Hey everyone! I am looking for people who would like to help make a game that has been in the planning stages for a pretty healthy length of time and has an awesome story and concept.
Cries of the Stone takes place hundreds of years after A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. In a time when Hyrule is in decline falling from its Golden Age, a great evil crosses the land. No one knows of the legends of the past, they are nothing but whispers on the wind was the earth takes its last breath before evil has taken over Hyrule.
A young boy named Link is returning from Calatia to see the Royal Family. He had a dream that he was destined to meet the King and Princess of this Kingdom. As he entered the Lost Woods, he found a young woman being attacked and saved her. Her name was Impa, and introduced herself and told him the story of how the Royal Family is hidden within secret caves in Hyrule awaiting the chosen one. She also tells him how the princess had been kidnapped. Link decided to lend a hand and help Impa out in retrieving a lost item from the Cave of Dragons. Upon doing so, he found a Triforce Shard. She told him this was one of the eight shards of the Triforce of Wisdom the princess broke up before being taken off. If all of these are found, the path to the princess will surely be shown by the goddesses.
Link then sets on a quest well known to us all as the original Legend of Zelda. This time around, a deep and dark story is told, side quests will be gone on, more items than ever imagined, and fourteen dungeons to travel through. New locations to the original story, as well as many characters and villages. This is the true story of what happened during that initial story. As Link traveled the land, learning the history of his ancestors that had gone before him through finding pieces of the Gossip Stones. However, the story does not end on Spectacle Rock. The true story, the true evil, the true ending the leads into the future of Hyrule is told as Link enters a story (not neccessary for the game), but will tie every single Zelda game together unlike ever before. With the true evil that was there all along, and the true ending of The Legend of Zelda.
I have pretty much all of the concepts hammered out, the areas mapped out, and way the story will go. Definitely up for ideas if anyone's interested in helping with the game! I would definitely love help...and if you're interested I will tell you the entire story of the game and what it entails entirely! Thanks!!
Since I see people are looking at it and not posting...I will basically tell what's going on.
Basically it's the same idea as the original game, but the dungeons are pretty different. The first dungeon, Cave of Dragons, is going to be pretty much an up-to-date replica of the original dungeon. How Link gets the wooden sword is the same (from the man in a cave). However, after that is where the similarties differ. The areas of the game include:
Lost Woods
-Cave of Dragons (Dungeon 1)
-Mido (Town)
Faron Forets (Dark Woods)
- Dekuto
-Forest Temple (Palace of Time)
Misery Marsh
-Calaboose (Dungeon 2)
Hyrule Field
-Lon Lon City
-Karkariko Village
--Methesula's Grounds (Dungeon 3)
Lake Hylia
-Ruto (Town)
Death Mountain Range
-Mt. Crenel
--Picorri Village
-Death Mountain
--Lava Lake (Dungeon 5)
--Spectacle Rock (Dungeon 9)
--Goron Mines (Town)
-Zora's Sanctuary
--Zora's River (Dungeon 4)
-Crater of Darkness (Final Dungeon)
Ruins of Hylia
-Old Kasuto (Town)
-Hyrule Castle (Dungeon 6)
-Temple of Time (Palace of Twilight)
Crystal Coast
-Port of Outset/Gardens of Passion (Town)
-Ooccoa Shrine (Dungeon
Sands of Rajma
-Nabooru (Town)
-Twilight Palace (Dungeon 7)
Island of the Moon
-New Kasuto (Town)
-Tower of the Gods (Palace of the Wind)
Eastern Canyon
-Lynnadore (Town)
-Eastern Palace (Palace of Light)
Dragon Roost Island
-Rito Shrine
Island of the Stone
Those are the areas, pretty much the idea is that once Link finds all the Triforce Shards and defeats Ganon in Specatcle Rock, Princess Zelda is saved and returns to the cave where the Royal Family is hidden. The game has a different Hyrule after you win and things go back to normal. Eventually, Link will hear rumors that something had happened to the Royal Family and go and find out that the Zelda he brought there wasn't Zelda...but was a King of Darkness who was using her to find where the ancient Gossip Stone was hidden. Finally, Link learned that he is holding the pieces of the Gossip Stone. During the game, Link will find Gossip Stone Pieces throughout Hyrule which will tell him the stories of the past, and also give him powers when he holds them in his hand (which takes up an item spot). Some may be extra armor, others are the ability to see things he wasn't before. But once he assembles these, the Gossip Stone tells him to awaken the ancestors of his past. So Link travels throughout Hyrule to find the four Palaces of the Past and allow the Gossip Stone's tear to fall on the Pedestals of Time to open the palace. Once Link awakens each of his ancestors spirits (by finding the Artifacts of the Past; Ocarina of Time, Moon Pearl, Wind Waker, and Mirror of Twilight), Link then heads to the Crater of Darkness to find that the true King of Evil is Kaepora Gaebora. Zelda gamers know him as the owl, but Kaepora is infact one of the original sages who built Hyrule, worshipped the goddesses, and sealed and created the Sacred Realm. However, he betrayed them all when he hid himself as an owl and they were attacked by the people who would eventually become the Twili. He then waited centuries and kept luring the three chosen together to assume his power as a god next to Din, Nayru and Farore where he should've been. Once this battle is over, Link carries Zelda out of the crater to find she is dying. They exchange a few final words and then Zelda dies. He takes her to Impa, and they both lay her in a palace of a tomb. Once sealed, Link walks away only for the words "...to be continued" to come onto the screen. In reality, Zelda is not dead, Kaepora placed a curse upon her so that she would sleep eternally. She is the sleeping princess of The Adventure of Link.
What do you guys think so far?
