The Item pond... What will it be?

10 replies · 2,810 views · Started 12 June 2002

When it is implemented, or if ever, exactly what will it be? What kind of items can you put it or take out. Is it like the place in ALTTP where you get the silver arrows from the tragically ugly fairy? Or where you can put in some bait in some water and some armor comes out. (Or an armos.....)

Not sure how I would program it, but the item pond would work like in LttP. You select an item to throw in and you get an item back. It would be set up kind of like a shop. But instead of 3 items and 3 prices, you pick 3 give items and 3 get items. If you throw an item in that you didn't put on the list, you get that same item back. Assuming I can code it.

And good luck with that. It would make a great addition to Zelda Classic. Say, do you think that it would be (near) possible by now at least to make a Z3 Clone from Zelda Classic? I know that there was already one who came very close, I think it was called Zelda's Order, or Crests of Hyrule.

It was called Hyrule Magic.

No no no, Hyryle Magic is just a rom editor. Open Zelda is an actual game engine meant to clone Zelda 3. I also believe GU is making its own Zelda 3 clone.

How does Open Zelda work? I downloaded the program, but I can't make heads or tails of it. All I can do is place some grass and trees, which I subsequently can't open with the player.

Thank you... but my original question, which is more like a poll than not, is if with V1.92's capabilities, (excluding the item pond of course,) Do you think that there could be a near match of the Z3 World? It doesn't have to have perfect mimications (???) Check out the quests Zelda's Order and The Golden Seal to see what I mean. Those are very fantastic quests.

We have a very cool Zelda 3 clone at GU!
