[10:28pm] <mzxrules> if you look at RomLocations.xml there's a line that's like [10:28pm] <mzxrules> <string v="N0"></string> [10:29pm] <mzxrules> if you select a garbage file first so that it's [10:29pm] <mzxrules>

 <string v="N0">Some garbage file</string>

[10:29pm] <mzxrules> you just need to delete the text inbetween so that it's just <string v="N0"></string> again [10:29pm] <mzxrules> if you delete the entire file though, use gonna need to make a new one

	Hello
[10:54pm] <GlitterBerri>	Hello hello :)
[10:54pm] <sakura>	So, you were saying that you wouldn't mind if I showed you how to make them youself?
[10:54pm] <sakura>	*yourself
[10:56pm] <GlitterBerri>	Indeed!
[10:56pm] <GlitterBerri>	Teach me to fish, so I may eat for the rest of my life :3
[10:56pm] <sakura>	If you're comfortable going into Nemu's memory editor, I can show you how to replace any actor/object at all
[10:57pm] <GlitterBerri>	It's not something I've done before, but I can give it a shot.
[10:57pm] <sakura>	Well, except the ones that are dynamically spawned
[10:57pm] <sakura>	You do have Nemu though right?
[10:58pm] <GlitterBerri>	I may actually have jettisoned it in my recent round of computer cleaning
[10:58pm] <GlitterBerri>	Checking now
[11:00pm] <GlitterBerri>	Which version am I using? Does it matter?
[11:00pm] <GlitterBerri>	of OoT, that is
[11:00pm] <sakura>	Debug
[11:00pm] <sakura>	It's by far the easiest for what you want to do
[11:00pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK
[11:01pm] <GlitterBerri>	Alrighty
[11:01pm] <GlitterBerri>	Opened
[11:02pm] <GlitterBerri>	What graphic plugin are you using, by the way?
[11:02pm] <GlitterBerri>	I get errors with mine
[11:02pm] <sakura>	I use rice video
[11:03pm] <sakura>	I still get some graphical hangups occasionally, but if I need to test for accurate graphics I pull up Project 64
[11:03pm] <GlitterBerri>	ic ic
[11:05pm] <sakura>	So the fastest way to explain it is if you start out as young link and go into the house that has the six treasure chests (Mido's house I think)
[11:05pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK, yep
[11:05pm] <GlitterBerri>	Here I am
[11:06pm] <sakura>	Basically, what we're doing is going to plugins->Debugger:Memory in Nemu to open up the memory editor, and then going to 80223CE8
[11:06pm] <sakura>	This is an address you should keep handy, because when you go there it tells you the address for your map
[11:07pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK
[11:07pm] <sakura>	No matter where you are in the game, if you go to 80223CE8, when you go there you'll get an address. When you're in Mido's house, the address should be 80262880
[11:07pm] <GlitterBerri>	So it is
[11:07pm] <sakura>	At 80262880 is the map for Mido's house in memory
[11:07pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK
[11:08pm] <sakura>	If you go there, you'll see the map data and it should start off with 16000000 00000003 08020000 00000005
[11:08pm] <GlitterBerri>	Indeed
[11:10pm] <sakura>	Okay, so what you're looking at is the map header. Every 8 bytes is one command that tells the map how to load, and the first byte in that is the command number (for example, the 01 command that loads actors which you'll be interested in)
[11:11pm] <sakura>	So scanning this header, I see the two things you're interested in: 0B050000 03000040 and 01070000 0300004C
[11:12pm] <sakura>	All you're basically doing is grouping them into 8 bytes, and looking for the one that starts with 0B for your objects, and 01 for your actors. You go until you run into a 14 command, because that ends the header
[11:12pm] <GlitterBerri>	Sorry, what do bytes look like again? how many digits?
[11:12pm] <sakura>	Ah sorry. A byte is two hex digits
[11:13pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK
[11:13pm] <sakura>	Basically, you know how Nemu splits it up into four columns?
[11:13pm] <sakura>	The width of two columns is 8 bytes
[11:14pm] <GlitterBerri>	Okay, got it.. Where's this 01 command?
[11:14pm] <sakura>	So something like 0B050000 03000040
[11:14pm] <sakura>	It's four lines down from the top
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	Ah, OK
[11:15pm] <sakura>	Oh actually here's an even better way to put it: you want to find where a column starts with 01
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	a
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	Got it, for actors
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	And for objects, it's 0A?
[11:15pm] <sakura>	0B
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	Ah
[11:15pm] <GlitterBerri>	Alright.
[11:15pm] <sakura>	So the way this works is that the 01 command tells you how many actors there are, and where they are
[11:16pm] <GlitterBerri>	OK
[11:16pm] <sakura>	01070000 0300004C means "There are 07 actors, and they're at the address you get by adding 4C to 80262880"
[11:16pm] <GlitterBerri>	Okey dokey
[11:16pm] <GlitterBerri>	Hex addition, yay >_<
[11:17pm] <sakura>	The two hex digits exactly after your 01 tell you how many actors there are, and then the digits after that 03 tell you how much to add to the start of your map to get there
[11:17pm] <sakura>	Heh, just pull out windows calc
[11:17pm] <sakura>	ezpz
[11:17pm] <sakura>	If you change it to "programmer" mode, you can pick the hex button and it'll let you add 80262880 and 4C no problem
[11:18pm] <GlitterBerri>	802628cc
[11:18pm] <sakura>	That's exactly right
[11:18pm] <sakura>	Now the fun part
[11:18pm] <sakura>	That's all the actors in this map
[11:18pm] <sakura>	Each line is a single actor
[11:19pm] <sakura>	The part you're interested in is the first four digits that tell you the actor number, and the last four digits that tell you the variable
[11:19pm] <GlitterBerri>	Ah, got it got it.
[11:19pm] <sakura>	We have actor 163 with a variable of FF04, actor 16D with a variable of FF00, 163 with a variable of FF00 and so on
[11:19pm] <GlitterBerri>	So I should change one of the 000As
[11:19pm] <GlitterBerri>	Since Mido and the other Kokiri aren't around right now
[11:19pm] <sakura>	7 actors, so it'll be 7 entire lines
[11:20pm] <sakura>	Once you have this list, you can do whatever you want though
[11:20pm] <sakura>	If you want to change that first 163 actor, the code is just 812628CC AAAA
[11:21pm] <sakura>	because I don't know if you know, but all a GS code does is specify which value to write at which address
[11:21pm] <GlitterBerri>	Why 812628CC? Isn't it 802628CC?
[11:21pm] <GlitterBerri>	Since tha'ts the map address?
[11:21pm] <GlitterBerri>	or rather address for the actors in the map?
[11:22pm] <sakura>	Right, I was just about to explain that
[11:22pm] <GlitterBerri>	0163 is a Kokiri, so there aren't any Kokiri in this map right now
[11:22pm] <GlitterBerri>	Just treasure chests
[11:22pm] <sakura>	There are just a few different types of GS codes. If it starts with 80, it only write one byte. If it starts with 81, it writes two bytes
[11:22pm] <GlitterBerri>	ic ic, interesting
[11:22pm] <sakura>	So 812628CC AAAA just means "write the two bytes AAAA to memory at 802628CC
[11:23pm] <GlitterBerri>	So if I want to overwrite one of the chests, I should go 812628FC AAAA, for instance?
[11:23pm] <GlitterBerri>	As the 000A at 812628CC is a chest
[11:23pm] <sakura>	Exactly!
[11:24pm] <GlitterBerri>	And the variable that actor is using is the 003A beside it?
[11:24pm] <sakura>	No sorry, by last four digits, I mean the last four digits in the entire line
[11:24pm] <sakura>	That 59A0 over to the right
[11:24pm] <GlitterBerri>	Oh, you're right, sorry
[11:24pm] <sakura>	That's the variable
[11:24pm] <sakura>	No worries
[11:24pm] <GlitterBerri>	So how do I direct to the varaible?
[11:25pm] <sakura>	If you care to know, the next part after the actor number is the x/y/z coordinates, two bytes for each
[11:25pm] <GlitterBerri>	Oh, tha'ts useful to know
[11:25pm] <GlitterBerri>	I do indeed care :)
[11:27pm] <sakura>	Also the addresses go in order. If you notice, the next line is 8026290C. You can either count up from 812628FC, or go back two bytes from 8026290C to get the address 8026290A where your variable is in this case
[11:27pm] <GlitterBerri>	Makes sense. Thank you!
[11:28pm] <GlitterBerri>	And the object number, I guess I'll need to find where that's located too?
[11:28pm] <sakura>	Oh right
[11:29pm] <sakura>	Just to make sure I've explained this well enough, why don't you go back to 80262880 and see if you can find the 0B command?
[11:29pm] <sakura>	It'll be at the start of a column, and if you go past a column that starts with 14 you've gone too far
[11:29pm] <GlitterBerri>	5 objects at +40, right?
[11:30pm] <sakura>	Beautiful, it's honestly pretty refreshing to teach someone who's sharp ^^;
[11:30pm] <sakura>	That's exactly right
[11:30pm] <GlitterBerri>	Heh, thanks. :)
[11:30pm] <GlitterBerri>	802628C0 <-- So, it's this, then...
[11:30pm] <sakura>	Each object is just a 4 digit number, and they're immediately one after another
[11:31pm] <sakura>	So we have objects C5, FC, FD, FB and E0
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	That doesn't fully line up with the generated list I have for Mido's House
[11:32pm] <sakura>	You can do the exact same thing to make an object code, if you wanted to replace the C5 object with something you would just use 812628C0 OOOO
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	0000
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	0001
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	00FB
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	0001
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	000E
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	000E
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	000E
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	000E
[11:32pm] <sakura>	Interesting, because you can see it right there
[11:32pm] <sakura>	Oh
[11:32pm] <GlitterBerri>	No C5, FC, or FD
[11:32pm] <sakura>	That generated list is taking into account which objects the specified actors actually use
[11:33pm] <sakura>	Instead of the entire object set of the map
[11:33pm] <sakura>	Looks like nothing actually uses C5, FC or FD and you'll find that in quite a few places
[11:33pm] <GlitterBerri>	Ah, right, I forgot.
[11:34pm] <GlitterBerri>	My list only includes used actors.
[11:34pm] <GlitterBerri>	Thanks! :)
[11:34pm] <sakura>	No problem at all
[11:34pm] <GlitterBerri>	Perfect! Well, thank you very much, sakura
[11:34pm] <sakura>	So with this knowledge you can go into any map, go to 80223CE8 to find where the map is in memory and grab the entire actor and object lists from it
[11:34pm] <GlitterBerri>	I'll definitely be using this knowledge a lot. I'll write up a nice little tutorial for myself and others and put it on the OoT wiki as well.
[11:35pm] <sakura>	There's one last thing to mention though
[11:35pm] <GlitterBerri>	What's up?
[11:35pm] <sakura>	If your map starts with 18 instead of 16, it means the map actually has multiple headers

Hi awesome mods. I have a question for anyone out there. I have a paper from an academic journal that talks about the sexual violence inherent in the "great medieval romances" by Chretien de Troyes. It is an interesting paper and provides an enlightening - if also extremely sad - view of medieval rape. I posted a bit by Andreas Capellanus and his view of sexual violence, but this would be too long to post. Understanding the culture from which we came, and how they viewed women and sex, can help us understand the influences we have today regarding those same topics. This paper makes brief mention of the patriarchy that was built in such a way as to barely mention sexual violence against the unmarried woman. Also, the references in this paper will take you all over and give you a great summary of this topic in medieval europe. So. If anyone wants the paper, give me a throwaway email, and I will email it off to ya. Ta

[9:19pm] <jrra> think it was 80090cd7 00c1, for oot v1.0 [9:19pm] <jrra> for file 1 <jrra> ok, here's a nonshit code: ntsc 1.0, 80090cd7 00c1 [9:41pm] <jrra> [Thursday, September 18, 2014] [10:16:25 PM] <jrra> will cause the menu to create disk files by default [9:41pm] <jrra> [Thursday, September 18, 2014] [10:17:29 PM] <jrra> when creating a new file, the game looks up a bunch of default values from a table, including link's starting area and some other stuff [9:41pm] <jrra> [Thursday, September 18, 2014] [10:17:44 PM] <jrra> one of those things is the default disk flag byte [9:41pm] <jrra> [Thursday, September 18, 2014] [10:18:28 PM] <jrra> normally it'll retrieve a 0 byte from a table, then store that as the disk flag byte in the new file. this code changes the index into the table that it uses, so that it reads a 1 byte instead

[9:42pm] <Lazengann> Oh it worked this time [9:42pm] <Lazengann> But this won't let me access it like Zeth's crazy code did. [9:42pm] <jrra> "access it" what do you mean [9:43pm] <Lazengann> He made a code that turns it blue, and also forces the game to bypass the INSERT URA ZELDA screen [9:43pm] <jrra> i do not believe there is a "insert ura zelda" screen [9:43pm] <einstein95> If the game plays normally after that, it's a shit code [9:44pm] <Lazengann> I was pretty sure there was if you used a different code to make it playable japanese comes up and says INSERT URA ZELDA [9:44pm] <jrra> as far as it being blue, the last code i looked at, all it did was put the badge next to the file, cosmetically. it didn't actually changed the file, just flipped a bit in the menu to make it show the badge [9:44pm] <einstein95> Yeah, the game hangs even on real console with 64DD and modified disk id [9:44pm] <PPLToast> yeah i think it had that "insert ura disk" [9:44pm] <PPLToast> someone tried on console with 64DD [9:44pm] <Lazengann> Yeah and that code that Zeth made legitly bypassed it. [9:45pm] <jrra> if you have a disk inserted, (that is not a zelda expansion), it will ask you to remove it [9:45pm] <jrra> it does this before the menu though [9:45pm] <PPLToast> the biggest question is if MQ is ura zelda [9:45pm] <einstein95> http://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time#Error_Messages [9:45pm] <Lazengann> Ah well it's been a while since I was researching on Ura, all I remember was someone making a code to make the file accessible, but it still wouldn't work. [9:45pm] <PPLToast> all the nintendo guys say it is [9:46pm] <einstein95> There's no "INSERT URA ZELDA" text [9:46pm] <jrra> it's not a big question. yes, mq is the supposed ura zelda [9:46pm] <Lazengann> Bullshit [9:46pm] <Lazengann> Anyone who thinks that doesn't know shit [9:46pm] <Lazengann> If anything Master Quest was like, a fraction of Ura [9:46pm] <PPLToast> "Please insert a disk." [9:46pm] <PPLToast> its close [9:46pm] <Lazengann> With just the remixed dungeon [9:46pm] <Lazengann> Dungeons* [9:46pm] <PPLToast> "Please insert the disk the correct disk." [9:47pm] <Lazengann> Miyamoto himself actually said a bit about Ura [9:47pm] <Lazengann> And one of the things he said was there was going to be new dungeons [9:47pm] <Lazengann> No new dungeons in MQ so it can't be Ura as they envisioned it. [9:47pm] <Lazengann> There's just no way in hell. [9:47pm] <PPLToast> URA was supposed to be an expansion according to them [9:48pm] <Lazengann> MQ was just made to shut people up from asking about Ura Zelda. [9:48pm] <PPLToast> a shitty rom hack isnt an expansion [9:48pm] <Lazengann> Exactly.

[9:56pm] <jrra> when you start the game, before you even get to link and epona galloping across the screen, oot has already checked the disk and tried to chainload whatever is on it [9:56pm] <GlitterBerri> You can assume 1.0 for every code I post unless i mention otherwise ^^ [9:56pm] <einstein95> Then if it stals but never crashes, why does the game crash when starting a non-hacked disk save [9:56pm] <jrra> if you have an expansion disk in, it will take over before you even see a zeldo

[9:57pm] <jrra> einstein95: the stalled thread is a "crash" for that thread, it actually does have some problems, for example you can lose input. as far as loading a disk file without a disk inserted, i don't know what happens, i only investigated the case where you do indeed have the disk

Zelda - Geschichten und Realität

Rollenspiele im Allgemeinen und die Spiele der Zelda-Serie im Besonderen sind sehr stark von der durch die Programmierer erzeugten Atmosphäre abhängig. Dabei reicht es keinesfalls, hübsche Grafiken und coole Gegner zu zeigen, sondern das Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Elemente muß perfekt sein. Die Handlung der Geschichte muß sich wie ein roter Faden durchs gesamte Spiel ziehen, die Begleitmusik sollte den Spielsituationen entsprechen, und die Anforderungen an den Spieler sollten zusammen mit seinen Fähigkeiten stetig wachsen. Shigeru Miyamoto zeichnete für die Einhaltung des oben genannten Zusammenspiels verantwortlich. Er trug Sorge dafür, daß die von Kensuke Tanabe verfaßte Story um Zelda und Link peinlichst genau eingehalten wurde und jederzeit logisch nachvollziehbar war. Die grafische Umsetzung realer Objekte, wie z. B. die Burg in The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past, die dem Nijo Castle im Herzen Kyotos nachempfunden ist, war ein weiterer Baustein des Erfolgs der Abenteuerserie.

Club_N_Magazin_10-98,_Zelda_Story,_OoT,_Zelda_Comic_Das_Tor_zur_Zeit,_Teil_3

Chronologisch gesehen ist The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time der erste Teil der Zelda-Saga. Die Handlung spielt vor der des dritten Teils (A Link to the Past). Damals lebte Link noch nicht in der Nähe der Stadt Hyrule, sondern im nicht weit davon entfernten Kokiri-Wald. Dorthin hatte ihn seine Mutter gebracht, nachdem in Hyrule der Krieg angebrochen war.

(Mehr zu dieser Vorgeschichte im demnächst erscheinenden Club Nintendo-Special.)

Links Mutter ließ Ihr Leben, als sie ihren Sprößling zu den Kokiri brachte, denn keinem Wesen einer anderen Rasse war es vergönnt, in den Kokiri-Wäldern zu überleben. Link jedoch überlebte, da der Deku-Baum, ein Vertreter der Götter auf Erden, in ihm einen Jüngling sah, dem große Aufgaben bevorstanden. Aus diesem Grund ermöglichte er dem jungen Hylianer das Leben in Kokiri. Link selbst bekam von all dem nichts mit, daß er noch zu jung war, um die Geschehnisse zu begreifen… Erst Jahre später fiel Link auf, daß er anders war als die anderen Bewohner des Dorfes. Er besaß nämlich als Einziger beine Fee! Jeder andere Kokiri wurde bereits seit seiner Geburt von einem der kleinen Zauberwesen begleitet. Nur Link nicht, was ihm im Dorf einigen Spott einbrachte…

Gleichzeitig witterte der Deku-Baum eine Bedrohung, die sich unaufhaltsam näherte. Dies war für das alte Geäst das Zeichen, daß nun die Zeit gekommen war, um Link mit seiner Bestimmung vertraut zu machen. Aus diesem Grund schichte er die Fee Naiv ans, die fortan Links Beschützerin sein sollte… Die Bedrohung, die der Deku-Baum prophezeite, ging hauptsächlich von einer Person aus, von Ganondorf, dem Herrn der Diebe, der mit bösen Mächten einen Pakt eingegangen war und nun als Dämon Ganon sein Unwesen trieb. Der Untergang des Hylianischen Reiches schien vorbestimmt. Nur ein einziger Streiter des Guten war in der Lage, das drohende Schicksal abzuwenden… Link!

Ist das nicht goldig?

In Amerika wird es eine Vorbestallaktion geben Jeder, der Zelda 64 vorbestellt, erhält ein goldenes Modul, die normale Verkaufsversion soll in herkömmlichem Grau erscheinen. Gerüchten zufolge, könnte es jedoch passieren, daß Nintendo letztendlich doch alle USA-Module in Gold ausliefert, da es technisch kaum umsetzbar ist, unterschiedliche Varianten für den gleichen Markt herzustellen.

Ob das Spiel in Europa in einer goldenen Cartridge stecken wird oder nicht, ist derzeit noch völlig unklar. Letztendlich ist die Entscheidung davon abhängig, ob Nintendo of Europe der Meinung ist, daß diese Sonderanfertigung finanziell tragbar ist oder nicht. Eine Vorbestallaktion wird es hierzulande aber definitiv nicht geben.

Zelda 64: The Ocarina of Time

Nintendo • April (Japan), Dezember (D)

Vielleicht sollten wir diese Rubrik in Zelda Zoom umbenennen, denn jeden Monat veröffentlicht Nintendo ein Bündel neuer Screenshots von seinem neuen Baby! Es bleiben jetzt nur noch zwei Monate bis zur Veröffentlichung von Zelda 64 in Japan (theoretisch natürlich); es wäre nicht das erste Mal, wo der Verôffentlichungstermin verschoben wird.

Diesen Monat können wir Link dabei beobachten, wie er eine der Bomben aufhebt und durch die Gegend wirft; dem Echsenmenschen scheint diese Aktion nicht gerade sehr zu gefallen. Aber was ist das für ein Vieh dort oben? Oh nein, ?tte laß es kein Pikachu-Monster ?ein!

Aber selbst in diesem Stadium ?rft Zelda 64 mit Tricks nur so um ?ch. Da die Cartridge fast vier Mal ?o groß wie die von Mario 64 ist, ?ann man schließlich einiges ?rwarten. Scheinbar leidet Zelda 64 ?urch nicht am “Trailer-Syndrom” (wo ?an schon die Hauptattraktionen ?om Spiel gesehen hat, bevor das ?ertige Produkt auf den Markt ?ommt). Das war bestimmt längst ?och nicht alles!

(Everything but captions.)

Maybe we should rename this column in Zelda zoom, because every month Nintendo released a bundle of new screenshots of his new baby ! It now remain only two months until the release of Zelda 64 in Japan (theoretically of course) ; it would not be the first time where the Verôffentlichungstermin is moved.

This month we can link observe how he picks up one of the bombs and throws through the area ; the Lizardmen does not seem very pleasing this action. But what kind of a beast up there? Oh no, ? Tte let it no Pikachu monster ? A !

But even at this stage ? Rft Zelda 64 with tricks only way to ? Ch . Since the cartridge is nearly four times ? O great as that of Mario 64 ? Ann finally some rwarten ? . Apparently suffering from Zelda 64 ? Hrough not on "Trailer syndrome " (where? Already at the main attractions? Has seen om game before that? READY-TO-U SE ommt product on the market? ) . It was determined long ago ? Och not all!

1997, Fun Vision, Ausgabe 1

Abenteuer ihres größten Helden. Feiert mit uns die Rückkehr von Link!

Für die meisten Besucher der Shoshinkai gab es zwei grosse Enttäuschungen: Es wurde kein Spiel für das 64 DD live gezeigt, und Legend of Zelda 64 war nicht spielbar. Wieder mußte man sich mit einem Video zufrieden geben. Aber wer genau hinsah, konnte die Gewissheit mitnehmen, daß hier etwas ganz Besonderes entsteht: Ein Abenteuer, das (Videospiel-) Geschichte machen wird.

Noch schweigt sich NCL über Story, Erscheinungstermin und Umfang des Spiels aus, erzählt aber in 20 Sekunden auf dem Video folgende Geschichte: Link erkundet ein ein unterirdisches, gefährliches Labyrinth, das mit einer Weiterentwicklung der Super Mario 64 Programm-Routinen präsentier wird. Der spitzohrige Held durchreitet ein Portal, vernimmt von hinten verdächtige Geräusche und zieht sein Schwert. Dann greifen zwei große Skelette an. Souverän besiegt Link sie un kommt in einen weiteren Raum, in der eine große Schatzkiste steht. Er öffnet sie vorsichtig, und die Triforce erscheint.

Tolle Animation

Das alles präsentiert sich in fliesender 3-D-Grafik mit zahlreichen Effekten und gut erkennbaren Charakteren. Legend of Zelda 64 ist vielleicht nicht das erste RPG/Abenteuer-Spiel, das f¨r das Nintendo 64 erscheinen wird. (Mit etwas Glück bekommen wir vorher noch Imagineers Mahô Seiki Eruteiru.) Aber mit Sicherheit ist Zelda ein Titel, auf den sich alle Nintendo-Abenteurer freuen können.

Adventure of their greatest heroes . Celebrate with us the return of Link !

For most visitors, the Shoshinkai there were two major disappointments : There was no match for the 64 DD shown live , and Legend of Zelda 64 was not playable. Again, had to be content with a video . But who looked closely, you could take the certainty that something very special occurs : An adventure ( video game ) will make history.

Even NCL silent about story , release date and scope of the game , but told in 20 seconds on the video following story : Link explores a subterranean , dangerous maze that is Präsentier with a further development of Super Mario 64 program routines. The pointy-eared hero rides through a portal , hears suspicious noises from behind and draws his sword . Then grab two large skeletons. Sovereign defeated it comes un link to another room , where a large treasure chest is . He opens it carefully , and the Triforce appears.

Great entertainment

All this is presented in flowing forming 3 -D graphics with numerous effects and easily recognizable characters . Legend of Zelda 64 is perhaps not the first RPG / adventure game that f ¨ r the Nintendo 64 will appear . ( With a little luck we will get before that Imagineers Mahô Seiki Eruteiru . ) But surely Zelda is a title to which all Nintendo adventurers can look forward to.

Revolution oder Debakel? Nie zuvor hatte ein Zusatzlaufwerk für eine Videospielkonsole großen Erfolg. Doch Nintendos Hiroshi Yamauchi fordert die Götter des Marktes heraus und setzt Shigeru Miyamotos zweite Wunderwaffe, The Legend of Zelda 64, ein.

Nintendo 64DD - The recordable future

Revolution or debacle? Never before had an extra drive for a video game console great success. But Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi challenges the gods of the market and is Shigeru Miyamoto's second miracle weapon, The Legend of Zelda 64, a.

Einsatzfähig und produktionfertig, aber noch ohne Preis, Verôffentlichungsdatum und Spiele: das 64DD

Der 64-Bit-Link wirkt wesentlich ernster als bei früheren Aufritten

Suitable for use and production-ready, but still without a price, and games Date published: the 64DD

The 64-bit link looks much more serious than in previous Aufritten

—

Kaum jemand hatte erwartet, daß der alte Mann Wort halten w¨rde. Fast genau vor einem Jahr kündigte Hiroshi Yamauchi in seiner Shoshinkai-Debüt-Rede das 64DD an, ein als Zubehör erscheinendes Massenspeichermedium ohne kleine Silberscheibe, das schon 1996 vorgestellt werden sollte.

Er hielt Wort, und kaum, daß sich die Pforten der Shoshinkai geöffnet hatten, entdeckten auch schon Neugierige das erste 64DD samt Disk unter einer Glasvitrine. Damit gar nicht erst die Möglichkeit eines großen Betrugs in Erwägung gezogen werden konnte, standen etwas an die Wand gedrängt weitere 64DD-bestückte N64 nur mit hektisch blinkenden Lichtern an dem im dunklen N64-Grau gehaltenen Disk-Drive. Geboten wurde nicht etwa Zelda 64, dessen einzige Einblicke Schnipsel aus dem Messe-Video gewährten, überzeugt wurden skeptische Zuschauer durch Fotos von sich selbst, die schnell digitalisiert auf de Disks geschrieben und in minutenschnelle auf Projektionsbildschirmen vom N64/64DD dargestellt wurden. Soviel also zur Beschreibbarkeit, oder?

