We need more games like Zelda for N64!!!

by Nick Domenicali · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 11/28/2003 (5:55 pm) · 28 replies

We need more awsome games like Zelda or conquers bad fur day. those games are worth 1 million dollars for me. the first Zelda for N64 was the best. the second one was ok but it wasnt so big and u couldnt explore so much. like in the first one the world was HUGE!!!!

Yeah so if any one has contact with a game industry that can make a game like that please let them know that there are people out there that love those games. even though they can make the same or even more money by throwing together some computer randomized people and have them fight in a ring they would make a lot more people like me happier.

Actually, those 4 years have been spent on the design process, not development. We wanted to create a very solid world with it's own religions, cultures, etc. We just recently started actual development, and we're looking at a 2 year time frame and have had numerous publishers take interest in the title (including Nintendo).

Well, my friend and I wrote the story for a game 2 years ago and we're still working on it. But sadly, the game will never be made. :(

Why is that?

Quote:The thing about Wind Waker that got me the most is that you aren't actually playing as link, just some link wannabe.

I haven't played it in awhile, so I don't remember the specifics.
Either Wind Waker hints at or comes right out and says: There has been, currently is, and always will be multiple links.

So yes, you aren't actually playing the same link in the same body, but you are in fact playing link. Plato would say that these characters have "linkness". The spirit of link (and spirits of the other characters that you "wake up" are what is important.

They touch upon this a little bit in each game. "links awakening", "Link to the past", "The oracle of seasons" "Oracle of ages" all refer to this in-game phenomenon of the link of that world waking up and slowly realizing who he really is. That is what the story is about.

Ocarina of Time was best, but I loved Majora's Mask too. (Then again, I was the one who always loved Groundhogs Day and that episode of Star Trek TNG where they get caught in a time warp - something about time warps just do it for me). I also enjoyed WindWaker. But all hail and long live Twilight Princess! 2006 can't come fast enough...

A link to the Past was my favorite, but majoras mask and ocarina of time were brilliant as well. What an accomplishment to put all those great games out.
