It's for a quest that's going to end up being a mix between LttP, Z1, and BotW. More non-linear like Z1 and BotW, but a similar game flow to LttP / OoT.

The map is heavily inspired by BotW, but only because it had a topographical map that I could photoshop down to some very useful lines. And water.

See? https://drive.google...ew?usp=drivesdk

I'm just hoping to make a good adventure game. I'm not departing too heavily from what you'd expect from a Zelda game in terms of content, locations, themes, items, etc. But hopefully it's a good blend of things.

Anyway, the maps aren't done. Obviously. But I'm really proud of where it is right now.

Oh you were expecting Amy Rose 3 or Legend of Link DX? Nah sorry, this is something else entirely that will be released quite shortly

Your general outlines show a strong start, and the screens you've added detail to look fairly solid so far. If all screens are consistently up to that par, you'll have some very nice looking maps. I do hope you're going to upgrade all that grass to the 2x2 tiles when you've finalized the designs though.

Also what's with those stray rocks across the grid? Markers?

It reminds me of the entrance to Eastern Palace in LttP. That was the scene that made me love huge entrances all those years ago, so this one looks really fun too.

Nice mix of familiar and fresh.

May want to use CSet 4 on the top of that leftmost ladder though.

No I think everybody's past that point by now

Thanks! Yes it's real low on details right now save for a few specific spots where the gameplay mechanics need attention. I really wanted to emphasize verticality with Moosh's Cliffs scripts. I want to be able to get as much crap busy work done before really settling in to finalize screens. I think it'll help me out a lot to be able to actively walk through the entire quest without in its most basic form, then work at the smaller scale.

Non-Linearity is rough to plan well, but I am proud of how it's going so far!

And yes, just marking out screen corners with the 2x2 rocks. Trying to figure out how little I can get away with for the field. I'm not actually that worried about the other two areas.

[Anthus]

Reflectionist, I gotta admit, that's a huge map, and I can see how you derived it from BotW's overworld. Obviously it is not finished, so I won't comment on the current emptiness, but my only concern with such a huge map in a 2D game engine like ZC is that, well, it's a lot of space. Not that I'm doubting you, but you'll have to jam a lot of stuff in there to make it interesting to explore.

 

Now, here are some really old, shameless "hey, me too!" maps I made like four years ago, and can't remember if I posted them in here or not. These were from Link's Hangover, and are the only two fully playable dungeons that exist.. That was, until I screwed up the desert area, and started changing graphics for like no reason. The desert one was particularly fun to design, cause it makes heavy use of using the hookshot to maneuver across various sand pits, and has lots of shifting floors, which is what the off center tiles are, but you can't tell cause it is still. It was actually based off of the one dungeon quest I made that can be found in my signature. /shameless plug

I already posted this a while back on the "What did you accomplish today in ZC?" thread, but I figured I'd post it here for extra critique. This is the overworld from my current quest project compared to the original classic tileset version. Other than a perspective issue with one of the cliffs near the southwestern town, what do you guys think?

[Anthus]

^ I think it is a pretty good transition. The newfirst cliffs actually don't look half bad, and seeing as how you'd never transition between the north and south screens on the south part, there's really not much to be critiqued, and you did a decent job getting the mountains to work as well as they can.

[runaru]

I aimed to copy the original LA-style as closely as possible. (And yes, this might finally be something from me, I hope)

[Sheik]

This is the best thing and I am your biggest fan. Lot's of love!

[kurt91]

I love how it looks like just another Z1 recreation, but when you look closely, there's enough changed to totally throw off anybody who's expecting all of the same stuff from Z1. I honestly really want to play it, if only to just explore the map.

 

Wasn't the unreleased third Oracle game supposed to be a sort-of remake of Z1?

[Sheik]

Oracle of Seaons was supposed to - hence some of the familiar topography and almost all the same dungeon bosses. Oracle of Ages was supposed to be a Zelda 2 remake and the thrid Oracle game was supposed to be a third independent story.

[Norzan]

Still bummed that they didn't do that third game with Farore, specially after reading what they were planning to do with it. It was a little too ambitious for the Gameboy though, so i understand why they cancelled it.

I made this map from the Water Temple the 6th dungeon of my project quest here. 

I just started the map however.

All of these recent maps are spectacular!