Das 64DD ist im Prinzip nicht anderes als ein aus der Computerweltbekanntes ZIP-Drive, ein mit magnetischen Disks arbeitender Massenspeicher. Die Disks wurden aus Kosten- und Datensicher-heits-gründen auf maximal 64 Megabyte (das entspricht achtmal Super Mario 64) beschränkt. Doch davon können bis zu 32 Megabyte beschreibbar sein. Schneidet das DD im Vergleich mit den Datenmengen einer CD (640 MByte) kläglich ab, übertrifft es die herkömmlichen Videospiel-CD-ROMs ansonsten um Längen: Vor allem der langsame Transfer von Daten quält beim CD-ROM - das 64DD schafft Raten von einem 5,7fach-Speed CD-ROM-Laufwrk oder auch ca. 750 Kbyte pro Sekunde. Das diese Geschwindigkeit reichen kann, demonstrierte Nintendo auf der Shoshikai mit einer Super Mario 64-Version auf Disk: Zwar waren geringe Ladezeiten merklich, jedoch deutlich kürzere als bei den üblichen Ladeorgien der 32-Bitter.

Doch die wahre Stärke wird wohl erst das hoffentlich auf DD erscheinende Zelda 64 zeigen. Schlichte Gemüter und einfallslose Entwickler sehen den Platz als Möglichkeit, große Spielstände zu speichern. Shigeru Miyamoto beschreibt dagegen komplexe Spielwelten, in denen jede Handlung und Veränderung durch den Spieler auch dauerhaft die Welt verändert. Link pflückt z. B. eine Blume, und an dieser Stelle beginnt sich, während das Spiel weiterläuft, neue Vegetation zu bilden. Vorausgesetzt Entwickler scheuen den Aufwand nicht (denn der ist immens), könnte das 64DD den Spieler der virtuellen Realität noch ein ganzes Stück näher als Mario 64 bringen, und diese Revolution braucht das 64DD, um zum Erflog zu werden.

Intern weiß aber selbst Nintendo noch nicht, wann das große Risiko gewagt werden soll, denn erst muß in Japan das N64 so stark sein, daß die Einführung des 64DD überhaupt Sinn machen könnte. Und selbst dann muß Nintendo viel Glück, tolerante Kunden und neben Zelda 64 mindestens noch Titel wie Mother 3 oder Super Mario RPG 2 haben, die das Vertrauen in das System von Anfang an stärken. Wohl nicht ganz ohne Hintergedanken sprach Miyamoto davon, daß zur Sicherheit eine leicht andere Zelda 64-Variante auf Modul in Arbeit ist. So mancheiner erinnert sich vielleicht heute noch an das SNES-CD-ROM und sein plötzliches Verschwinden im Schlund der Videospiel-Gescheichte…

Hardly anyone had expected , that the old man would keep his word w ¨ . Almost exactly a year ago, Hiroshi Yamauchi announced in his Shoshinkai debut speech to the 64DD , one appearing as an accessory storage medium without small silver disc , which should be introduced as early as 1996 .

He kept his word , and barely , that the gates of Shoshinkai itself had opened , discovered already curious the first 64DD including disk under a glass case . This could only be considered the possibility of a major fraud did not , were a bit on the wall pushed further 64DD -tipped N64 only with hectic flashing lights on the disk drive held in the dark N64 gray. Offered was not about Zelda 64 , granted its only insight snippet from the Messe- Video , skeptical audience were convinced by photos of yourself , digitized quickly written on de discs and were presented in a matter of minutes on projection screens from N64/64DD . So much for writability , right?

The 64DD is basically nothing more than a computer from the World famous ZIP drive , a working with magnetic disc storage . The disks were made of costs and data security ty - based on a maximum of 64 megabytes ( equivalent to eight times the Super Mario 64 ) is limited . But it can be up to 32 megabytes writable. Cuts the DD compared with the amount of data a CD ( 640 MB ) from miserably , it outperforms the conventional video game CD -ROMs or opt for lengths : Especially the slow transfer of data torments the CD-ROM - the 64DD creates rates from a 5 , 7x -speed CD -ROM Laufwrk or about 750 Kbytes per second. This can range this rate , Nintendo demonstrated on the Shoshikai with a Super Mario 64 version on disk : Although low loading times were significantly , but significantly shorter than the usual loading orgies of the 32- bitters.

But the strength is probably only the hopefully show on DD appearing Zelda 64 . Simple minds and unimaginative developers see the place as a way to save big Scores . Shigeru Miyamoto contrast, describes complex game worlds in which every action and change by the player permanently changed the world. Link picks such as a flower, and at this point begins to move, while the game continues to form new vegetation. Provided developers shy away from the effort not ( because that is immensely ) , the 64DD would force the players to the virtual reality quite a bit closer than Mario 64 , and this revolution needs the 64DD to be flown to the .

But internally knows himself Nintendo not know when the big risk is to be dared , because only in Japan, the N64 has to be so strong that the introduction of 64DD might make sense at all. And even then, Nintendo has a lot of luck , tolerant customers and next Zelda for at least 64 titles like Mother 3 or Super Mario RPG have 2, strengthen the confidence in the system from the beginning. Probably not without ulterior motives Miyamoto spoke of the fact that the security is a slightly different version on Zelda 64 module in the works. Quite a few people may remember today on the SNES CD -ROM and its sudden disappearance in the throat of the video game gift gel density ...

Miyamoto stellt Zelda vor

[caption: Die Herren Minagawa, Miyamoto und Tezuka auf der Pressekonferenz.]

Nintendo. Kurz nach der grossen Eröffnungs-Pressekonferenz von Nintendo lud Shigeru Miyamoto 50 westliche Journalisten zu einer privaten Vorführung von "Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina of Time" ein. Fun Vision war für Euch dabei und bekam sogar noch eine Privataudienz!

Shigeru Miyamoto, der Erfinder von Super Mario, Link, Yoshi und unzähligen weiteren Gestalten, begann seine Rede mit folgenden Worten:

"Es tut mir sehr leid, daß wir mit Zelda so spät sind. Diesmal werden wir es wirklich (fertig) machen. Aber bis zu dem Tag, an dem wir wirklich das Master-ROM fertig haben, kann ich nicht sagen, wann wir es genau auf den Markt bringen können, Wir versuchen immer, ein realistisches Spiel zu machen."

Bislang wurde oft beklagt, daß das Nintendo 64 keine gerenderten Videosequenzen schafft. Videoszenen sind jedoch möglich, das beweist "Mystical Ninja". Und "'Zelda' läßt einen fühlen", daß "wir irgendwann in (nicht allzu ferner) Zukunft Real Time Movies (Filme in Echtzeit) so stark werden nutzen können, wie wir das wünschen."

[caption: Haben allen Grund zum Strahlen: Miyamoto-san und Tezuka-san freuen sich über ihr neues Meisterwerk.]

Effekte in Echtzeit haben die Programmierer bei "Zelda 64" bereits umgesetzt: Das Licht ändert sich, je nach Wetterlage und Tageszeit. Überhaupt fanden die Entwickler um Shigeru Miyamoto das Spiel mit der vierten Dimension offensichtlich faszinierend. Link, der Held der Geschichte, ist in der Lage, mit seiner magischen Ocarina (eine Flöte) durch die Zeiten zu wandern. Einmal ist er ein kleiner Junge, im nächsten (Spiel-)Moment bereits ein erwachsener Mann.

Und das Theme "Zeit" war es auch, das zu der Frage Anlaß gab, wie lange die Entwicklung des Spiels denn nun eigentlich gedauert habe? "Mehr als drei Jahre sind vergangen, seit wir angefangen haben!", antwortete Miyamoto. Zu Beginn sei "Zelda 64" nur ein kleiner Teil seiner Arbeit gewesen, doch inzwischen beanspruche das Spiel hundert Prozent seiner Zeit!

"Ich glaube, ich muß mich wieder einmal zu Hause sehen lassen", schmunzelte Nintendos populärster Entwickler. Seinen Kollegen geht es allerdings nicht besser: "Viele unserer Mitarbeiter widmen ihre Zeit komplett 'Zelda'; deshalb ist es heute meine wichtigste Aufgabe, sie an gewissen Punkten zu stoppen, damit sie heimgehen können..." Eines steht also bereits fest: An Zeit haben die Entwickler nicht gespart!

Ob sich das alles gelohnt hat, wollten die anwesenden Journalisten natürlich wissen. Miyamoto selbst ist - niemand hatte etwas anderes erwartet - von seinem Werk überzeugt. "Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit 'The Legend of Zelda'. Derzeit bin ich aber dabei, an den Feinheiten des Spiels zu arbeiten und aus 'The Ocarina of Time' ein echtes, typisches 'Zelda'-Spiel zu machen." Dann war genug geredet, die Vorführung des neuen Kultmoduls konnte beginnen!

Eines stand bei der Vorführung sehr schnell fest: Grafisch überzeugt das Spiel auf jeden Fall! Der Held Link lebt in der Welt Hyrule. Es ist ein Planet voller dunkler Wälder, tiefer Verliese ("Dungeons") und weiter Landschaften - und all das ist in ansprechender 3-D-Grafik dargestellt. Eine gute Fee verrät dem mutigen Link, daß er Gannon besiegen muß. (Ja eben jenen Gannon, der später zu Gannondorf mutieren und die Prinzessin Zelda entführen wird.) Dazu muß der Junge jedoch erst drei magische Steine finden: Das Abenteuer kann beginnen! Die vorgeführten Sequenzen des Spiels zeigten Link vor allem in Kampfszenen. Dabei fiel auf, daß die Gegner in der Regel wirklich gigantisch sind. Die Explosion, als der Held eine Bombe im Maul eines drachenmäßigen Monsters versenkte, war nicht von schlechten Eltern... Und der Feuerdrache ist ein wirklich ekliges Vieh, das einem See aus Lava entsteigt, durch die Lüfte fliegt und Würmer über die Welt verteilt.

Über die Animation ließ sich aber nicht klagen: Selten wurden Bewegungen (wie etwa das Besteigen eines Pferderückens) so lebensecht umgesetzt. "Zelda 64" ist das vom Umfang her (256 Megabit!) größte Spiel, das Nintendo bislang entwickelt hat. Und das Unternehmen, allen voran der Entwickler, hatte sich große Ziele gesetzt. Miyamoto verriet: "Ich wollte ein Spiel machen, das sich von allen anderen, die es bereits gibt, unterscheidet. Ich hoffe, daß die Kombination von Fantasy-Adventure, spannender Action und magisch-mystischer Umgebung ungeahnte Gefühle in den Spielern wecken wird!" Wer wirklich ein Profi ist, der schafft das Spiel wahrscheinlich etwas schneller: Aber wer alles genau erkunden will, dem garantiert "Ocarina" mindestens vierzig Stunden Spannung. Außerdem ist die Steuerung anfängerfreundlich belegt: Link springt zum Beispiel automatisch, ohne daß man sich um seine Landung sorgen muß.

Nach dieser Vorführung sind wir fast bis zum Zerreißen gespannt: Welche Abenteuer warten wohl im fertigen Modul auf uns? Noch vor Weinachten werden wir es wissen!

Nintendo. Shigeru Miyamoto war während der Messe in Atlanta mehr als einmal der Mann des Tages. "Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina of Time" hatte die anwesende Presse bei der Vorführung mehr als überzeugt. Aber der Japaner stand auch danach im Rampenlicht: Er erhielt als erster Mensch den Hall of Fame-Award der Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS)! Die Vereinigung, die seit diesem Jahr besteht, möchte von nun an jährlich einen verdienten elektronischen Künstler in ihre Ruhmeshalle aufnehmen. Was Ihr tun müßt, um den Preis zu bekommen?

Miyamoto shows off Zelda

[caption: Minagawa (PR for Nintendo), Miyamoto and Tezuka at the press conference.]

Nintendo. Shortly after Nintendo's big opening press conference, Shigeru Miyamoto invited 50 Western journalists to a private screening of "Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time". Fun Vision was there for you and even got a private audience!

Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Super Mario, Link, Yoshi, and countless other figures, began his speech with the following words:

"I'm very sorry that we are so late with Zelda. This time we will really make it. But until the day we really have the master ROM, I cannot say exactly when we can bring it on the market. We are always trying to make a realistic game."

Until now, people have often lamented that the Nintendo 64 cannot create pre-rendered video sequences. However, video scenes are possible, as proven by "Mystical Ninja". And "'Zelda' gives the feeling" that "in the (not-too-distant) future, we will eventually be able to use real-time movies as much as we wish."

[caption: Having every reason to smile: Miyamoto-san and Tezuka-san are happy about their new masterpiece.]

The programmers of "Zelda 64" have already implemented real-time effects: the light changes depending on the weather and time of day. In general, Shigeru Miyamoto found the development of the game with the fourth dimension to be obviously fascinating [note: I'm a bit unsure of this sentence -D]. Link, the hero of the story, is able to travel through the ages with his magical ocarina. One minute he is a little boy, and a moment later he is already a grown man.

And the theme of "time" gave rise to the question: how long has the development of the game now taken? "More than three years have passed since we first started!" Miyamoto answered. At the beginning "Zelda 64" was only a small part of his work, but he now claims the game occupies one hundred percent of his time!

"I think I must be proud to be at home again", chuckled Nintendo's most popular developers. For their colleagues, however, it's a different story: "Many of our employees fully devote their time to Zelda, so now my most important task is to stop them at certain points so they can go home..." One thing is certain: right now, the developers aren't sparing themselves any time!

Of course, the journalists in attendance wanted to know if this was all worth it. Miyamoto himself is - as expected - convinced of his work. "I am very pleased with 'The Legend of Zelda'. Currently, I'm working on the finer points that make 'The Ocarina of Time' a true Zelda game." Enough said - now the screening could begin!

The people watching the screening quickly realized: graphically, the game was definitely convincing! The hero Link lives in the world of Hyrule. It is a planet [?!? - D] full of dark forests, deep dungeons, and further landscapes - and this is all presented in attractive 3D graphics.

A good fairy tells the courageous Link that he must defeat Gannon [sic]. (Yes, the same Gannon who later mutates into Gannondorf [sic] and kidnaps Princess Zelda.) To do that, however, the boy must find three magic stones. Let the adventure begin! Scenes from the game show off Link, particularly in battle. Noticeably, Link's opponents are generally huge. The explosion as the hero buries a bomb in a dragon-like monster's mouth wasn't bad... And the fire dragon is a really nasty beast that rises from a lake of lava, flies through the air, and spreads worms across the world [note: what? -D]

There were no complaints about the animation: Seldom were movements (such as climbing onto a horse's back) implemented so lifelike. "Zelda 64" is the largest game (256 megabits!) that Nintendo has developed.

And the company, especially the developers, had set big goals. Miyamoto revealed: "I wanted to make a game that is different from all the others. I hope that the combination of fantasy adventure, exciting action, and magical, mystical surroundings will awaken unexpected feelings in the players!"

A real professional player could probably finish the game a little faster, but for those who want to explore everything, "Ocarina" guarantees at least forty hours of thrills. In addition, the controls are friendly to beginners: for example, Link jumps automatically, without having to worry about the landing.

After this demonstration, we are excited almost to the breaking point: what adventures may await us in the finished product? Before Christmas, we will find out!

[caption: Mr. Tezuka showed exciting selections from "Ocarina of Time".]

[bottom left inset] Glory and honor

Shigeru Miyamoto was the man of the hour more than once during the fair in Atlanta. "Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina of Time" had more than convinced the press who were present at the screening. But the man himself also stood in the spotlight: he was the first to receive the Hall of Fame Award from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS)! The association, established this year, aims to honor one worthy electronic artist every year in their Hall of Fame. What must one do to win the prize? Provide an outstanding service to the world of electronic games.

Eigentlich schade! Wir hatten uns schon so auf die erste spielbare Version des fünften Zelda-Spiels gefreut - gezeigt wurde dann “nur” ein ausführliches Video, in dem aber immerhin die wichtigsten Spielelemente und Vorzüge erkennbar waren.

Mit dem klassischen 2D-Zeldas hat dieses Spiel etwa so viel zu tun wie Super Mario 64 mit Super Mario World - nämlich wenig! Das Grundspielprinzip ist zwar noch das gleiche, doch dank der kompletten dreidimensionalen Gestaltung und den dementsprechenden spielerischen Änderungen hat man vom Spiel einen völlig anderen Eindruck. Wenn man nun mit den Helden Link durch das Land Hyrule marschiert, mit Leuten spricht, fiese Monster bekämpft oder Rätsel löst, dann erinnert dies viel mehr an Super Mario 64 als an die direkten Vorgänger.

Ein Nachfolger für Super Mario 64?

Dieser Eindruck liegt zum Großteil sicherlich an der schnuckeligen Grafik, die mit einer weiteren-wickelten 3D-Engine von Super Mario 64 dargestellt wird. Bei weiterhin absoluter Bewegungsfreiheit bekommt man diesmal jedoch weitaus detailliertere und realistischere Texturen zu sehen, was durch das 128 MBit-Modul möglich wird. Es ist übrigens zu erwarten, daß die Gespräche mit den Charakteren zum größten Teil per Sprachausgabe abgehalten werden. Ob diese eingedeutscht wird, ist noch nicht entschieden.

In einem Punkt entschiedet sich Zelda deutlich von der Jump&Run-Konkurrenz: Es hat sowohl wesentlich mehr knifflige Rätsel als auch Kampfeinlagen zu bieten. Abgesehen davon, daß Link nun wie Mario durch einen Sprung die Gegner besiegen kann, ist er zu Beginn lediglich mit einem kurzen und einem langen Schwert bewaffnet, die ausschließlich im Nahkampf verwendet werden können. Im Laufe des Spiels bekommt man allerdings auch explosive Granaten sowie Pfeil und Bogen präsentiert. Mit ersterem hat man es besonders eifach, denn die Bomben wirft Link automatisch an die richtige Stelle. Anders verhält es sich mit Pfeil und Bogen, hier kann man die Monster zwar auch aus sichrer Enterbung erledigen, allerdings nur sofern man gut genug zielt. Man sollte mit den Pfeilen sparsam umgehen, denn sonst ist der Köcher schneller leer als einem lieb ist, und die Monster zapfen einem jede Menge Lebensenergie ab. In diesem Fall empfiehlt es sich, zum Baum der Fee zu gehen, da man dort ein entsprechendes Wesen antrifft, das einem Lebensenergie zurückgibt.

Alles neu?

Man darf davon ausgehen, daß ein Großteil der Spielelemente aus Zelda 4 übernommen wird, allerdings nicht unverändert. Beispielsweise kommen auch die Hühner wieder vor, diesmal sind sie jedoch weder Feinde noch Verbündete. Daß man durch den Einsatz von Bomben oder Pfeilen auch Wege freilegt, indem man einen Schalter von weitem betätigt oder Mauern sprengt, kennt man auch schon.

Erster Eindruck

Titel: Zelda 64 Genre: Action Adventure Spieler: 1 Levels: tba. Hersteller: Nintendo Preis: tba. Release: Anfang 1998 Einschätzung: Super

Beurteilung: Das Messevideo Matche die Stärke von Zelda 64 deutlich: Nicht die Grafik, sondern das unglaublich faszinierende Gameplay verleihen diesem Game eine Ausnahme-Status.

What a pity ! We had been so looking forward to the first playable version of the fifth Zelda game - it has been shown "only " a detailed video where after all, the most important game elements and benefits were still recognizable .

With the classic 2D Zelda , this game has about as much to do as Super Mario 64 Super Mario World - namely little! Although the basic gameplay is still the same , but thanks to the complete three-dimensional design and the corresponding thereto playful changes you from the game a completely different impression. If one now with the hero Link marched through the land of Hyrule , talking to people , fight nasty monsters or solving puzzles , then this reminds a lot more to Super Mario 64 as the direct predecessor .

A successor to Super Mario 64 ?

This impression is mostly certainly on the dinky graphic that is displayed with a further -developed 3D engine from Super Mario 64 . Assuming the total freedom of movement but this time you get to see much more detailed and realistic textures , which is made possible by the 128 Mbit module. It is to be expected , moreover, that the talks will be held with the characters for the most part by the voice synthesizer . Whether this is Germanized , is not yet decided.

On another point, Zelda entschiedet significantly from the Jump & Run competition : it has to offer both a lot more tricky puzzles and fight deposits. Besides the fact that Link can now defeat as Mario by jumping the opponent, he is armed to the beginning only a short and a long sword , which can only be used in close combat. As the game progresses , however, you also get explosive grenades as well as bows and arrows presented . With the former one has particularly eifach because the bomb automatically raises the link into place . The situation is different with bow and arrow , here you can see the monster even safer from disinheritance do , but only as long as you aim well enough. One should use the arrows sparingly , otherwise the quiver is empty faster than one would like , and the monsters tap into a lot of life energy. In this case it is advisable to go to the tree of the fairy , as it there encounters a corresponding entity that returns a life energy.

Everything is new ?

It may be assumed that a large part of the gameplay elements from Zelda 4 is accepted, but not unchanged. For example, even the chickens come forward again , but this time they are neither enemies nor allies. That one uncovered by the use of bombs or arrows also ways by pressing a switch from a distance or walls blasts , one already knows .

first impression

Title: Zelda 64 Genre: Action Adventure Players: 1 Levels: tba . Manufacturer: Nintendo Price: tba . Release : early 1998 Assessment : Super

Evaluation: The fair video Matche the strength of Zelda 64 clearly not the graphics but the incredibly fascinating gameplay give this game an exception status.

Beim Betreten eines Raumes wird ab und zu - wie gehabt - auf die Vogelperspektive umgeschaltet.

Die Hühner sind diesmal weder Freunde noch Feinde, doch einmal muß man sie fast angreifen.

Besonderen Wert legten die Designer auf viele Szenarien.

Diese Riesenechsen greifen Link gemeinsam an.

Die Bomben sind im Nahkampf besonders gut geeignet, denn Link muß damit nicht einmal zielen.

When entering a room will from time to time - as usual - switched to the bird's eye view.

The chickens are this time neither friends nor enemies, but once you have to attack them almost.

Attached great importance to the designer many scenarios.

These giant lizards grab link together.

The bombs are particularly well suited in close combat, because the link does not even have to aim.

Ohne Zweifel das beeindruckendste Spiel auf der Messe. Auch wenn die gezeigte Version auf der Messe nur ein gekürztes Demo war, konnte deutlich erkannt werden, dass es sich um das spektakulärste N64-Game überhaupt handelt! Links Kumpel ist eine Fee namens Naive, die auf seinen Reisen über seinem Kopf schwebt und ihn mit einer schrecklich hohen japanischen Stimme vor Gefahren warnt. Sie kann auch bestimmte Gegenstände tragen, so dass Link seine Hände für wichtige Waffen frei hat.

Kämpfe wurden geschickt im Spiel integriert. So kann Link mit der Standard-Einstellung in einem Sekundenbruchteil zwischen Angriff und Verteidigung wechseln. Trägt er jedoch ein Breitschwert, muss er dieses mit beiden Händen halten und kann den Schild nicht wehr verwenden!

Die schlechte Nachricht ist, dass Zelda 64 mal wieder verschoben wurde. Zur Zeit wird der April angestrebt. Leider müssen wir uns noch etwas gedulden…

—

Without a doubt the most impressive game at the fair. Even though the version shown only a shortened demo was at the show, could be clearly recognized that it is the most spectacular N64 game ever! Links buddy is a fairy named Naive, which floats on his trips over his head and warns him with a terribly high Japanese voice from danger. You can also carry certain items, so that link his hands for important weapons has off.

Fights were cleverly integrated in the game. So the link may change with the default setting in a fraction of a second between attack and defense. However, he wears a broadsword, he shall keep it with both hands and can not use the defense shield!

The bad news is that Zelda was moved 64 times again. The time of April is intended. Unfortunately we have to wait a bit ...

Nintendo

Wenn man bedenkt, daß es sich um die Nintendos Show handelt, war das eigene Lineup ziemlich enttäuschend. Ja, sie zeigten solche mit Spannung erwarteten Titel wie Zelda 64, Yoshi’s Story, und F-Zero X in spielbarer Form. Ja, sie versprachen mehr 64DD-Titel und neue Zusatzhardware für unsere Konsole. Aber das 64DD war immer noch nur auf einem Bildschirm und unter Glas zu sehen.

Zelda 64

Aber laßt uns mit den guten Neuigkeiten beginnen. Der große Titel der Show, sowohl in Hinsicht der Erwartungen als auch bei der Anzahl der Display-Bildschirme auf der Show, war Zelda 64: The Ocarina of Time (auch TOOT gennant). Die Version auf der Messe war zu 70% fertiggestellt und durfte zum Teil gespielt werden. Lediglich einige Kampfszenen, simple Puzzles, Ausritte auf dem Pferd und Endgegner im frühen Stadium durften Die Eröffnungsszene des Spiels zeigt Junior-Link (von Link gibt es im Spiel zwei Versionen - das Kind in der Vergangenheit und der junge Mann in der Gegenwart) während einer Konfrontation mit dem bedrohlichen, dösen Ganondorf - ein wunderbares stück Technik, das zeigt, daß keine FMV-Sequenzen von der CD umgespielt werden hüssen, um eine Geschichte zu ?zählen. Goemon und Diddy Kong Racing deuteten die Möglichkeiten an, über Zelda 64 geht loch einige Schritte ?eiter. Bis jetzt ist nur Schwer zu erkennen, ob das Spiel als solches auch wirklich grandiosen Spielspaß ?etet, da fast nur Action-?eladene Szenen und keine ?dungen, größere Puzzles der Interaktionen mit harakteren zu ?em waren. Mal ?z abgesehen ? der ?espache, daß mich die japanischen Schriftzeichen vollends irritierten. Jetzt ist uns auch endlich betußt geworden, wofür die farbigen Kreise hinter den Icons auf dem Bildschirm sind. Sie deuten einfach nur auf die Controller-Knöpfe hin. B (grün) ist ein Aktions-Knopf, mit dem beispielsweise Schatztruhen geöffnet oder mit Personen gesprochen wird, A (blau) aktiviert die momentan angewählte Waffe, und die unteren drei C-Knöpfe (gelb) können mit Objekten belegt werden (Bomben oder Bumerangs werfen). Auf Druck des R-Knopfes hebt Link seinen Schild, und der Z-Knopf fixier den Blickwinkel, was in heißen Kämpfen durchaus sinnvoll ist. Wann auch immer der Blickwinkel fixiert wird oder Link in Action ist, werden Randbalken für einen Breitbild-Effekt auf das Bild gelegt, was zwar nicht notwendig gewesen wäre, aber cool aussieht! Im Demo auf der Show gab es einige Monster zu sehen: Killer-Planzen (große Ähnlichkeit mit denen in Mario 64), Riesen-Echsen, Skelette, Dinosaurier und eine Art von einem Piranha-Fisch, der aber durch Sand schwimmt und nicht durch Wasser! Link kann zu jederzeit seinen Schild erheben und sich verteidigen, eine interessante Funktion, um nicht das ganze Spiel in wildes Herumgehackt ausarten zu lassen.

