Turkey Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 I was browsing, and I stumbled upon [URL=http://www.danielbarras.com/]this page[/URL]. It turns out that an amateur game designer named Daniel Barras has decided to remake all the 3D Zelda games. Right now, he's got a small team, which is concentrating on Ocarina of Time. While the game is still pretty early, the demo is enjoyable, and could turn into an excellent game. Now, for some OOT pics: [FONT=arial]Menu Screens:[/FONT] [IMG]http://www.danielbarras.com/sub1done.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.danielbarras.com/sub2done.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.danielbarras.com/screenshot0002.gif[/IMG] They seem to be very faithful to the original game, but the map picture isn't yet available to see.

Desbreko Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 [color=indigo]Wow, this looks really cool; I can't wait to play the completed version. If they turn out good this could be a dream come true, since I've always prefered the 2D games over the 3D games. I just hope they support the use of a gamepad, though. It'd be a pain to play Zelda with the keyboard.[/color]
Break Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 [size=1][color=crimson]It looks very cool, but I don't know how they are going to do the [i]whole[/i] game in 2D.. *wonders* .. man, 2D games are fun ^-^;;[/size][/color]
Deedlit Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 [color=009966]Dude, that is so cool! ^________^ I just wish that in the demo you could leave Koikiri Forest, but the idea is great. [/color]
GreatDeitylink Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Wow! That game is really fun! *sits and drools* I, like Desbreko like 2D games better then 3D games in some aspect. I hope that the demo expands into bigger worlds soon. And I agree with Deedlit. The idea is really great. I think it will be the start of Zelda for computers. Now if the guy can get the games licensed by nintendo I'll never leave the computer. *goes back to running around in circles, shooting arrows, and dropping bombs then running into them*
Dan Rugh Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I'm downloading the demo now and I cannot wait to play! Ocarina of Time IS the best game ever and this is a great new way to experience it. That would be amazing if Nintendo would/could put these games on the GBA by some miracle. Well, I just played it and I need more!
otakukev Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Wow, that is a really great idea. I just played the demo and loved it! However, i'm a little skeptical about how they are going to do the dungeons, because in the 3D games it has a big basis on being able to go higher or lower, like the water temple in OoT. They might need to remodle some of them, but I'm sure they'll find a way. *starts drooling at the thought*
Semjaza Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 They look pretty dull so far. The guy sure has a lot of work to do, that's for sure. Good luck to him heh.
Dragonballzman Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 He's gonna have a tough time on WW, that's for sure. That great sea is preeety big, yup.
Raichu Tamer Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 maybe he can overcome the great sea by making portals and stuff or maybe just make it a bit smaller.
Desbreko Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 [color=indigo]Or he could just make it so the overworld isn't as big. All he'd have to do is making the distance between islands not as much. Which is what I'm betting he'll do, if he ever does actually get all the way up to TWW. If he's going to do OOT and MM first, that's still quite a ways off.[/color]
Dragonballzman Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Hmmm...Yeah, I suppose that could work, but theres still alot of islands out there, even just the tiny bits of land...It's sure gonna take a while, whatever he does. Personally, I hate to be a killjoy, but I seriously doubt he's going to finish these games. There's so much to do in making a game, most people probably only get the first few parts done then lose motivation. Especially with games as big and detailed as OoT.
XeEmO Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Hmm to be honest I don't really like the idea. I enjoyed playing OOT in 3D. But the way I see it 3D games just aren't ment for 2D, and that's why they were 3D in the first place.
SonicSlash Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 I think the 2d games are easier and more enjoyable...but in my opinion,he should make WW before MM...MM is WAY worse than WW...
Guest Kanoske Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 *disappointed that it wont let you leave Kokiri Forest* I think this a great idea, but its going to take alot of work just to get through one game. AND I doubt Nintendo would approve it.. If they do I'll be suprised.

[/B][/QUOTE] So long as he doesn't make people pay for the game when it's finished, Nintendo won't give a damn. They're only gonna get in a matter of approving or disapproving if he tries to sell it, making money off one of their copyrighted characters. There's unofficial games all over the net, I don't see the companies who made the actual games getting angry about them.
hiachi Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Well it does look nicely like the Link to the past game, even with new stuff like the new enemies and weapons....i like it!
OtakuSennen Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Wow.. That's interesting.. Nintendo would never take it though.. They only do that stuff if Miyamoto actually came up with the idea first... Probably.

[/B][/QUOTE] All he has to do is use what Golden Sun does to get things higher and lower.It can be done... I just downloaded it.It would be a better game if i had all of the items and didnt die from my glitchy bomb...oh well, its ok anyway...it'll get better.

No one wants that;p (i hope..)
SonicSlash Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 it doesnt have to be steps...it is very possible to,foresay,use a hookshot using 2d cliffs...
7gR Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 He also said he's going to put the Triforce in his version. I emailed him about it.

[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, but to go up and down at the same time? Maybe its just me, but I just dont see it happening. I hope im wrong, though. More 2D zeldas would be great!
Crisis Analogy Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 The demo looks really good. I find backwards gaming really accomplishing and challenging. I hope it's finished sometime soon.
HammerBlade Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 [quote]The demo looks really good. I find backwards gaming really accomplishing and challenging. I hope it's finished sometime soon. [/quote] I've seen a lot fo fan-based projects like this one. They almost never become complete. They usually make the demo and thats it. So Crisis, I wouldn't get my hopes too high that this project will be completed. So is this guy doing this ALONE, or is he working on this with a team?
