I wish I still had a screenshot that old, hahah.

I agree with the rest. Don't let other creations discourage you from starting. There is nothing like let your creativity flow doing something you care and feel passionate about. You don't have to aim to make something extreme, so I like you are setting your sights in something more defined. I am sure you will learn a lot. Hopefully you can bring it to fruition even if it takes longer than what you anticipate. Making it because is what you want to do. Forget self doubts and go with it, one step at the time.
In addition, don't underestimate the satisfaction and the excellent learning experience than a project like this can bring you. This can only be the beginning of a new love and bigger projects, or at the very least a portal to know more about yourself.

Keep us tuned! I'd love to hear about how the project is going. :^o^:

To be honest, everything but the "4 Mega" sounds like assumptions made out of what we got already.
Technology versus Fantasy: The first trailer showed ancient relic/creature and an arrow that looked infused. I mean it is not as if the whole series have shown a balance of them: Trains, color cameras mixed with medieval weapons. It is also conveniently vague. I am sure many of us were reminded of SS and the third zone.
Dynamic weather: Look gusts of wind! Maybe the weather will be more important for this game.
100 mini dungeons: Aonuma said in the past something to the effect of he wanting the dungeons to be gradual instead and not direct locations. Then you have people thinking the size of the map reminds them of "The Elder Scrolls". I am sure is not that much of a stretch to fantasise withs ome mini dungeons or puzzles. I suppose similar to some TP puzzles.

It really is just that 4 dungeons one I don't really find easy to assume from the trailers and imagery we already got. If this rumour has something to go to, I suppose there will only be 4 bog structure like obvious dungeons, maybe four point locations. Reading your note though, I do agree it really sounds like something that makes you strongly think of Majora's Mask. It does detract more credibility. If you think it is false, then the other points would exist only to give more credibility to the '4 dungeon' one, as the dummy ones, like the fantasy versus technology theme, become 'confirmed'.

The most I am willing to concede for the benefit of doubt would be information taken out of context and not meant to mean that those are the only 4 dungeons of the game as much as that within the game 4 dungeons are going to have some special meaning or connection, most likely to find the main McGuffins or something.

I think I enjoy mostly franchises

Mario Kart (Nintendo 64 is one of my faves among with MK8 for Wii U... cuz Link)
Mario Party (MP2 for Nintendo 64)
Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS (I've enjoyed them all, really).
Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo 64)
Goldeneye (Nintendo 64)
Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64)
Little Big Planet 2 (PS3)

There are many more fighting games like:
Street Fighters Alpha 3 (PS1)
Tekken 3
King of Fighters 95 and 97.
Soul Calibur II (Gamecube edition cuz Link)
Mortal Kombat for the PS1
Marvel versus Capcom 2

Make Believe
Vanilla Sky

How was it. I had some things to attend to so I haven't been online for the past several days.
Have you found the sweet point with the settings for your stream or the time?

I usually feel pretty excited around this time but this year I feel deflated. I am curious on Square-Enix and Sony presentations mostly.

Quote from Lexatom

Defenitely not looking forward to Nintendo since they're only showing Zelda U/NX.

It is my understanding the Zelda only thing was regarding the display demos and not the actual conferences, so I think they will discuss more than just Zelda. Only the NX has planly be stated to be off limits for the E3.

However I also have heard around Nintendo isn't even planning a proper direct so in the very end I have no clue.

That little frog is so cute! :^o^:

75...

*whistles innocently*

As the E3 is nearing, I was wondering how are you guys feeling about it. Are you interested in this year E3?

What conferences are you looking forward to?

Is there anything you're hoping or wishing would happen this year?

Are you watching them live, later or just read the news in other websites?

Quote from Edward_Stryfe

They don't benefit you exactly. But it's a video format (like MKV or MP4 or AVI) but it is much more widely compatible with more browsers and places like 4chan, and Imgur use them to hold short .GIF like videos. And a good amount of the time the codecs take up less space then competitors.

That was the kind of thing I meant by 'benefit' if it compress things better, is becoming used by more popular sites and the like, then it is definitely to our advantage we are compatible with it.

I'd see what I can do. I have basically been in hiatus all of May but I am hoping that past the E3 I should be all sorted up and ready to resume all the things I have pendant.

