Reclamation released!

[Arathorn21st]

Hi everyone, for those of you don't remember me, I was semi-active in 2004 and 2005, learning about making quests. Reclamation is the result of many periods of off-and-on work (I didn't work on it at all from mid 2005 to early 2007).

Reclamation is a full-length quest (9 dungeons, 1 16x8 overworld, 3 mini-dungeons) designed in the Pure tileset. It's the product of about one year of actual work, although I started making it in 2004.
The focus of Reclamation is on gameplay above all else. There aren't too many custom graphics, fancy ZC tricks, or heart-wrenching storylines. However, I hope that the overall design of the quest (the dungeon design in particular) delivers a great Zelda experience. :)
The difficulty should be comparable to some of Mr. Z's quests, like Link's Birthday DX. It should definitely be easier than quests like MMDWRC and Hidden Duality.

Story!
The story of Reclamation begins as Link defeats Ganon (the circumstances behind this fight are unknown). When Link lands the final blow on Ganon, he suddenly blacks out, and falls into a strange land...

Screenshots!






Download!
There are 2 difficulties; Easy Mode is for people who haven't played Zelda in a long time. If you're a PureZC member, you'll most likely want to play Normal Mode.

The quest should be hosted by PureZC and AGN soon, hopefully.

Have fun! I'll be monitoring the boards a bit more, now, so post away!

I already processed the submission at ZC.com. PureZC takes too long.

While there are a few tile errors around the overworld, I'm impressed with the trickery in Level 1 so far. I had a busy day yesterday, so I became too fatigued to finish it. I also like the amount of adventure you allow before Level 1.

Wait til you see level 2 Pineconn. I just finished it. Had me going in circles for a while....LOL

I'm cautious to play this under 777, as I'm assuming that bug with the guys isn't just present in my quest.

EDIT: A few suggestions for a possible future version:
1)No slashable grass?
2)Can't walk behind houses, torches, etc.
3)Octoroks on the overworld occasionally spawn on unwalkable combos or weird places.
4)Make Link re-spawn in the boss room- I haven't been able to beat the first boss and have become frustrated from having to walk back so far.

Anyway, the quest looks good.

Where is the candle? I'm in the knights cave having trouble beating the 2 headed geelok. My worst enemy to beat especially with a wooden sword. Do I get a sword update before or after this boss? I only have 4 hearts.

[ms_zelda_lady]

The Knight's Cave has the White Sword. I had 5 hearts when I got it but I don't know if it's possible to have it earlier. The candle is in level 3

Thanks ms zelda lady. I got the candle and finally the sword. I went and did lv3 first so I ended up with 5 hearts. I'm having trouble finding the boss is lv4. I've been all over and can't find the way to the boss door. Have seen it. Can anyone give me some direcitons on the correct path?

Hm, those screenshots look interesting. I'll be sure to play this when I get the chance.

The guy in the dungeon tells you that you can walk behind some torches...Think about what could possibly be behind a torch, and why it would help you.

Further hint: The torch you need to walk behind is on the first floor (the floor that you enter the dungeon from).

Thanks for the help. I beat lv4 and am trying to find lv5. I'm really enjoying this quest. :)
