The Legend of Zelda: Essence of the Triforce

[Chaotic_Death]

+++ THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: ESSENCE OF THE TRIFORCE +++

Yes, this game is made in RPG Maker 2003, and no, I am not changing to Game Maker, TGF, or anything like that.  RPG Maker is easiest for me to use, and I’m most skilled with it that with anything else, which you can see for yourself if you play the engine demo.  I don’t want any posts saying ‘You should change to Game Maker’ or ‘RPG Maker sucks for Zelda games.’  To answer them right now: I don’t care.  RPG Maker is my maker of choice, and if you don’t like it, that’s too bad for you.


+++ STORY +++

A long time ago...

Before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule, they were Din, the goddess of power, Nayru, the goddess of wisdom and Farore, the goddess of courage.

Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law.

These three great goddesses returned to the Heavens, leaving behind the Golden Sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's providence, where the Triforce stood became sacred land.

That is… Until he set his sights upon it…

No, the ‘he’ is not Ganondorf, and this is not the ‘Ocarina of Time.’  It actually takes place before Ocarina of Time, to settle that.  I’m going to stop the story here, however, just to keep you all in suspense.  To the rest of you; yes, the part of the story shown is taken from OoT.

[darkrune]

Looks really good

[papercup]

Wow it looks good I like the Minish Cap look. =)

[Omegadestroyer7]

this actually looks awesome

[Chaotic_Death]

All you "This  looks good" people, there's a demo posted above the screenshots if you didn't notice :p

[maxine]

hey what program u use for that... Do you use Xp .....

I always see some custom menu system and the texts what people says looks different too RPG maker 2003.... Or is it possible for that too??

[ZeroKirbyX]

He said he used 2003 ...

[maxine]

well blind me . But how you change the text... So its not the default in RM2K3 ??

[maxine]

sorry now for dubbleposting...... I tested the Zelda dmo... I think link runs too slowly.. Not too complain AND how do you quit?? i couldent find any menu :S

[Chaotic_Death]

1. You should read the whole post.  There -will- be a menu system, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  So as of now, to quit you press F12 to return to the title.

2. If I kept Link at normal speed, he'd run wayyyy to 'friggin fast

Chaotic_death...I h8 fangames, they suck, and they give the games that they are based on bad names....

But i think this will be an exception  

EDIT: ok man, just played the demo and its awesome ^^ great job!
but I found one fault:
at the bottom of the steps, when I turned right Link stayed at the same speed as when he was descending the steps.

[Chaotic_Death]

at the bottom of the steps, when I turned right Link stayed at the same speed as when he was descending the steps.

Yeah, that happens when you collide with an enemy or NPC while you're walking up and down the stairs.  Just go through them again and your speed will return back to normal.

[Leon_1990]

yeah i know, but try to fix that plz ^^

[Dashman]

Game looks almost like the original Minish cap. I liked it, but it runs really slow. Is there a way to solve that? Hope the game is not as slow as the demo is.
