This is a no brainer. How many people do you want to be interested in this?:p One thing I liked about all the "create a game" programs, was that they were free, and that the programmers didn't charge for its use as a "desperation" job.:)

Of course I know everybody chooses that point. I made an mistake.The download would not be for free.
That's the advantage of point 4

Well, since it won't be free period, I'd like to ask some questions:

1.How much of the program is actually done? Could you make say, a full zelda 3 clone with it?
2.Will there be any default graphics included? Are they zelda related?
3.How much do you actually want to charge?

I think the first version is almost ready.
Default graphics are included and used for combos in the editor yet.
I don't know... Maybe a more symbolic price ? Perhaps 5$.
I'm not yet 18 , so I'm not allowed to sell it yet. (German laws...)

Well, if there's any Zelda or other video game stuff, then you can't sell it because that would go against Nintendo's copyright stuff.

Kirby of Doom is right, if you put a price on it, Nintendo might not like that. Besides, who will buy your ZQuest whwn they can get The one thats out there, Open Zelda, or a number of other programs for free? It realy does not matter what you make available in your program. The price tag will turn people away.

Well, until we see what actual graphics are included, there's no reason to accuse him of possible copyright infringement.;)

Well, I'm not quite sure how many peopel will bother downloading it if it costs anything. Free Downloading is the best way to go, if it's any other way, you'll limit the amount of people who play it. BTW, what's it called?
