[FANGAME][IN DEVELOPMENT] Zelda-Oracle of Secrets

[froggerfun265]

Maybe I'll make a new maku tree.

But hmm.

Female in Ages. Male in Seasons. What would it be in Secrets?

Also in Ages you collect essences of Time. Seasons you collect essences of Nature.

What would you collect in this game? Essences of Space?

Also what's the "other dimension" like? Is it basically like the Dark World in lttp or the Twilight Realm in TP?

[Corrupt One]

Boss List looks good, but I had an idea fo a final boss a few days back. Something along the lines of Vaati or bongo-bongo, basically a shadow based boss that could have a part of the battle be the possessed Din, Nayru, and Farore, like Rhymey said.
Name for the land is, as said before, kinda iffy, but it probably works for now.
For the collection items, maybe Essences of Soul? Just an idea.
The "other dimension" is still a bit confusing to me, too, so explain when you can.

[Zerrodo]

@Rhymey - Yeah, the name does sound a bit... "cheesy". Do you have any suggestions for another name? Oh, and maybe the final boss could be a puppet master, perhaps, with the ability to fly (Or make Din/Nayru/Farore fly or levitate)?

@Teddy - It's fine with me if you do the maku tree. I was thinking it should be male, rather than female. Oh, and Essences of Space sounds good. The second dimension is actually a story that Farore made in the Book of Secrets, except everything is how it was at the creation of Hyrule. The book is magical, however, and if someone is erased from the story, they turn to stone in the "real" dimension, and only the power of two oracles can rewrite them into the story (Hence the appearence of Din and Nayru. Also, the only reason Farore can rewrite without the help of another oracle is because she is a scholar, just like Din is a dancer and Nayru is a singer).

@Corrupt One - Any suggestions for the lands name? Oh, and Essences of Soul sounds good too, but I'm not sure on which one to use. Explained what the second dimension is above.

Should the bosses (Except the 7th and 8th) be either brand new, old (Taken from OoA OoS and LA), or a mix of the two?

make it like Tingle

or female in dimension A, then male in dimension B



also I could probably help with boss designs

like in the fifth dungeon, how we have a ghost boss
why don't we pull a Blind again?

You find a kid who got lost in the temple, and he follows you around up to the boss room
in which case, he begins to act strangely
the room locks up, and the kid ducks down into a corner of the room, and begins to speak nonsense
you use the Book of Secrets to translate what he's saying (or something, idk; either way, you need to use the Book of Secrets) then a spirit flies out of his body and possesses his shadow
then you have to fight the shadow

beating the shadow leaves the kid to mention how he never existed, and he was forced onto the world because of the spirit. In one last act of apology for what he made Link go through, he fades away and leaves behind a Heart Container


:V

Some new but have some old ones that haven't been used lately (like how Seasons had some of the original bosses like Gleeok and Digdogger) from Adventure of Link and Link to the past.

I thought that Seasons had every boss that was from the first NES Zelda, and Ages had completely new bosses

I could be wrong; it appears nobody ripped those bosses anyway on tSR and I'm too lazy to GameFAQs/Google it so I could be wrong

[Deathbringer]

Eyesoar in Ages is actually Patra, while the Seasons had 6 bosses from the original, Mothula from Lttp, and Medusa Head is new.

[Rosencrantz]

oh


I always thought that Mothula was also a boss from NES Zelda
idk why I'm thinking that but okay

[Zerrodo]

@oB2Ko Mario - Hmm, reusing blind as a boss sounds good... and epic XD I'll probably go with your suggestion. I Also liked your idea on the different gender tree for each dimension.

@魔王 ルシファー - Here's what I was thinking:
1.Ramrock (OoA)
2.Barba (AoL)
3.Kholdstare (ALttP
4.Mothula (ALttP)
5.Blind the Theif (ALttP)
6.Original Boss
7.Evil Eagle (LA)
8.Original Final Boss

[Corrupt One]

That's quite an impressive list, there. I definitely agree with it, and the suggestions so far. I also came up with an idea(not a name) for the Final Villain Guy.

Basically, how he/she/it turns Farore into stone is by forcing Farore to open a gateway/portal/whatever into the storybook realm, where he/she/it subsequently erases her. If we have a temple such as a great library (essentially the tower of seasons?) the Villain causes it to sink into a realm similar to subrosia/be destroyed.

Also, I had another idea for the book. Perhaps the book is divided into chapters, fufilling much the same purpose as the songs in OoA.

Puppet Ganon, maybe?

[Zerrodo]

@Corrupt One - Perhaps we could do that. Have you come up with any ideas for what each chapter does?

@Rhymey - Well, the last boss was going to be something completely original (As in not another form of a different boss or just an older boss at all).

[Corrupt One]

First Chapter opens Portals/gateways into the storybook world, and back like the patches of ground that were dormant time portals.
Second Chapter allows you to travel back from the storybook world at any time, and leaves behind a portal to re-enter in the real world.
Third Chapter is free movement between the worlds.

Same pattern as the Harp.

[Zerrodo]

Guess thats a keeper! Anyways, After I finish eating dinner, I'm going to start work on GBC versions of the unoriginal bosses for the game.

[Corrupt One]

I could probably manage Kholdstare. We are using the official Palette, right?
From the maps, I used GraphicsGale to get this:

278 Colors, according to GG. Really not looking forward to simplifying this, but I'll do it anyway.
