Anubis is a dead enemy that is mummified and the closest thing that OOT has a wizzrobe. It keeps its distance and summons fire magic at Link, very similar characteristics to a wizzrobe and no other OOT enemy does that.  And LOL NOPE to the MM wizzrobe.

I thought about going back to the original design from LoZ but then again....I felt their design was also too close resemblance to this:

Personally I'm -really- happy with the design of the wizzrobe and darknut! :3

It's nice alright, Zeth, & good job explaining the reasoning for the design!! ;)

@Zeth: I know you said that your hack won't be released for Virtual Console, but I recently purchased a Wii U, & I was wondering, (no, don't worry, I'm not going to ask about whether it will be available via Virtual Console), if you could play it via emulator, on the Wii U, much like you can with BS Zelda, & Ancient Stone Tablets?!

I'm not very good at downloading, but I might get some help!! :D

& when-&-if the 3DS becomes hackable, maybe you could port it for that system, if possible sometime...

I'd very much appreciate either 1!! ;) :link:

Any truth to this article, Zeth?
I'm officially retired from beta testing, and resign my duties to those who have the time to do it.

:head explodes:

Truly horrible news...

Guess this means that I WILL HAVE TO GET THE DEBUG ROM... >_<

:stalfos:

EDIT: I took the liberty of checking out the GCN main site, & well:

Anyways, Its true, I'm leaving the community for a while, URA is cancelled for now and its not because of my ego(or whatever everyone like to keep assuming and posting for whatever reason) its because I honestly can't handle the stress, its effecting my health badly. Its why I'm breaking from the community for a while and pushing onward in my own direction for the moment. During the time I said I was going to release the files of URA, its was during the time I planned on staying in the community and using them to make minimods and improvements to OOT if Ura could not be finished. But after seeing this huge disarray and everyone is blaming everyone, and the personal fight you've all heard about it, I decided it was best for me to leave to stop myself from having massive chest pains from the stress. Now while I am leaving, its going to be for a lot better reason, I've realized tonight, I've relied on people to make tools for me waaaaay too much because I didn't know how to program. I could hack and do some pretty awesome stuff, but programming was pretty much something I never got into. Because of this reason, I had to wait on the programmers to find time to make these tools that could help push the project forward, what am I to do if I don't have a program that can convert the maps I modeled properly? or make texture replacement not such a huge hassle/obstacle? In honesty, there was a lot of things that needed to be made and they just weren't getting done. After Ura's programmer left, it left us in a very bad situation and I didn't want to just downgrade the project ridiculously just to release new content, it wouldn't be the same project if I did. I'm not blaming any of the programmers because you know life sucks, it gets in the way. If anyone understands that, its me(Trust me, it happens a lot with me, even things I haven't told the community). So I'm not going to rely on people to make tools to help me accomplish tasks I need,  while I'm gone I'm spending time learning ASM and how to program so I can make the tools I need to get shit done the right way so the project can get completed and not take two, three, four years down the road to complete. Ura has been my mod I have held with a passion and its not something I'm just done with. Programming and learning ASM is going to take time and its why I removed my channel on youtube, the website, etc. I don't want the distractions or the pressure.(we've all seen how negative people can get) There is one thing that stopped a lot of progress, the team seemed to be scared of MM because it would require documenting and looking into how it runs. (Its not OOT, but it is a far superior engine) I've had people tell me its impossible, even the team doubted it at first when it was brought up(which apparently never left them which I had no clue about), that's when I made the MM Castle town engine test video, to show it is possible.(if I am correct, it was also the first custom map imported into MM that I have seen). Since I've been with this community, people have always told me, its impossible to do this or that and it pushes me to prove them wrong. Like fixing the beta kokiri girl Fado, importing a map from Twilight princess, importing that room from mad monster mansion from banjo kazooie, importing models from MM and loading them up in OOT, restoring the beta blue fairy, importing animations from MM to OOT, etc. Since I've been with this community, I've pushed a lot of limits and done things a lot of people wasn't able to do at that time.(I guess this is where people mix this stuff up with my ego rather then its just history, the thing is this is the truth) And now I have a fire of determination I haven't had in a VERY LONG TIME. Ura will happen when the time is right, but right now I have a lot of ground to cover and its time I do it properly. I do thank everyone who has worked with me and some of the Ura team who I do keep in contact I am sure I will keep them up to date what's going on such as shadowfire and thank you to the people who have supported this project and the wonderful comments I did see in the end, I promise the negative didn't overshadow the good things you said. So, in the meantime in my absence, enjoy the other projects here and keep an eye out for when I do pop back in to share things. ;)


...Ah well...

I hope Ura gets back on schedule ASAP...

Look on the bright side, everyone, @least it WILL HAPPEN SOMETIME...

It would be nice of them if they could release the unfinished hack as it currently is (sort of like a demo, if you will).
Perhaps even make it "open source" (by publishing notes and what have you) so others can continue it.

Well... that's a shame... hopefully Zeth doesn't fall into the same trap some people do, in which they ~want~ to learn how to do everything they need, for their project... but aren't able to for whatever reason... and then just give up, rather than turning to others for help.

There is some hope, though... Mott proved that it's possible to do "it on your own", and release his own version of Map 1/2 in ROM format... so there's a chance Zeth can do the same.

The overly enthused BS-X nerd.
I've been being linked various articles in relation to this, btw.

including this one.

I think I'll just summarize it by saying that it's a good thing I never got involved in the N64 Zelda hacking scene.

I will readily agree that the project grew too ambitious for its own good, far surpassing what the original intent had been (re-create the features that we know, from interviews and leftover data, would have been in URA Zelda and the early beta of OoT).

But I like the Dark World Goron and the Vaati redesign (oh wait, it's Dark Link... well I'll pretend it's Vaati) but mostly I'm very impressed with the Dark World map! Those screenshots of the Dark World Pyramid and Tower are fantastic and I rather like the idea that Turtle Rock used to be inside a larger cavern.

I didn't realize that the project was going to be this huge! It's unfortunate that this has to be put on hold, but if it's causing Zeth problems, I don't hold it against him at all. Hopefully one day we'll get a completed project.

I sure hope either Zeth comes back, &/or someone else takes up the cause...

Just thought I'd share this:

Someone has gone out of their way to accomplish this!!

Does this mean that the rest of the project might get restored as well?!

:stalfos: You're resident thread necromancer brings you news of:

Project Beta Triforce!!

It looks like this 1 won't have quite as many dungeons/characters as Zeth's former project, & as much as I'd love for them to include the Heroes of Light, as well as :link: , (as well as many other elements from the Zelda Ura Restoration Project, by Zeth), I have the feeling that they won't go to that extent, unfortunately, although this is still cool!!

What are everyone's thoughts on this new project?!

Looks like they recycled some music from Zeth's project as well!!

Oh, & as for the video in my last post, it seems to be from the same guy who's doing this project!!
