NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON AS OF SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2012!
Welp, it was inevitable, but I've stopped working on TLoZ: Path of Revelation for good. I'd much rather spend my time focusing on my own original games (I've been working on a platformer, and a puzzle game lately, both of which are pretty promising IMO) rather than a fangame that could be shutdown at any moment.
So, I'm releasing the source to the game...

It's a Game Maker 8.1 file, and let me warn you ahead of time. It. Is. A. Clusterfuck. The game is so unorganized and sloppy, with sprites, objects, etc. just out of place and whatnot.
Do whatever you like with it, and if you continue it, please give credit where credit is due, including the credits I've given to people in the opening post.
Winner of "Best of Zelda" for NCFC 2011!

IntroductionThe Legend of Zelda: Path of Revelation is a Zelda fan game that aims to introduce modern game mechanics into the classic 3/4 top down style of TLoZ: ALttP. The game centers around a sacred area known as the Path of Revelation, which the Sages use to
"choose" the next Hero when one is needed. I don't want to reveal too much of the story, so I can't explain much more.
The game will feature 11 dungeons, 3 of which are sort of "training" dungeons, and essentially side-quests that the inhabitants of areas near them give you. The remaining 8 are full dungeons which will be quite large in size, and revolve around a specific elemental theme, and a main puzzle. For instance, the earth temple (The actual name will be "Sandstone Alcove") has a main puzzle dealing with cracked floors, kind of like some areas in Pokemon games.
And last but not least, the game will have a lot of interactivity between NPCs, and the land (Which is a new region known as Caleron) itself. For instance, an NPC might give you a sidequest that you can only complete in a certain season, or during certain weather. This also means that there will be terrain changes for certain seasons, and during certain weather. Of course, there will be more in-depth NPC interactivity not related to seasons/weather, like NPCs getting into arguments with one another, and affecting sidequests they may give you, or say if they run a shop, the prices may go up due to the shop owner's anger.

Updates- Improved name registration, similar to TLoZ. Left and Right moves your selection through the characters (Up and Down don't do anything, so you have to scroll through the list)
- Advanced seasons. Early, Mid, and Late variants of each of the 4 main seasons. For example, early spring, mid spring, late spring, early summer, mid summer, etc.