Gerüchte darüber, daß sich Zelda 64 als Tomb Raider-Klon entpuppt, sind völlig grundlos. Klar kann Link durch die Gegend hoppeln und klettern, aber das tut er bei Bedarf automatisch. Kein Ausrutscher ins Wasser oder in die Lava, nur weil man ?eite Millisekunde zu spät den Sprung-Knopf gedrückt hat! Spieler müssen ? allem herausfinden, wo Link etwas ?machen soll, da Zelda 64 die ???fähigkeiten des N64 in ‘realistischer’ Manier ausnutzt, sind die Tage des leichten Aufspürens geheimer Orte vorbei. Alles muß wie ? nichtigen Leben mit viel Mühe ?scht werden. Ein Beispiel wurde mir gezeigt: Eine geheime Passage in einer Höhle kann mit einer Bombe geöffnet werden - wer von geheimen Durchgängen nichts ahnt und auch leichte Farbabweichungen in Wänden nicht erkennt, wird Problem bekommen. Es bedarf aber nur kurzer Gewöhnungszeit, und die elementaren Dinge in Zelda 64 liegen auf dem Silbertablett. Kampfaktionen bilden

Nintendo

When you consider that this is the Nintendo show, one's own lineup was pretty disappointing. Yes , they showed such highly anticipated titles such as Zelda 64 , Yoshi 's Story , and F- Zero X in playable form. Yes , they promised more 64DD title and new additional hardware for our console. But the 64DD was still only be seen on a screen and under glass.

Zelda 64

But let 's start with the good news. The big title of the show , both in terms of expectations as well as in the number of display screens on the show, Zelda 64 was : The Ocarina of Time (also TOOT gennant ) . The version at the show was completed to 70% and could be played in part . Only a few fight scenes , simple puzzles, rides on horseback and bosses in the early stage were The opening scene of the game shows Junior -Link (from the link there in game two versions - the child in the past, and the young man in the present) during a confrontation with the threatening , dozing Ganondorf - a wonderful piece of art that shows that no FMV sequences are translated plays from the CD Hüssen to include a story ? . Goemon and Diddy Kong Racing hinted at the possibilities of Zelda 64 hole goes some steps ? Pus . Until now only focus is to identify whether the game as such, is also really terrific fun ? Etet , since almost only action ? Eladene scenes and no connections ? , Larger puzzle of interactions with harakteren to ? Em were . Time? Z apart ? the espache ? , that the Japanese characters irritated me completely . Now we are also finally become betußt what the colored circles behind the icons on the screen . Simply indicate only the controller knobs . B ( green) is an action button that is used to open , for example, treasure chests or talked to people , A (blue ) activates the currently selected weapon , and the lower three C- buttons (yellow) can be assigned to objects ( bombs or boomerangs throw ) . Under pressure from the R- button link raises his shield, and the Z Button fixable the viewing angle , which is quite useful in hot battles . Whenever the angle is fixed or is Link in Action , edge beams are placed on a widescreen effect to the image , which indeed would not have been necessary, but it looks cool ! In the demo on the show , there were some monsters to see : Killer Planzen ( very similar to those in Mario 64) , giant lizards, skeletons , dinosaur and a kind of a piranha fish that swims through sand but not by water ! Link may at any time raise his shield and defend itself, an interesting feature to not let it degenerate the whole game around in wild Chopped .

Rumors that Zelda 64 emerges as Tomb Raider clone , are totally groundless. Sure you can link hopping and climbing through the area, but he does it automatically when needed. No slip into the water or into the lava just because you ? Has pressed eite millisecond too late the jump button ! Players need ? find out everything, where Link should do something ? because Zelda 64 ? capabilities of the N64 in ' realistic ' style exploits , the days of easy tracing of secret places are over. Everything must be like ? void life be deleted with much trouble? . An example was shown to me : A secret passage in a cave can be opened with a bomb - who suspects nothing of secret passageways and slight color variations in walls not knowing this, will get problem. It only takes a short time to get used , and the elementary things are in Zelda 64 on a silver platter . Make martial actions

ZELDA 64 - allein dieser Name scheint die Videospielfans bis unter die Haarspitzen zu elektrisieren. Wo immer wir von Nintendo auftauchen - zum Beispiel auf der Internationalen Funkausstellung in Berlin - werden wir mit Fragen όber dieses Spiel όberhδuft. Auch durch Eure Briefe ziehen sich die Fragen nach ZELDA 64 wie ein roter Faden. Und die Jungs aus unserer Spieleberatung werden am Telefon ebenfalls angebettelt, Zelda-News preiszugeben. Wir haben fόr dieses Preview die wichtigsten Informationen όber ZELDA 64 zusammengetragen. Auf diese Weise kφnnen wir zumindest die Wartezeit auf das Spiel des Jahrhunderts etwas verkόrzen. (mp)

Die Legende lebt!

Egal, ob auf dem Nintendo Entertainment System, dem Super Nintendo oder dem Game Boy, die Spiele aus der Zelda-Serie haben fόr jedes System ein neues Rollenspiel-Zeitalter eingelδutet. Und so wird es auch sein, wenn Zelda 64 im kommenden Jahr in Deutschland eintreffen wird. Zelda - dieser Name steht fόr hφchste Qualitδt. Die Spiele dieser Reihe sind an Einfallsreichtum, Kreativitδt und Langzeitfaszination nicht zu όberbieten. Wenn es um Zelda geht, ist fόr Shigeru Miyamoto das Beste gerade mal gut genug. Und so ist es auch zu erklδren, daί sich der Verφffentlichungstermin von ZELDA 64 etwas hinausgezφgert hat. Links neues Abenteuer muί den allerhφchsten Ansprόchen genόgen. Nintendo will mit ZELDA 64 erneut ein Zeichen setzen. Wir zweifeln beim Anblick der ersten Videosequenzen keine Sekunde daran, daί dies gelingt. Das Team um Miyamoto wird im kommenden Frόhjahr ein Spiel verφffentlichen, das die Konkurrenz das Fόrchten lehren wird. Verlaίt Euch drauf!

Ganons dδmonische Rόckkehr

Wo ein Held wie Link sein Schwert schwingt, darf auch ein waschechter Bφsewicht nicht fehlen. Wer sich mit Ganon in der Vergangenheit schon die wildesten Schlachten geliefert hat, darf sich auf ein Wiedersehen freuen. Im Mittelpunkt steht natόrlich erneut die schφne Prinzessin Zelda, die mehr denn je auf Links Heldenmut angewiesen ist. Auch in der neuen Folge des Abenteuers wird ihr das Amulett Triforce zum Verhδngnis. Um an dieses kostbare Mysterium heranzukommen, sind Ganon alle Mittel recht. So gerδt die Prinzessin schnell in die Fδnge des bestialischen Despoten. ZELDA 64 wird όbrigens auch erklδren, wie sich Ganon von einem kleinen Tagedieb zu diesem beinahe όbermδchtigen Dδmon entwickeln konnte.

Grφίer, bunter, abenteuerlicher - das Land Hyrule

Nie war Hyrule so realistisch wie heute! Dank der ungebremsten Nintendo 64-Power werdet ihr die Landschaft des Landes Hyrule in nie gekannter Schφnheit erleben. Leichte Nebelschwaden liegen όber den Seen und die Flora und Fauna erstrahlt in unglaublich brillanten Farben. Eine Welt, die so groί ist, daί sie Link an einem Tag des Spiels zu Fuί niemals durchqueren kφnnte. Deshalb haben ihm die Programmierer ein ganz besonderes Fortbewegungsmittel mit auf seine lange Reise gegeben. Welches, das wollen wir Euch aber noch nicht verraten.

Hyrule wird so abwechslungsreich wie nie zuvor sein. Endlose Gebirgszόge, tiefe Tδler, ein fast undurchdringlicher Zauberwald und der mystische Zola-See sind nur einige der eindrucksvollen Schauplδtze. Das Schloί Hyrule ist von einer Stadt umbegen, in der das Leben nur so pulsiert. Freut Euch auf die Erkundung der schφnsten Cyberwelt aller Zeiten!

Link - ein Held zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft

Von drei Zeichnungen, die uns Nintendo-Fans schicken, ist auf mindestens zweien Link abgebildet. Der grόn gekleidete Held scheint auf Eurer Beliebtheitsskala also ganz oben zu stehen (Anm. der Red.: Nicht nur bei Krissi Schόtz...) Das hat Link so angespornt, daί er in der Zwischenzeit mδchtig trainiert hat. Seine Schwertkόnste sind kaum noch vergleichbar mit seinen frόheren Angriffs-und-Verteidigungsvarianten. Er verfόgt jetzt όber zehn verschiedene Mφglichkeiten, sein Schwert auf unerbittliche Widersacher niedersausen zu lassen. Auch mit Pfeil und Bogen ist er kaum noch zu schlagen. Ihm stehen unterschiedliche Pfeile zur Verfόgung, die er auch noch auf verschiedene Art und Weise abschieίen kann. Natόrlich haben es sich die Programmierer auch nicht nehmen lassen, die Kampfszenen mit der Motion Capture-Technik so realistisch wie nur irgendwie mφglich zu gestalten. Was wir gesehen haben, war unglaublich schnell und absolut ruckelfrei.

Die Zahl des Jahres: 256 Megabit!!!

Ist das nicht der absolute Hammer? Mit exakt 256 stolzen Megabit wird das ZELDA 64-Modul daherkommen und damit alles in den Schatten stellen, was sich sonst noch so Videospiel nennt. Eine Zahl, die uns alle elektrisiert hat. Stellt Euch nur vor, was man in 256 Megabit alles an Rδtseln, aufregenden Puzzles, genialen Kampfszenen, fantastschen Hintergrόnden, dδmonischen Gegnern, hόbschen Prinzessinnen, einmaligen Landschaften usw. hineinpacken kann! Noch haben wir das komplette Spiel nicht gesehen. Doch bald schon werden wir fόr Euch auch einen deutschen Bildschirmtext zaubern, der die mystische Wirkung dieses Rollenspiels noch verstδrken wird. Zδhlt die Tage bis zum Frόhjahr, ZELDA 64 kommt jede Stunde ein kleines Stόckchen nδher!

Zelda 64 - this name seems to make video game fans' hair stand on end. Wherever we show up - for example, at the International Consumer Electronics Fair in Berlin - we are inundated with questions about this game. Questions about Zelda 64 are a common theme in your letters, and the guys on the phone with our game consulting line have been begging to reveal Zelda news. We have compiled the most important information about Zelda 64 for this preview. This way, we can at least make the wait for the game of the century a little shorter.

The legend lives on!

Whether on the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo, or the Game Boy, the games from the Zelda series ushered in a new era of role-playing on each system, and will do it once again when Zelda 64 arrives in Germany next year. Zelda - this name stands for the highest quality. The games in this series are unsurpassed in ingenuity, creativity, and long-term fascination.

When it comes to Zelda, only the best is good enough for Shigeru Miyamoto, and that is why the release date of Zelda 64 has been slightly delayed. Link's new adventure must satisfy the highest demands. Nintendo will set a new example with Zelda 64. After seeing the first video clips, we have no doubt that it'll succeed. The team led by Miyamoto will publish a game next spring that will give the competition something to be afraid of. Bet on it!

Ganon's demonic return

Wherever a hero like Link swings his sword, a true villain can never be far. Those who fought fiercely against Ganon in the past can look forward to seeing him again. [note: this sentence was awkward for me to translate -D] The beautiful Princess Zelda naturally takes center stage once again, and she's depending on Link's heroism more than ever. In the latest chapter of the adventure, the Triforce is once again in peril. Ganon will get his hands on this precious mystery by any means necessary, and the Princess is soon caught in the clutches of evil. Zelda 64 will incidentally also explain how Ganon could turn from a little good-for-nothing into this nearly overpowering demon.

Bigger, more colorful, more adventurous - the land of Hyrule

Hyrule has never looked so realistic before! Thanks to the unbridled power of the Nintendo 64, you will experience the unprecedented beauty of Hyrule's landscape. Light fog floats above the lakes, and the flora and fauna shine with incredibly brilliant colors. The world is so big, Link could never cross it on foot in a single day of game time. Therefore, the programmers have given him a very special means of traveling long distances on his journey. We won't give away too much just yet.

Hyrule will be as diverse as ever. Endless mountain ranges, deep valleys, an almost impenetrable magical forest, and the mystical Zola [sic] Lake are just some of the impressive locales. Hyrule Castle is surrounded by a scenic city pulsing with life. Look forward to visiting the most beautiful cyber world of all time!

Link - a hero between past and future

Out of every three drawings that Nintendo fans send us, at least two of them are of Link. The green-clad hero is at the top of the popularity scale (editor's note: Not just to Krissi Schütz...) This has inspired Link so much that he has been training vigorously in the meantime. His sword skills are hardly comparable to his past attack and defense techniques. He now has ten different ways to let his sword rain down on unrelenting foes. Even with a bow and arrow, he is hard to beat. He is assisted by various arrows that he can also shoot in different ways.

Naturally, the programmers also took the opportunity to use motion-capture technology to make the fight scenes as realistic as humanly possible. What we saw was incredibly fast and totally smooth.

The number of the year: 256 megabits!!!

Is that not absolutely incredible? With exactly 256 mighty megabits, the Zelda 64 cartridge will come along and eclipse every other so-called video game. The number has electrified us all. Imagine all the exciting puzzles, brilliant battles, fantastic backgrounds, demonic enemies, pretty princesses, unique landscapes, etc., that can be crammed into 256 megabits!

We still haven't seen the whole game, but soon we will conjure up a German screen text [see note -D] that will add to the mystical effect of this RPG. Count the days until spring, Zelda 64 is getting closer by the hour!

[note: "screen text" was "Bildschirmtext", possibly something involving a now defunct German network service of the same name - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildschirmtext.

Or, it could just refer to some other thing Club Nintendo was doing, I have no idea]

TOTAL! 7/98, page 11, Zelda: Ocarina of Time E3 coverage

The Story

A long time ago, before Ganon stole the Triforce and kidnapped Zelda, a fearless warrior named Link began his initiation ceremony in the Maze Forest [lit. "Maze-Wälder", maybe they took "Maze" to be a name?]. It was the custom of his tribe, the Kokiri family, that young men were assigned a guardian spirit or fairy, that'll be by their side and guide them through life.

But as Link was roaming through the forest, he saw that a monster had kidnapped one of the fairies. Chivalrously he rushed to her help and fend off the monster, but the fairy was already fatally wounded. With her dying breath she asked Link to prevent the King of the Thieves, Ganon, from taking the Triforce, and to find a wise man with a spirit stone, and warned him from this danger [TBH unclear to me who's meant by what]. At the same time, Ganon reached the Maze Forest and closed in on the secret place, where the Triforce was preserved. Princess Zelda knew about this place, but to save the Triforce, three magical stones had to be found.

And with that begins the adventure, and Shigeru Miyamoto only tells little more: "There are three special gemstones called "Spiritual Stones". Three of the races of Hyrule view these stones as sacred objects. The Ocarina is the most well-kept treasure of the royal family. These stones and the Ocarina are the keys to a secret, sacred place that the player may only reach once they're acquired all four items, which they have to find in Hyrule. The world is immensely big. I won't yet say how many towns and dungeons there are. Only so much beforehand: There's six races in Hyrule, and they all have their own territory."

I'd prefer to keep it on TCRF so it all gets archived there, since The GCN is behind a registration wall and the stuff from there doesn't usually make it over to TCRF unless I try to track it down and document it It's just going to be a chore for me to try and document all the findings on TCRF myself when the people on The GCN inevitably don't It would be nice if more of the talented people from The GCN started participating at TCRF I was happy to see these guys show up

It's just good to have a centralized location to log findings for future addition to an article and just for general knowledge purposes So a forum thread or wiki page would be good for that, with the IRC channel as an added bonus, since it's impermanent

Zelda - stories and reality

Role-playing games in general, and games in the Zelda series in particular, are very much dependent on the atmosphere created by the programmer . It does not suffice to show pretty graphics and cool enemies , but the interplay of the different elements must be perfect. The plot of the story must be like a red thread through the entire game , the background music should correspond to game situations , and the demands on the players should grow steadily along with its capabilities. Shigeru Miyamoto was responsible for compliance with the above-mentioned interaction . He took care to ensure that the story written by Kensuke Tanabe to Zelda and Link was meticulously observed and each time was logically comprehensible . The graphical implementation of real objects , such as the castle in The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past , which is the Nijo Castle modeled in the heart of Kyoto , was another component of the success of the adventure series .

Club_N_Magazin_10-98,_Zelda_Story,_OoT,_Zelda_Comic_Das_Tor_zur_Zeit,_Teil_3

Chronologically, is The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time , the first part of the Zelda saga. The action takes place in front of the third part (A Link to the Past ) . At that time, Link lived not in the vicinity of the town of Hyrule , but im not far away Kokiri Forest . Thither he had brought his mother after the war had begun in Hyrule .

(For more on this history in the forthcoming Club Nintendo Special. )

Links mother let your life when she gave birth to her offspring to the Kokiri , because no being of a different race I was fortunate to survive in the Kokiri forest. Link , however, survived , as the Deku Tree , a representative of the gods on earth , saw him as a young man before were the great tasks. For this reason, he allowed the young Hylian life in Kokiri . Link got himself from all that with nothing , that he was too young to understand what happened ... It was not until years later, Link noticed that he was different from the other inhabitants of the village. He possessed namely the only one leg Fairy! Any other Kokiri was accompanied by a small magical creatures since its birth. Only link does not , which earned him some derision in the village ...

Simultaneously, the Deku Tree sensed a threat that approached unstoppable. This was the sign that the time had come to make the link familiar with his determination for the old branches. For this reason he story the fairy Naive ans, which should be left protector from now on ... The threat that predicted the Great Deku Tree , mainly went from a person , from Ganondorf , the Lord of thieves who had entered into a pact with evil forces and now as the demon Ganon caused mischief . The Fall of the Empire Hygienic seemed predetermined. Only one soldier of the Good was able to avert the impending fate ... Link !

[2:50am] <zer0jay> Only the people at the publisher would have something like that. [2:50am] <zer0jay> Er. [2:50am] <GlitterBerri> So it was reversed-hacked by a fan, likely, and not leaked from someone inside? [2:50am] <zer0jay> At the console manufacturer would have it. [2:50am] <GlitterBerri> I feel better about that, if that's the case, because I wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble [2:50am] <einstein95> GlitterBerri: +1 against cen [2:51am] <zer0jay> It's far more likely for it to have been cracked by someone outside than someone leaking a key inside. Very very few people would have something like that or even would know what it is they have if they did. [2:52am] <zer0jay> You have to understand that most of the tools we use either don't encrypt anything as there's no need to do so with devkits. [2:52am] <zer0jay> Or they are but we don't have decryption. [2:53am] <zer0jay> For instance, creating a patch package... the software likely encrypts it before being sent off, but likely goes through a second round on the manufacturer's side. [2:53am] <zer0jay> But never ever have I seen any sort of encryption/decryption key simply handed out. It makes no sense. [2:54am] <GlitterBerri> Thanks for your insight! [2:54am] <GlitterBerri> Good to know :) [2:54am] <BMF[Mobile]> actual game developer: 1 [2:54am] <Ninjifox> or take the Wii as an example [2:54am] <BMF[Mobile]> cen: 0 [2:54am] <Ninjifox> everything on the Wii is encrypted with the common key [2:54am] <GlitterBerri> cen: -23678437 [2:54am] <Ninjifox> debug consoles use a different common key [2:54am] <zer0jay> Truth is that yes, if someone were to get fired, yes, that's bad, but they took that risk to begin with. If you're being stupid, you will suffer for your choices. [2:55am] <zer0jay> Ninjifox: But neither key is actually known. [2:55am] <Ninjifox> so developers can create code that runs on dev Wiis, but this cannot run on retail consoles [2:55am] <Ninjifox> oh? [2:55am] <GlitterBerri> Certainly, but as someone who personally benefits from a leaker's actions, I wouldn't want to inadvertently cause them to be punished for helping me [2:55am] <zer0jay> Ninjifox: Everything's done by proprietary programs written by Nintendo/Sony/etc... [2:56am] <zer0jay> Anything like keys aren't known by developers directly unless they went hacking around on the programs or something. [2:56am] <zer0jay> It's not handed to you. [2:56am] <einstein95> "Dear diary, today has been a good day..." [2:57am] <zer0jay> I'll give you an example. [2:57am] <zer0jay> I jumped in to take a task from a developer's hands just because I like fucking with devkits and learning about them. [2:57am] <zer0jay> So I had to take some of Sony's sample source code and create an installable pkg file for PS4. [2:58am] <zer0jay> You run a program (orbis-pkg-gen.exe) to create the package, give it a package name, Content ID, set up some parameters and then pass it the required files. [2:58am] <zer0jay> eboot.bin, etc... [2:58am] » Ninjifox nods [2:58am] <zer0jay> If everything's cool, the package is created. [2:58am] <zer0jay> Boom, you're done. [2:59am] <zer0jay> You know nothing about what sort of encryption is used or anything like that. [2:59am] <zer0jay> It's all done without you seeing it. [2:59am] <einstein95> Magic! [2:59am] <zer0jay> You verify the package with another program... again, all happens behind the scenes. [2:59am] <Ninjifox> but still.. like you say, this could be reverse-engineered from the tools-- the point I was trying to make is that Nintendo (and likely others) split things apart, so that while developers are able to write code that runs on dev consoles, everything that runs on a retail console has to be encrypted/signed/approved by Nintendo themselves [3:00am] <zer0jay> Yes, absolutely. [3:00am] <Ninjifox> and there's no way that people could actually get the required keys even by hacking around with the SDK tools [3:00am] <Ninjifox> otherwise the Wii would have been cracked wide open with a single SDK leak :V [3:00am] <zer0jay> You don't hand the keys to the kingdom to the peasants. [3:01am] <zer0jay> No one outside of the big three have those keys and only a few engineers at best. [3:01am] <zer0jay> You send them your shit, they do their thing, you're approved for manufacturing and away you go. [3:02am] <Ninjifox> yep, that's how I understood it

0x3F48A0 - Magic Actor Spawn in RAM.

There are the three normal spells. Then a word of some instruction (I forget off the top of my head) a four 00's and one 08. There may have been only seven spells, not eight. My mistake.

[3:47pm] <Three_Pendants> Here's a possible neat little tidbit. Did you know the Alpha Jump Strike isn't just in the game, but is still considered as a valid animation pointer? [3:48pm] <Three_Pendants> It is right after the normal Jump Strike and also has it's x2 Damage still coded into it.

0xC23130 - 04002A60 - Alpha Jump Strike (No way to access this line of code that I know of, but you can easily copy and move it) 0xC23134 - 04002A50 - End Animation 0xC23138 - 04002A50 - Exactly as above. 0xC2313C - 010A0000 - Hit Detection (NOTE: Seeing the Alpha Jump Strike in full with its actions makes it clear why it was dropped all together. It is less effective than the Jump Strike in every way, When you attack from the air the blade is behind Link rather than in front of him so until he lands he is vulnerable. It would actually make the game a little more difficult.) 0xC23140 - 04002900 - Jump Strike 0xC23144 - 04002910 - End Animation 0xC23148 - 04002910 - Exactly as above. 0xC2314C - 010B0000 - Hit Detection 0xC23150 - 04022A50 - End Animation for Alpha Jump Strike (Cannot Access) 0xC23154 - 04022A58 - End Animation 0xC23158 - 04022A58 - Exactly as above. 0xC2315C - 00050000 - Hit Detection 0xC23160 - 04002910 - Jump Strike End Animation 0xC23164 - 04002908 - End Animation 0xC23168 - 04002908 - Exactly as above. 0xC2316C - 01020000 - Hit Detection -----------------------------------------------

Also you can enter Dampe's house normally too :o I think you can in every Graveyard cutscene. he doesn't yell at you I forget if those time activated doors are dynamic or not... also soft patch of dirt is more in the corner in the cutscene and in the final its more to the left near the ledge's middle section There is also no windmill propellers o3o Also bugs don't work on the soft patch of dirt in the graveyard in that cutscene they refuse to go in it

[5:52pm] <Three_Pendants> Did you know that the Silver Block that is present in the Spirit Temple as Young Link is completely unmovable? I found the Silver Gauntlets code a while back and thought that maybe Link could now finally push that block (since it is age based and vanishes as an adult) alas, he cannot. It is neat though to see that they included the animation to scale properly when Young Link picks up a Golden Gauntlets tower.

[7:29pm] <Three_Pendants> 009E00F4 009F0000 304C01F4 00000000 00080000 304C01F4 is some kind of instruction, it is in the middle of all that though.

[7:15pm] <Three_Pendants> There's room for 08 spells actually and this aligns well with the idea of 5 Damaging +3 Non-damaging spells. [7:15pm] <Three_Pendants> That said there's only MP entries for six and animation specifics for 3.

[8:21pm] <Three_Pendants> As in the sequence of bytes for the first two lines are exact at both separate value of Slingshot and Sword. [8:21pm] <Three_Pendants> Despite them being seperated by a fair amount. [8:21pm] <Three_Pendants> 232528 - Slingshot 23AE28 - Sword Attack [8:22pm] <Three_Pendants> There may be a pattern here... that they're both 23XX28 is likely not a coincidence.

