THE LEGEND OF ZELDA:
ECHOES OF TIME SACRED PARADOX

A FireRed heck




[EDIT MARCH 2015: Haven't changed this first post since August 2014. The game is drastically different now. I'll update the post later, but right now it serves for a good comparison for how much progress I've made :) ]

This is a heck of Pokemon: FireRed that introduces the characters and creatures of the Zelda universe, completely replacing all things Pokemon. Link will capture and battle monsters to save Zelda and Hyrule from Ganondorf's terror.

STORY:


Imagine the game doesn't play like a Pokemon game at all. Instead, it's like a Gameboy Zelda game but with Pokemon battles as the new game mechanic. There are no gyms, instead, there are dungeons. There's no Pokemon League, but a final boss. No Pokemon Centers, instead, Fairy Fountains.

In this story, you'd assume the role of Link, but without a sword.
Instead, as we've been coming up with in this thread, Link will use his Triforce of Courage to use the power of Farore to capture creatures in Gems. The higher quality Gem, the higher catch rate.

Here's a rough draft to the beginning of the game:
Show content
The Festival of the Sages is happening at Saisei Village outside of Hyrule Castle. Link is to play a role in escorting the Princess Zelda from the Castle to the festival. After going north of Saisei Village to the castle and meeting up with the princess, she waits for him in the castle courtyard while the King's adviser briefs Link on the ceremony. When Link exits the castle, he immediately notices the castle guards have been slain aside from the one still guarding Zelda, and Ganondorf approaches. A storm starts and Ganondorf thwarts the guard protecting Zelda by summoning a minion. Link runs in to save her, but is knocked out.

Link awakens in a fairy fountain. Farore explains that Ganondorf has found a way to corrupt the Sacred Realm, using Zelda as a catalyst to open and maintain his gate. Monsters have appeared all over Hyrule, and citizens have become delusional. They all believe Ganondorf is the ruler of Hyrule and very few know of the Sages. Link must retrieve the Artifacts of Age from the far reaches of Hyrule to ultimately enter the sacred realm and rescue Princess Zelda, and restore Hyrule. To do so, Farore bestows Link the power to use magic crystals found through the land to tame monsters and raise them to defeat Ganondorf's evil forces.

Farore gives Link the choice between one of three companions to start his journey, a Deku, Zora Baby or Goron Kid. Link chooses one and Farore leaves on a note that if he does not stop Ganondorf before he takes control of the Sacred Realm then Hyrule will perish.

When Link leaves the Fairy Fountain, he finds himself back in Saisei Village. The citizens are all hiding in their homes, as Ganon's Castle Guards terrorize them. He cannot leave the village until he visits the Happy Mask Shop, where he meets the Happy Mask Salesman.

He has been sent on a mission by Nayru to assist the Hero of Time. The Mask Salesman will act as a guide to Link for where to go and for what. Mysteriously, he will appear in towns across Hyrule and offer to store Link's companions until he needs them again. Link will need to visit the fairy fountains to heal his wounded companions. Crystals to obtain new companions will be found scattered around, and some merchants will sell them (Beadle maybe, maybe the Goron merchant too?).

Link's first quest sends him through the Lost Woods to the Deku Palace to retrieve the first Artifact of Age, the Artifact of Flora.



SCREENSHOTS:




This isn't yet inserted as I feel it's missing something(Like the sword behind the logo, but something unique to this game), but here's a mockup of the titlescreen:


CREATURES:

Not based on one specific Zelda game, it could have monsters from all of the Zelda games, obtainable and trainable, and also evolving.

-Here's a page where you can find Zelda enemies-

Different evolutions that don't exist in the Zelda games could be created, if they seem to be in a Zelda style.

Bosses will be like Legendaries :)

Tiles and overworld graphics will be in a revamped variant of the Gameboy Color Zelda games, drawing inspiration from other 2D Zelda games, particularly the Capcom games Oracle of Seasons and Ages. For now, I'm only inserting the basic tiles with new palettes, as later in production they may be revamped, but we need the basic building blocks for something to start, right?


So...
Instead of a bike, Epona.
Instead of Running shoes, Pegasus boots.
Surfing could be changed through ASM to using a key item, flippers.



I'm reaching out to ZFGC for story ideas and potentially some help with graphics... and maybe even midis, as there seems to be a lack of them from the Oracle games on the net.

