FAQ

  • So what is this thing?
    This is my attempt to create the Legend of Zelda: OoT in Neverwinter Nights.
  • Why?
    Though Ocarina of Time was my favorite of Zelda game, I wasn't totally satisfied, especially with the ending. Time paradoxes aside, Link seemed like he got really hosed with that go-back-to-the-past-and-miss-the-party thing. I aim to change all that.
  • So how much will this be like the original?
    Well, it will vary. Neverwinter Nights has a totally different engine, not to mention the fact that its stairs, terrain, monsters, etc. are a whole lot different. Things will be as close as possible, where I want them to be, anyway.
  • Want them to be?
    I'm taking some liberties hre. This won't be exactly the Hyrule you remember. For example, in the original, Ganondorf is a pretty passive force. He trashed a few things, sure, but you can spend hours fishing and he'll just wait for you in his tower.
  • So you're changing that?
    Yes. I've done some scripting with date-driven events and I'm going to use them in this. Expect to see quite a bit of action from teh bad guys. For example, the Gorons are meant to be Volvagia's snack, so you shouldn't wait too long to rescue them...
  • Anything else?
    I'm also trying to flesh things out a bit more. Hyrule will be bigger, for one. But little things, too, like an occupying force of Ganon's troops in the Kokiri Forest.
  • What about Epona? Neverwinter Nights doesn't have horses
    Check out the intro movie. Oh yeah. You can thank DeathGate on the Neverwinter Vault for that
  • What about modeling? How are you doing Gorons and Zoras?
    Rather badly, I'm afraid. My modeling skills are inadequate at best. These characters will be in the game, though they won't look as good as they should.
  • Could I model them for you?
    Hell yes. Just dont' expect to, y'know, get paid or anything. You will get your name in the intro movie though. (Yipee!)
