Long ago, the land of Hyrule was invaded by spirits of those deceased. The Spirit Raiders, as they were called, tormented and slaughtered the living out of jealousy and scorn. Following strict orders from an unspeakable force, the spirits showed no mercy. But the kingdom fought back, and with the help of a courageous lad and his sword, the raiders were cast back into the spirit world, and the hero followed them to ensure the catastrophe would not occur again. The hero gave his life in return for the prosperity of Hyrule, and so the royal family enshrined his sword with care. None could forsee the events that would follow...I thought it was about time to post this here. There's an ongoing discussion for it on my website, and we've really gotten deep. There aren't screenshots yet, unless you'd like to see some mockups. (So if this breaks the WIP rules for no screenshots, place it in Concepts until I can make a few mockups please) I really need to thank you guys for helping me put this together, especially for the mapping tips. (The map isn't done yet, btw. Far from it) Anyway, here's a little preview of what to expect.

Hyrule OverworldOverworld WIP**The staff would appreciate suggestions and/or comments. We want to make Hyrule and the Spirit World with an awesome landscape. We are using tiles from the Oracle games, although mostly Seasons.
OtherThe game will be programmed in Multimedia Fusion 2. If you would like to join the team, please see our website,
Fusion League.
**We are looking for spriters who can do the Zelda gameboy style and can make original sprites such as bosses and characters. (Also, we do not intend to use this as a way to advertise. Fusion League is just our "base of operations", where all the discussion is.)