Quote from Edward_Stryfe

Well if you want one that can behave in obscure resolutions and the file to be hosted on your website I can work that out for you guys, so that it'll be in a proper ratio with the site. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks for the offer, for now I just rather see how the swap of text by image works, even if it is not a fancy arrow. I'll definitely keep you in mind for when I finally sit to do this.

Quote from Edward_Stryfe

Yeah I understand, I just am well enough versed in CSS and HTML for the Times new Roman font to grind on my nerves, on top of that it makes pretty much any website seem unfinished since it's pretty much any server's default font.

Yeah, I know what you mean about it being the default font and how it is not a style that makes things easier to read.
Xenforo, the platform we're using doesn't use Times New Roman for its default skin, which is the base to build any skin, so if our current layouts are using it, I think it was very likely a deliberate choice.

Once again, I really appreciate all the useful feedback we've gotten and I will fix these bugs.
Thank you guys!

Take your time. It should be something adapted to you so it is not a tedious chore. I want to see you have fun!

Feel free to get my attention when you're about to start. If you have time to plan it ahead of time, feel free to use the shoutbox and stuff to let us.

All in all I don't mind people coming up with theories or even just simple what-if ideas. I agree a forum is a good place to share them, they might resonate with other people and you can always come back to them.

In the end am sure we all know the "it's just a game" and that many things we tie together are more coincidence that a purposefully inclusion. Like you said developers are more focused in making sure to create a good game than making sure each element has an explanation or obeys the laws of physics. This doesn't take away from the fun of trying to rationalise things and have them make some sense. It is also a great way to bond by discussing those ideas, that's how many theories start.

I appreciate you took the time to share your thoughts with us.

I think it is the first time I read someone suggest a link tying up this event with Dark Link. Two events largely discussed about OoT.
I suppose you prefer we keep things simple, so I'll try. Although I am darn babbler. So let me see if I get this.

[INDENT]We have two timelines: T1 and T2.
T1 is Young Link (YL)'s original Timeline. All what we recall in the game up to the point we pick up the sword is in T1.
When YL is transported in the Seven Realm he inadvertently switches into T2. This is the reason people like Guru-guru mention things he didn't do.

So from now on going back in time means returning to T1 (I am not sure if traveling forward means returning to T2 or if we don't visit that timeline anymore)
So when YL-T2 entered the Sacred realm his soul was not sealed (because YL-T1 had accidentally taken his place) and instead the force of Darkness got hold of him and made him become Dark Link.[/INDENT]
This is why understand the idea suggests. If I am wrong the rest will not make sense, hahaha.:XD:
Feel free to correct me.

At first I didn't think much of it, but it is kind of clever way to rationalise the paradox and at the same time explain the origin of a mid-boss who-se description is "conquer yourself".
I don't particularly believe it but it is a fun way to put it.

Quote from Silent Lion

there are other things in the game, like the deku seed platforms, that don't appear in the future unless you plant them in the past, suggesting that YL has no effect on AL era unless you go back and actually do the stuff yourself.

This is the itch of the whole business. So far, you affect the past to get a result in the present, and this one is a bit different as it feels triggered before you did that change. Since the grandfather parable is just a loop, I guess this one can also be seen as such.

I remember another theory, where Zelda impersonated Link a few months after he was trapped in the Sacred Realm and was the one that put things in motion. She dried up the well, and then when Adult Link learns of this and travels back, he travels just to when he had taken the sword, which is a few months before Zelda tried. So, Link rewrites the past and is able to get the Lens of Truth. The idea is that this was the way Zelda thought she could point him towards retrieving the Sheikah treasure in the well. It kind of makes sense, except for the little fact that she had already given out the Ocarina to Link by that point.

Quote from Silent Lion

How did the sages know about the other timeline in order to send Link there?

I don't think the sages sended Link anywhere, they just helped him within the timeline Link was in, for example when they made the rainbow bridge.
Instead of trying to answer your questions I had to go with this part. [emoji38]

Sounds cool.

Just pick something you enjoy and chill. No need to out a performance.

Hola crap, that sure is messed up.

You cannot control the environment outside your home, like church going but make sure to have them banned from your house. Don't open the door to them. No matter how many years you have been together if they are frigging beating for nothing they are definitely not being your friends.

