I've witnessed in the past people abusing the heck out of the edit function, changing their posts long after everyone had forgotten what was written into them so they could make themselves look better. Like say, by making it appear as if they'd raised points in a discussion that the others involved did not object or debate, just to offer one example.

Ah ok, well perhaps extend the limit to a couple hours? That would give more then plenty enough time to edit things? :3

Sorry about this duke, I had missed your post completely. Best way I guess is go over this one quote at a time, haha.

Quote:
 
Sleep? In theory the BS-X avatars are supposed to be living out their lives in the BS-X town. Or is this a reference to how by the time the 64DD was released, the Satellaview had shut down (at least, I think it had)?

Actually as in Satella walker 2, the hero starts out asleep, just as he does in AST, so that's where this is coming in, however, he will see what has happened during his sleep, as the town has begun to fall into ruin.(This is a big reference to St. GIGA)


Quote:
 
So this would be after the end of OoT, right? Except that being this a time travel story everything gets "rewinded to the beginning" is that so?


Yes, the Hero of Light story is a sequel to OOT, but also fills the gaps between a couple other Zelda games. Since the Hero is sent into the beginning of the new events unfolding, its not just a rewind, but also a set of new events.

Quote:
 
Can't wait to see these two in particular :)
The bottom of the well is still going to be integrated into being Hyrule Castle's sewers, right? From which you must escape rather than simply being escorted out by Impa? (As it supposedly was going to be before they decided to make it into its own dungeon).

Ah wait... maybe not since Hyrule Castle is listed after Jabu Jabu (and not between Deku Tree and Dodongo's Cavern).

The well was removed cause it really is the most pointless waste of space dungeon ever! You can remove the water, fight dead hand at the entrance without obtaining any keys and get the lens of truth and walk right out, dungeon is pointless. Not to mention that the escape into Hyrule Castle sewers/well was just a fan rumor, not fact. Also the Temple of Light and Hyrule Castle are some of my favorite new dungeons btw! :3


Quote:
 
And will it also still be possible to play using Link, even if the dialogue refers to him as the hero of light from another world? (You know, like we have a patch that changes the male character in AST to Link, although the story mantains that he has left Hyrule).


I honestly don't want to offer that patch, cause to me that kind of defeats the point of making this story. I can be a little bit OCD about how things work in a mod I'm doing, so to me, having the main character not being referred correctly would bug the hell out of me. XD
Honestly if people want to play as Link so badly, they can play an official Zelda game, I like my BS-X character. :3

Ah, so our later guesses were right, cool :)

Aw, it was one of my favorites. I found it darker and more sinister than the Shadow Temple (especially the torture room in the very center of it)

Oh, I see. I thought there might be some leftover code providing evidence for that.

Good to hear they're coming along well!
Are they going to be anything like these shots from the beta?

And while we're digging photos, can we look forward to any of this?

(I believe you mentioned the larger castle town before, but I can't remember for sure)


But you know what was the biggest letdown to me when OoT came out?
That we didn't get to see the Sacred Realm at all.
Having grown up with these words from ALttP's manual haunting my dreams:
"In a realm beyond sight,
The Sky shines gold, not blue.
There, the Triforce’s might
Makes mortal dreams come true."

plus the beautiful drawing going along with it:

when I heard the next game was to take place before Ganon got the Triforce (and corrupted it into the Dark World) I was really, REALLY looking forward to seeing the Golden Land.
But no, all OoT gave us was one windowless room.

...do you think there's any chance your hack might finally make my wish come true?
I'm not asking for an entire new world map, of course (though I'm not objecting to one either..!), something like the small area in front of Ganon's Tower in AST would be more than adequate (I would have used the area outside of the palace in the Twilight Realm from TP as an example, the place is basically based on the above picture with floating islands, but there was literally nothing to do there, while at least AST has a couple caves to explore).

Really, all I wish for is getting to walk around in that drawing (even if the Triforce's nowhere to be seen because Ganon's got it). Would be great if we could come back later and hookshot and hover boots between the floating islands, checking out ancient temple ruins.

Ah, I see.
That's too bad... mostly because I always wanted to get Link into the temple of Light and Hyrule Castle proper. Oh well, still definitely looking forward to it ^_^

Shadow Temple was much more sinister with its spinning scythes, its ferry of the dead, the torture chamber in the end and the guillotine.

A full 3D town and no more prerendered backgrounds, yes. Anything like in those screenshots? um no cause we are much more talented then what Nintendo was back then. xD

That will not be an issue here, like you I was also dissappointed as well that we never even got a glimpse of the sacred realm.

Ah but that's exactly the issue I've got with it: the Shadow Temple went too far.
Whereas the bottom of the well is a gritty, relatively realistic, place and one where I can imagine prisoners being dragged to their cells and tortured, I had a really hard time taking the same concept seriously with the temple.
I mean, like you said the torture chamber was at the end, after the "ferry of the dead". When I got there I thought "Really? You take them all the way over here through paths that stretch over bottomless pits among other hazardous situations to both prisoners and executioners, including a Willy Wonka-ish boat ride with jingling bells before you can start torturing them?"
The bells on the boat and the rotating scythes are what really killed it for me. I mean, the former is actually more funny than sinister to me and the latter seems so unrealisticly impractical. I know about swinging vertical pendolums employed as means of torture, with the prisoner tied below as it descends, but how would a fixed rotating schyte work to that end?
You could say I'm looking too much into this, but that's just how my brain works ^_^'

So even better, wonderful :)
But will the locations in the game resemble these at all? I've been dying to get into that particular room in the castle, fighting that gold armored guard, confront some Stalfos in that room with the triangular window golden lights pours in from, wander in a misty seemingly boundless forest and possibly most of all fight some old school ground dwelling Octoroks!

That room indeed, my friend, that...

...wtf black Navi? O_o



Anyway, now that i see not one but rows of windows and what seems to be an elevated platform in the back, this room really reminds me of the church from ALttP.

Ah I see, I thought you guys were experimenting with some new ability for her.

Actually say, are you guys doing anything about the continous stream of heys, looks and watch outs?

Yeah, Navi isn't in the game, Raze is the new fairy that follow the Hero of Light. Also Navi's Voice has been overwritten with Tatl's chimes.

@Zeth: Is it the same Hero of Light that is in BSLOZ/AST?!
My Viewpoints
 
"Nothing you can say will ever convince me that the Zelda, Link & Impa of OOTURA, ALTTPGBA, SC2, BSLOZ, & OOX are different characters, or that Link isn't part Kokiri, FOR SOME Zelda Universes and that the mangas aren't canon FOR SOME alternate realities."