This heck is the first of it's kind and it's been going for only about a month but seems to be gaining quite a bit of traction over at PokeCommunity... Though some are saying it might do better on a Zelda site. Let me know what you think!

As a side note, I know the name is similar to Echoes of Aurelia. This wasn't intended when me and the users came up with the name over at PokeCommunity, as this project was originally going to be called TLOZ: The Sacred Realm, but it was decided against because you'll only spend a short while in the Sacred Realm. Instead, Echoes of Time refers to what happens when Ganondorf enters the sacred realm and instances of many different versions of Hyrule are present in one Hyrule.

This looks very very nice so far. professional and very fun. A suggestion for the evolution stones could either be the medallions or things like the gorons ruby for fire and zora sapphire for water, although the others would have to be made up(shiekahs amethyst or topaz or onyx or something)

This sounds pretty interesting and I'm excited to see what may become of this!
I'm quite interested and may be able to help in story development. If you have some rough drafts feel free to pm me what you have and I can help you expand on it :)

Haven't posted here in a while, but the project is still going, although progress is slow. Here's just a little something:








It's also worth mentioning that the game's name has been changed from Echoes of Time to Sacred Paradox. :)

Thanks, I'll try to be a little more active with my posts here so you guys can see what I'm doing. Also, subscribing on Youtube or liking this on Facebook wouldn't really hurt.

Haha, this is absolutely fantastic. The graphics look really sweet too! I'm loving Odolwa, I assume he's like one of the legendaries?

It's also interesting, because people are always like, "oh, pokemon is about capturing animals and forcing them to fight, it's terrible", it seems like Link is taking a kind of morally ambiguous route here by imprisoning beings at least as smart as he is (Gorons, Zoras) and forcing the to do his bidding. Unless you're kind of going the route that the pokemon Ash Grey heck does, where certain pokemon (bulbasaur, squirtle, etc) agree to come with you in an event, and the minor pokemon can be caught regularly. Have you considered doing that with creatures that it might come off a little weird that Link has imprisoned, like, a Zora in a crystal? When that happened to Din in Oracle of Seasons, or when Nyru was forced to do Veran's bidding in Oracle of Ages, those were kinda evil things. Maybe in your game you'd talk to a Zora who would agree to fight for you, and it's not like a weird enslaving thing?

Or, you could just totally roll with the weirdness of it, because that's actually cool too. Kind of a hilarious, awkward, morally ambiguous, goofy mechanic :p  (definitely no offense intended with that remark, I love the idea of this game)

Haha, yeah I get you. I haven't played Ash Grey, but yeah it's planned to be like that. You'll obtain them during the story events, but they won't necessarily be important to the story. The same goes for Epona, if you complete a sidequest at Lon Lon, you'll get Epona. I was going to remove the bicycle feature as Epona to have minecarts, but my good friend Bela over at PokeCommunity thinks I can still have both... so Epona will be both a mount and a creature to fight with. :)

lol, as long as this site stays in my favorites bar I will always lurk on King of Thieves at least :P

Anyway after I thought about it Ash Grey was a dumb way of explaining story events because it happens in EVERY SINGLE POKEMON GAME when you get your starters, that's facilitated by story, not forcing them into pokeballs with... force.

Anyway, good to know that I'm not the only who was a little weirded out by capturing gorons in crystal and forcing them to fight :p

I'm glad you came back to update here!
I was so interested in this project, that I came over to the PokeCommunity from time to time just to make sure it was still alive, after never playing a Pokemon game! :P

Still though, this felt a lot like a comeback somehow, and I love the new stuff!
Odolwa is then, a legendary right?
Also, can normal Pokemon evolve into legendaries?
Again, I've never played, but I was wondering what you were going to do for King Dodongo.

Also, having never played Pokemon, that background image caught me very off-guard.  ;)

Last thing:
I read somewhere you were going to have four dungeons, but that doesn't quite give you the chance to show off the entire world that Zelda has to offer.
You already have a forest dungeon, but Zelda games typically have some kind of fire, ice/water, sand, sometimes dark/shadow, and a final dungeon, like Ganon's Tower.
If you don't include every environment, you might not be able to show just quite every race and creature Zelda has.

That's just that bit of info I wanted to know.
I'm really thinking of contributing to this!
Good luck!

Firstly, you have GOT to try out a Pokémon game.

Secondly, if you want "every environment" represented, you might need more than that list you mentioned in order to cover all that Zelda has to offer...

