ENEMIES!

Yeah, I really like the enemy pattern in Zelda II so, I would like to see that first please

[Jared]

Enemies, definitely!

My opinion, anyway.

What bums you out about people sharing the same ideas for a quest as you? Oh and I believe Cukeman is using the classic tileset.

...Y'know, to tell the truth, the biggest reason I'm bummed about it is because I keep having to listen to people saying "I think someone else is already doing this!" If it weren't for everyone stating the obvious, I would be less bothered.

Well, there is one other hindrance: I want my quest to be different, and if we're both remaking the same game, there's a chance we'll do a few things similarly, entirely by coincidence. We can always talk and make sure we aren't retreading each other's steps, of course, but it is still a little bit of a bother.

Enemies it is I'll show off Arulowder, Daira, Doomknocker, and Doomraddle and also show off one of the bosses. Not sure which yet though.

Another Question: Out of the 6 palace guardians which one would you like me to show off. Note It won't be the actual graphics I used. So if looks wierd you know why.

BARBA.

His name is Volvagia :>

Actually barba would be his name. At least it's his original name. They changed it because it's a spanish word or something like that.

No, in Zelda 2 the dragon was called Barba. Trust me, I researched this when I drew graphics for a Volvagia/Barba boss. Volvagia is obviously inspired by Barba, but they carry different names.

Also, I believe Volvagia in OoT is female.

No like, Barba is a mistranslation of Barubaija, the Japanese spelling of Volvagia, Barba was even changed to the correct name in re-releases.

Grrr, dangit. That really is reaching new lows for mistranslation. I swear, Zelda names barely resemble their Japanese counterparts. And so much for consistency.

Okay, Volvagia it is, then. Ahem.

VOLVAGIA.

VOLVAGIA. VOLVAGIA. VOLVAGIA. VOLVAGIA. VOLVAGIA.

...Dangit. That's a lot harder to shout.

Volvagia... Barba... Who the hell cares.

Volvagia... Barba... Who the hell cares.

s***, I forgot that part. I say we go with calling him barba... Because it sounds cooler.

Personally, I actually prefer Volvagia. I just used the name "Barba" for one of my custom boss dragons for a long time because I thought it was a slightly different boss. But it's up to you.

[Jared]

How about a mix?
Barbalgia?
