    Well, Community wasn't even introduced until a little bit after the design change(once the covers started getting all glossy), and the design change's first issue talked about Twilight Princess, so I'm going to say that it hasn't been in Nintendo Power.

    Re: An idea crazy enough...

    That was EGM that had Zelda Classic featured, not Nintendo Power. There was one screenshot from one of Exate's quests, 2 sentences, and a website link.

    But even still, drawing in a bunch of users that makes Nintendo see Zelda Classic as a way to make money, they take it over, and ZC goes to hell (If it hasn't already...)? No thanks...

    Maybe it's just me that feels this, but everything just seems to go to crap once it stops being humble.

    Doesn't ZC have some kind of protection from Nintendo 'taking over'? I mean, they couldn't just walk in and say: "Zelda Classic belongs to us now, and we're going to make people download it for $20 every update", could they?

    Re: An idea crazy enough...

    Unless there's some legal bullshit that I don't know about concerning ZC and Nintendo, "The Legend of Zelda" and all associated copyrights are held by Nintendo. So far as I understand it, if they really wanted to, they could come in and say "Either give us the program and we're going to charge people to use it, or we'll sue you for millions and get ZC shut down". The only real reason ZC exists at all is because Nintendo really doesn't care mostly due to the userbase being relatively small.

    Basically, the moment that Nintendo could make a dime off of it, say goodbye to ZC...

    That makes a lot of sense, as ZC is a perfect copy of the original Legend of Zelda.

    Re: An idea crazy enough...

    Hm. This could work, but I forsee one problem. If we do that, and ZC gets big, Nintendo could easily use their copyright on the Zelda franchise to gain control of ZC. Overall, it's somewhat risky to wave ZC right under Nintendo's nose, so I would say don't do it. As soon as Nintendo relizes they can make money off of ZC, the good ole ZC days are over.

    Re: An idea crazy enough...

    But still, Zelda Classic is not a ROM since it was built from the ground up. Do you really think Nintendo would take legal action if we e-mail it to Nintendo Power?

    If anything, the ESA would get involved (they are who are responsible for taking all Mario, Zelda, and other popular Nintendo ROMs off the Internet). The ESA has actually threatened to sue ROM websites if they didn't remove certain ROMs.
    My quests:
    End of Time - First quest, uses classic graphics (Help/discussion thread)
    Link to the Heavens - Second quest, uses Pure tileset (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)
    End of Time DX - Remake of my first quest (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)

    I think Nintendo would probably say "We want to market this program and get 95% of the money". Nintendo knows ZC exists. But they're not doing anything since it's not that big of a thing. If it got advertised to everyone who reads Nintendo Power, Nintendo might start getting some ideas.

    I cna DEFINETELY confirm that ZC was featured in a Gaming Mag.

    How am I so sure? That's what got me on here.

    Feedback on it would be nice. It'll help with future projects.

    Re: An idea crazy enough...

    Exactly. If ZC was already featured in a huge gaming magazine and Nintendo did nothing about it, I'm confident that featuring ZC in NP won't make a difference. As long we make ourselves as humble as possible, they won't care.
