[Tmanerer]

Hey I'm new to the boards and I wanted to post a series Idea kinda like legends of Zelda
Ok it goes like this

Title: Lost Years Of Link: Dawns Fate
Summary: Ok you wake up in a small town called Dnier, and is met by a stange voice. It tells you that you are needed to save the kingdom, and you reply by telling it you dont know what he is talking about. And the game goes on until you are kidnapped, then you start your journey

thats as far as I have gotten

Re: Series Idea

I think the idea of a Zelda game is cool.

Making it on rpgm 3? Sounds challenging. Are you going to use the elf character model for link?

For whatever reason I thought this was a Perversion topic

Re: Series Idea

Sounds pretty interesting. I would love to hear more about the plot.

Also what are you going to do about the battles? Is it going to be an actually rpg or none at all? I would like to hear more about that.

Good to have you here on the pav.

Re: Series Idea

not good at all. you havent given us much info except to say that you plan to copy zelda. please please please get away from doing that and create your own adventure. by all means nab some elements but dont go out thinking you will create the next zelda game becuase you will not. so many have come here over the years proclaiming to create such a game and nearly all have failed miserably. however when they decided to go their own route and make a game that wasnt a copy of a well known game then they had more success.

take a look at what games this site has, try to read the reviews of the games to see what people liked about them and what wasnt so hot. i also would suggest take a deeper look at this site, its filled with resources for starting a game and what you should consider.

scrap this idea this minute and create something unique, not another bad epic spoof. the games with the most fame are those which arnt a knock off of another but ones which where unique, demonstrated that limits can be broken, and where every bit as creative as the people who crafted them.

Re: Series Idea

I say go for it!! If you wanna make your own Zelda, Final Fantasy or DQ game, go nuts. Or even make a remake. Just make it your own and have fun with it.

Re: Series Idea

I'm going to say I don't agree or disagree with what Karr is saying. I do think copying another game can be a bad idea. First off it is automatically compared to a game that you will have no chance of ever being as good. It doesn't help that you are new to the site either. We don't know what to excpect compared to some of the more noteworthy members.

With that said I don't really think it's necessary to completly scratch the idea. Because it is a new story couldn't you take the time to come up with new characters and back stories? It might be more challanging that way, but in the end it will be more rewarding. I say if it's a story you think is good and could be told through a different outlet other then through the world of Zelda then go for it.

What I say is just suggestions so don't change everything just because of me.

Me too. Especially since I heard about those game recently.

Come on, I have my own forum to post about ideas that nobody will probably read anyway....




I DO have a new game idea in mind, that's COMPLETELY different than anything else I've ever done, and is something I think that's never even been contemplated. It WILL NOT have the name Series in the title, though.


I cannot say anymore about it. Due to its nature, it will have to stay under wraps.

Re: Series Idea

its going to be different but i just didnt have time to wright all I wanted to

ok you get to pick and play as one of four players each one thas his own skills
second its on a whole new Island and has a whole different plot

it goes like this

you play as (Whatever person you choose) and wake up to a silenced voice in the shadows telling you that you are a decendent of the great Link.
Then your Best friend rushes in and tells you that there is a monster stalking the city. You then go outside and run into an event where you fight the monster. Once you defeat him you are whisked away into a school building and is given the chance to pick your main skill. Once that is over you apear into the villige again and you meet your friend there. Then he talks and night falls. You are then kidnapped then sent to a prison yard with the silenced ones. (prisoners who have lost the right to speak) and you are then after you stay there for a while sent to the far off castle on the top of a mountain. Once you get there you find that your best friend Kent is there also. Then you are met by the prince who tells you his father has fallen into a deep sleep and he is off to find the potion and you will stay in the castle until he returns because he heard rumurs about Links return and wanted the glory of saving the king himself. Kent is there because it was said that he put the monster in your village and his punish ment is to fight in the areana of death.
two monthes elapse and you eavesdrop and find that the prices has fallen in battle. The catch you and you are then knocked out. You wake up alone on a deserted island with only a rusty weapon (and if your player carries one)a rotten shield. If you explore the island further you will find a small cave, and in that cave is a sword sticking out of a rock. You touch the sword then go into a storyteller. And it tells you all about Link . You then have to find a way to get back to the main Isle. Once there you go back to the castle and is reunited with Kent who escaped the castle with a peice of parchment reading, that you need to find the prince from the princess

this game offers
1.Little battles
2.Great maps
3.Many npc's
4.Intence storyline
5.zelda references
6.many items
7.4 playable characters
8.4 main towns
9. many dungens (sorry for spelling)
10.sweet puzzles

The battle system is trigged by a couple randomly placed events on the main feilds that randomly change

And for the record I have had rpg 3 for about 6 monthes and have made 2 games already

Re: Series Idea

Uhhh... I don't like it. It seems like a crazy combination between many Zelda games. You said that at the beginning of the game that you were the characther you wanted... but when you are at the island you have a sword and shield! (or did I just misunderstand?) And your friend being forced to clen the castle for allowing a monster into town? That is just ridiculous! And another thing. You said that when you get the master sword you become an adult. As far as I know, kids can't carry rusty shields and swords.
The last part is also a bit confusing.

Last thing. If you have played all (or most) Zelda gmes in each one you are a "different link". Another chosen guy redy for adventure. You can't be his descendant! Descendant of which? You should be just Link, another chosen hero.

Re: Series Idea

Sorry about all that I went and changed the story around a bit
hope its better now

Re: Series Idea

ok, now we have something to use rather then a short blurb that says your going to rip off every zelda game.

ok you get to pick and play as one of four players each one thas his own skills
second its on a whole new Island and has a whole different plot

it goes like this

you play as (Whatever person you choose) and wake up to a silenced voice in the shadows telling you that you are a decendent of the great Link.
Then your Best friend rushes in and tells you that there is a monster stalking the city. You then go outside and run into an event where you fight the monster. Once you defeat him you are whisked away into a school building and is given the chance to pick your main skill. Once that is over you apear into the villige again and you meet your friend there. Then he talks and night falls. You are then kidnapped then sent to a prison yard with the silenced ones. (prisoners who have lost the right to speak) and you are then after you stay there for a while sent to the far off castle on the top of a mountain. Once you get there you find that your best friend Kent is there also. Then you are met by the prince who tells you his father has fallen into a deep sleep and he is off to find the potion and you will stay in the castle until he returns because he heard rumurs about Links return and wanted the glory of saving the king himself. Kent is there because it was said that he put the monster in your village and his punish ment is to fight in the areana of death.

again i want to point out that following another game is not a good idea, however i think you can make this idea work a little bit if you do not copy link but have a different char with a different name. do not direct sequel it, but make sure the story is fully your own with a nod to zelda at the most.

the story is better but should be steered farther away from past zelda games.

Re: Series Idea

I don't have high hopes for this.
