that I'm also a member of the staff. Death5, I would like to mention that it'd be a good idea to post up the current members on your team. It'll show other people that the game isn't just being left in the dust.

    And just a heads up on anyone paying attention to this game, I would like to mention that Death5 and I are currently re-writing the story. It'll be a while, but when we get the new plot we'll post it up.
     
    My attempt at helping

    I don't know if this is very helpful, but I have some suggestions.
    I would include information about the first link and the very beginning of hyrule and creation of the world and triforce.
    I think (not positive) that the first link was created with the triforce to protect it from all harm and is reincarnated when it is in danger.
    I would also include information about the first zelda (as they are the only reacquiring characters.)

    PLEASE play up the huge amounts of mystery around the zelda series!
    that would make it very interesting.
    By mystery I mean stuff like the two interviews conducted in 2003 and 2007 where the creater of zelda admitted that he has a master file on his computer that details the very order of the series.
    No one is really sure about the order due to contradicting evidence but he claims that there is a order.

    Here is my attempt at describing the most inclusive, most accurate, and most likely order (Of the many that I have found) that I find most convincing.

    1. minish cap
    2. 4 swords and 4 swords adventure
    3.ocarana of time (major game in the series as well as the timeline. In many other timelines this game is the first.)
    At the end of this game (Spoiler) zelda sends link back to live his childhood.
    This results in two highly active parallel time universes. The kid path and the adult path.

    Here is the kid path in detail
    4. Majora's mask
    5. link to the past, twilight princess, zelda one and zelda two all could have occurred in any order after that. The only condition is that link to the past occurred before zelda 1 and 2 and that more than one hundred years go by between majora's mask and Twilight princess.

    Here is the adult path in detail
    Spoiler for the end of wind waker ahead. Ganon escapes from his prison and a link does not come to save them. In the last hours before the end, hyrule decides to commit all out suicide and floods itself. The world of wind waker is the flooded hyrule and the islands are the highest points in hyrule.
    5. Wind waker (100 years after ocarana of time)
    6. phantom hourglass
    7. spirit tracks (100 years after phantom hourglass in the (SPOILER) region discovered at the end of phanton hourglass.

    That is my best attempt at explaining one of the orders.
    The seasons and ages are the only games not in the list, they do not appear in any other orders that I have found either so I left them out.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    I may be a fangame maker but I am also a big zelda fan.
    After all the help that you have done for me, I thought that I would try to help you.
    Thanks for reading this huge wall of text.
    As always, good luck and thanks for the help.
    I still am not able to help though.

    Yes I am a nerd.
    Yes, I did my homework
     
    We are actually thinking about putting it in the storyline following young link and making Hyrule in an industrial revolution. If we will show the beginning of the world not sure yet we (myself and jyggalag) are still working on the opening scenes deciding what link's initial motive should be we are disagreeing but any outside ideas are still welcome.
     
    will zelda be in the game just as a viewable character, playable character, interactable character or abscent character?
     
    kk :classic:

    I don't think you will be interested but just throwing it out there,
    There is this language called blitz3d it creates amazing 3d games.
    Of course, you have to be able to use a modeling tool like blender and program a little but it is a very easy language (easier than rgss if I say so myself.)

    The reason I bring it up is that there is a tool that creates 3d worlds in zelda phantom hourglass style. You can find it at the link at the bottom. It is easy to use and has preloaded stuff. It is the last one on the page. You do have to fork over $13 but if you are going to use it it is worth it. Take a look at the screens.

    I know it is a little advanced but if you are interested I can show you some good resources to learn.

    If you are willing to help I will consider it. I am not far into the graphics portion of the game so... maybe. The only thing I worry about is the lag it would put on my computer and I want this game to be as cheap as possible. If you catch my drift.
     
    well I can't help so I think that cuts it out.
    I am still learning this language.
    And for cheep, it won't be if you choose this way.
    it will be at least $115 minimum.
     
    yeah 2d would be the way to go.
