The Legend of Zelda: The Awakening of Giratina
(Platinum Quest)
Seastorm's first quest.
IMPORTAINT: USE ZC 2.5 BUILD 1296b OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER BUGS!!!:(

Decription: A Zelda-Pokemon quest. A quick romp through Hyrule, meet some Pokemon, fight monsters and of course, get the Triforce and fight Ganon. The Triforce this time is labled under the Platinum Triforce and connected to Giratina in some way.
Disclamer - The word "Pokemon" Isn't metioned by anyone in this quest.
Tileset: PTUX

Credits: VG Music, Dlbrooks, Alphadwag, Indigant Link, Shoelace, Taco Chopper, Jupiter, Phantom Menace, Creatures inc., Nintendo, TATIO, Natsume, The Spriter's Resorce, My Brother. For all of the poeple credited and information on why they have been credited, see the readme.

The quest file itself is unpassworded because it's a beta. Will be fixing some things on Friday to Sunday due to the fact that my Laptop won't load Zquest 2.5 betas but will load ZC 2.5 and I will have acess to a computer that loads Zquest. New upload, See the readme for what got done.

Dont put down this quest JUST because it's a Zelda-Pokemon quest.

Story: One month after Link defeated Gannon in A Link to the Past, It's Zelda's 10th birthday! Problem, she has been kidnapped by Gannon, again. On the night before, Link woke up to see a large army invade Hyrule Town and saw a figure, it clearly was Gannon's. Link was suprised they didn't wake up any of the villagers, only to kidnap Zelda. On the birthday morning, Link set off to rescue Zelda, and he has no idea about the twist Gannon put to the plan... Can Link save Zelda this time, or be defeated by Gannon? Find out by playing this quest.

Now, time for some screenies! :laughing:

The Lynel Forest, the first true dungeon. Don't worry, the Lynels are weak.

Edit 3: Update!

I feel a Gannon Ban coming on!
Looks a bit plain screenshot wise. Doesn't inspire me to download and play it. Is this your first quest ever made?

A few comments from what I've played so far...


First, the readme. I suggest to support 2.5 when it officially comes out. Your forcing of a beta version automatically excludes those of other operating systems.
Hyrule Plains is very...plain. The only other feature, a long winding path with one real entrance, doesn't suit me well.
This may be due to my build (1286, Mac OS X) but the buttons in the bottom corners of Hyrule Castle didn't work for me when I stepped on them.
If you die in Death Mountain, you start in what seems to be an arbitrary position.


It feels like this quest needs some work before I resume playing.

Beat me to it...

It sounds interesting, but what do you mean by encounter Pokemon? If you had a way to catch Pokemon or something, that'd be cool, but It'd require scripting. Either way, this seems to be your first quest, so do not discouraged when everyone tells you it looks plain, and boring. They will, and it probably is, but keep at it. Everyone had a first quest/ project.

And.. not that it really matters, but I Think Zelda is older than 9 in ALttP. Even though they use Young Link's voice in the GBA game, the artwork has him looking a bit older. I'd think Zelda was the same age, since that just seems to be how they roll.

[DarkFlameWolf]

yes, my first quest was terrible. (which is why I took it down. >_>) But keep at it, play other people's quests for inspiration and you'll start coming into your own.

Sorry to get to all your queries so late, I had school today, so don't get so dissapointed. First of all, look at the first post now, I only half-posted this last night because my laptop battery was running out of charge and the edit explains it.

@Dark Flame Wolf: Yes, this is really my first quest.

@Wolfman2000: About Hyrule Field, yes I agree of you and if you look at the first post, It explains that the upload was old and stuff. I never found that Death Mountain thing, maybe it's your build, but then again, I never died there to date. Unfortunally, it's my build's fault for only supporting Windows. Sorry.

@Anthus: There won't be "encounterable" Pokemon in this because of scripting and It is still a beta, there is only 1 script in this - the real NPC, which I didn't make and this is also pointed more towards Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, maybe I'll put encounterable Pokemon in the DX verson I am planning. There will NEVER be any Pokemon to catch because of; 1. They don't know the existance of Pokeballs and they are considered "friendly monsters". 2. Ever talked to Lucario or Ninetales? They speak about the history of the Platinum Triforce, Lucario says that the Triforce only recently moved here and there are Pokemon where it orignally was and followed it here. Ninetales speaks about the five civilations that held the triforce sacred. Don't worry, you will see Pokemon other than Arceus and Giratina as well as the two I metioned above, just look around Death Mountain for a couple more and don't forget that there is a Treeko in front of the Lynel forest. As for Zelda, her age was based on what saw (and heard) in LttP, I also saw the sticker of LttP Zelda in SMBB (which also influnced it alot). I am also going with what Sgt Diriphthog (or what his name was anyway) suggested
about the timeline at PZC.

Don't worry, fixing is underway. Will upload again Monday afternoon. Hope it's better then.
I needed publicity before it's actual release so people can point out the bugs/issues for me. Like I said before, it is still a beta.
Update! look at the first post.
I'll put that sort of info into the readme, thanks. I hope people wont get discuraged by this wall of text.
Edit: Wolfman 2000, I tested out the Death Mountain thing. It came out as a cross-build bug. The Hyrule Castle issue is the same kind of bug too.
Also Edit:ATTN If anyone has the six-Dodongo room difficulties, read on.
http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab87/seastorm044/zelda011.png
The soultion as of now is to hide behind one of the bottom-most statues, if I recall, the Dodongoes won't touch you there and go out to bomb one of them every now and again, and hope you will achieve victory.
Edited this room so it has an obvious No-enemy zone.

Sorry to get to all your queries so late. ...

No worries, this is AGN after all. It definitely sounds like an interesting story, however, I'd highly recommend not putting spoilers in your description.

Maybe this thread can help you with your promotion of the quest. (http://www.zcrealm.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=398)

Just found out today. I didn't metion that I forgot to remove the red ring from the init. data when I updated, it was there for testing to check if the red ring icon was showing in the correct colours. just use the cheat code; Arceus, to remove it or expolit it for beta testing. Have fun! You should only find it in Spectacle Rock normally. There is also a easter egg in Death Mountain. Happy Hunting!

Sorry for double-posting, its been 2 weeks since my last post, but there is now an update. the reason you didn't see me for like a week was because Pineconn scared me away, also note that there is a build change as on top.
