The Tao of Link coming soon...

[Cepat]

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce I've finally completed my long-awaited 2 years in the making quest The Tao of Link. I'll release the quest at the end of this month, 31 October 2004.

The quest will feature 2 huge (12 x 8) overworlds, 9 dungeon levels with multiple floors/entrances, 5 elemental shrines & tons of secrets. The music is superbly nice to listen & is oriental/asian/chinese music.

I'll post some screenshots now just to whet your appetite :

Thanks Ms Zelda Lady & elise :)
It was very tough work putting all these into one quest.
I just hope it will be very playable & enjoyable when the quest is ready for download :D

Looks great, looking forward to it, Ielen!

Looks great! If I have time, I will definitely play this quest.

It's great! 2 good quests coming out this month! Tao and the other one... well just take a wild guess ;) (coughmysignaturecough)


I hope we don't "take players away" from each other but everybody plays both of our quests.

good, now I can finally back up your mega man quest onto my Zelda Classic ultimate collection pack. :P

Wow that is great. Contact me when you are done. I will not download it if it has bad language though!

[Cepat]

Thanks for the response :) Hi JayeM, does the QuestDB still accept new quests? This quest is about 3 MB & I'm including a separate SFX sound with it.

Tao is a different type of quest..something which you have not seen before but yet is the standard get 8 triforce quest....I'm not an artistic person, so the only thing I came up with was the 2D oriental pagodas & the moving oriental lantern.
The 3D pagoda is actually from LinkTheMaster & I even used Noel's Japanese Houses...they all fit in very nicely...so I borrowed alot.... DFW, I even used your trees...

Anyway the end result is that it looks very good & I am pleased with the quest. The dungeons will take some adjustment to get used to...I didn't have any dark rooms or used any corner/centre traps...but I can bet people will get lost in Lvl 1 :)

Petoe, don't think the release of two quests will affect each other...there are so many people who are starved of new quests to play. Your MMDWRDX is a significant improvement over MMDWR.

Zeldalancer, don't worry I never use any bad language...it's all clean good fun :D
I do think people will get lost around that's all I can say...

Thankyou but you called me by my game. That is all right and good job I hope something GREAT happens to you when moderaters and developers look at at your quest. I look at it and it looks like it deserves an A+ compared to the stuff I make!

[JayeM]

Yep, Ielen, we still accept new quests, but no one's been submitting any lately. :(
Soon we'll have a way you can submit them yourself at the QDB...watch for the announcement.

Looking great, Ielen. :) I'm definitely looking forward to playing the quest! ^_^ ... May I ask you a few questions though?

1) Where did you get your Sound Effects for the SFX.dat?
2) What sounds have changed? What has been substituted? (Please answer both parts of the question. Thanks.)
3) Why do some of the areas appear swamp-like? Why is the rain green? Is there any specific, plot-related reason for this that we should know about, or is it all explained in the quest?


... *Can't Wait* :kawaii:

Hi BH4,

I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can :)
1) I searched around the net & found some very funny sounds..my favourite is Ganon's sound which is an evil kind of laugh..It's kinda noisy like you're in a hardware shop.
2) Almost every sound has been changed...the dodongos sound like lions roaring...originally I wanted to have motorbike speeding sound but it sounded weird. The boomerang, arrow, bomb & fire burning really sounds very good. You can download it at the SFX link on my signature.
3) You're referring to the Orient or Taoland area? There is no traditional kind of swamp area like you see in most quests. I seldom use any watery areas..except for the beach...Orient is very foresty in some areas and sandy in some areas...Taoland is not foresty but kinda like a field area...there are two areas in Taoland which look differently...Besides that Orient is very well connected...everything links nicely...while for Taoland..a large area is well connected and the remainder just disjointed...
The rain is green because the water is green :) I tried using yellow & white rain but it didn't look nice...
Yes there is a plot but I'll reveal it when the quest is ready for downloading.

thanks for using the trees I made, didn't think anyone would use them! lol

Does Anyone Know how to get to Level 3 in Tao?