[12:13pm] <Airikita> I found the values for what items link uses. [12:13pm] <GlitterBerri> Sweet, where at? [12:13pm] <Airikita> A table of arrow types and sword types, etc... [12:13pm] <GlitterBerri> Nice! I’d lvoe to see it [12:13pm] <Airikita> Starts at 803F403C in RAM. [12:13pm] <Airikita> While not paused.

tell him - the exciters

[9:27pm] <sakura> That 2D effect actually gets used, it loads two meshes for the spin attack [9:27pm] <sakura> When the outer one is disabled, you can see the inner one properly [9:28pm] <sakura> It looks like the beta spin attack, I'd guess that they just added to it

[1:34am] <GlitterBerri> http://s477.photobucket.com/user/Riggy23/media/EVERYTHING%20ZELDA/Triforce_room.png.html?sort=3&o=101 [1:34am] <GlitterBerri> aa it’s perfect [1:36am] <Takuhi> Yep [1:36am] <Takuhi> made that forever ago [1:36am] <Takuhi> It using the correct textures too [1:36am] <Takuhi> THE ACTUAL TEXTURES from that time [1:37am] <GlitterBerri> what? Where did you find those? [1:37am] <GlitterBerri> Are they still in the game? [1:38am] <Takuhi> The black texture, is just peach's castle texture colours inverted and bowser boss 1's floor [1:38am] <GlitterBerri>

O :O :O

[1:38am] <Takuhi> Super Mario 64 [1:38am] <GlitterBerri> Wow, I’ll have to note that in my prerelease article [1:38am] <GlitterBerri> Too cool! [1:38am] <Takuhi> Stalfos boss room, its textures also come from Super Mario 64 [1:38am] <GlitterBerri> Really? Where in SM64? [1:39am] <GlitterBerri> http://s477.photobucket.com/user/Riggy23/media/EVERYTHING%20ZELDA/hyrule0000-4.jpg.html?sort=3&o=168 [1:39am] <GlitterBerri> hrrrrnnnghhhhh [1:39am] <Takuhi> The castle pillars, boo's mansion [1:39am] <Takuhi> and somewhere else [1:39am] <GlitterBerri> Thats’ so neat. Do you know anything else like that? [1:40am] <Takuhi> King Dodongo's boss room wall is the beta texture from Dodongo's cavern, it just has a redish part added to it, A while ago I just change the colour to match the rest and it fits perfectly from the beta screenshots [1:41am] <Takuhi> You know the big giant maze with the dodognos who didn't open their mouths to blow fire and the fire was like a ring? [1:41am] <Takuhi> yeah that wall texture

[9:24pm] <GlitterBerri> Can you tell me how you proved the identity of the beta arrows and spells? [9:24pm] <GlitterBerri> I’m uncertain how you ascertained what was what [9:24pm] <JSA> simple [9:25pm] <JSA> i modified tired the other arrow values [9:25pm] <JSA> i noticed they didn't have any "magic" around them [9:25pm] <JSA> and did reduce the amount of magic when fired [9:26pm] <JSA> so, i went through the enemies [9:26pm] <JSA> to see if any retained mappings for the additions arrows [9:26pm] <JSA> i found 1 [9:26pm] <JSA> when you used the beta arrows to kill them [9:27pm] <JSA> you got the same item 100% of the time [9:27pm] <JSA> just like LoZ or lttp [9:27pm] <JSA> i should have a copy of that over at glitchkill if you want to see [9:32pm] <GlitterBerri> Please! [9:39pm] <JSA> glitchkill seems to have killed all the zelda content [9:39pm] <JSA> i'm gonna have to use the wayback machine, or google cache [9:41pm] <GlitterBerri> How annoying x_X [9:41pm] <JSA> http://glitchkill.proboards.com/thread/4729/beta-magic-arrows [9:41pm] <JSA> found it [9:42pm] <JSA> the magics are more intresting [9:43pm] <JSA> i got freeze to work on a bubble (floating skull) [9:43pm] <JSA> the ice arrow doesn't have the same effect [9:43pm] <GlitterBerri> Really? Wow, what happens? [9:44pm] <JSA> you can freeze the bubble when you change the damage [9:44pm] <JSA> you change the the fire spell to inflict the unknown(ice spell) damage [9:45pm] <JSA> and the bubble(flying skull) freezes [9:46pm] <JSA> The redeads also seemed to be hit by "light magic" but it was changed to sun song [9:46pm] <JSA> it's obvious they had 6 arrows, and 6 magics in mind [9:47pm] <JSA> 3 offensive magics, 3 defensive magics [9:48pm] <GlitterBerri> So, what does the other stuff do? [9:49pm] <JSA> the unknown entires? [9:50pm] <JSA> still unknown [9:50pm] <JSA> only one of them are even used any more [9:50pm] <JSA> and i couldn't figure out what it did [9:52pm] <JSA> AHh I found another thing! 0001 is the arrow without the green thing 0000 arrow on fire when it goes through a torch. Oh and hey I found another cool thing! [9:52pm] <JSA> that might be the answer right there [9:52pm] <JSA> and might finally close this table up for good [9:52pm] <GlitterBerri> Arrow without the green thing? Eh? [9:53pm] <JSA> it says it's the arrow passing though a torch [9:53pm] <JSA> i forgot that you could do that in OoT [9:53pm] <GlitterBerri> I forgot too [9:53pm] <GlitterBerri> But what’s the green thing? [9:54pm] <JSA> it might account for the final damage mapping [9:54pm] <JSA> the green thing appears on emulators [9:54pm] <GlitterBerri> I don’t know what green thing you’re talking about [9:54pm] <GlitterBerri> Can you describe? [9:54pm] <JSA> i don't recall if it appears on real hard ware [9:54pm] <JSA> yeah [9:54pm] <JSA> it's a line that follows the arrow when you shoot it [9:55pm] <JSA> it could be the wind arrow effect [9:55pm] <JSA> but they added it to the normal arrow [9:55pm] <JSA> so you can see it better [9:55pm] <JSA> when you shoot it [10:00pm] <GlitterBerri> Really? I didn’t notice that ever [10:02pm] <GlitterBerri> You should write down as much information as you have about the arrows and what they affect, then add it to the wiki D: [10:02pm] <GlitterBerri> Or give it to me and I will, and credit you [10:03pm] <JSA> I can do that [10:03pm] <JSA> but it's been a long time ago now [10:04pm] <JSA> i've forgotten as much as i knew i'll bet [10:04pm] <JSA> but i did keep tons of txt files [10:04pm] <JSA> i can dig those up [10:05pm] <JSA> i kinda want to try that arrow through the torch now [10:05pm] <JSA> see if it's the miss entry [10:05pm] <JSA> if it is [10:05pm] <JSA> we're finally done [10:06pm] <GlitterBerri> Please please please! I’d be super interested [10:06pm] <GlitterBerri> Plus, the spells, I’m interested in too [10:06pm] <GlitterBerri> Anything that remains about the arrows and the spells and what they might have done and what they affect [10:06pm] <GlitterBerri> oboy oboy [10:06pm] <JSA> well, i mean [10:07pm] <JSA> you read the glitch kill piece [10:07pm] <JSA> most of it is just plain unmapped [10:07pm] <JSA> unused [10:07pm] <JSA> i do remeber the spells have x2 the damage effect of the arrows [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> How neat [10:08pm] <JSA> also, i was trying to get torches to light [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> I guess my main question is [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> "Wind" Arrow : Magic Jar [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> "Spirit" Arrow : Arrow [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> "Shadow" Arrow : Fairy [10:08pm] <JSA> by seeing if they have a simlar mapping to enemies [10:08pm] <GlitterBerri> What make syou think that particular arrow is the Wind arrow, while the other is the Spirit, while the other is the Shadow? [10:09pm] <JSA> it's the order they come in [10:10pm] <JSA> plus... [10:10pm] <JSA> the first one [10:10pm] <JSA> the wind arrow [10:10pm] <JSA> when used on a bubble... [10:10pm] <JSA> this time, the type in jabu jabu [10:11pm] <JSA> when you used the arrow on then, they "bleed" green when hit [10:15pm] <GlitterBerri> How do you know it’s the order they come in, though? [10:24pm] <john_smith_account> it's just a guess

Did the Deku Stick used to function like the Giant’s Knife/Biggoron Sword? Do Fire Arrows work on ice?

[9:56pm] <Airikita> Three, what was the address of the mp costs for arrows again? [9:56pm] <Three_Pendants> 3F4540

[9:13pm] <Three_Pendants> As far as we are aware the other three spells are Completely Gone and their MP Costs now serve no purpose. If we switch what the game looks for in terms of data to cast the spells or shoot the arrows we have the perfect line up. [9:13pm] <Three_Pendants> That way the arrows would have all six slots they need and magic would have their required three.

[9:15pm] <Three_Pendants> It amuses me though that Nintendo was stingy with space with something they Left In the Game! But was completely fine with the magic taking up an extra word it no longer needed to.

[9:16pm] <Three_Pendants> Alright, at 3F4530 are the MP costs of the Six Spells, the game only uses the last three in this final version.

[9:17pm] <Three_Pendants> At 3F4540 are the MP costs of the Three Arrows,.

[9:18pm] <Three_Pendants> If we switch them then that will give each the required space they need for proper functioning.

[9:19pm] <Three_Pendants> Thanks, I was looking for the MP Cost to the Elemental Arrows for a very long time... and they're one line underneat the Spells, oy...

[9:10pm] <Three_Pendants> The bad news is that they only have four MP support slots. [9:11pm] <GlitterBerri> Hm. So 2 arrows don’t use magic (anymore, at least) [9:11pm] <Three_Pendants> Well if one of those arrows did use magic they drained the whole bar! (00 as an MP cost is All Magic) [9:11pm] <Three_Pendants> I imagine it was just a placeholder and they never got around to implementing their magic.

So... you go to 3F3730 in the Debug Rom and change the 04002318 to 04002310 and there you go!

It's covered by the meshes of the used Spin Attacks.

[12:31am] <CDi-Fails> It's Nintendo Power 112 [12:31am] <CDi-Fails> which I have the PDF for here [12:32am] <CDi-Fails> Also, it takes about two seconds to charge up a small spin attack, so I bet the beam attack would likely have taken its place as first charged attack [12:32am] <CDi-Fails> and also, I doubt you were gifted it by a fairy [12:32am] <CDi-Fails> It's likely that as soon as you got magic you got the attack [12:33am] <CDi-Fails> Anyway, the order of it implies that beam attack was first in the charged attacks [12:33am] <CDi-Fails> and the time it takes to get to the small spin shows that the beam attack would be easy to execute in a short time [12:34am] <CDi-Fails> and if it IS the first in the list of charged attacks, it'd be odd to get it after the other spins

[12:35am] <CDi-Fails> http://i.gyazo.com/a508afb70b1b11e844b5bfc396a12002.png [12:35am] <CDi-Fails> Hold up WHAT [12:35am] <CDi-Fails> Bottom left image [12:36am] <CDi-Fails> Either that poe is emitting light beams [12:36am] <CDi-Fails> or that sword has the beam blade thing around it after spinning [12:36am] <CloudMax-Mobile_> Get magic (sword beam) in a cave in the mountains. similar to zelda 1, I guess. [12:37am] <CDi-Fails> Don't you get it in Hyrule Castle outside Fairy Fountain [12:37am] <CDi-Fails> cuz that's a cave in a hill [12:38am] <CloudMax-Mobile_> dins fire :o [12:38am] <CDi-Fails> you get that second time though don't you [12:38am] <CDi-Fails> I guess not [12:38am] <CDi-Fails> Death Mountain Great Fairy then [12:38am] <CDi-Fails> seriously though [12:38am] <CDi-Fails> http://i.gyazo.com/a508afb70b1b11e844b5bfc396a12002.png [12:39am] <CDi-Fails> bottom left pic [12:39am] <CDi-Fails> gonna replicate that

[9:12pm] <CDi-Fails> I don't have 04002318 there [9:12pm] <Three_Pendants> It's technically at 3F3734 [9:12pm] <CDi-Fails> ah [9:13pm] <CDi-Fails> wait...how the hell do I change an offset [9:13pm] <Three_Pendants> In Nemu? [9:13pm] <CDi-Fails> damn it [9:13pm] <Three_Pendants> If you want a simple GS code it would be... [9:13pm] <Three_Pendants> 813F3736 0010

[12:58pm] <CloudMax> So you mean that the ABAB may have been for a 4th file? [12:58pm] <Airikita> Nothing reads from it [12:58pm] <Airikita> Yes [12:58pm] <Airikita> ABAB indicates unused data

559 animation filenames, 573 animations, apparently

Animations missing filenames: 24C0, 24C8, 24D0, 24D8, 25E8, 25F8, 2838, 2AE8, 2B48, 2B50, 2BD8, 2E90, 3460, 34E8

Lake Hylia: the entry is different, the game exists 2 pillars and floating

Spirit Temple: No entrance to Iron Knuckle room Freezes in cutscenes

Zora’s Fountain: Torches Sign Rocks No Ice Cavern

Dodongo’s Cavern: It seems that the doors had as where is the Deku scrub and gossip Stone.

[11:43am] <Three_Pendants> This one is a little trickier because Every projectile knocks her down, even the Shadow Arrows, even though they technically should be beyond the two-byte requirement. [11:43am] <Three_Pendants> Which tells me I'm likely not looking for a similar set up.

[7:32pm] <Porcino> I believe the sign was in place was where the magic bean spot. [8:12pm] <Porcino> There is a sign in early screenshots showing a sign on the market, it was probably the temple of time.

[8:14pm] <Porcino> I need a theory for the ocarina pedestal. [8:14pm] <JSA> what kinda theory... [8:15pm] <Porcino> I found it objects in various places. [8:15pm] <JSA> we found it's object in the forest temple entrance

[8:17pm] <Porcino> is, Sacred Forest Meadow, at the entrance to the Deku Tree in Zora's Fountain and Castle Ganon. [8:17pm] <JSA> the extra object to load the ocarina pedistal is there [8:17pm] <JSA> yeah what he said [8:17pm] <JSA> and the Spirit Temple too

The symbol on the Light Medallion (and to a lesser extent, the Shadow Medallion) is extremely similar to the pattern of rocks on the ground surrounding the Magical Warp Tile leading to the Dark World on the top of Death Mountain in A Link to the Past.

http://zeldawiki.org/File:DeathMountainWarpTile.png

The Fire Medallion and Water Medallion are displayed in the center of the symbols out of which Koume and Kotake rise just prior to engaging Link in battle. However, the fire symbol faces to the left rather than the right and the water symbol has eight points rather than six.

In Ocarina of Time you first fight Gohma in a forest, then explore the insides of a volcano, before eventually battling Barinade inside the depths of a whale. In The Wind Waker you wage against a magmatic creature named Gohma within a volcano, and next battle a floral-themed parasytic creature that suspends itself from the ceiling inside a woodsy grove. You're realizing the canned third dungeon would feature Link battle amphibious Dodongos inside Jabun.

[12:44am] <Gamma> It *is* used on globes, too, and there are differences between the cabin and globe [12:45am] <GlitterBerri> Those differences should be noted too [12:45am] <GlitterBerri> Not sure if I saw them [12:45am] <Gamma> oh [12:45am] <Gamma> oh [12:45am] <Gamma> also notice [12:46am] <Gamma> On the globe, it's easier to see, but both of the maps seem to have the underlying topology of Hyrule in them! [12:46am] <Gamma> Notice that in the globe image, there's a patch of higher land where Gale Isle should be [12:47am] <Gamma> In the concept art, wasn't is suggested that you could warp between Hyrule and the Great Sea? [12:49am] <GlitterBerri> with that fishing hook, yeah [12:49am] <Gamma> Less islands + Hyrule geography = ? [12:49am] <GlitterBerri> That's an interesting point! [12:50am] <GlitterBerri> http://i.imgur.com/jBCsBMN.png [12:50am] <GlitterBerri> Tetra's map has that darker area as well [12:50am] <GlitterBerri> Seems about the same [12:51am] <GlitterBerri> Less pronounced than on the globe [12:51am] <GlitterBerri> But the patterns seem to match up [12:51am] <Gamma> Yeah [12:52am] <Gamma> The grid and more pronounced geography in the globe could suggest that the globe is closer to the original map design than the cabin map [12:55am] <GlitterBerri>

nod nod*

[12:56am] <GlitterBerri> Interesting that the globe map has the sun design on the bottom left, like Tetra's map, but in a different place [12:57am] <GlitterBerri> While Tetra's has a half sun at the top right as well [12:57am] <GlitterBerri> What do those things mean?

Forsaken Fortress: majiyuutou/Demon Beast Tower :O

[1:19am] <Gamma> the island is Tingle's [1:19am] <Gamma> Not in the right place, though

[3:29am] <GlitterBerri> http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7191/6855248191_6b1ab146af_o.jpg [3:29am] <GlitterBerri> Does this look like a Goron to you? Or some new creature? [3:30am] <GlitterBerri> It's got smoke coming out of a blowhole in its head [3:31am] <Gamma> It's a Goron [3:31am] <Gamma> Also, unrelated Japanese question. Sorta unrelated, anyway [3:31am] <Gamma> If we had something in English like "Zelda Data," could that become "Data Zelda" in Japanese somehow? [3:32am] <GlitterBerri> The reason I ask is because they said in that interview that Gorons were an afterthought... but if this is a Goron, then how can that be true? [3:32am] <GlitterBerri> >Haruhana: We didn’t originally intend to include the Travelling Merchants in the game. Once development reached its peak, and plans materialized for the inclusion of the merchants, someone said “The Zora and Kokiri are in the game, so why not the Gorons?” And so, it was decided. There are a lot of Koroks, and they all take their names from trees, like Oakin and Rown. [3:32am] <GlitterBerri> Usually it would be "Zelda Data", so I'd say that would be unusual [3:33am] <Gamma> A friend and I are trying to divine the meaning of the names of this file format [3:33am] <Gamma> DZS, DZR and DZB [3:34am] <GlitterBerri> Ah [3:34am] <Gamma> S and R stand for Stage and Room, and we thing B might stand for "ぶつかる," since the DZB files are collision meshes [3:34am] <GlitterBerri> Well, I guess it could be, like, Data: Zelda? [3:34am] <Gamma> Possibly [3:35am] <Gamma> Then again, TWw apparently doesn't make much sense from a programmer standpoint, so... XD [3:35am] <Gamma> Anyway, back to work. [3:37am] <Gamma> So that's not a Goron/ [3:37am] <Gamma> ? [3:40am] <Gamma> http://zeldawiki.org/Gor_Amoto [3:40am] <Gamma> Yes, that drawing is a Goron [3:40am] <Gamma> They used that kind of design for a special Goron in TP

TP glitch fixes Zelda TP (Wii) - 3 Things Fixed on Version 2 for the Wii

Gale Isle: MIA

Though the home of the Earth Temple, Headstone Island, is prominent, the island of the Wind Temple is nowhere to be seen.

A Song of Ice & Fire

The sub-dungeons known as Ice Ring Isle and Fire Mountain are also missing from Tetra's chart entirely. TCRF speculation...

If that's true, however, then it seems that the geography of the Great Sea went through a number of changes during development. It's no wonder that Tetra and her pirates were unsuccessful with their quest for a legendary treasure when they had nothing to go on but an old map!

Mother & Child Isles

Meanwhile, the Mother & Child islands are featured prominently.

春花僕らもその、新しいところで欲張るんですけど。で、区切りのいいところで宮本に見せたときに、「これは64のときにできてるものやから、　わざわざ外さんでいいやん」って。僕ら新しいこととか、できるだけ盛り込みたいから、欲張るんですけども。

青沼そう、逆に、それが入っちゃうと、「前と同じじゃない」って言われそうな気がして、外したいと思ったりするけども、それは別にいいじゃない、っていうふうになる。

春花「64のときにできてるのに、何でなくなんの？」とか。難しいなー、って。

高野だから、スタッフ的にはもう、とにかく新しいもんにしなきゃいけないから、全てを新しく変えようとするわけですよ（笑）。それをいきなりガーッと変えてしまうと、「なんでー？」みたいな。ま、だから、そこでストッパーの役目が宮本なんです。

高野ストーリー関係ないよ、って、ゲームが面白かったらいいんだよー、とか言うわりには、開発者レベルの考え方でやってしまってると、「ここ、ちょっとおかしいんじゃないの？」って、もうグサリとやりますよね。あの、望遠鏡の話とかね。

ーーー

ほぼ日宮本さんはたしか、「ストーリーは最重要ではない」とおっしゃっていましたよね？それはやっぱり変わらないですか？

高野僕らの中でもやっぱり、それはすごくあります。ストーリーにがんじがらめになったからといって、ゲームの根本的な面白い部分がもっと面白くなるわけでは、ないです。そういうのは、うちの青沼も同じでね、ぼくらに指示をするとき、骨格みたいな、ポイントポイントみたいなのを、落語みたいに、言うんですよ。

Page 28, Nintendo Power 80

The video demo of The Legend of Zelda 64 surprised everyone at Shoshinkai. The surprise came not from the quality of the animation, which was excellent, but from the announcement that The Legend of Zelda 64 would be one of the first disk-based games for the Nintendo 64.

No release date was given for Zelda 64, but the game will be shown at next year’s Shoshinkai along with the 64DD disk drive accessory.

At this point, Zelda exists only as a few animation files, but all of that will change once development on Super Mario 64 is completed. At that time, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of previous Zelda games, and Takashi Tezuka (of Yoshi’s Island fame) will step into the director’s and producer’s chairs.

Nintendo’s creative giants wouldn’t comment specifically on how the 64DD would be used in Zelda, but they mentioned several disk uses in general terms, including the ability to save many games and customize many game elements.

For now, all we can do is admire the graphics of the demo. In the ten seconds or so of video footage, Link battles a knight in a shiny, metal suit of armour. Both Link and the knight slash at each other with their swords, and the camera moves around the fuelers. In the end, Link follows a feint with a roundhouse swing of his mighty, shining sword.

NP 89 - Oct. 1996

SM: I was also developing Zelda 64 while I was working on Super Mario 64, and I had lots of ideas for Zelda. Since Mario was going to be released earlier, I used some of those ideas in it. […]

Ed.: Is Zelda 64 going to be similar to Super Mario 64?

SM: They resemble one another in some parts. Of course, about half of Zelda will be completely different.

Ed.: Are the characters in Zelda 64 going to move around in 3-D fields like the ones in Mario do?

SM: Yes, in some places.

Ed.: So, will Zelda 64 be like an RPG of Mario with a sword?

SM: No. I’m sure everyone would complain if we did that. They’d think that Zelda 64 looked too much like Super Mario 64.

Ed.: Then what makes Zelda 64 different from Mario 64?

SM: I can’t say anything yet. Well, the camera system…

Ed.: We saw the video of Zelda 64. Have you made any chances since that video?

SM: Yes, scenes in the final version will be quite different from those in the video, but you will still see some scenes from the same angles that you saw in the video. We aren’t sure if it’s the best angle for actually playing. It’s possible to make demo scenes from that angle - they aren’t difficult to create. By the way, some people thought that the demo scenes at Shoshinkai were playing on development equipment, but they were actually playing on the N64.

Ed.: We were shocked when we saw that demonstration video.

SM: What parts of that video were most amazing to you? Were you surprised by the shining, metallic-looking soldiers?

Ed.: I couldn’t believe that those amazing characters were in the actual game. I thought images like those were possible only with development equipment.

SM: But you saw them actually move in the video. You might have noticed the soldiers stop for a moment just before making a move, such as just before swinging a sword. Their action didn’t look natural because of those brief breaks. We need to adjust this problem in the final version.

—

What about 64DD?

You will see it at Shoshinkai in November. I can’t say anything else right now.

Ed.: I heard that the 64DD uses a writable disk. If that’s true, how will you use it for the upcoming Zelda game?

SM: That’s top secret.

(Shoshinkai featured Wave Race)

NP 94 - March, 1997

Golden Knight named Iron Knuckle

The Zelda development team at EAD also sent wireframes of the Stalfos and Link in battle positions.

As for the story, Mr. Miyamoto’s team isn’t saying much at this time, but the action takes place in Hyrule and the Triforce and Ganon also will play roles.

NP 97 - June, 1997

We’ve also noticed more familiar foes from the original NES Zelda games, enemies such as the bomb-eating Dodongo, Wallmasters with grasping hands, Iron Knuckle the knight, and rock-splitting Octoroks.

MIyamoto has suggested that the game will first appear in a 128 Megabit Game Pak form instead of on the 64DD. Later, a 64DD Zelda game would be released that would expand your Game Pak adventure even further.

We expect Zelda to appear in Japan by the end of the year and in North America early in 1998.

NP 98 - July, 1997

Zelda, Yoshi, and F-Zero will appear in demo form only at E3.

Completion: 50%~70%

Size: 128 Megabits

Release: Early 1998

NP 100 - August, 1997

When completed next year, it should be a record-breaking 256 megabits.

So who is the little fairy that flies everywhere with Link? As it turns out, everyone in Link’s clan has a fairy helper. These fairies aren’t just the healers form previous Zelda games. They can help in many ways, including in battle.

Finally, Miyamoto spoke to us about the story and setting of the most anticipated of upcoming N64 games. The biggest news is that Ganon will return as the bad boy of Hyrule. As Zelda fans know, Ganon has a thing for the Triforce and Princess Zelda. In the new adventure, Zelda will once again fall into the villain’s clutches. Part of the game will explain why Ganon, once a lowly thief, became such a twisted despot.

As for the setting, Miyamoto told us that the world “is a size that would be difficult to cross in an entire game day. That’s why Link will be able to drive a vehicle.” He didn’t tell us exactly what sort of vehicle - A Linkoln, perhaps.

Miyamoto also described several areas, mentioning mountains, valleys, a deep “fairy” forest, and the mythical Zola Lake.

NP101 - August, 1997

Zelda 64 and Yoshi’s Story are both set for release by the end of the year in Japan.

In Zelda 64, Link is given a mission to find the Triforce, but Ganondorf, king of the thieves, is also hunting the powerful artifact. With the help of Zelda, three magic Ocarina Stones, and Navie the wood fairie, Link sets off on his greatest quest ever.

Release Forecast - Zelda 64: Spring ’98

NP103 - October, 1997

The outline of the story for Zelda 64 comes straight from EAD, the chief game development department at Nintendo Company Ltd. in Kyoto, Japan. Although EAD considers everything “tentative” until the final version of a game is completed, much of what you read here will be a part of Mr. Miyamoto’s greatest epic. Long ago, before Gannon stole the Triforce and kidnapped Zelda, Link set out to his coming-of-age ceremony in the Maze Woods. It was the custom of his tribe, the Kokiri Family, that a young man would receive a guardian spirit or fairy who would stay beside him and guide him throughout his life. But as Link walked through the woods, he discovered that a monster had captured one such fairy. Gallantly, Link came to the rescue and defeated the monster, but the fairy was mortally wounded. In her dying breath, she warned Link not to allow Gannondorf to possess the Triforce and to seek out a wise man and his spiritual stone. At the same time, Gannondorf, the king of thieves, was searching for the legendary Triforce so that he could steal its power. In time, Gannondorf stumbled into the Maze Woods and neared the secret place where the Triforce was kept. Link went to Hyrule Castle for help. Princess Zelda knew of the Triforce’s hiding place, but to reach it they would have to find three magical stones to unlock the secret. Thus begins the adventure.

We know that settings include at least one substantial town, a forest maze, a desert, a swamp, a canyon, a farm, building interiors, and dungeons.

Swords, bows and arrows, bombs, shields, and special items will be activated using various Controller buttons and using combinations of weapons will also be possible.

We also know that Navie, Link’s fairy helper, will warn you of impending attacks from enemies, and she will take an active role in defending and healing her young ward.

There’s also a suggestion that the horse may not always be your trusted steed. Perhaps you have to capture it and train it before you can ride it.

While you’re moving about, you’ll also feel the motion since Zelda 64 will make use of the rumble pack.

In addition to Link’s steed, you’ll also find warps that transport Link instantly across the world.

At a reported 256 megabits, Zelda 64 will be the largest game for the N64, doubling the current game on the market.

One of the central themes of the game has to do with time. In fact, you will move backward and forward in time at different stages of the game.

During earlier times, Link will appear as a boy of about ten years of age, while in the later stages he is a heroic youth in his teens. Kid Link, as the EAD team calls him, will have special abilities and will be able to use certain items that Teen Link won’t be able to use.

only the adult link can handle the heavy bow and the sword whereas young Link uses the sling shot, wooden stick and the dagger.
all the landmarks of Hyrule seem to have made the jump from 16 to 64-bit, including Turtle Rock, Hyrule Castle, and even Death Mountain.
Zelda 64 introduces the "Tower of Time" and the "Ocarina of Time."
Link receives the ocarina fairly early in the game, but needs to find four magic stones before he can use it.

