Good good, that's a good start.  I do have to say though, they should be more specific (for example, what direction do the tornados from the spinner go, what are its limitations etc?).

The spinner mainly works as a key too some puzzle in ruin-like temples, like an old crypt or underground cavern(like the water temple, maybe) to "unlock" and expand the path or passageway. It works as this; the spinner enters a key like hole in the middle of the floor, which Link had to reach through his suspense, and (with you rapidly tapping the button) Link activates the spinner and the "door" or path will be revealed. It can also be used as a weapon, and, sometimes uses it's tornadoes to clear a path in over-world, among other things.

I'd like too also mention the items usefulness outside and inside dungeons as well. Like, if we are to only have 13 items, at least, we can explain why Link needs these items and such.

Spinner >> Can make tornadoes appear and lift heavy things(like statues and such) , can be used as a "key" in certain places.

Magic Rod >> Uses the elements to perform different acts such as burn, wet, grow, and send.

Slingshot >> Can stun enemies and hit targets from afar.

That's all I have so far, just a basic description of what each item dose.

I like the optional upgrade idea, but putting the Master Sword in the same category of the Deku Sticks seems a bit odd, especially considering the Deku Sticks have other functionality other than smacking things.

True. It can be used as a torch as seen in OOT. The wooden sword from TP would make a better choice in this case.

While were at it, we should think about where and when the the items will appear.

When you say "magic rod", what do you have in mind of it doing? I think since it completes and  replaces the lantern, maybe, it should have control over ice and fire.

Or maybe we could say:

Lantern >> Firerod >> Magic Wand

perhaps we can give the slingshot in the first dungeon and as a subquest in the desert you get the bow and arrow as a gift? abot the other ones not sure.

 

I like the idea of the slingshot being in the first dungeon. But may I suggest if it be made out as Link's favorite toy? Or something more convinceing like a contest prize or a stolen item? It will fit the setting well, and give Link an early practice in aiming at targets, it would be a good start for the player(who is a thief) as well.

If were only going for the MC origanal 12 items then maybe the layout should be 3 rows 4 per block.

sword > shield > ? > ?
?  > ? > ? > ?
? > ? > ? > ?

And maybe some other special items like the magic beans?

maybe we should have an item order, kinda like what OOT did:

slingshot >> bow & arrow

deku stick >> thief knife >> master sword

it makes since and gives us a lot more to think about(with is good since this a project).

I like the bow and arrow. Speaking of witch, what kind of attachments we talking about here? Will there be a special kind of arrow, like the light arrow?

How about the Seed Shooter? It spits tornadoes! Also, th seed shooter has a lot of other capabilities as well, such as fire, rock and ice.

Of course, it's fairly different from the Ice/Fire Rod.

Cool! "Thieves Knife"? How about "The Thief's Knife"? Or just Thief Knife.

Heres an example of Link using the Spinner to bring a tornado:

I think the spinner would make a good item for "getting around" as well, like scaling certain walls, or a trench, carrying you across on a something. So yea, it would come in handy in a dungeon.

Maybe we should make the final sword the Master Sword, because Link is going up against Ganon anyway. It makes sense. With a little tweaking to the storyline, the Master Sword would make a great appearance in the game. So maybe the line would be a little like this:

Wooden Sword >> Thief's Dagger >> Master Sword

Maybe the dagger could be updated in some sort, maybe by one of Hyrule's smiths. Forging it into the Hero's Sword?

« on: August 20, 2011, 07:32:27 am »

I think we should start off like that. Just start with a simple name and ability?

Spinner - Can create mini tornadoes to destroy things. Unlocks several puzzles in dungeons.

I think the Spinner would be a great addition, it can be used as a magic/key weapon.

EDIT: How about Link starts off with a wooden sword(or stick) at first, then upgrades to a thief dagger(kinda like the hero's sword in WW), then ultimately to the final sword?

What's the main sword in the game(like the sword link's gonna use)? Are we using an original item?

I think 16 kind of a big number!  At first I thought we was gonna go with only 10 items, and no inventory items(like fish scale or boots). I dunno, we want this game to be way more of a quest then MC was, and MC was a little short compared to OoS/OoA. But yea, maybe we should only give slot spots to only useful and unique items.

