Tales of Hyrulia

[Joe123]

I've been working on this quest for about 4 or 5 months now, and I thought I'd post it to see what people think. Its by no means finished, im only half way through level 5, but I've done the overworld up to there, levels 1-4 and an optional level A if you can find it ;). I'm quite proud of it, but its probably not that great, being my first quest and all. If you notice any bugs or anything worth pointing out, I'd be glad to know. Plays in ZC2.10, thanks erm2003 :P

You might also want to specify what version of ZC to play it in. :)

[ms_zelda_lady]

[Joe123]

It works when I try it :confused:, you need to click 'download for free with filefactory basic' and then 'click here to begin your download'

[Joe123]

Can people please play my quest and tell me what they think ¬_¬

I have a better link to it now aswell, which should open in its own window with no ads or anything

There's a major bug in your quest right at the beginning of the game. When you speak to the guy in the village who gives you magic the line for magic doesn't show up and you can't use the candle that you get in the first dungeon.
I'll be happy to beta test it if you fix the problem with the magic.

oops... mustve gone a bit overboard when I was resetting the init. data from when I was messing with level 5. Sorry about that.

Ah, I had the start and max the wrong way round >_<

Maybe if I add some pictures it'll attract some more attention...

[Steelerfan]

I just finished level 1, it looks good so far :) I'll play some more tomorrow and let you know if I find anything.

[Joe123]

Wooo... noone seemed to be expressing any interest, maybe I 'advertised' it wrong or something :p well thanks mister, you've restored my interest in making it, ill get that level 5 done sometime soon

[bluedeath]

I'll help test. Im downloading right now.

[elise]

Just played level 1-2-3 and 4 looks great sofar missed some sounds when chests popped up but enjoyed the levels ;)
It gives it a strange feeling that you can't walk over the normal grey floortiles
found the wallet and the second sword , a few heartpieces , have 3 bombupgrades
got stuck in a wall in the middle in level 4 with stalfos and boomerang triggers
Don't stop this has everything to get a good finished quest ;)

[Steelerfan]

On the overworld, there is a little red building that you can stand on the music symbol that's kind of hidden behind a tree. When you play the flute and the door opens, there is nothing but a dark screen, and if you walk to the right or up, Link goes "off screen".

Elise, where did you get the 2nd sword? I found a guy under a bombable rock, and I couldn't pick up his sword with 5 hearts.

I hope you do finish making this game, it so far has a lot of potential ;)

[elise]

I went there after level 3 so I had 6 hearts and got it ;)

[erm2003]

There are enough heart pieces to get the second sword before level 3. It might help with the boss in there. I got to level 4 and I am working on that. Ran out of bombs though so I need to get some before I can continue.

Two things... 1) The building that looks like the Witch's Hut can't be entered. I don't' know if this was intentional or not since you are still working on it.

2) Sometimes enemies in dungeons appear in places and you can't kill them easily because you don't have any long range weapons in the early parts of the quest. For example, in level 4 there is the room with the bombable square. Sometimes one of the enemies will appear in the lower area and you can only kill it with the candle or possibly a bomb, but then it's easy to run out of bombs quick. If you meant for that to happen fine, but if not you may want to consider placement of enemies in some of those rooms.

There are some nice tricks though. Good job so far.

[Steelerfan]

Yes, I noticed that in the witches hut also. What item do you need to get past the little x's on the overworld?

[elise]

There are more areas you can enter and are not done yet but this is still a demo
like those x tiles just block your way to a not done thing , you can also swim down right out into the black world :P

[Joe123]

Elise, what room is the wall you get stuck in level 4? There are no rooms with boomerang triggers, its all 'strike', do you mean the room with the up-down blocks? and how do you get stuck?

Steerlerfan, the building on the overworld isnt finished yet, its going to be a mini-dungeon that you need the spike boots for, which are in my half-finished level 5. You need the 'complete game making process' item to get past the little black crosses :p they're just to show there's nothing there yet. The ones near the forest are going to be a desert, and the ones on the northernmost screen so far are to the final area of the game.

Erm, thanks for noticing the witch's hut, the combo was accidentaly completely solid. It is finished inside, you'll need the letter, and you'll be able to buy the book for the wand from there later on, though im not quite that far yet. In the room with the goriyas you can't reach, to beat the block puzzle you *have* to bomb that block anyway, so I didn't think it made that much differnce that you have to bomb it to beat the monster. If there's anywhere else like that, I'll be happy to fix it. You get the wand soon in that level, so shouldn't be a problem after that, but as the lack of long range, I think its strange how people always give the bow so early - a white sword strength hit at any point across the screen for the cost of only a rupee? It seems to powerful to have that early on - it shall be in level 5 when it's done.

And as Erm pointed out, you can get the white sword before level 3 by getting the four pieces of heart, I thought it was a little two obvious/easy if you could just get it after level two, its so early on in the game, so I made it available then but you have to work for it.

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll get a move on with it soon, I'm getting sidetracked making a FFA tileset though :p

[elise]

Elise, what room is the wall you get stuck in level 4? There are no rooms with boomerang triggers, its all 'strike', do you mean the room with the up-down blocks? and how do you get stuck?

floor 1 top left don't know how long your arms are but links aren't long enough to strike those triggers :D
I used the boomerang from the downside ,moved , and somehow I ended up on top of the blue wall

[erm2003]

In the room with the goriyas you can't reach, to beat the block puzzle you *have* to bomb that block anyway, so I didn't think it made that much differnce that you have to bomb it to beat the monster. If there's anywhere else like that, I'll be happy to fix it.

Often though the goriya will appear blocked in the lower left inside where the movable blocks are and it isn't within the range of a bomb when you blow up the box I think. This also happened a bit with vires in level 3. It's not something that has to be changed but I just thought I would point it out.

[Joe123]

Oh I dunno, I'll stick down a few enemy flags, its not too much effort I'm just being lazy. The vires are a problem though, I may have to change them to different monsters

[erm2003]

Or, like you said, just stick a few enemy flags down in places that won't make them trapped in.

Keep it up though. It does look good.

[sctmorgan]

I would like to test your quest but can't find the link. Can you advice?

[elise]

follow the link in his sig ;)

[Joe123]

Yeah, click the link, then 'Download Now'. Tends to take a while for the page to load for me for some reason, but it works if you're patient.

[sctmorgan]

Got the download. Thanks a bunch.

Joe123 I'm playing and have reach lvl 2 but I can't figure out what I'm suppose to do in the room on the top left. I heard a tune after I kill the 4 enemies but nothing happens. I'm able to bomb the wall on the right. Also, I'm missing a key and I assume this room holds the key. Any hints???

[Joe123]

'The room in the top left' isn't too specific &#172;_&#172; In that level, you might think there are a few 'The room in the top lefts' ;). Which enemies are they? What's in the room on the right? Do you have the whistle?

[sctmorgan]

No, I don't have the whistle yet. I'm looking over the overworld again for the whistle or the bracelet.:( Hints.:D

[Joe123]

You'll find that both are in the level. Try poking around in the entrance room a bit. There aren't many things you can get between levels 1&2, try again between 2&3 if you want new things.

[Din]

I guess I'll beta test too.

[Joe123]

Hey thanks. I haven't made any in a while really. I did a lot of fixing up the graphics in levels 1 and 2, and a bit on the overworld, a little of level 5 although it's not yet playable, and I've planned out the caves into level 6. I've been colouring my FFA tileset. I'll get back to it in a week or so maybe. I would like 2.5 sometime soon though &#172;_&#172;

[SpacemanDan]

Those screenies look very interesting. I'll definately have to try this quest out.:)