NP104 - Nov. 1997

(Space World account)

The biggest surprise in Zelda 64 was the presence of a targeting system for battles. By pressing the Z button, a targeting box appears on the enemy, sort of like the lock-on target in StarFox 64.

When we weren’t fighting, we explored a village and a dungeon and learned to ride the horse in a practice field with jumps.

As a pedestrian in town, Link is greeted by Hyrulians everywhere he goes. The good citizens actually call out, “Konnichiwa!” or “hello” in Japanese. (We expect the English version to have a different greeting.)

The analog Control Stick is used for walking or running while the A Button and right, left, and bottom C buttons are for weapons and items. The Button operates your shield and the B button activates special actions such as climbing and jumping.

At the very beginning of the game, a dramatic sequence plays out in a pounding thunder storm. Link, outside the gate of Hyrule Castle, witnesses Zelda fleeing on horseback, followed a short while later by an evil figure that can only be Gannondorf, the king of thieves.

Nov. 24th, 1997:

http://ca.ign.com/articles/1997/11/25/everything-about-zelda-64

In Zelda 64, you can open drawers
If you carry your sword in your hand (the left one, of coursE), Link will swim with only one hand, or struggle a bit to climb up a ledge. (HF vid)
Unfortunately, the typical Zelda theme music wasn't in yet, but if it's as good as the ambient soundtrack, you're in for a treat.
Link encounters several strange creatures in the fields, among them stones that come to life
You could also try out three different boss battles. The first one pits you against two pretty tall and scary Stalfos skeltons in a round arena that both attack you at the same time. When you kill them, they crumble to a heap of bones.
Link's fairy hovers over his head and greets non-player characters with a friendly "konnichi-wa" (Good Day).
When locking on to an enemy with Z, Navie flies over to the target and points out its location while assuming a red colour.
Navie is so far the only "speaking" character seen in the game, and she often shouts advice as to what to do while battling.
When you press the A-Button, Link draws his sword and carries it in his left hand. Press the button again and he swings the blade horizontally. Pressing the button three times performs two swings and one downward slash.
Press B (when it is in the jump-mode) and A and Link lurches foward and attack with his sword.
But be careful, if he's in the middle of a jump and not ready to catch the boomerang, it may actually hurt him.
Note that the demo Nintendo showed off at the Space World was a collection of test levels, put together just for the show.

NP106 - Jan. 1998

The tentative sub-title for Zelda 64 is Ocarina of Time.

In the case of Zelda 64, the Ocarina is a magical instrument, as well. The price of getting the Ocarina is three spiritual stones that Link must find along the way.

In other Zelda 64 related news, it has been decided that the Game Pak itself will be gold just like the first NES Legend of Zelda.

Although an official date hasn’t been announced, Nintendo chairman Howard Lincoln says it will definitely be out some time in the second half of 1998.

Link seems to be able to do just about everything, from throwing a boomerang to reading road signs to Mt. Goron.

Unused exit Zora’s Fountain Apparently, a long time ago, a hacker made a code that enables exit data on certain polygons. The hacker says these polygons were created to be exits, because they have their own polygons defined. He also says there is an exit defined in the game for the exit in Zora's River where you fall down the waterfall. Also, an exit in the weird cave in Zora's Domain. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the code anymore... but maybe that YouTube user or someone else does .

Every day at 11 am/pm. Lay back for a with your hands folded over your stomach and follow the steps I told you about before. Three deep breaths through right nostril, exhale out mouth. Three deep breaths left nostril, exhale out right nostril. Then sit back. Relax. And try to focus on your breathing. Miracles will begin to happen. 2 am in the morning is also good. And yes, it was a while ago. A girl I used to have a crush on is all. I gave it to her for him as a b-day present. So it wasn't that nice after all. She turned out to be the worst person I've ever met.

Red Tektites first to be added

[10:12pm] <GlitterBerri> I think it's interesting that "fairy" (Navi?) is called ovl_En_Elf, and Dark Link is called ovl_En_Torch2 I also want to know if ovl_En_Holl is a misspelling of Hole or Hall [10:15pm] <Porcino> for all I know, ovl_En_GirlA uses object_human model, but it is corrupt.

ovl_En_Viewer Ganon Chasing Impa and Zelda <-- I'm also very curious about this. It appears very early... does that mean Ganondorf chasing IMpa and Zelda is the first cutscene?

many ganondorf and ganon actors, som enot used?

[10:39pm] <GlitterBerri> ovl_Bg_Spot05_Soko Sacred Forest Meadow Water & Gate was added late in development, that's why there is no gate when you go there in early cutscenes, I think [10:40pm] <GlitterBerri> Stalchildren were also added late in development, so that may be why Hyrule Field has no enemies in early cutscenes [10:40pm] <GlitterBerri> Bonooru was added very late in development, so if you go to early cutscenes in Lake Hylia, he is probably missing [10:42pm] <GlitterBerri> ovl_Bg_Spot17_Bakudankabe Death Mountain Crater Bombable Wall was added very late too, that's why it's missing in early Death Mountain cutscenes. You can go directly into the fairy fountain. [10:43pm] <GlitterBerri> Cows were added late, so that's probably why they were added to the farm tower that was also added late... [10:43pm] <GlitterBerri> Epona's Song was added fairly late (because before, you used the reed whistle to call Epona)

The old Hyrule Castle map is from Nov. 1997 http://tcrf.net/User:GlitterBerri/Prerelease:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Sword_on_A_(Part_1)#Hyrule_Castle Ganon's Castle map is also based on that map.. (but maybe an earlier version, because the entrance is a little different, the stairs to the castle are in a different place) So we know that Ganon's Castle and the Fairy Fountain existed since at least Nov. 1997 A horse at Ganon's Castle? Very odd

[2:50am] <ZethN64> Just a guess, I would imagine thats why the door closes. Similar to how ALTTP when the Npcs would run into the house, you couldn't open the door afterwards. [2:53am] <ZethN64> Also dk_pu_box.zar is not dummied out btw, dk_stonebridge is beta most likely predating OOT64 and dk_lightbox is another leftover from OOT64 that was unused but still in the cart. [2:54am] <nensondubois> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF8Zeu9QEAA [2:55am] <ZethN64> dk_pu_box [2:55am] <ZethN64> http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/pu_box01_zps85d37fd3.png [2:55am] <ZethN64> http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/pu_box02_zpsc264efb7.png [2:55am] <ZethN64> http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/pu_box04_zps95ea18bc.png [2:55am] <ZethN64> dk_lightbox [2:55am] <ZethN64> http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/dk_lightbox_zps0c7b536c.png [2:55am] <ZethN64> dk_stonebridge [2:55am] <ZethN64> http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/dk_Stonebridge_zps18e45dbd.png [2:57am] <ZethN64> Have these been mentioned before Glitterberri? [2:57am] <einstein95> That first one looks like that pushblock...

[4:52am] <ZethN64> even though they show up in the object list and are unused, there is a reason they are there xD I just remembered To load up an actor, it must load -all- objects it needs for one actor to show up ex: Loading the doggy laddy, you must have all the objects of the market npcs loaded in the list just to spawn her That's why Km1 and kw1 show up in all of the lists Its hard coded in the actors, they have a specified object list in each of the actors. If that object list isn't all loaded in the map, the actor refuses to spawn or crashes the game. I know from putting the market actors in Ura's castle town.

To load an actor, you must have all objects connected to that actor, or the actor won’t appear. For example, to load the dog woman, you must have all the Market NPCs, or she won’t appear. Each actor has an object list. If not all objects are present, the actor does not appear, or the game crashes.

To find an actor’s object list, search for the actor in a hex editor. Look up the actor’s number. The objects necessary to make the actor appear are close to the actor number.

[7:02am] <ZethN64> I usually find them by searching the actor in a hexeditor, looking up the actor's number, not too far from the actual actor number is the corresponding objects needed to run the actor [7:02am] <ZethN64> and I also compare with the object list in the zmaps

[4:56am] <ZethN64> Like the market npcs only use one actor file, just different variables

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr132/Riggy23/MUSICALNOTES_zps0985fcd2.jpg

[4:21am] <ZethN64> you are still in the beta object set [4:22am] <ZethN64> the checkspot near the sign of records isn't available at all til after you leave the house

[9:43pm] <MathOnNapkins> There's other indices you could look at, like game submodes, but I'd be getting a bit ahead of myself. One thing suggested by my perusings for a long time is that the Tower of Hera was added much later, because its 'palace index' is much higher than most dungeons, even though it's the 4th dungeon [9:43pm] <MathOnNapkins> So, stuff like that [9:43pm] <PPLToast> ToH is 3rd [9:44pm] <MathOnNapkins> I'm counting HC / sewers at the beginning as the first

open scene navi select a room go to objects me 1:59 PM OK Gil 2:00 PM will show a list of objects that are loaded

for the object appears, need to have an actor.

[9:39pm] <MathOnNapkins> You were asking about the ordering of game objects a while back. I think if you look at variables $0C4A, $0E20, and $7FF800 you can begin to get an appreciation for how they might have been added [9:39pm] <Airikita> JAL 80AF8C70... [9:39pm] <Airikita> Woah, ok... [9:40pm] <Airikita> It's storing a value to it's function index/status. [9:40pm] <MathOnNapkins> Those are all sprite classes, $0E20 being the main sprite class, $0C4A generally being sprites that are tools and other things related to Link, and $7FF800 being 'garnish' or sprites that are there for graphical flair but not much else

[7:31am] <Oprah> It is very simple. [7:31am] <Oprah> Use HxD for this. [7:31am] <GlitterBerri> HxD? [7:31am] <Oprah> Look in .zmap files. [7:31am] <Oprah> A hex editor. [7:32am] <Oprah> There are multiple headers per .zmap file. [7:32am] <Oprah> Usually, anyway. [7:32am] <Oprah> The 18 Command in the header points to the list of the other headers. [7:32am] <Oprah> In each header, the 0B Command says the number of objects and it points to them. [7:32am] <Oprah> Here is an example. [7:33am] <Oprah> 18 Command: 18 00 00 00 03 00 02 80 [7:33am] <Oprah> So you go to Search > Go To > 280. [7:33am] <Oprah> The data there points to other headers. [7:33am] <Oprah> It can look like this: 03 00 00 90 03 00 01 A0 [7:33am] <Oprah> And so on. [7:34am] <Oprah> Each one points to another header. [7:34am] <Oprah> So to go to the first one, Search > Go To > 90. [7:34am] <Oprah> For the second, Search > Go To > 1A0. [7:34am] <Oprah> Basically, everything beyond the 03. [7:34am] <Oprah> When you get to one of those offsets, you are at a map header. [7:34am] <Oprah> The 14 Command is the end of the header. [7:34am] <Oprah> 14 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [7:35am] <Oprah> 0B Commands point to groups. [7:35am] <Oprah> 0B XX 00 00 03 ZZ ZZ ZZ [7:35am] <Oprah> XX is the number of groups/objects. [7:35am] <GlitterBerri> There's some way to do this in the editor programs, though, rather than manually deciphering all the hex. Holy shit, you know a lot, though. [7:35am] <Oprah> ZZZZZZ is their offset.

[7:35am] <Oprah> ZZZZZZ is their offset. [7:35am] <Oprah> Thanks. B-) [7:35am] <Oprah> Each group/object is two bytes.

[7:36am] <Oprah> You can always use Hylian Toolbox. [7:36am] <Oprah> You can switch to various headers. [7:36am] <Oprah> Click "Edit Groups". [7:36am] <Oprah> It opens a list of the groups/objects in Notepad.

[7:37am] <Oprah> Anyway, the objects/groups listed in Notepad from Hylian Toolbox correspond to the second value of each actor on that page.

[7:37am] <Oprah> 0072 0077 Brown bird (Alpha!) [7:37am] <Oprah> 0077, for example. [7:37am] <Oprah> Would be listed as a group/object.

[7:38am] <Oprah> What makes it unused, however, is that no actor uses 0072.

Yeah, you need their object, their animation object file, and an actor to load any beta npc model

Again, it will require hacking an actor to get the beta model to load up or writing a custom actor as most of the beta models do not have their own actor

You could load a treasure chest up easily, only problem is if the actor/variable information isn't in the scene, we have no clue what it contained

Now I promised that I would talk about fishing. Like I said before, I loved fishing as a kid and it remains my favorite hobby today. It’s no coincidence that fishing has become a big part of Zelda games. Recall the fishing zone in Ocarina? That was a programming project that I worked on secretly behind the scenes and surprised the development team with. Fortunately, they really liked it, so the fishing zone made it into the game! - Programmer Kazuaki Morita

My first character design assignment for Nintendo was the wise, old owl in Ocarina of Time, Kaepora Gaebora. Mr. Miyamoto left me a yellow sticky note with a few pointers for the owl’s design and turned me loose to explore his look on my own. So casual! - Character Designer Satomi Asakawa

http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=interviews&id=2005-NP-asakawa&m=html The Lead Story on Bit Parts] - Oct. 1st, 2005

I remember when I was illustrating the grown-up Link for Ocarina of Time, I was very carefully about his look: basically, he’s a handsome guy. Broad-chested – that’s important. If his body were too slender with his handsome facial features, he’d end up looking more effete and aristocratic. I think that Link looks authentic – the Link we’ve all come to know in the Legend of Zelda world – when he has a fair amount of muscle and a physically conditioned body, since he needs to look impressive when he’s taking action, like when he’s riding a horse.

When I first heard about the Ocarina of Time project, and the need to create a new Link, I knew the job was for me. I put my name out there for the project by creating some sample illustrations of my ideas. Fortunately, Yoshiaki Koizumi, one of the game’s art directors, like the drawings, so I was put in charge of the illustrations. I loved the project and drew constantly; it was almost like I was giving vent to all of my passions through those drawings. And I’ll tell you one thing: drawing bad guys is worthwhile work. It felt great to draw characters like Ganondorf, exaggerating his fearsome, powerful presence. But my favorite Ocarina of Time illustration was of Impa, Zelda’s Royal Protector: It was extremely rare that Nintendo had such a muscular woman in one of it’s games. She was a natural fit for my preferred art style. - Illustrator Yusuke Nakano

The Zelda presale was actually kind of a unique case in the sense that we had gone through the trouble of developing Master Quest/Ura Zelda in Japan and we ultimately never released it primarily because the contents of the game had not changed enough from Ocarina of Time to provide enough value in the product. But the people who worked on it really wanted to get the game out there and we did too, and we actually looked at many possible ways to do that including tying up with magazines trying to sell it with magazines. But ultimately we never really found a way of providing that game to the consumer.

This time around, with the release of Wind Waker -- the fact that we'd gone from a cartridge-based media on the N64 to a disc-based media -- caused a [production cost] drop so significantly that we found we could take this N64 game, put it on a GameCube disc, run it in high-resolution, and follow it up with the Master Quest at a relatively low cost. - Miyamoto

http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=interviews&id=2003-03-02-dice-miya-aonu&m=html DICE Summit, Miyamoto and Aonuma (Gamers.com)] - Mar. 2nd, 2003

Q: Regarding Ura Zelda, is there any different between the 64DD version that was in development and the GameCube version? Did it use any functionality with the 64DD? And, is it coming to the U.S.? Miyamoto-san: Although we did develop Ura for the 64DD, it didn't use many of the special features. So it was very easy to port over to the GameCube without cutting any features. Why we did it, well that was because the 64DD was only released in Japan and it was only sold to subscribers of the RandNet system. For a long time we wanted to make it available for play and find a way to do that. It was expensive to make cartridges, so we had through about different ways. One thing we thought about was tie-ups with magazines. Once GameCube moved to disc media, though, it became much more feasible to make it available. In terms of how we've done it, we didn't want to make it limited edition. So we've tried to make it available to as many people as possible.

Also, I'm not sure if you're aware but Ura Zelda isn't very different from the Ocarina of Time; it's more of a second quest. People who played through Ocarina of Time would be able to play through Ura Zelda and get a few laughs at some things, find some things more difficult, and take a few varied paths. However, even if you do play all the way through the end it will not unlock anything special. We hope to be making an announcement sometime soon, so please wait until then.

Q: Was it very difficult to do those ports from the N64, and might you be considering doing it again with other N64 titles?

Miyamoto-san: When we switched from the cartridge to disc media, we did it in a way that would make it very similar. In terms of the actual port, it was quite simple. Technically, it's easy to port N64 games, but what types of games would people really want to play and would there be a value there?

http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=interviews&id=2002-12-04-ign-miya-aonu-twwsummit-2&m=html Wind Waker Summit (GamePro Uncut Version)] - Dec. 4th, 2002

Q: After hearing rumors of Ura Zelda for Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, Zelda Gaiden for the Nintendo 64 cartridge format was a pleasant surprise. Can you tell me how these two games came to be developed?

A: We are working on two follow-ups to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. "Ura Zelda" uses the same system as Ocarina of Time but uses the 64DD to add game data. The story in "Ura Zelda" will be similar to Ocarina of Time but with new maps and scenarios. Zelda Gaiden, on the other hand, is a completely different game, although it too uses essentially the same game system as Ocarina of Time. Everyone has enjoyed the Zelda series but there's typically at least a 3 year wait between sequels! People who are in Junior High School when they play one Zelda game would be in High School by time the next game comes out, and those in High School will graduate before the next game came out! So, we wanted to make a new game in the series sooner. "Ura Zelda" will use the existing Ocarina of Time cartridge but with different dungeons, and new locations for the treasures. Since the 64DD media is cheaper than a new cartridge, this is an inexpensive way to make a sequel. We may also consider using network technology for "Ura Zelda." Right now, most of the staff is concentrating on Zelda Gaiden. - Miyamoto

http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=interviews&id=1999-nintendocom-sw-miya&m=html Spaceworld '99 Talkin' with Miyamoto] - ?, 1999

Ocarina of Time was originally designed with the N64 Disk Drive in mind, and in the future, we'd like to make use of some of those unrealized ideas intended for the N64 DD.

NP: Who's your favorite new character in the game?

Miyamoto: (Looking to the ceiling as he grapples for an answer) Sheik. . .(laughing) the cows. . .I like the Deku Scrubs. Sometimes they attack you. Sometimes they talk to you. Sometimes they sell things to you. And if you're wearing one of the different masks you can get in the game, the Deku Scrubs will react to your appearance depending on the disguise you're wearing. I like them because you can't tell if they're an enemy or an ally. I wanted to put more characters like them in the game, but the Deku Scrubs ended up being the only ones we included.

NP: Will you be making other games using the Zelda engine?

Miyamoto: We were using the Super Mario 64 engine for Zelda, but we had to make so many modifications to it that it's a different engine now. What we have now is a very good engine, and I think we can use it for future games if we can come up with a very good concept. It took three or so years to make Zelda, and about half the time was spent on making the engine. We definitely want to make use of this engine again.

(Source: source needed)

Miyamoto: Of course, but from the depths of our imagination (grin)! The designers kept this in mind, and tried to create scenery that looked like it really existed. There is no particular model used. However, we did use data material from all around the world, such as a photo collection of German castles. There may be parts that reflect the real world.

Kushida: Now then, what changes this from previous Zelda games is the change to 3D from the traditional top view.

Miyamoto: And let me tell you that it was hard work. Now, if you think about how easy it is to play the game, then the traditional top view is still number one. But our priority was to give the gamer the feeling that he was actually there in the game. Like just being able to see the horizon. For example: going into a cave. From a top view you can already see well into the cave. You just wont get the same presence. Players want the experience of gradually exploring their way inside, and using their own feet to traverse new ground. Enemy positions are obvious from a single glance in top view, while in reality you couldn’t see enemies that are above or behind you. We wanted to emphasize this.

Kushida: Even with the change in perspective, the game seems to flow into the World of Zelda without a hitch? Is this the power of Miyamoto?

Miyamoto: But there are those who do say “it isn’t very Zelda-like”. And in that sense, we adopted the method where in mini-games, or in dwellings or streets the camera, perspective would change. What do you think?

The team was initially calling her Ao, but Koizumi insisted they go with Epona. "Epona is the goddess of horses and fertility in Celtic mythology, so I used that," Koizumi-san said. "When you name something, it increases your affection for it, so I worked hard to make her a good horse."
Link is known for his sharp, elflike features, but Koizumi-san revealed that his design went through many changes. At first the Hylian hero actually sported a button nose and more rounded features.

1. Download map at http://spinout182.com/mqd/f.html.

2. Look for 0Bxx 0000 0300 yyyy. • 0B = object pointer • xx = number of objects that display in SceneNavi (06) • yyyy = where to find objects (0040)

3. Go to line yyyy. (0040) 0037 = 005A = 0075 = 00BD = 0048 = 00B0 = 0052 = object_oE9 000F = object_fire

How to tell when the object list ends:

1) There is a number that is too high to be an object. 2) 0000 3) The actor list will begin.

<Jimmy130> because if we use a gameshark for ZElda OOT, we must activate "code generator" <Jimmy130> so code generator use Expansion pak <Jimmy130> when zelda oot read ram available, it sees 4MB <einstein95> Then what happens? <Jimmy130> 4MB with 64DD = error 44

N64.com has recorded three Zelda movies off the Nintendo Space World demo tape. The quicktimes show Link riding a horse and doing battle with two of the bosses in the game. The movies also show off Link's locking system and 3D (ala Quake) view, in which he draws his bow and shoots an enemy.^[1]

It's confirmed, Zelda 64 will finally be shown to spectators in playable form beginning tomorrow at Nintendo's Space World. The game, which has been hyped endlessly all year, will no doubt be the highlight of the show. N64.com's Space World correspondents have reported that at least 20 demos of the game are currently running and possibly more still being setup.^[2]

Nintendo has released a small, but revealing quicktime of Link mounting the now infamous horse and riding along the hillsides. It also shows some of the new fighting scenes in the game.^[3]

Note: The video, which was obtained from Nintendo of Japan, has an unsteady framerate which should not be confused with how the actual game runs. ^[3]

Camera The camera follows Link, in a style similar to Tomb Raider. When you see an enemy or an object that interests you (or you1re being attacked by an enemy), you press and hold the Z-Button. This will bring up a cursor that locks on to your target. Now, as long as you hold down the Z-Button, the camera will stay on your target, retaining its over the shoulder position. This allows you to circle your enemies and slash at them while side-stepping, back-flipping and shielding yourself from the onslaught (R-Button). While you are locking on to a target, the screen will become slightly letterboxed to let you know that the target mode is active. To help you keep track of your attackers, Navie, your fairy will hover over the target1s head. Release the Z-Button at any time to break the target lock. The upper C-Button will let you either switch to an alternate camera angle (inside houses or cities), or zooms in to let you look around.^[4]

Attack System The attack system is equally impressive. Pressing A will make Link draw his sword. Press it again to slash at your enemy once. Press it three times to swing the blade from the bottom to the top. Press jump and A to slash downward. Turn the 3D Stick in a circle to swing your sword over your head once. Press and hold A to charge your sword and make it glow, then unleash a nice helicopter slash that1s sure to turn any stinking skeleton into a heap of bones. Similar controls are available for the other items, which can be distributed over any of the lower three C-Buttons. Press the corresponding key once to draw the weapon or item, then press it again to use it.^[4]

Action Button But the crowning feature is the context sensitive B-Button. If you stand close to a ladder, the B-Button display at the top of the screen will change to climb or descend, if you run around freely, it will change to jump, stand next to a sign and it turns into read, and so on. Simply pressing the button will activate the function. Some of the available functions include open, pull, push, check, talk and crawl. There is also a nice auto-jump feature that prevents you from falling from platforms when attempting to jump across a crevice.^[4]

---

Holding the R button causes Link to raise his shield.^[5]

The shield is used as a normal shield during battle.^[5]
There is also a secret, special use.^[5]

The Z button causes Link to lock onto something.^[5]
If you press it while moving, the scenery will rotate.^[5]
When you fight with a sword, pressing the Z button will allow you to hit an enemy.^[5]
You can view anything.^[5]

The B button is the action button.^[5]
It contains the name of something.^[5]
The button lets you use that item.^[5]
If it says dash, press it to dash.^[5]

The A button unsheathes your sword.^[5]
It plays a low note on the Ocarina.^[5]

You can charge your power by holding down the A button.^[5]
If you let the A button go, the power will be cut off.^[5]

There is a two-handed sword.^[5]
The way Link slashes is different than when he holds a single sword.^[5]
You can’t use the shield with the two-handed sword.^[5]

You can use magic or items to attack.^[5]
There are projectile weapons like arrows and pachinko balls.^[5]
There is a hammer and a stick.^[5]
There is a hook shot.^[5]

The game has an auto-jump function.^[5]
Even if the player doesn’t press the jump button, they can still jump.^[5]
The jump depends on the character’s speed and topographical features.^[5]
If you want to jump, press the action button.^[5]

When your hit points go down, your speed slows.^[5]
It is easier to be defeated.^[5]

If Link approaches the horse, the button will say “ride”.^[5]
Press B and you will mount the horse.^[5]
If you bring out the whip, the horse will start to run.^[5]
The horse is controlled by whips and carrots.^[5]
Every time you use the whip, you have to give the horse a carrot.^[5]
Otherwise, the developers would feel sorry for the horse.^[5]

Zelda is slightly Rumble Pak compatible.^[5]

Navi guides Link and shows him the correct paths.^[5]
Press the B button to speak with Navi.^[5]
She can carry things for Link.^[5]
Navi changes colours depending on the object.^[5]
She will turn red if there is something dangerous.^[5]

The red reticule is displayed when you can use the Z button.^[5]

The stick can be broken.^[5]

The strength of the bow does not change.^[5]

The hammer in Zelda 64 can do various things.^[5]
It is a little different from ALttP.^[5]
It is heavier, so it makes a good weapon.^[5]

There are three soul stones.^[5]
The soul stones are inserted into the empty holes of the Ocarina.^[5]

Playing the Ocarina is important for going to the “Tower of Time”.^[5]
To enter, the Ocarina must have the three soul stones inserted.^[5]
The ocarina can play a melody.^[5]

The shield is made of wood.^[5]
In the centre is Link’s family crest.^[5]

The rooster can’t be used like an item.^[5]
It has secret uses.^[5]
The rooster follows along like a stalker.^[5]
It would be bad if you bullied it.^[5]

The items Link can equip depend on his age.^[5]
This was a purposeful decision by the developers.^[5]
Child Link uses pachinko balls and a slingshot, and a boomerang.^[5]
Adult Link uses a bow.^[5]

The swirly item in the corner is a wind magic medallion.^[5]
There are six types of magic, including fire, wind, darkness, and light.^[5]
Miyamoto is thinking about mixing the different types of magic.^[5]
You can use magic in conjunction with the bow.^[5]
You can use magic missiles, so it is important that you can use magic on arrows.^[5]
The C buttons are used for magic.^[5]
The six types of magic are divided by colour.^[5]
The wind magic is green.^[5]

There are about 16 items you can use.^[5]
There are also medicinal items.^[5]
Occasionally, medicinal herb-like things appear.^[5]
Medicines in bottles are the only replenishing items.^[5]
There are empty bottles.^[5]
Sometimes they contain something.^[5]
There are some bottles whose contents are not medicine.^[5]

