Just of the story...
Princess Zelda returning from a diplomatic mission by sea is swashbuckled and captured by pirates and taken to the Island of Tortuga, where rumor has it she is being held for a randsom of eight blue pearls, and of course it's up to Link to go and get her back.

=========================== 😊

This is finished and has been turned over to the folks testing it, and should be out shortly.
It's for the new 2.10 player and according to a couple of the testers... not for the faint hearted.

On with the show, here are some preview shots;

Freedom, you never cease to astound me. 😉 :thumbsup: I am so incredibly impressed. I want level 9 to be a surprise though. 😉 I'm expecting something super-cool, like a starlit background, or some Cset 9 trick. Perhaps a "Majora's Mask Moon"-like setting, with peace and quiet, tranquility, then a huge surprise at the end. ... But I'm just counting wishes here.

If you ever need last minute custom items or weapons, I get them done very quickly. 😉

Looks great, Freedom! I like the variety in the dungeon "decor". Tortuga means turtle...does that play any part in the quest?

wow.. the overworld is absolutely ginormous. I'm excited to see this after it's come out. and to see how faint of heart i am 🙄

JayeM,
Yes, It's the Tortuga (turtle) Island of pirate fame... turtles everywhere, and crabs.
Some turtles react to a sword, others to a hammer, and yet others to nothing at all, while yet others aren't even really turtles... so you have to watch them closely, so says Abei.

Ganonator,
I doubt it will give you too much trouble, more mind games then hard fighting.

Thanks BH4 & Cyborg, hope you guys are going to enjoy it, It will probably be my last, I've been working on it since around last May or so I think, anyway whenever I released SFE, and just can't afford that kind of time anymore.

Simple amazing. I can't wait to play this one, I would love to explore all that Overworld space and I like the colors you picked for your dungeons.

By the way, you don't have to work on such enormous projects; you could still make smaller quests now that we have amazing new possibilities with ZC 2.10.

Carrot red,
Oh I didn't mean I was quitting all together.
I'm going to be working on a tileset that mixes Minish Cap and other tiles and I figure that will take me ages to get anywhere with.
I just don't expect to really be working on or realeasing any more quests any time soon, but I might release some of the tiles or little demos along the way.
Also I want to update my older quests to the 2.10 so they will all be uniform and people don't need to worry about having different versions to play them all.

When I do release another quest, it will be totally unlike anything I've done in the past, I already have the name and storyline all decided, and the general overworld pictured in my mind, I just think it will take me a long long time to get a tileset for it together.

I had the privilege to be one of the testers and believe me this is a great quest
the eyecandy , the game play , the difficulty .......... the well everything
one big wooooooooooow
Freedom you did it again this isn't a five star but a six star quest 😉
