The Legend of Zelda: Darklink

[MANDRAG GANON]

I haven't worked on Darklink for along time becasue of no full version of ZC. But I decided I should do some more work on it. Although most of the work so far has only really been graphical I have done other stuff as well, I still plan to wait until a full version is released though before I do more on stuff other than graphics.
The tiles are basically the classic tileset only I edited them abit and added a few of my own. Heres some screenshots:


Title Screen

Church in Town

A Temple

Underwater Statues

Underwater Ruins of a Town

An Underwater Temple

Giant Underwater Temple Ruins

This quest has been like 2 years in the making, I really gotta get this thing finished.

Ooh. Tell me you didn't make those annoying RED X's in your quest. Please try not to use Geocities. try http://www.filespace.org

Umm, youre not supposed to be using that icon. o.O

Hmm, guess its just a public icon.

[*b*]

wow, that titlescreen looks bizaare. especially Link, with that sadistic/insane/hungry look

the other shots look great, though, do you HAVE to use classic?

[bigjoe]

Well, he started it in Classic. I remember this quest. It's like, one of the first eight to have come out after the AGN DB went up.

Plus, thats modified enough not to be just called "Classic."

[Orion]

Hm... looks inteteresting.

That Link looks like Ed Gein a bit.

Good gosh, I remember downloading the demo for this quest years ago. Are you sure it's only 2 years in the making? It seems like it was longer.

[MANDRAG GANON]

I'm not really sure acctually....it was one of the first quests to be created....I made this before ZC was even released to the public because someone gave me a bootleg Beta. So it is possible it was prolly longer.

And Big Joe I had to use that Icon, it looks so cool and since I'm bring my quest back form the dead it suits it I think.

As for it being classic, I have modified it alot so theres only a few elements that are the original classic tiles, I haven't gotten around to changing all the pallettes so the colours are still classic colours. I still plan on only using 3 colours though. I want to stay true to the way the quest originally was, it was if not the first the one of the first to use a large amount of custom tiles while still looking like the original Zelda, which is what I wanted, I wanted it to resemble the original Zelda. I imagine it will look a hell of alot better once I change the pallettes. Eventually I plan on releasing a version in completely custom graphics which look nothing like the classic set and be entirely unique.

I have done tons of planning for this quest, almost as much as if I was making a complete game from scratch I have drawings of characters, all the maps drawn out on grid paper. I want to make this quest as fun as possible with great replay value. I want it too feel like a real Zelda game. I originally started off on this quest just fooling around learning the tools. But now I have to try my hardest to turn this quest around and make it worthy of the Zelda name.

Once I get the story out of my mind and onto paper I'll post it here.

Them look great. This quest sounds like it'll be cool. I hope to see some more shots or something soon.

Yeah, I still have an old unpass'd version of this I got off the AGN QDB eons ago...

Looked pretty interesting...nice to know it's gonna make a comeback.

*feels Mandrag's pain of un-quest-release-ness, having himself not released a single quest yet, not even his first one that's about 3 years old now*

Oh, and by the way, yer Ironknuckles've got the'r legs screwed on backerds in the "An Underwater Temple" pic. :p