Child Link is around 6~8.^[5]
He is a second grader.^[5]

Adult Link is younger than 20.^[5]
Maybe 15.^[5]

When he is killed, he will say "Ahhh!" or "Ooooh!"^[5]
When he rides a horse, he'll shout "Yaaa!"^[5]

Link’s face can move a little bit.^[5]
It’s difficult to see his expression unless he looks up.^[5]
You can see his expressions change in the cutscenes.^[5]

Link is a child of a race of elves called Kokiri.^[5]
There are no parents in this race.^[5]
There are only many children of the same age.^[5]
They grow until they reach a certain age, then they disappear.^[5]
The next generation is born equally abruptly.^[5]
Link will disappear someday.^[5]

Link will grow stronger with strength items.^[5]
Miyamoto didn’t want to remove Link’s abilities.^[5]
There are no techniques you must know to become an adult.^[5]
There will be changes depending on items.^[5]

Size is a big difference between Child and Adult Link.^[5]
Link’s height affects what he can climb.^[5]
Sword fighting with Adult Link is more fun because he’s had more practice.^[5]
Magic is the main difference.^[5]
Magic can only be used with Adult Link.^[5]

Link is not romantic in this game.^[5]
The connection between Link and Zelda relates to the Triforce.^[5]
Link’s lineage is also connected.^[5]

The Triforce plays the role of the ultimate item in the game.^[5]

There is no special ceremony to officially become part of the Kokiri.^[5]
Only the “guardian elf bequeathal”.^[5]

Gohma’s design had to be changed from ALttP because of the 3D environment.^[5]
Its design combines a crab and a bear.^[5]
Miyamoto: Ummm, he's changed a bit. Since he wouldn't look the same if we put him in 3D, the design had to change. He's certainly unpleasant, isn't he? We combined a crab with a bear to make him. It delivers alien-like eggs. It's gross.^[5]

The strength of the enemy characters depends on the extent of the weaponry.^[5]

King Dodongo is around 65 feet long.^[5]
He can see, even though it looks like he has no eyes.^[5]

There was a limit to how many boss characters the developers could make.^[5]
Miyamoto wanted to make over 10, maybe 15 or 16.^[5]

Dekubaba’s name is revealed.^[5]
Miyamoto crossed a dog with the snapping clam from Mario to make it.^[5]
If you attack Dekubaba's head while it is writhing on the ground, it can be severed at the joint.^[5]
Miyamoto compares this to harvesting rice.^[5]

The Lens of Truth lets you see things that are normally unseen.^[5]
In response to a question about invisible enemies.^[5]

There are enemies that can’t be cut with a sword.^[5]
“I think it would be fun if small enemies would come out of the wound of a larger enemy.”^[5]
“I'm thinking about small enemies.”^[5]

“The human form that Ganon is in before he transforms into a monster gradually changes.”^[5]

There won’t be blood in the game.^[5]
There might be something else, like green body fluids.^[5]

There might be a few enemies that ride on horses.^[5]

The idea for Dark Link was last minute when I made it.^[5]
It won’t be in this scenario.^[5]

There are inns and tool stores.^[5]
There is only one town.^[5]

Link is not human.^[5]
He is an elf.^[5]

Link’s outfit is a Kokiri outfit.^[5]
The Kokiri all wear similar costumes.^[5]

The title has been decided.^[5]
It is “The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time”.^[5]

The 64DD version hasn’t been scheduled yet.^[5]
Miyamoto wants to make a 64DD version in addition to the cartridge.^[5]
“We could make the 64DD version from what we have now.”^[5]
“It's undecided, but if we can do it right, I think I'd like use the Zelda cartridge with the 64DD offering backup data.”^[5]
“I don't want to have a game solely for the 64DD that you can't enjoy on a cartridge.”^[5]
“We're investigating it right now.”^[5]

There is just the horse as a means of movement for now.^[5]
There will be other ways of moving like warping or through magic.^[5]

Link’s ears are long because he is an elf.^[5]
This was decided from the beginning.^[5]

Link’s girlfriend is not Princess Zelda.^[5]
In this game, Navi is jealous of Zelda.^[5]
Navi feels something for Link in the story.^[5]

90% of the game system is complete.^[5]
That is the only thing almost done.^[5]
After that, you've got to create the data and put on the finishing touches.^[5]
Altogether, I'd say it's 70-80% complete.^[5]

I’d love to have the development finished within the year, and to start debugging the game by New Year's.^[5]
Debugging is quite laborious, so there's no telling how long that will take. Maybe 1 or 2 months.^[5]
It will definitely not be done by December.^[5]

There was an unused setup for Hyrule Castle, Death Mountain, 3 for the Cutscene Map, and one for the Great Fairy Fountain. Everything else was a false positive.

The ones that are unused are Empty Bottle, Big Quiver, Silver Scale, Golden, Possible Small Key.

[12:14am] <Playtendo> yeah [12:15am] <Playtendo> spin attack three times [12:15am] <Playtendo> the third one will play a longer animation [12:15am] <Three_Pendants> You mean if you were to do three Spin Attacks in a row? [12:15am] <Playtendo> yes [12:15am] <GlitterBerri> At what point in OoT would something not be dead after 2 spin attacks? [12:15am] <Three_Pendants> Really? Does it actually happen? [12:15am] <GlitterBerri> I wonder if Link gets dizzy [12:15am] <Playtendo> yeah it's the animation that people labelled as the "ssb spin attack" animation [12:16am] <GlitterBerri> Was it disabled, or does it erroneously not display? [12:16am] <Playtendo> the animation is longer than the time is to continue your "combo" so you can't actually do it unless you modify the asm

0x3F4530 - 0C18180C - Unused Spell 1's MP Cost is 30 (0C), Unused Spell 2's MP Cost is 31 (18), Unused Spell's MP Cost is 33 (18) Farore's Wind MP Cost is 33 (0C) [5:59pm] <Three_Pendants> 0x3F4534 - 180C0000 - Nayru's Love MP Cost is 34 (18) / Din's Fire MP Cost is 35 (0C) [5:59pm] <Three_Pendants> So there were supposed to be Three Spells that cost 12 and 24 MP respectively.

[6:01pm] <Three_Pendants> The first unused spell was 12, second was 24, third was 24, Farore's Wind is 12, Nayru's Love is 24, and Din's Fire is 12.

[6:03pm] <Three_Pendants> Six MP Costs, Eight Spell Slots, and Two unused magics according to the Damage Table, and Three Animation Sets still in the game.

[6:05pm] <Three_Pendants> If we assume that the other two damage tables refer to spells. That likely means the other 0C was the Ice Spell, the 18 was the Light Magic, and another utility spell was 18 as well.

[6:06pm] <Three_Pendants> It does likely mean that Nayru's Love was more "shadow" based at one time considering it's File name is Literally Magic_Dark.

[6:07pm] <Three_Pendants> I feel 8 might have been their "max", rather than what they actually used. [6:07pm] <PPLToast> Kinda like the Hearts? [6:08pm] <PPLToast> The counter is insanely huge [6:08pm] <Three_Pendants> Yes, but it goes to the left showing that they didn't include actual coding for more.

[6:10pm] <Three_Pendants> Light Magic - Light Damage Table - Would have cost 24 MP., Wind Magic - Farore's Wind - 12 MP, Fire Magic - Din's Fire - 12 MP, Ice Magic - Ice Damage Table - Would have cost 12 MP, Spirit Magic - ??? (Another utility quite likely) would have cost 24 MP. Shadow Magic - Nayru's Love - 24 MP. [6:11pm] <Three_Pendants> So with all of the data in the game it is pretty clear that they had the idea of the Six Medallion Magics all but implemented. [6:11pm] <Three_Pendants> Only one I can't place is Spirit Magic... [6:12pm] <Three_Pendants> It would have cost 24 like Nayru's Love... but what could it have done?

[6:14pm] <PPLToast> Alttp had three medallions [6:14pm] <PPLToast> Quake? [6:14pm] <PPLToast> Kappa [6:14pm] <Three_Pendants> Stun all enemies? Hmm... [6:15pm] <Three_Pendants> If we assume Ice Magic was like Ether, that's not a bad guess! [6:15pm] <Three_Pendants> And stunning all foes in a room does sound useful at times.

[6:18pm] <Three_Pendants> Speaking of the Deku Nut... [6:18pm] <Three_Pendants> It's file is called M_Fire1. [6:18pm] <Robotortoise> but no one uses the fucking deku nut [6:18pm] <Three_Pendants> It is located Right Above the Spin Attack. [6:18pm] <PPLToast>

o

[6:18pm] <Three_Pendants> Which is called M_Thunder

[6:26pm] <Playtendo> the deku nut has a visible actor if you can get the bow to fire them [6:26pm] <Three_Pendants> Completely from Link, the actor doesn't spawn it. [6:26pm] <Three_Pendants> Are you referring to the black orb? [6:26pm] <Playtendo> it's the same object as what the dekus shoot out of their mouths

[6:03pm] <Three_Pendants> They really didn't know what they were doing with magic until the final hour it seems. [6:04pm] <Three_Pendants> Then again...

[7:07pm] <Porcino> the textures object_zl1 and object_zl4 has some changes [7:07pm] <Porcino> Also several different animations. [7:07pm] <Three_Pendants> Ah? [7:07pm] <Three_Pendants> You're sure Zl1 isn't the Temple of Time Zelda, right? [7:08pm] <Porcino> ZL1 is the cutscene of Impa in Countyards. [7:08pm] <Three_Pendants> Zl4* rather [7:08pm] <Three_Pendants> Wait no... bah, now I'm mixed up. [7:09pm] <Porcino> zl1 is an earlier model. [7:10pm] <Three_Pendants> Yes, that's it... [7:19pm] <Porcino> http://s11.postimg.org/3l9fwmxvz/zeldag.png [7:20pm] <Porcino> zl1 and zl4 [7:20pm] <Porcino> is not much difference, just a little darkened skin and polished the symbol of the Triforce. [7:22pm] sairugoth joined the chat room. [7:23pm] sairugoth left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) [7:24pm] <Porcino> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEC_8bs_HE4 http://s11.postimg.org/3l9fwmxvz/zeldag.png

Apparently Volvagia is weak to Ice Arrows, when in his ground form they do 4 damage to him after he's stunned when all other non-swung weapons deal 2, not that great, normal Jump Swing. However in the air Ice Arrows also deal 4 damage to him compared to the 2 that everything else does.

[1:04pm] <Three_Pendants> He ignores Din's Fire completely. I can't get any damage identifier to break on it, at all. But Fire Arrows act just like any other non-swung weapon.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/OoT/modding/7_medallion_file_select.png The medallion grahics are here: 0x7D5D60 to 0x7E205F So black with the Light Medallion texture by default? Yeah The medallion object is created and everything, but they added in a conditional check to only display the first 9 (spiritual stones included) well.. If current loop is less than 9, starting from 0. The texture fallback is graphic plug in related. It didn't show up for three without setting it's texture to a proper one

[11:24am] <andlabs> GlitterBerri: 0..8 instead of 1..9 [11:24am] <andlabs> there are technical reasons for doing things this way Most languages use 0 indexing basically when creating the stones/medallion objects for the file select, it loops 10 times. But the loop that decides if they should be shown/hidden only loop 9 times. it skip the last unused medallion. [11:25am] <CloudMax> why create it to begin with?

[1:37pm] <Three_Pendants> It was thought originally that it may have been a placeholder of a "shadow" of medallions before you get them... [1:37pm] <Three_Pendants> But this medallion is received when you pick up the Forest Medallion at a default value.

[11:26am] <CloudMax> 0x803FB4A8 ;Number of stones/medallions that are stones [11:26am] <CloudMax> 0x803FB688 ;Number of stones/medallions that should be displayed

[11:26am] <CloudMax> 0x803FAA04 ;Number of objects that are stones/medallions may also prove useful

[12:27pm] <Three_Pendants> So I've been doing some research with CloudMax on this seventh medallion and it does seem legitimate. There is an empty space for a seventh medallion symbol. right after the Light Medallion. [12:29pm] <Three_Pendants> However it has a default requirement which is the Forest Medallion so whenever you acquire the Forest Medallion you also acquire this medallion though that might be chalked up to a default value of something that was never really changed. [11:03am] <CloudMax> Indeed. there is a 7th unused medallion [11:03am] <GlitterBerri> waaaaaaaat [11:03am] <CloudMax> the tint color is not set, so it's black Okey, so I looked back at the medallion. It has an entry in the medallion tint color table. However, it does not have an entry in the texture table. so it tries to read texture "00FF00FF" (start of the tint color table). and for some reason it fallback on the light medallion texture.

OoT SS inset is blue green red? unlike older games?

[5:21pm] <lue> the variable # you get from adding up all the "field values", so for a Boss Key Chest with a megaton hammer, the variable would be 2000 + 1A0 + (a chest group number, any from 00..1F) [5:22pm] <GlitterBerri> Now you’ve lost me :/ [5:23pm] <lue> For actor 000A, the treasure chest? [5:25pm] <GlitterBerri> How do you add up field values? [5:25pm] <lue> If you wanted a boss key chest with the hammer, then XXXX = 000A, YYYY = 000E, and ZZZZ = 21A0 = 2000 (boss key chest) + 1A0 (megaton hammer) + 0 (group number; doesn't matter that much)

[1:47pm] <CDi-Fails> Open your hex editor, grab your scene file (http://www.spinout182.com/mqd/s.html spot 15) [1:47pm] <CDi-Fails> Open up your ZELOOTMA rom, your scene file, and then your list of headers [1:47pm] <CDi-Fails> lemme give you link to headers [1:48pm] <CDi-Fails> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/content_link/kifIn3mIW37DbFgDdc7uI11lAoTqH1fV5ObgUpwQEwVyajZWh4BkJdjwvs9eEw31?dl=1 [1:48pm] andlabs left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 121 seconds) [1:49pm] <Chpexo> Not Found [1:49pm] <Chpexo> The resource could not be found. [1:49pm] <CDi-Fails> https://www.dropbox.com/s/cvx22cl9f7kqxzp/debug.zip

[1:50pm] <CDi-Fails> Anyway, once you've opened the ZELOOTMA ROM and scene file in the hex editor, open the text file containing the scene 15 headers [1:50pm] <CDi-Fails> Select the second header's offset: 3D80 [1:50pm] <CDi-Fails> The ones on the left are decimal, right is hex [1:50pm] <CDi-Fails> Once you got all that set let me know [1:54pm] <Chpexo> done [1:54pm] <CDi-Fails> Alright [1:54pm] <CDi-Fails> Now, copy that 3D80 and head over to your hex editor [1:55pm] <CDi-Fails> Select your scene file and hit CTRL + G (goto offset) and paste 3D80 [1:55pm] <CDi-Fails> You should end up with 14 as the first byte you see

[1:57pm] <Chpexo> I have the files open in the hex editor but what do I copy? [1:57pm] <CDi-Fails> The debug.zip you downloaded should have text files in it [1:57pm] <CDi-Fails> Find the spot_15 text file [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> Don't open that in the hex editor [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> Just open it in notepad [1:58pm] <Chpexo> oh [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> there will be two entries, go to the second [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> and then choose the value on the right: 3D80 [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> Then follow the steps I said above [1:58pm] <CDi-Fails> tell me when [1:59pm] <Chpexo> I'm at the offest now [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> Alright, do you see 14 as the first byte [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> wait [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> am I using the terms right [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> ...like, 02 = one byte? [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> in hex [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> no, it can't be right [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> eight bit...something [1:59pm] <Chpexo> 0C 00 23 F0 02 [1:59pm] <CDi-Fails> sixteen bits = byte? [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> Uh [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> Search the offset in the scene file [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> not the rom [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> spot15_scene.zscene [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> search there [2:00pm] <CDi-Fails> "14 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 02 04 3E 0E D8"

[2:03pm] <CDi-Fails> Now, go to the line right above that 14 00 00 stuff [2:03pm] gilgamesh left the chat room. [2:03pm] <CDi-Fails> anytime you see that near the offset, that's the end of the scene header [2:03pm] <CDi-Fails> Now, drag the line above 14 00 00 to "15 02" [2:04pm] <CDi-Fails> that'll be the start of the headers [2:04pm] <CDi-Fails> it won't always be in the same position, but it will always be that [2:04pm] <Chpexo> done [2:05pm] <Chpexo> Do I overwite or just paste? [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> what? [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> let me explain lol [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> copy that little bit [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> or at least, just keep it selected [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> http://wiki.spinout182.com/w/Zelda_64_Scene_Listings:_Debug_ROM [2:05pm] <CDi-Fails> now go here and find hyrule Castle's offset

[2:06pm] <CDi-Fails> should be 02A14000 [2:06pm] <Three_Pendants> Any more interesting news since last night? Or rather earlier today? [2:06pm] <CDi-Fails> Then, go to ZELOOTMA and find that offset

[2:07pm] <CDi-Fails> Anyway, once you find the header in ZELOOTMA, drag down until you find the 14 00 00 stuff again [2:07pm] <Three_Pendants> Oh? Those are unused? [2:07pm] <CDi-Fails> select the line just above it and paste [2:07pm] <CDi-Fails> It should overwrite the data, but the size SHOULD NOT CHANGE

[2:07pm] <CDi-Fails> Anyway, the size should not change-- the data will look as if it has swapped, but nothing should be added or subtracted

[2:47am] <GlitterBerri> mzxrules: Idea - download all .zscene files, automate a process where your computer searches for instances of 1400 0000 0000 0000, output the tallies of the instances of 1400 0000 0000 0000 in each file to a text document [2:48am] <GlitterBerri> iirc, 1400 0000 0000 0000 0000 indicates the end of a cutscene header, so you can sometimes find cutscenes that don’t have starting headers, like the Spirit Temple ones [2:48am] <GlitterBerri> So maybe we’d find unexpected cutscenes in scenes we didn’t anticipate [2:48am] <GlitterBerri> Or more cutscenes than we thought in scene files that already have them

[6:40pm] <mzxrules> glitterberri, because there are no object file commands, yet there are actors in the scenes [6:41pm] <mzxrules> er, the object list command found in scenes is absent [6:42pm] <mzxrules> command numbering to me suggests that it's possible that at one point the components to object files were simply part of the actors [6:42pm] <mzxrules> command numbering + the missing command [6:42pm] <mzxrules> object list is denoted by 0x0E

神々の子孫が住むと言われる地、ハイラル。そこには多くの民族がそれぞれの土地を守りながら独自の文化を築いていた。

Hyrule: A land said to be inhabited by the descendants of the gods. Its myriad denizens have forged unique, individual cultures, while safeguarding their respective domains.

そのハイラルにある『迷いの森』の住人、コキリ族の少年・リンク[＝プレイヤー]は “守護霊獲り”の儀式の時を迎えていた。

The time had come for Link (the player), a boy of the Kokiri tribe dwelling in Hyrule’s Lost Woods, to welcome his “Guardian Spirit Bequeathal” ceremony.

“守護霊獲り”とはコキリ族の少年が妖精の木からパートナーとなる妖精を受け取り、森を自由に歩けるようになる一村の巣立ちの儀式である。ところが妖精の木は、怪しげな魔物によって乗っ取られていた。リンクは途中で遭遇した妖精ナビィと協力して魔物を倒すが、妖精の木はリンクに遺言を残し朽ち果てていく。「ガノンドロフにトライフォースを渡してはならぬ…

The “Guardian Spirit Bequeathal” is a village ceremony marking the day when boys of the Kokiri tribe receive, from the Fairy Tree, a fairy that will act as their companion, and gain the ability to wander the forest freely. The Fairy Tree, however, had been overtaken by a suspicious influx of demons. Link joined forces with Navi, a fairy he’d chanced to encounter enroute, to defeat the monsters, but the Fairy Tree withered away, leaving behind one last request. “Ganondorf must not be allowed to claim the Triforce…”

勇気ある者よ、この精霊石とともに… ハイリアの知恵ある者を探せ…

“Oh, brave one, take this Spiritual Stone, and seek out the one with the wisdom of the Hylia…”

神々の子孫が住むと言われる地、ハイラル。そこには多くの民族がそれぞれの土地を守りながら独自の文化を築いていた。

そのハイラルの中にある、コキリの森に住むコキリ族の少年リンク（＝プレイヤー）は、ある朝、ナビィと名乗る妖精に眠りからさまされる。リンクは遂に自分にも妖精がやって来たと喜んだ。コキリ族なら誰でも相棒となる妖精がいるはずなのだが、なぜかリンクにだけはいなかったのだ。だがしかし、ナビィは大変な話をリンクを告げた。コキリ族の守護神『デクの樹』が、怪しげな魔物たちによってひん死の状態にさらされているというのだ。リンクはナビイと協力して魔物を倒すが、『デクの樹』は遺言を残して朽ち果てる。

「ガノンドロフにトライフォースを渡してはならぬ…　勇気ある者よ、この精霊石とともにハイリアの知恵ある者を探せ…。」

当時、ハイラルでは一つの伝説が信じられていた。神々の『トライフォース』についての伝説である。

誰も知らない聖地にあると言われる、神の力の宿る聖なる三角『トライフォース』。それに触れし者は、無限の力を手にする事ができると言う。

その力を我が手にせんと企む者がいた。その名は魔盗賊ガノンドロフ。ガノンドロフは邪悪な魔物を使い、ハイラル各地を蹂躙しつつ、聖地への入り口を探し続けていた。そしてその魔手は、コキリの森にも伸びていたのである。その事を知ったリンクは、『デクの樹』が残した『森の精霊石』を手に、ハイリア族の都・ハイラル城へと旅立っていった。

ハイラル城に着いたリンクは、同じ年頃の王女・ゼルダ姫と出会う。やはりハイラルの危機を察知していた彼女は、聖地への入り口を知っていると言う。しかしそこへ入るには、神殿の石盤に三つの精霊石をはめ込み、王家の秘宝『時のオカリナ』によってあるメロディーを奏でなければならないのだ。リンクは残る二つの精霊石を探しに、さらなる冒険の旅へとその第一歩を踏み出したのである…。

Morita I'm Morita from SRD. As Takizawa-san mentioned, I was mainly in charge of programming the bosses. I also worked on the fishing minigame. IwataYou are quite the fisherman! Morita No, no… (laughs) Aonuma You didn't just do the programming, but you also wrote the script for the Pond Owner who appears at the Fishing Pond. Morita Oh, that's right! He speaks in the Osaka dialect, so I wrote sample dialogue and gave it to (Toru) Osawa-san, the script director, to brush up. Haruhana In addition to the dialogue, Morita-san made lots of requests regarding that character's face and movements. He requested specific movements like this one (gesturing as if scratching his side) and even drew a rough sketch of how his face should look. Morita Yeah. (laughs) Haruhana Earlier, I said that it was fun having complete control over the characters, but when it came to that character, I had no control! (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Iwata Morita-san, did you make so many requests because that character was modeled after someone real? Morita Yes, that's right! (laughs) I like fishing and I'm from an area near Neyagawa in Osaka, and there's a fishing store I used to go to in that neighborhood. My model was the shopkeeper there. Iwata I knew it. Morita You caught me. (laughs) Haruhana Morita-san made so many requests that we had to redo the character at least two or three times. (laughs)

Iwata According to the "class reunion" we had earlier, no one could see the goal toward which they were headed, despite running full steam ahead. Haruhana We might chalk that up to youth. (laughs) Iwata (Takumi) Kawagoe-san, who was in charge of the cinematics, said the same thing!

Deets about general character design stuff

Iwata So the extremely distinctive characters aren't merely the result of your own output, but the result of everyone throwing in their ideas. Haruhana Right. My job is to give the characters shape at the start, but Osawa-san's script has something like the unformed material in it. Iwata The script contains in words a kind of function required of that character. Haruhana Right. I interpret for myself how I should design a character based on what kind of role that character plays. For example, I drew the Gorons who live on Death Mountain in the way that seemed best to me. Iwata When you first gave them shape, I bet you wanted, somewhat mischievously, to get an exclamation from everyone. Haruhana Yes, that's right. (laughs) First, I wanted the staff to love the design. Seeing whether I can put smiles on the faces of the people around me when I show them something I have innocently drawn is one filter I have. And if it feels right, then I play around with it along those lines and polish it up. I do that over and over. Iwata A lot of distinctive characters have been born that way. Haruhana That's right. But thinking back, I may not have been very hungry for that acceptance back then. What I mean is, I may have been a little weird back then, like I was on automatic drawing or something. Iwata Huh? You mean you were cranking out one character after the other? Haruhana I'm embarrassed to admit it, but yes. I just drew whatever popped into my head one after the other. Iwata You've mentioned several times how you were "innocently" drawing, and I guess that's what you meant. Haruhana Yes. I was just naturally scribbling away. I couldn't see the goal because I was immersed in the world of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and drawing with fervor. Iwata I see. Haruhana But The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has lots of big fields with lots of characters, so I figured in my own youthful way that there was a need to create a strong impression of which people were where. Iwata There was a need to create characters that you would never forget once you saw them. Haruhana Right. For example, I made a considerable conscious effort to make sure players would remember who they would run into if they went around a particular corner.

Since characters are essentially people, there's a tendency to think that their faces are important, but I pay more attention to their figures. Sometimes I shape the figure first and then think about the face. Games can't do much with just close-ups of the characters' faces, so I think that what grabs people more than this or that facial characteristic is a memorable overall shape. Aonuma The Great Fairy is one character you never forget. Iwata The Great Fairy is extremely flamboyant! Aonuma The first time I saw her, rather than smile, I drew back! (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Aonuma She comes out with a laugh, so I thought she might show up in my dreams. (laughs) No one but Haruhana-san could draw a character like that! Haruhana Thanks. (laughs) Aonuma And it's not like someone asked you up front to create an extremely garish fairy, right? Haruhana Right. If I drew a typical fairy, it would be boring. Like what I said earlier about figure, I think it's important to have a gap between what you do and what everyone expects. So at the very least, I wanted to take a half-step in another direction.

Iwata How do you begin making the bosses for a Zelda game? Takizawa In general, I start by receiving the enemy specs from Aonuma-san and considering the designs and functions there. Then, once the specs have come together somewhat, I go to Morita-san at SRD and have him make them move. Aonuma What I gave him was just the basic character arc. Iwata So how the boss appears is the beginning, how the boss attacks is the development, how you beat it is the turn, and how that boss ends up is the conclusion. Aonuma Right. I just provided a framework and Morita-san and Takizawa-san fleshed it out while I waited and looked forward to seeing how it would turn out. But early on in development, I was groping around and drew some of my own sketches. Iwata Huh? You did? Aonuma Yeah. I was once a designer myself. (laughs) But one day, I showed Takizawa-san a sketch I had drawn and said, "I want you to make an enemy like this." He cut me down, saying, "Aonuma-san, could you please stop drawing your own sketches?" Iwata Why was that? Aonuma I thought, "Huh? Why?" and asked if my drawing was really that bad. He said it solidified the appearance, whereas he would rather be free to draw what he wants. Iwata Takizawa-san wanted to start with a blank slate when he drew the bosses. Takizawa Yeah. (laughs) I explained the enemies to Morita-san and he put the programming together right away. I'd look at it and say, "Could you make this a little more…" and about 15 minutes later, he'd show me the new movement. We did that over and over. I think that substantive back-and-forth time was a great learning experience. I learned how to do things as if you're playing catch. Takizawa An example from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the boss Volvagia, which looks like a dragon. Iwata Yes. The boss in the Fire Temple. Takizawa Volvagia is a dragon, so it wriggles and undulates. I only gave Morita-san the dragon model parts, but he set it in motion immediately. It was mysterious how he could do that. Iwata You were impressed―like, "I don't get it, but wow!" Takizawa Yeah. I couldn't help but ask how he did it. He said it was the same as the programming for Star Fox 64. There's this scene when another fighter aircraft is tailing Arwing and… Iwata (jumping in) Oh, that? That's right! It's the same!