I suppose other people didn't jump in because it is a thorny issue, we don't know all the details and misguided advice by a bad assumption could get you in a even worse situation. it is good your uncle knows of this, even though he's not near you at this time.

The only idea I have is, how about you and your girlfriend change churches? Would that put you guys in a worse risk?
I am sorry you are going through all this crap.

So, was it ever confirmed what this was?

Not as far as I am aware, but I don't lose hope that the E3 will include something regarding 30th anniversary, and hopefully there more will be revealed. If not I guess it really was nothing after all.

A Link between world was a pretty enjoyable ride for me. I actually finished not long ago. I had been postponing the end until I located every mai mai. I had to screen grab to miiverse a last look to certain characters.

Score! :OoT: was my first Zelda ever too!

Zelda has more than what you initially could guess. Some people really go far with theories and assumptions about the royal family and different races in Hyrule.

Also, I feel so happy you found us through Google. I really hope we get more Zelda fans so we can talk freely about many games. Yay!

Happy exploring! :^o^:

Sorry guys, I haven't much time to check in depth , but I appreciate your suggestions and reports.

Hey two things,

For one, I notice you guys are still using Times New Roman, or similar for your font for your messages for the most part and it just kind of makes everything seem off. I noticed this from the start, so I was wondering if you guys ever considered changing to something like, Arial, or Courier New. You don't need custom files for those fonts just the code. There's also a few similar backup fonts that you can use in case a certain browser doesn't support it. (I've got that below if you want to see it)

Code

font-family: Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif; /*Arial*//*Courier New*/font-family:Courier New, Courier, Monaco, monospace; /*Courier New*/

Thanks. I find the current font fine so unless it is a big issue I rather leave it like this.

Also there's a deal with the "Top" link it is just a little hard to get to. So if you want you could do something like have a button like this. For CSS and such you just need to have this added anywhere on the main index.php file since it is the root file for all the pages it seems. Just add it to any global part of the website.

HTML

<a href='javascript:scroll(0,0);' id='goupbutton' style='position:fixed;bottom:30px;right:35px;'><img src='http://www.iconj.com/ico/s/0/s0pjmskazo.ico' height='28' width='28'/></a>

If you guys want to do the second one let me know cause I made up the arrow button and am using some random host for it so I can just send you guys the actual file if you want

Edit: I changed link for the top of the page situation so that it works better and used some JS instead of trying to link to an ID

Thanks, no sweat, if we implement it we would make sure to have the file directly in our server. It's just better that way. I don't think I'd implement a fixed floating thing, but I can change the bottom url to have an icon if that makes it easier.

Maybe later on when I understand better how to ensure it will behave no matter the device resolution I can try some float.

Quote from Edward_Stryfe

There's this which is more of a bug right now. But the Chat Popup option leads to a page that is apparently inaccessible for a regular user.

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.
I will look up that. Since we can use the chat just fine, I suppose the permission error comes from the page url itself. Hopefully it is a quick fix.

Quote from CM30

Does anyone actually use the Media Gallery or Resource Manager here? Might be worth trying to add some content there, to not make them look so dead...

I am planning to simplify the categories of the media manager and promote its use.

For now, basically if it is Zelda images and videos, consider using it instead of opening a thread. I will try to come up with some fun activities and medals to entice its use.

As for the resource one. I have to get back to you guys. anyway, I will ytry to add some tutorials and dispel the confusion. I think that is what stops most people.

Quote from Edward_Stryfe

Adding Webm to the Resource option list of accepted formats might be a good move.

I haven't heard about this format. Mind elaborating what kind of files are those and how would we benefit from adding them?

From the diagram shown. It seems to be a white and black approach. Either you give a positive result or not.

This means that for example printing a book that allows it might get the whole thing cancelled if it included an excerpt from another book attached to the system as prohibited. You could have paid for the book. That it was made before this system means squat. I doubt you will be able to prove purchases for old material.

It would be better to analyse the amount of matched data. If we're allowed to cite a certain percent of a work in our own writings, that should be taken in account at the time of printing. You need to cite copyrighted material so you are, you know, not trying to claim it as your own but actually send people to the source.

Anyway, from that preliminary look it looks really bad. I agree with LS, if people can avoid it they will probably will.