I was talking to my friend last night, and he was mentioning about how in 1980, he thought the internet would become this amazing place where people from across the world would share ideas. I was telling him about how this project [KOT] has worked, lurching along for years and drawn by different people from across the globe, and he thought it was beautiful. And he was right, it's awesome. :D

Thanks for keeping interest! I tried branching out yesterday and posting on ZeldaDungeon.Net assuming they were an active community, but it appears not lol... people's interest in this project is what keeps me going. (That and I love working on it!) I scoped out Zelda Universe but they don't seem to have a proper area for fan games, I might try another site soon if I can find one because right now here and PokeCommunity are the only places that are replying on this and I'd really like to have more input from ZELDA fans lol.

Still though, this felt a lot like a comeback somehow, and I love the new stuff!
Odolwa is then, a legendary right?
Also, can normal Pokemon evolve into legendaries?
Again, I've never played, but I was wondering what you were going to do for King Dodongo.

Odolwa is the first boss. Depending on the boss choices I make for the 8 prospective dungeons, it's possible for a creature to evolve into something that's on that level... like, I don't think King Dodongo will be a boss, but I'm not ruling out having regular Dodongos(not Dimitri) evolve into him.

Early on I thought I wasn't going to have more than 4 dungeons but I've realized I'm more than capable of doing it, and it's actually planned now. However, for the first demo release, there will only be 1 dungeon, and it might not even be a dungeon that'll make it into the final version of the game. The first demo won't even have much of a story, it'll primarily be a tech demo to introduce Pokemon players to Zelda and Zelda players to the Pokemon engine.

Let me know what you're thinking of doing any time you're thinking of contributing! ESPECIALLY with ideas. I'm working around a lot of limitations with the Pokemon engine, here's an example: I want to include a Dark World, and although I wanted to make the tiles different colored for that dark world initially, I realized I might run into a consistency issue with my new battle backgrounds being so bright and Hyrule-y looking (That background image is actually a heavily altered battle background from Fire Emblem on DS haha). There may be a way around this however.

Also, here's a clip of what I put on Zelda Dungeon yesterday as far as the story goes:

I've had a few ideas tossed around since I started this project on how I was going to handle the story, but almost everything's been scratched. In fact, the first demo of this game won't really have much of a story, instead it'll just throw you into the world so you can experience what Pokémon feels like in a Zelda world.

Here's the basics of what I do wish to keep, though:

The name Sacred Paradox was an allusion to an idea I had for the story that didn't quite work out, but I still love the name. The previous name was Echoes of Time (suggested by a member at PokeCommunity), but I found out that was a Final Fantasy game and changed the name.
The idea for the 'sacred paradox' was going to be the kidnapping of Zelda. I'm still not set on this, but I believe I'm going with an altered version of Veran or an altogether new villain as the main villain until Ganon is resurrected. Veran would abduct Zelda (after mistakenly abducting a few other girls like Malon) and would use her to enter the Sacred Realm. From there, she would use the power of the Triforce to rule over Hyrule, with the plan to fuse the world of light(a custom interpretation of Hyrule) and the dark world(a custom mix of the dark world and the twilight realm). Link must go through dungeons collecting the 8 sage medallions (might go with something else) to gain the power of the sages and ultimately defeat Veran and save Zelda... but at some point, Veran resurrects Ganon and he betrays her.

So as you guys can see, I still have a lot of room for improvement here.

Firstly, you have GOT to try out a Pokémon game.

Secondly, if you want "every environment" represented, you might need more than that list you mentioned in order to cover all that Zelda has to offer...

Thanks for the links!

I do intend to have the staple areas. This version of Hyrule is intended to be a mixed representation of a bunch of versions of Hyrule, so basically most of what you'd see in ALttP and OoT for dungeon styles. If things really start rolling with this project I'd even like to tackle a bonus secret dungeon at the end based on Majora's Mask.

(I'm putting in a feature where you can devolve any of your party members with an item and also planning on a few secret evolutions... such as this one. I guess it's not a secret anymore lol:

EDIT:

I also just thought I'd bring up another little thing I added that the majority of the PokemonCommunity users wouldn't understand as a reference... The salesman that will sell you the soul gems(pokeballs)... Vasu.



Get it? ;D

Do you mean abduct with like, soul gems? :P

It would be funny if all of the girls he abducted later became his pokemon in a boss battle.

Haven't seen this before, it's a pretty interesting take, combing Pokemon and Zelda.