Iwata The Fishing Pond in Ocarina of Time is so complete that it's practically a whole fishing video game. That is a part of the Zelda tradition that continues to this day. How did you come to make something on such an impressive scale? Morita The Water Temple is in Lake Hylia. Aonuma-san designed that dungeon. The boss that appears there is Morpha. Just when I was making that, there was a landform like a pool. Iwata Morpha rises up out of the pool and fights Link. Morita Right. When I was making that boss, I casually… Iwata "Casually"? (laughs) I doubt you had that kind of time! Morita But for some reason I did. (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Morita I just happened to have a model of a fish, so… Iwata You "just happened" to have it? (laughs) Morita Yes! (laughs) A model of a fish for putting in an empty bottle. I borrowed that and had it swim in the pool in the dungeon, and when I saw it swimming around, I thought, "Oh! I can go fishing!" Iwata What did you do for a fishing pole? Morita I took the model for something and made it a cylinder, and then… (gestures as if casting a fishing pole) Haruhana You used the motion for Link swinging his sword. Morita Yep. But at that time, it was just for my own enjoyment. You know, for when I needed to take a breather. Iwata How long did it take before the other project members discovered this? Morita Hmm, not long. Aonuma At first, I didn't have any idea he was doing that. Morita Oh, that's right. Aonuma-san came over and I was like, "Uh-oh!" and immediately closed the screen. Everyone (laughs) Aonuma Well, you were supposed to be making a boss! Iwata We had pushed back the project several times, so making a boss was pressing business. You should have been doing that! (laughs) Morita Nonetheless, for some reason, it just kept coming together and… Iwata "For some reason"?! Yeah, because you were pouring your energy into it! (laughs) Is it really that easy to make a fishing game? Morita Yeah. I didn't have to put much effort into it. Aonuma Really…? Morita No, it's true. And it turned out just as I imagined. Aonuma Oh, so you had a complete idea of it before you made it? Morita Yeah. Miyanaga We didn't have to rework it much. Iwata I see. From the start, you had a clear image in your head of what you wanted to make. Morita Yes. If I had the materials and the right place, I knew we could throw it together in to time. Aonuma So, Miyanaga-san, you had to make the landform. Miyanaga Yes. One day, all of a sudden, the field team came and said, "We need a place to go fishing!" But we didn't know where we should make it. Iwata The fishing game actually doesn't have anything to do with Link's adventure. Miyanaga Yeah! (laughs) But if we could create such realistic fishing, everyone wanted to put it in, even if it increased our work. Aonuma Everyone was actually quite excited, saying, "We gotta put that in!" Miyanaga We thought a fishing hole should be near water and decided to put it at Lake Hylia. But we hadn't originally planned on that, so we slapped doors onto a bare stretch of cliff at the edge of the lake. (laughs) Aonuma Yeah! We forced it in! (laughs) Morita It's considered a minigame, but it actually isn't all that small. We had to make a different room to read that data. Iwata So you decided on a place for the Fishing Pond and had to make the contents. Did you make lots of requests, like for the Pond Owner we discussed earlier? Morita Instead of putting in requests, I had them put me in charge of the design! I was like, "Put piles here," and "Put floating weeds here…" Miyanaga We created a foundation and then Morita-san designed everything, even the placement of floating weeds. Iwata When a programmer gets ambitious, he is truly forceful! (laughs) Aonuma The Fishing Pond uses sound from fighting enemies, doesn't it? Morita That was to create tension. Miyanaga Was that song at your request? Morita Uh…yeah. Iwata You even decided the sound? Morita I requested it and put it in myself, and it got left that way. Aonuma When you say "request," you mean you took it without permission and put it in yourself! (laughs) Morita Yeah…that's about right. (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Morita I'd get in trouble if I did that today! The sound staff would be like, "You can't just use that!"

Iwata Morita-san, you were the one who introduced cutting the signs with the sword, weren't you? Why did you do that? Morita No, (Shigeru) Miyamoto-san suggested that. Iwata Oh, is that so? So as usual, Miyamoto-san just strolled in, dropped an idea, and left? Morita Yeah. He was like, "You can slice through the sign, right?" (laughs) Miyanaga If you swing the sword at an angle, the sign splits diagonally. Who made it so you can cut the signs different ways like that? Morita I think I designed that. I thought of it like a little wheel of cheese cut into six pieces. Iwata Like cheese, huh? (laughs) Aonuma In addition to cutting it, a piece will float in the pond. Was that you, Morita-san? Morita Yeah, that was me. Aonuma Morita-san is strong on the waterfront. (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Iwata I laughed when I first saw that. (laughs) Haruhana We saw that at night. Miyamoto-san whispered, "That's cool…" Iwata He said, "Now that's The Legend of Zelda!" Haruhana It isn't much at a glance, but when we put effort into making it float and drift smoothly, Miyamoto-san was really impressed. Morita I'm happy about that. When we made it so a piece would float in the water, they put a sign at the waterside. Iwata They changed the position of the sign because they wanted people to see a piece of it floating in the water. Miyanaga Right. Iwata It doesn't have anything to do with the original function of the signs, though. (laughs) Aonuma Yeah. If you cut the sign, you can't read what's on it! (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Aonuma So we made it so that if you go out once and play "Zelda's Lullaby" on the ocarina, it repairs the sign. Iwata So you also had to add a way to return the sign to normal. Aonuma Right. Development was in its final stages, and we were really busy, but we were like, "It'll be cool, so let's do it!" (laughs) Iwata So it was part of Miyanaga's work and of the others working on the landforms to put a sign by the water and make the Fishing Pond a special landform. Miyanaga Yeah.

Iwata How did you make the landforms? Miyanaga I don't remember exactly, but when I joined the project, the town stage was done. Link was just walking around an empty town. I remember we were talking and started wondering what we could do with the world. Iwata You were still experimenting. Miyanaga Yeah. What I do remember well is how we wanted a village, so we decided to make Kakariko Village at the foot of Death Mountain.

So I drew some rough sketches and talked them over with Haruhana-san, who was in charge of the characters, and Osawa-san, who was in charge of the script. We said, "If we have this kind of resident, they would live in this kind of house," and "Supposing we made this kind of house, this kind of person would live here," and expanded the world of the village. Iwata So instead of having a blueprint for the village from the start, everyone threw out ideas, and little-by-little the residents and houses increased in number, and in the end, the village was done. Miyanaga Yeah, it was like that. Iwata You were also in charge of Hyrule Field. The reason you made such a vast world was so Link could gallop around on a horse, right? Miyanaga Right. It created quite a fuss when I first made that field. People were like, "You can't make it that big!" (laughs) Even riding a horse, it was so big that you would get bored riding around it, so we had to add something. Then lots of people took a hand in it, having enemies appear and putting holes here and there. Aonuma We went around the field looking for places where there wasn't anything and put something at each one. Miyanaga We'd be like, "This area's a bit empty, so I'll make a hole and put something in it." (laughs) Iwata In other words, you made Hyrule Field as a basis for everyone to build their ideas upon, and that's how it turned out to be that kind of space. Miyanaga Right. We made Kakariko Village that way, too. Takizawa We've never really had a perfect blueprint when making a Zelda game. Basically, there's a basis and everyone tosses ideas back and forth and puts them all together. Haruhana That's right. Everyone was always talking things over, putting their ideas together, and making things. For example, instead of telling the director to make a decision, we decided things together. Iwata In other words, you weren't divided into people who gave orders and people who took them. Haruhana Right. Regardless of position or career, we said, "I like it this way better," and naturally shared opinions. That was especially marked toward the end of development. Miyanaga Toward the end, we were like, "I'll take care of that." Haruhana Right. If you noticed something, you just went ahead and did something about it. Iwata The release date got pushed back several times. Aonuma Yeah. Iwata In general, when a release date gets pushed back and the due date for development is extended, hard days lie ahead, so the atmosphere gets heavy. Takizawa But that didn't happen at all with this project. Aonuma Why was that? Takizawa Instead, we were like, "All right!" Iwata Huh? All right? (laughs) Takizawa Yeah. We thought, "Now we can fix that one spot!" Haruhana "We can polish that up more!" Miyanaga "I can put a hole at that one empty spot!" Aonuma Usually shouting "We got an extension! All right!" is unimaginable, but on this project, if I said, "Just let that go," to someone, they would reply, "Huh? Why would I do that?" (laughs) Takizawa At that time, all we could think was, "That was bothering me, so now I've got time to fix it!" We felt very sorry that the fans had to wait even longer when the release got pushed back, but I remember that we ourselves were overjoyed!

Hospitality on the Attack

Iwata Right up until the end, as you were making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, you were putting your ideas together, saying, "Let's put that in!" and "And that, too!" and "We can fix this!" When it finally went on sale, it touched the hearts of people all over the world. Why do you think that is? Aonuma A lot of people say they like the epic story. But on the level of the script, the story isn't actually that epic. Haruhana There aren't a ton of lines of dialogue like in an RPG. Aonuma Right. I think the reason the players sense an epic story and drama is that everything you experience within the game is added to the story. Iwata Your memories of solving a puzzle and thinking, "I'm so smart," pile up as such experiences. Aonuma Right. Iwata And that makes it epic. Haruhana I felt that way, too. In making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS system, I played the original Nintendo 64 version again for the first time in a long while and sensed an immense amount of hospitality. Iwata Hospitality? Haruhana In the dungeons, for example, I felt as if someone were saying, "Welcome!" each time I entered a room. And when players go into a room, there's a roughness in the way it attacks with its full strength. After 13 years, it still has that impact. Iwata Um, the words "hospitality" and "attack" don't usually come up together. Haruhana Hmm. I suppose not. (laughs) Iwata I mean, what kind of hospitality is hospitality that attacks? (laughs) Haruhana Well, when I say hospitality, I don't mean waiting on you hand and foot, I mean that when you go somewhere, all kinds of play await for your enjoyment. Iwata Oh, that is true. Wherever you go, there's a new experience. Haruhana That concentration is amazing. And it isn't a highly organized kind of hospitality like today's games exhibit. Ocarina of Time has a certain bumpiness, irregularity or roughness. Iwata And that's what you mean by attack? (laughs) Haruhana Yes…right. (laughs) Many players who grappled head-on with its imperfectly organized hospitality at the time still talk about it. Aonuma Actually, a lot of places turn away the player. Haruhana That's roughness, too. Aonuma It isn't perfectly organized, so sometimes you end up wandering aimlessly. Iwata Yeah. There are a few places where you get lost. Morita Like in the Water Temple. Aonuma Man, don't go into that! (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Morita But the people who got lost there can refresh at the Fishing Pond. Aonuma Oh, I see. So that's how you set it up! (laughs) Morita Oh right, of course. (firmly) Miyanaga They are right next to each other… Morita It's the perfect placement. Iwata Miyanaga-san, did you hear that? (laughs) Miyanaga Yes. Thank you very much. (laughs) Iwata Last, I'd like each of you to say a few words about how you would like people to play Ocarina of Time now that it has returned 13 years after its original release. We'll start with you, Haruhana-san. Haruhana When I first heard about the remake, I was really happy because people who hadn't experienced the Nintendo 64 version would have a chance to play the game. But I was also worried that since we were faithfully remaking the original, people might think it was old. Iwata After all, it is 13 years old. Haruhana But when I played the Nintendo 3DS version, I realized that it hadn't faded. There are new elements this time, including the stereoscopic 3D, so I hope people who played it before will play it again without saying, "Why now?"

I also hope people who haven't experienced Ocarina of Time before will experience its "rough hospitality." I'm also looking forward to hearing what people think of it. Takizawa I was involved with the remake, too. With regard to game operation, people who played the Nintendo 64 version say it was really comfortable and idealize it. Iwata It is a good memory to them. Takizawa Yes. So I thought the work this time involved turning minuses to zeroes. Iwata What do you mean? Takizawa With regard to the things everyone has idealized, we gave high priority to raising everything to the same level. Iwata If players think, "It wasn't like this," that's a minus, so you have to make them think, "Yes, yes. That's how it was." Takizawa Right. It was rewarding, though, to see how what we had made surpassed the Nintendo 64 version. Neither people who experienced the Nintendo 64 version nor new players will think of it as an old game. I think they will be able to play it as a new game, so I hope they enjoy it. Miyanaga I hardly touched development of the Nintendo 3DS version at all. I was uneasy before I played it. But when I did, the next thing I knew, I was totally immersed in it. Iwata What did you think when you saw Hyrule Field―which you had designed―in 3D? Miyanaga The hills looked like hills! Iwata I see. (laughs) Miyanaga On the Nintendo 64 version, they didn't feel much like hills. But in 3D imaging, you can really tell how the hills rise up. I thought, "Oh, so this is what the landforms were like!" Iwata Even though you made the original landforms (laughs), you rediscovered them! Miyanaga Yeah. It's more realistic. And you can really feel that special atmosphere that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has―which was very important. So I hope people who play it for the first time and people who played it before will both experience a world slightly different from that of the Nintendo 64 version. Morita To put it a different way, suppose a ramen shop I used to love closed 13 years ago. Iwata Ok. (laughs) Morita And all this time I've been thinking, "Man, I would love to eat that ramen again!" Then that shop opens again! The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is like that. Iwata And when you go in that shop, you think, "Oh, this is the taste!" Morita No, "It tastes even better!" (laughs) Everyone (laughs) Morita Rather than just look back fondly, I want everyone to experience the best possible taste that is only possible now, 13 years later. Aonuma It recreates that familiar taste, but as a new game. Haruhana However, having something I made 13 years ago reappear is a little embarrassing, like looking at essays I wrote in junior high. (laughs) Iwata In the last "Iwata Asks," Koizumi-san said he was scared to play it. (laughs) Next time, I will be talking to everyone who, 13 years after the original game, breathed new life into The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Thank you for your time today.

Aonuma Yes. It was hard enough just dealing with the Nintendo 3DS system's increased frame rate.

Moriya Yeah. That was the hardest this time. The trouble that the original staff had experienced was visible in the program source code. For example, there were remains of frantic calculations written in it, like 10 + 1 + 2 – 5. It must have been really tight.

Iwata It was not easy to change the frame rate of the software created in the past. Especially considering that the original game included different frame rates between the heavier and lighter processing parts. Moriya That's right. When there was a number assuming a processing delay, we held our heads in dismay! Aonuma Back then, we might assume a processing delay would occur, but we would work hard to find a way so that players wouldn't pick up on it. In particular, the battle against Ganon7 was sluggish. Iwata But that slightly heavy feeling made Ganon seem large and heavy. Aonuma That's right! If his movements were swift and sharp, it would be weird. Tonooka With regard to collision detection8 between Link and monsters, the original was 20 times in 1 second, but this time it's 30 times and the movement is smoother. But Ikuta-san said, "Isn't it more difficult than before?" I had tried to program it so the difficulty wouldn't change, but the more precise collision detection had changed the way it feels. So I was careful about such things to make sure it felt as similar to the original as possible.

http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/3/2

Iwata Aonuma-san, what was your motivation for making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D? Aonuma As I alluded to when I introduced myself earlier, I wanted to do something about the Water Temple. Everyone talks about it, so it's been a longstanding wish of mine these 13 years! Iwata No matter how much praise The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has garnered, the Water Temple has always been an issue―like a bone caught in your throat for 13 years. Aonuma Yeah. The worst thing was thinking about how many people may have given up there. So this time, if we used the Nintendo 3DS system's two screens, I thought, "Link can put on and take off his Iron Boots in a flash!" So we were like, "Let's do it!"

―

http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/3/3

Tonooka Well, when I received the old program, I thought that all of the creators must have been in high spirits. In the comments box of the source program, someone had written something like, "We got an extension. I'm worried about my bonus. But at least now we can make this." (laughs)

http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/3/5

Moriya The last year has been one mad scramble. I think the staff did a great job and I think the enthusiasm of the original developers came across through the old source code.

There were about seven programs for one boss. With regard to incomplete portions, someone had written a note saying, "I'm relying on…whoever's next." I wonder who that meant? (laughs)

http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/4/0

Iwata Today I'd like to look back with you at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The development period for it was far longer than for other games at the time and the release date got pushed back more than once. Miyamoto The original plan was to release Super Mario 642 simultaneously with the Nintendo 64 system and to bring out The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time3 the following year for Christmas. Iwata It was scheduled to go on sale at the end of 1997. Miyamoto Yes. So it was almost one year late. Iwata Development took about two and a half years. It must have been terribly hard on the developers, but they all said it was fun! Miyamoto That's right. Back then, no one knew which direction the overall game industry was heading. Iwata That's true now, too. (laughs) Miyamoto I suppose so. (laughs) But back then, for example, if you had a big three-billion-yen project, no one knew if it would end up costing five billion, or two billion. Iwata Yes, you couldn't see ahead back then. I wonder how we ever managed! (laughs) Miyamoto No kidding! (laughs) The only person who knew was the person who budgets the scheduled projects. But that person can't guarantee anything when it comes to how fun the game is. Iwata Uh-huh. Miyamoto So Ocarina of Time was one of the very first of such games, I mean, it was a huge project of making game in 3D polygon without knowing the final outcome from the beginning. Iwata It was bigger in scale than anything you had previously experienced. Miyamoto I did, though, have experience building up games one by one. Iwata You had made game after game since even before the Famicom system. Miyamoto And aside from me, (Toshio) Iwawaki-san and (Kazuaki) Morita-san at SRD4 had built up programming experience making 3D graphics for Super Mario 64 and other games. And I think (Yoshiaki) Koizumi-san and those guys had a rough idea of how they wanted to make The Legend of Zelda in 3D based on their experience developing Super Mario 64. Iwata Yes, that's right. 4. SRD Co., Ltd.: A company established in 1979 that contracts to develop video game software programs and develops and sells CAD packages. The head office is in Osaka, and their Kyoto office is inside the Nintendo head office. Miyamoto But no one knew how big in scale it would become. Iwata Even you didn't know how big it would be, but began working on it. Miyamoto Yes. And I am not talking about budget or development period that I just touched on, but because the memory size we could use with the Nintendo 64 system was fixed, I was not able to tell how vast a game could be developed within that capacity. Iwata Back then, the limits of the hardware weren't that high, so you could only do so much. Miyamoto Right. So rather than start by determining a story, we started by making the system. Iwata That's how you always do things. I remember you saying you couldn't make a Zelda game until you had become familiar with the new hardware. Miyamoto Yes, I said that. I had already made Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 645 for the Nintendo 64 system, so I had built up a certain degree of know-how. 5. Star Fox 64™: A 3D shooting game released for the Nintendo 64 system in April 1997. Iwata Like the proprietary camera system and real-time movies. Miyamoto Right. And we had to make something big, but with limited memory. So, for example, suppose certain data were structured into an "ABC" set, "ACD" set and "ADF" set. When each set exists independently, you can read them all at once, but... Iwata With each of them independent, they take up a lot of memory space. Miyamoto Right. So I would have "A" stay there all the time and the other data switch in and out. If you only change what you have to, the memory is more efficient and the data reads more quickly. In other words, you make good use of the characteristics of the ROM.

We put constructing the system first, and since we were going to determine the story in line with the system's capacity, at first I thought only having Ganon's Castle might be enough. Iwata Huh? At first you imagined Ganon's Castle as the only setting? Miyamoto Yes. I thought about putting in all kinds of adventures into the different rooms, like making a dark meadow or an ocean―like in Princess Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64. Iwata You imagined lots of rooms in Ganon's Castle, with various worlds all connected. Miyamoto Yes. In the worst case, Link wouldn't have been able to go outside the castle! (laughs)

―

http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/4/1

Iwata Hearing that Link may not have been able to leave the castle is quite surprising. Was one reason you thought about making Ganon's Castle the only setting because early on in development you didn't think you would be able to create a huge area like Hyrule Field? Miyamoto Yes. I thought so from the perspective of the hardware's processing abilities while making Super Mario 64. At first, I didn't mind making the game complete within a single building as long as I got to make Link in 3D. In other words, it might have turned out like Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.6 6. Zelda II™: The Adventure of Link™: An action-adventure game released for the Family Computer Disk System in January 1987. Iwata Koizumi-san did say that you were experimenting with a polygon version of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for the Super Famicom system. Miyamoto That's right. Partially because of that, I started making it with the idea that Ganon's Castle might be enough. For example, there's a room in which you fight Phantom Ganon after he rides a horse out of a picture. Iwata Yeah. The boss battle in the Forest Temple. Miyamoto That's a glimpse of an idea that I had started making during the time that I was saying to the others, "At the very least, it'll be like this." Iwata Oh, okay. Now that you mention it, I can see that. Because the fight against Phantom Ganon unfolds inside a room. By the way, one early task was chanbara-style (theatrical Japanese style) sword-fighting. (Toru) Osawa-san told me that. Miyamoto That's right. I wondered if we could have one-on-one battles and started thinking up fragments like the battle against Phantom Ganon early on in development, and I tested controls for having Link swing his sword in different directions. Iwata You were making the game as if putting together a puzzle. Miyamoto Yeah. And as we were making it, we were able to have Link walk across a broad landform like grassland. Iwata Did you make that broad landform because you wanted Link to ride a horse? Miyamoto Yeah. Koizumi-san made the horse. But making a broad landform that you could ride a horse across weighed down the processing, so we took it out for a while. And after awhile I returned to work with the production team and launched a huge campaign to regain the grassland! (laughs) Iwata Right. (laughs) Miyamoto We started by testing whether we could have two horses out at once. We thought if we could do that, then we could make other forms of play for that grassland. It went well, so we made a demo video with two horses. We showed that at Nintendo Space World7, and I was like, "Now that we've shown this, there's no backing out!" (laughs) Iwata You forced your own hand! (laughs) Miyamoto Yeah. (laughs) 7. Nintendo Space World: A video game trade show (in Japan) once held by Nintendo. The demo video with two horses for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was shown at Nintendo Space World 1997. Iwata Also, you were the one who really wanted to show Young Link, right? Miyamoto Yes. The work was really piling up, but I said I wanted to show Young Link. I think that caused the other developers a bit of a trouble. (laughs) Iwata Yes, it seems that it did! (laughs) Miyamoto But when I saw Adult Link that Koizumi-san had made, it was cool, but I said, "I don't want to make this without Young Link!" Then we tested whether we could use both Adult and Young Link. Iwata Koizumi-san tinkered with the system and you were able to use Adult Link's motions for Young Link as well. Miyamoto Right. Thanks to that, we could also have Young Link. Iwata Why were you so persistent on Young Link? Miyamoto Link is a boy. In the first game, The Legend of Zelda8, he was about 12 years old. In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, he was about 16, but I never wanted to make him just another cool hero. Until The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link was a playful and childish character. 8. The Legend of Zelda™: An action-adventure game released simultaneously with the Family Computer Disk System in February 1986. Iwata But it seems that when you were making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Koizumi-san's wife asked him why Nintendo didn't have any handsome characters, so he made Link good-looking. I heard that from Koizumi-san himself. (laughs) Miyamoto That's right. (laughs) But I had worked on all the games since the first one, and I thought that if we made him too cool, he wouldn't be Link anymore.

On the other hand, I did want Link to be somewhat cool, so we decided to have both Adult and Young Link. He doesn't just grow from the point of view of stats―as in an RPG―but actually grows up in appearance. When we did that, then all sorts of ideas bubbled up. Iwata More ideas sprang up than when you had just been basing the game around Adult Link. Miyamoto Yes. When we decided to handle Link growing up from a 9-year-old child to a more mature 16-year-old, I wanted lots of characters to fulfill various roles. For example, Kaepora Gaebora is a grandfather figure who gives Link all kinds of advice and looks out for him. And since Link is a boy, I wanted girls besides Princess Zelda to show up. Iwata And that's why Saria and Malon are there. Miyamoto Right. Also, Link's archenemy is Ganon, so I thought they should meet once when he's a child. Iwata So there's that scene at the beginning where Link has a nightmare. Miyamoto Yes. That connects to the courtyard scene. The innocent eyes of a child are able to see through to the truth, so Young Link knows instinctively that Ganon is a bad guy. When Adult Link meets him again, and Ganon says he's that boy from years before, it really hits you. Iwata It sure does. (laughs) Miyamoto You think to yourself, "That's right. I'm that child from before." Putting in that scene was really fun for me. Iwata You make games based around functions, so you don't often talk about story or dramatic interpretation, but I feel like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time may have been an exception. Miyamoto But while making it, I noticed that I didn't want to tell a story so much as I wanted to have a lot of people appear around the main character and portray their relationships. Some years back, a television show called Twin Peaks9 was popular. When I saw that, the most interesting thing wasn't the ins and outs of the story, but what kinds of characters appeared. Iwata Oh, (Takashi) Tezuka-san said the same thing in our session of "Iwata Asks" over The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.10 Miyamoto Oh, he did? Iwata Tezuka-san told the staff of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening11 that he wanted them to have a bunch of suspicious characters appear like in Twin Peaks. 9. Twin Peaks: A television series broadcast in America from 1990 to 1991. It was broadcast in Japan in 1991.

10. The Legend of Zelda™: Spirit Tracks: An action-adventure game released for the Nintendo DS system in December 2009.

11. The Legend of Zelda™: Link's Awakening™: The first game in The Legend of Zelda series for the Game Boy™ system released in June 1993. In December 1998, the remake The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX was released for the Game Boy Color system. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX became available for download from the Nintendo eShop application on June 8, 2011. Miyamoto That's right. I think those suspicious and odd characters alone are interesting. I'm more interested in their presence than who is whose cousin and whose parents were sworn enemies way back when. Iwata You're not too interested in the characters' backgrounds. (laughs) Miyamoto Right. What's important is what role that person plays and how they contribute to portraying the main character. Iwata Yes. You don't want to tell a story so much as you have an interest in how the characters in their roles function to present the main character. It's like you to think about a game from the point of view of how things function. Miyamoto Osawa-san, the script director, made lots of suggestions to me saying, "How about a character that functions like this?" Koizumi-san and (Yoshiki) Haruhana-san quickly designed those characters' visible forms, and I helped make them, too. So even when it comes to the Ocarina of Time, I hardly ever talked about the story. Iwata (Eiji) Aonuma-san said the same thing. He said that while a lot of people say they like the epic story, on the level of the script, the story isn't actually that epic. It feels epic because everything you experience within the game is added to the story. Miyamoto That's right. The experience players have encountering people in the gameworld builds up and comes to feels like a story. Iwata Grappling with the puzzles is another kind of experience. Miyamoto Yes, I think so.