16 seems a little big imo, but 24 is pushing it. 13-14 seems adequate. At first, I thought we were going for an item grabber, having link stack up to about 28 items!I must admit, that would have been pretty sweet. But we should think about this logically, as to what link doses and goes on his quest.

yea, a poll would do great.

Maybe we should post one item at a time, so we don't get the same items twice and get confused.
I agree with what Frozen said earlier, most of the recurring Zelda items are the essential ones. Like Swords, Shields, and maybe Boots.

Dibs on the master sword!

MAIN ITEMS
  -Master Sword
  -Temple of Time(2nd visit)
  -A very sharp blade! Can slice through anything!!
  -None, Can use anywhere...BUT IN HOUSES!
  -Can deflect other spear, sword, trowing related attacks.

Yea, having to many to choose from could be a confusing problem for the player and programmers. Let's just pick out the best ones then. The slingshot looks like a good thief item, kinda like a pre-bow item.

We should design the items per usefullness.. for example of your magic Items, I see the Rod of Seasons, Rod of Ages useless, since they just appear in that game and we aren't messing with seasonal changes or time warps.  The Cross and Rings feel usefull too (actually I don't know in what game they appear I guess Zelda I and OoA/OoS respectively), Spinner might not work for this game.


Then we should see the items depending of the function, the Hookshot, magnetic gloves, and Switch Hook have the same function, moving you from A to B. So no matter which of those three we use it will be nearly the same . Same applies for the Slingshot and the Bow,

The Hyoi Pear and the Magic Beans can work, mostly the Magic Beans, yet the Hyoi Pear is used to talk to fishes not sure how that will work in this game.


Actually I think we must define first the number of Items we are going to use. And if we are going to add Tunics and boots, and if we actually add them, we must define is they will be considered as Items or if they will have a special screen for the selection ( a la OoT).

I like to keep an open mind when dealing with the Item fracture in KOT. What if some items have the same ability, they can be used differently in the 2D environment.(e.g bow and slingshot) The bow is more of a combat weapon, it pierces through the opponent killing it, while the slingshot knocks things over and stun enemies.

Every item is useful in it's own way. The environment can be effected by each item a different way. Using your items on enemies can result in different reactions as well.

As for items that have special menus like the Inventory, I think tunics and charts/maps should go there while Quest Items would have-?

We should just pick the most useful and exciting items from older series, and make up some ideas on our own for them.

Soooo, do we start classifying these objects to explain their meaning and use in the game? Where they are found, how and when to use them, and what they do in/to the 2D environment.

Personally, I like everyones item list, and should be compiled to a final list. With everyones main item ideas intact.

so far we got:

Magic Items:

Roc's Cape
Seed Shooter
Magic Mirror
Pegasus boots
Magic beans
Cross
Rings
Rod of Seasons
Rod of Ages
Gust Jar
Cane of Pacci
Hero's Charm
Sand Wand

Combat Items/Useful Items:

Iron Boots
Magnetic Gloves
Spinner
Ball and Chain
Bow
Swords
Bombs
Boomerangs
Shields
Hammers

Other:

Deku Sticks
Deku Nuts
Slingshot
Hyoi Pear
Switch Hook

Heres some Items I think should return from MC:

Pico Cane: Can flip anything, even enemies. also when used on certain things the changes vary from one to another. For example:

Using the cane on a ChuChu would flip it and turn it inside out into a messy puddle of goo. While on other enemies such as a Moblin, It'd just flip him and make him angry.
Minish Cap: I loved how this game went from big too small, It would be cool if the whole minish cap shrinking experience was in an over-head view. Like for example; Using the cap in the city or town would put you directly below it. To fully explore the world in minish size! Instead of a little icon floating over your head.
The Gust Jar: On top of it being a jar that can suck up anything, it makes a good vacuum cleaner. It can reach things from afar like rubies, hearts, and enemies.

Well, these are just a few ideas I had when I brainstorm. More powerful and resourceful items fall in the puzzle and weapon category.