Everyone Loves Horses

Iwata When you make a Zelda game, how do you think about the story? Miyamoto The stories in The Legend of Zelda may not match up as the series progresses. We actually expend a lot of time trying to make them match up, though. It would make things a lot easier if the players said, "Oh, that doesn't really matter." (laughs) Iwata (laughs) You would rather spend your energy making game elements rather than the story. Miyamoto That's right. Sometimes people ask whether Yoshi is a boy or a girl. If I answer, "Probably a boy," then they say, "So a boy is laying eggs?" (laughs) Iwata (laughs) Miyamoto But the moment I say Yoshi lays eggs so Yoshi must be a girl, they'll say, "Then Yoshi's voice needs to sound more like a girl's!" But I want to make video games without having to worry about such background info. Take the animated series Popeye12, for example. In old cartoons like those, the roles of the characters were different every time. Iwata The setting changed every time. 12. Popeye: An American animated television series. The story was a comedy based around the main character Popeye, his girlfriend Olive, and his rival Bluto. The series was broadcast in Japan from 1959 to 1965. Miyamoto Even though the setting was different each time, the characters you knew and loved would come out and perform. Well, the Mario games are set up like that. It would be much easier if we could use any setting in The Legend of Zelda while preserving the essential relationship between Link, Ganon and Zelda. Iwata But when a series builds up for as long as it has, that isn't easy. Miyamoto Right. Especially when it comes to a story of the Zelda games, we can't do anything disappointing, so with the Ocarina of Time, we worked on the story with reference to the past games in the series. Iwata With regard to using character function to portray the main character, which was something you paid great attention to, cut scenes also played an important role. Miyamoto That's right. Processing them in real time was a new challenge that began with Star Fox 64. Iwata I hear you tell people that making cut scenes is all right, but you have to be able to fix them right up through the day before game completion. (laughs) Miyamoto Yes. (laughs) It's a characteristic of mine to change the game right before final delivery. Iwata Is that a characteristic? (laughs) Miyamoto Of course! (laughs) Pre-rendered movies and the way I make games just don't mix. Iwata Back then, it was popular to use pre-rendered movies―videos prepared ahead of time for play at determined spots in the game―but once you made them, you couldn't easily correct them later. Miyamoto If I wanted to fix something, they might tell me, "We'll need at least a month to fix that." In the worst case, they might say, "The movie's done, so it can't be changed." Iwata Yeah. (laughs) Miyamoto I'd be like, "Huh? This would make it more fun, so why can't we fix it?" And they'd say, "Because you can't change the movies." I'd think, "But what's more important to fans, the movies or how fun it is?" That's why I adopted a method of processing the movies in real time. Iwata (Takumi) Kawagoe-san was in charge of the real-time movies, right? Miyamoto Kawagoe-san was a programmer, but he's a big movie fan, so he was really interested in film editing and dramatic scenes. I asked him to make some full-blown video cuts like for theatrical movies. I suppose that was about when we made storyboard paper just for Nintendo. Iwata Did you draw storyboards yourself? Miyamoto Not much. I can draw simple thumbnails, but for the most part I reviewed the actual thing and said, "It should be more like this," and "Show me that." Take for example, that first boss battle, against Gohma. Iwata That's in the dungeon called Inside the Deku Tree. Miyamoto Yes. When you go in the room with that boss, Gohma is hanging from the ceiling, so you wouldn't usually notice, even if there was a rustling sound. So first we position the camera from the viewpoint of Gohma looking down at Link, then we have the camera close in on Link showing fear, then we change the viewpoint so it is from Link looking up toward Gohma. Iwata That way you learn where Gohma is. Miyamoto We used cut scenes like that to explain things like where bosses were positioned, adopting methods only possible in video games. Using movies was incredibly new and very fun. Iwata I heard from Osawa-san that you put a lot of effort into the cut scene when the horse jumps over the fence at Lon Lon Ranch. Miyamoto Well, rather than putting in lots of effort, I'd say we were pushing the new hardware, the Nintendo 64 system, as far as it would go. I wanted to make it look a little cool without looking strange. If you can leave the ranch wherever you want, rough parts of the ranch may stand out, so we thought of forcing in a special event. Iwata You forced that in? (laughs) Miyamoto Yes. You know that guy Ingo who's at the ranch? Iwata Yes. He doesn't have a very nice personality and looks a bit like Luigi. (laughs) Miyamoto That's right. (laughs) Ingo and Link have a horse race. If Link wins, he can get the horse named Epona, but Ingo closes the entrance gate to the ranch. Iwata Then you jump over the fence on Epona and escape. Miyamoto That's right. At first, I imagined a scene in which Ingo, in a frenzy, sets the ranch on fire, so Epona jumps against a backdrop of flames, but then someone said, "What about when Link comes back to the ranch later?" So I gave that up. (laughs) Iwata (laughs) Earlier, I asked about why you were so intent on showing Young Link. Why did you focus so much on having a horse in the game? Miyamoto I suppose because we grew up with (cowboy) Westerns. Iwata Westerns used to be quite popular on television. Miyamoto They had a big influence over me. And the drinking spouts at elementary school always had aluminum cups. We used to flip those over and knock them against the concrete in rhythm so it sounded like a horse galloping. (laughs) Iwata That's right. We did. (laughs) Miyamoto That's how much we all loved horses when we were kids. That rhythm is ingrained into us. That's why I really wanted to make it so you can ride a horse in the Ocarina of Time.

Miyamoto When you change something from 2D to 3D, though, you discover a lot of things, like certain things become no fun anymore. For example, cutting the grass was something that first appeared in The Legend of Zelda series with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.13 When we made it, it was surprisingly fun. Some people started talking about how this was a video game that you cut grass using Spin Attack! (laughs) Iwata (laughs) 13. The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™: An action-adventure game released for the Super Famicom system in November 1991. Miyamoto But when we went to bring that element of cutting grass into The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, it was like we were under orders to do so. Iwata It's not like you could be certain that when you changed cutting grass into 3D it would be even more fun. Miyamoto Right. Just when we were saying that simply remaking that old topic in a prettier way wasn't particularly impressive, we started talking about how it was weird that you could cut the grass but couldn't cut the signs. Iwata So you asked SRD's Morita-san to take care of that. He told me about it. (laughs) Miyamoto You heard? (laughs) We became able to cut the signs, but then we knew people would cut them in different directions. When I said that the signs should cut diagonally when Link swings diagonally, everyone froze up and said, "We can't check exactly where they cut it!" Iwata You wanted the signs to cut exactly where you struck them? Miyamoto Even with the Nintendo 64 system, that would be impossible. So I said, "No, we just have to make several different cut patterns." Iwata Then you made it cut into six pieces like a wheel of cheese. Miyamoto Right. Then you could cut the signs from different directions, but then when a piece flew off and landed in the pond, since we hadn't taken care of collision detection when it hit against water, it would just fall to the bottom with a clack. Iwata It would be weird if it clacked against water. Miyamoto Generally, you would just decide not to put a sign by the water, but Morita-san made it so the piece would float on the water. Iwata And it drifts away. Miyamoto Yeah. Morita-san made that because he was certain the players would love it. Then we just wanted to put more signs by the water! Iwata Haruhana-san described that as hospitality that attacks. Miyamoto Oh… Iwata In other words, the game is very hospitable, but with a certain roughness. That hospitality is everywhere, waiting anxiously for someone to enter so it can pounce! Miyamoto Like in a haunted mansion. Iwata Right. It attacks like in a haunted mansion. (laughs) Miyamoto I think "hospitality" is the right word, too. For example, we had used the idea of grabbing onto a chicken and flying with the game on the Super Famicom system. I thought it would be weird if the graphics were more realistic, but when we made it, I was happy to see that it fit perfectly. I realized that that kind of things are more fun in 3D space, so all of a sudden I said, "Let's make the landforms more three-dimensional." Iwata You changed the landforms for chicken-flying. Miyamoto Then about that time, whichever village I saw, I thought it was rather bleak and boring. I started referencing villages in mountainous districts in China such as you might see in a documentary television show. I was saying, "See? There are all kinds of villages!" and "Can't we make a more distinctive village?" And just then, it connected perfectly to the chickens. Iwata You changed the villages to have more slopes so it would feel better to fly with the chickens. Miyamoto Yes. That too was a kind of hospitality. After changing the villages, we kept on in that spirit and reworked Zora's River so it would have more rise and fall. Iwata Once you took care of one thing, you found something else to do. Miyamoto Right. Originally, the only thing written in the specifications about Zora's River was "Make it a landform like you don't usually see." (laughs) Iwata That's pretty vague! (laughs) Miyamoto But that was enough for (Makoto) Miyanaga-san and others, who were in charge of landforms. You can just say, "Let's make a distinctive village," or "Let's make a really castley castle." (laughs) Iwata (laughs) Miyamoto For Zora's River, it was "Make it a landform like you don't usually see." But real nature is pretty spectacular. Lots of real landforms far surpass human imagination, so ours can't really compete. Iwata I suppose not. Miyamoto When you fly up north in an airplane… Iwata Like when going to Europe. Miyamoto Like maybe from Europe to America? When you look down from a point near the Arctic Circle, you see lots of strange landforms that make you want to go down and take a look around. Iwata But if you did, it would probably be a really harsh place. (laughs) Miyamoto Yeah. Once you went there, you'd never come back! (laughs) When I see places like that, I realize how limited human thought is. Even if we made something way far out with polygons, for some reason it would still look like landscape scenery that you would see in real life. Making stuff like that each day was incredibly enjoyable. Iwata More concentrated discoveries. Miyamoto That's right. When we were making The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, we poured our energy into new things. Iwata It is moving when you see someone put forth so much effort. Miyamoto Yes. But to those of us making the game, we kept thinking right up to the very end how this, that and the other thing weren't good enough yet. For example, there's the Gossip Stone where you can hear hints and rumors. If you put a bomb next to it… Iwata It flies off like a rocket. When I first saw that, I was stunned. (laughs) Miyamoto We put that in toward the end. We put so many Gossip Stones around here and there that we began running out of lines for them to say, so I said, "Just have them tell the time." (laughs) Iwata (laughs) Miyamoto It was sort of like saying, "Wrong stone. Better luck next time." (laughs) Iwata Yeah, like "Try again." (laughs) Miyamoto Like that, right up until the very end, we were saying, "It's missing something," and "Is this really good enough?" Iwata I suppose that's how all that hospitality on the attack entered the game. Miyamoto I think so!

Miyamoto This is something I used to talk about in interviews back then, but I had a solid feeling that we were able to portray something like warmth, scent and humidity in this game. Iwata You're able to sense a certain atmosphere. Something that I said in "Asking Mr. Miyamoto Right Before Release"―one of our sessions of "Iwata Asks" about the Nintendo 3DS system―was how this was the first video game that could make you feel weak in the knees when looking down from a high place, like when you jump into the waterfall. Miyamoto That effect was born once we incorporated autojump. You go in headfirst like you're diving in the Caribbean, so it feels like you're swiftly plummeting, but if you raised your arms high and jumped feet first… Iwata You're just a falling person. (laughs) Miyamoto Right. (laughs) I thought of autojump on one of my days off. I couldn't wait to get to work on Monday! Iwata You couldn't wait to tell everyone. (laughs) Miyamoto Right! (laughs) I gathered everyone on Monday morning and said, "We're gonna do something called autojump!" Everyone's response was, "Say what?!" The team that had made Mario games was going to give up the jump button. Iwata Then you were able to automatically jump over a hole in the road without even pressing a button. Miyamoto Right. An added benefit was that we could program the pose Link would assume after jumping. Iwata Ah, I see. Miyamoto We could look at the landform ahead and determine how Link would jump. Iwata That way we could show Link diving headfirst in front of a high waterfall. A Caribbean diving position! (laughs) Miyamoto Right. I thought, "If we use autojump, then we can do all kinds of things." Thinking of so many new things after that was fun. Iwata It really was a game with a high concentration of new discoveries. Miyamoto Z-targetting15 is another example. Iwata Osawa-san and Koizumi-san said they made all kinds of discoveries related to Z-targeting when they went to Toei Kyoto Studio Park.16 Miyamoto Oh, they talked about that, too? I didn't go, though. 15. Z-targeting: When the player presses the Z Button, not only does the viewpoint shift to a view from directly behind Link™, but Link can also talk with characters at a distance and gain an advantage in battle by locking on to enemies. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, players press the L Button.

16. Toei Kyoto Studio Park: Part of Toei's film studios in Kyoto open to the public as a theme park where visitors can see period drama sets and shows. Iwata What I thought was interesting about that was how Koizumi-san and Osawa-san had each watched the same show, but they noticed different things! (laughs) Miyamoto Which were? Iwata They saw a sword-fighting show, and Koizumi-san noticed how even when one person was fighting against many, his opponents would attack in order, and that proved useful in making battles against multiple opponents. Miyamoto Oh, all right. Iwata And Osawa-san was watching a show with a kusarigama (sickle-and-chain) and came up with the idea of establishing an invisible kusarigama in between Link and opponents. Miyamoto In other words, you move in an arc with reference to your opponent, swing around behind and attack. Iwata That's right. Miyamoto But…that's a little weird. Iwata What is? Miyamoto Going to the studio park to see a historical drama because they were going to make a (Midevil) sword-and-sorcery tale… (laughs) Iwata (laughs) But the idea was to make a chanbara-style The Legend of Zelda game. Miyamoto But in chanbara, you grip the katana with both hands, but Link holds his sword with one hand. (laughs) Iwata Oh, I suppose you're right. (laughs) Miyamoto But they hit on some good ideas there, so in the end it's all right! (laughs) Iwata Yeah. (laughs) How did you feel when Ocarina of Time was done? Miyamoto In terms of having done new things with this game, I felt a very strong feeling that I only feel on a certain number of games that I'm involved in. And I was really happy that we here in Japan could make a medieval tale of sword and sorcery liked by the people of the world. Despite using a historical drama at Toei Kyoto Studio Park as reference! (laughs) It was received well overseas. Iwata Was it at the E3 1999 that Ocarina of Time won so many awards?17 You were going up and down the stairs to the stage accepting awards in all sorts of categories. 17. So many awards: At the Interactive Achievement Awards held the same time as E3 in 1999, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time won in six categories, including Game of the Year. Miyamoto Oh, that's right. I was a little embarrassed. Iwata Why do you think the game was evaluated so highly? Miyamoto At that time, the marketing team in America called it "epic adventure." Iwata Epic, as in old epic poems. Miyamoto Of course, the system was new, but they liked the story element placed on top of it. And how the name of the game doesn't include the name of the main character. (laughs) Iwata A lot of people around the world think Zelda is that guy in the green outfit! (laughs) Miyamoto That has continued for 25 years since the first Zelda game. (laughs) Iwata That, too, is characteristic of the Zelda series. Miyamoto Yeah. By the way, Princess Zelda in the next one is pretty good! (laughs) Iwata You mean in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?18 Miyamoto Yes. 18. The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword: An action-adventure game scheduled for released for the Wii™ console sometime in 2011. Iwata I'll be sure to ask about that when the time comes. Miyamoto Yes, absolutely!

櫛田：グラフィックとならんで、『時のオカリナ』の重要なキーとなっているのが、サウンドですよね。オカリナがサブタイトルになっているだけあって、音楽がストーリーと密接に結びついていますが？宮本：オカリナを登場させよう、と決めた時点で、今回のゲームのキーは音楽だねってことになりました。イベントを起こす鍵や、事件を解決する鍵。従来では魔法が果たしていたような役割を、音楽に託そうと思ったんです。サウンドチームのディレクターが『スーパーマリオブラザーズ』からずっと一緒にやっている近藤浩治ということもあり、音と物語が結びつくアイデアもいろいろ出してもらいました。

櫛田：オカリナ以外のサウンドも、ハイラルの雰囲気にピッタリですね。宮本：今回はハイラルの自然を描きたかったので、それをサウンドにも反映させたい、ということになりました。そこで、近藤と一緒に環境音楽のＣＤ、たとえば海の音とか、小川のせせらぎとか、そういうのを一生懸命聞きましたね。また、ハイラルの神秘的な面を表現するために、宗教音楽のような雰囲気のサウンドや、メロディーラインのない音楽を採用したり、いろいろやりました。

Everyone thinks that the medallions were connected to the spells

Because of that screenshot where Link has the Wind Medallion equipped

However, that screenshot seems to predates the medallion/sage/etc. storyline, as it is from Aug. 1997, and the medallion/sage/time travel/etc. storyline doesn’t appear till Oct. 1997 and beyond.

Also, the Wind Medallion has an almost identical design to the Bombos medallion in ALttP, indicating that it might have been repurposed as a quest item later in development.

In Oct. 1997, the Spiritual Stones, which had just been introduced in Sept., are called “magic Ocarina stones”.

http://tcrf.net/User:GlitterBerri/Prerelease:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Sword_on_A_(Part_1)#Spiritual_Stones

This terminology is reflected in the Debug ROM’s map select, where one of the fairy fountain maps is called “Magic Stone Fairy”.

The cutscenes connected to that map are Link receiving the three spells: Farore’s Wind, Din’s Fire, and Nayru’s Love.

So, if the spells were connected to the Spiritual Stones, then maybe it was the Spiritual Stones that allowed Link to cast magic, rather than medallions.

After all, there are three spells. Green, red, and blue. Same as the stones. And the goddesses associated with the spells are also the goddesses associated with the stones.

Finally, I wanted to know why there is a fragment in Ocarina of Time, the link just so receives (without any help). Was about plans to have another temple in the game, but was then discarded? This question answered Aonuma-san to my complete satisfaction:

Eiji Aonuma: Yes, you may be completely correct, although I can not remember exactly all the details myself. There is indeed a difference between the temples we wanted to include, and those who are there in the final game. And that had something to do with magic. We were thinking to integrate some actions, some plot threads and some puzzles that have something to do with magic abilities. We have come to the conclusion that other, already existing, very regular items can be a worthy substitute. So we originally had three temples, which was to conquer the young Link, three temples for the adult Link and three in which he should learn a spell each - but instead we have eliminated a temple of it. In the final game are now so 3 plus 3 plus 2, ie, to find 8 temple.

—

So, according to Aonuma, there were 3 temples for Young Link, 3 temples for Adult Link, and 3 more temples for Adult Link in which he learned a spell. 9 altogether, one of which was deleted (obviously the Light Temple).

http://glitchkill.proboards.com/thread/4729/beta-magic-arrows

According to this thread, people have found things that seem to correspond to 6 types of arrows (three of which are used) and 3 spells (three of which are used).

There are only 2 unknown spaces after the 3 magic spell variables. If there were 6 spells, one per medallion, you’d expect there to be 3. Perhaps the extra two entries after the spells are not magic, but something else entirely.

—

Perhaps only the Spiritual Stones were spells on their own, and the 6 medallions just allowed you to combine magic with your arrows.

—

Every dungeon item in MM is either the bow, or one of the special arrow types. Another case of "later games get earlier games' ideas"?

Perhaps OoT's "gain medallion after boss fight for special arrow" may have become "arrow as dungeon item" in MM.

Furthermore, maybe the medallions used to be dungeon items, not end-of-dungeon plot coupons.

Perhaps we’ve been wrong all along.

Fin. :O

It would tell the story of how Ganon, once a thief, transformed into a demonic creature.

Link travels to Hyrule Castle, the capital of Hyrule. There, he meets a young woman named Princess Zelda, who knows of the danger facing Hyrule. She gives Link more information about where the Triforce is hidden. When inlaid with three Spiritual Stones, a magical Ocarina serves as a key to its location. Link is now tasked with tracking down these Spiritual Stones and the Triforce before Ganondorf does.

His adventure will take him to a mountain, a valley, and the mythical Zora Lake.

Koizumi First, I talked with Miyamoto-san about how we should make The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo 64 system, and he asked, "How about making it so that Link will not show up?"^[10]

Back when the game was only 3 people

Auto-Jumping

Blade-wielding action was not the only way that Ocarina of Time set itself apart from Super Mario 64.

Iwata If you were to state the difference, it would be how The Legend of Zelda is the one you don't press a button to jump in.^[10]

Koizumi Even when it comes to that, c The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.^[10]

Iwata At first, it didn't have autojump.^[10]

Koizumi That's right. There was no way we could take jumping out of a Super Mario. Bros. game, but when we actually tried making Super Mario 64, the action hurdle was a high one. For example, if you tried to beat an enemy in front of you, the axes weren't aligned, so it was hard.^[10]

Iwata Yes, that's right. When I was at HAL Laboratory thinking about how we could make the Kirby series for the Nintendo 64 system, we wrestled with that.^[10]

These rays of sunshine are present in early concept art.

Introduction

Ocarina of Time was developed concurrently with Super Mario 64, and used a modified Super Mario 64 engine. At 32 megabytes, it ended up being the largest game that Nintendo had created up to that point. Because of concerns caused by memory constraints, Miyamoto imagined a worst-case scenario in which Ocarina of Time’s structure would resemble that of Super Mario 64’s: Ganondorf’s Castle would act as a central hub, with portals leading to other areas. (Phantom Ganon, who materializes out of paintings to attack Link, is a remnant of this concept.)

The game was originally conceived as an entry in the genre of “chanbara”, or Japanese sword fighting. Accordingly, over 120 people worked on developing Link’s movements and blade attacks. This number included stuntmen who modelled sword fighting techniques and the protagonist’s animations.

Subsequent screenshots and trailers showed three different interface configurations, which can be used to demarcate different periods in the game’s development.

December, 1995

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time first premiered at Spaceworld in December, 1995. At that time, the game was known only as Zelda 64. The trailer's debut marked the first time that Link had appeared in 3D. It would be nearly a year before the game would be seen again, this time in a trailer that premiered at Shoshinkai.

Nintendo Power #89

SM: I was also developing Zelda 64 while I was working on Super Mario 64, and I had lots of ideas for Zelda. Since Mario was going to be released earlier, I used some of those ideas in it. […]

Ed.: Is Zelda 64 going to be similar to Super Mario 64?

SM: They resemble one another in some parts. Of course, about half of Zelda will be completely different.

Ed.: Are the characters in Zelda 64 going to move around in 3-D fields like the ones in Mario do?

SM: Yes, in some places.

Ed.: So, will Zelda 64 be like an RPG of Mario with a sword?

SM: No. I’m sure everyone would complain if we did that. They’d think that Zelda 64 looked too much like Super Mario 64.

Ed.: Then what makes Zelda 64 different from Mario 64?

SM: I can’t say anything yet. Well, the camera system…

Ed.: We saw the video of Zelda 64. Have you made any chances since that video?

SM: Yes, scenes in the final version will be quite different from those in the video, but you will still see some scenes from the same angles that you saw in the video. We aren’t sure if it’s the best angle for actually playing. It’s possible to make demo scenes from that angle - they aren’t difficult to create. By the way, some people thought that the demo scenes at Shoshinkai were playing on development equipment, but they were actually playing on the N64.

Ed.: We were shocked when we saw that demonstration video.

SM: What parts of that video were most amazing to you? Were you surprised by the shining, metallic-looking soldiers?

Ed.: I couldn’t believe that those amazing characters were in the actual game. I thought images like those were possible only with development equipment.

SM: But you saw them actually move in the video. You might have noticed the soldiers stop for a moment just before making a move, such as just before swinging a sword. Their action didn’t look natural because of those brief breaks. We need to adjust this problem in the final version.

Environments

One of the primary environments that featured in several screenshots from this time was a vast city. A few glimpses of this city previously appeared in the 1996_miriadegs trailer from the October section above, with a black background where the skybox would eventually be implemented. Unlike the prerendered Hyrule Castle Town that appeared in the final game, the large, blocky buildings of this town were fully modelled.

Nintendo Power #94

Golden Knight named Iron Knuckle

The Zelda development team at EAD also sent wireframes of the Stalfos and Link in battle positions.

September, 1997

Nintendo Power #100

When completed next year, it should be a record-breaking 256 megabits.

So who is the little fairy that flies everywhere with Link? As it turns out, everyone in Link’s clan has a fairy helper. These fairies aren’t just the healers form previous Zelda games. They can help in many ways, including in battle.

Finally, Miyamoto spoke to us about the story and setting of the most anticipated of upcoming N64 games. The biggest news is that Ganon will return as the bad boy of Hyrule. As Zelda fans know, Ganon has a thing for the Triforce and Princess Zelda. In the new adventure, Zelda will once again fall into the villain’s clutches. Part of the game will explain why Ganon, once a lowly thief, became such a twisted despot.

As for the setting, Miyamoto told us that the world “is a size that would be difficult to cross in an entire game day. That’s why Link will be able to drive a vehicle.” He didn’t tell us exactly what sort of vehicle - A Linkoln, perhaps.

Miyamoto also described several areas, mentioning mountains, valleys, a deep “fairy” forest, and the mythical Zola Lake.

October, 1997

Nintendo Power #101

Zelda 64 and Yoshi’s Story are both set for release by the end of the year in Japan.

In Zelda 64, Link is given a mission to find the Triforce, but Ganondorf, king of the thieves, is also hunting the powerful artifact. With the help of Zelda, three magic Ocarina Stones, and Navie the wood fairie, Link sets off on his greatest quest ever.

http://ca.ign.com/articles/1997/10/24/a-link-through-time

only the adult link can handle the heavy bow and the sword whereas young Link uses the sling shot, wooden stick and the dagger.
all the landmarks of Hyrule seem to have made the jump from 16 to 64-bit, including Turtle Rock, Hyrule Castle, and even Death Mountain.
Zelda 64 introduces the "Tower of Time" and the "Ocarina of Time."
Link receives the ocarina fairly early in the game, but needs to find four magic stones before he can use it.
Dagger, Ink Stone, Whip

IGN Article

Nov. 25th, 1997:

http://ca.ign.com/articles/1997/11/25/everything-about-zelda-64

In Zelda 64, you can open drawers
If you carry your sword in your hand (the left one, of coursE), Link will swim with only one hand, or struggle a bit to climb up a ledge. (HF vid)
Unfortunately, the typical Zelda theme music wasn't in yet, but if it's as good as the ambient soundtrack, you're in for a treat.
Link encounters several strange creatures in the fields, among them stones that come to life
You could also try out three different boss battles. The first one pits you against two pretty tall and scary Stalfos skeltons in a round arena that both attack you at the same time. When you kill them, they crumble to a heap of bones.
Link's fairy hovers over his head and greets non-player characters with a friendly "konnichi-wa" (Good Day).
When locking on to an enemy with Z, Navie flies over to the target and points out its location while assuming a red colour.
Navie is so far the only "speaking" character seen in the game, and she often shouts advice as to what to do while battling.
When you press the A-Button, Link draws his sword and carries it in his left hand. Press the button again and he swings the blade horizontally. Pressing the button three times performs two swings and one downward slash.
Press B (when it is in the jump-mode) and A and Link lurches foward and attack with his sword.
But be careful, if he's in the middle of a jump and not ready to catch the boomerang, it may actually hurt him.
Note that the demo Nintendo showed off at the Space World was a collection of test levels, put together just for the show.
