An interesting looking sideview project. I see a lot of new tiles. The LoZ enemies and sprites with them looks... interesting. Will the exact same graphics be in the game? Those screens look like old pictures and such, weren't there some image distortion? Or it's just because it's JPG?

[masterofpigs]

Well, I am using in this quest by only 8 color palettes in a way that appears to be an old game. And I did all the tiles manually. There is still some touches to the areas but the rest is almost playable.

[vravelo]

man...! amazing screen , beautiful design, hope you finish this some day..!
only thing I don't like is the white pig you use for your page
even those slippers black and white don't match since is a day lite?

[masterofpigs]

I love this pig!
The quest is 70% completed, the problem now is to wait out a new build of ZC.
It is fully playable, just add a few details missing as houses, plants, some objects in the background.
This game will have a continuation that will be implemented.
I hope you all enjoy!

This looks great! Can't wait to play it man! Keep up the good work!

[Alestance]

So, if this is to resemble, a little, of Sonic, whats the name of the main character? Sonink or Linic?

Does gathering all the emeralds grant the main character a Super Form?

You're a pretty good artist, if you drew all that yourself.

Wow, those are amazing! Nice work!

[masterofpigs]

Super Link in this quest? I want to do this in a future version. Or not.

but not be sad . Even after finishing the 7 areas Link can return to pick up other items that would not secret to pick up before the items without the other areas.

[Bayta]

Wow! Your screenshots look excellent! I love all the new graphics. The only place that doesn't look very good at all to me though, is Emerald Yard; What's with all the randomly placed tiles? Well anyway, I can't wait to play it! _L_ had better hurry up and release a new 2.5 build.

[masterofpigs]

Thank you, not noticed.
Now, correct.

[masterofpigs]

Sweet. Time to download!

Wait, my stupid internet security blocked it. Dang! Oh well.

[CastChaos]

I played everything through on this beta and I must say it's wonderful! Absolute perfect!

The graphics are Classic, yet completely new! The cave interior looks really old-timer with those strong black stripes and the castle in the background is like an old photo... Absolute. Perfect.

The gameplay is wonderful, too. Jumping and slashing around is really nice, the elevations match the height of the jumps and the Classic enemies get really new in this environment.

I think I found all secrets, even the red crystal, guarded by two bats. It took a few time before I realized where the boss key was. I defeated the boss some times before I finally had that key.

Only bug I saw was that the subscreen items (sword, feather) sometimes weren't selectable and they swapped around randomly. But that's a ZC bug.

Thank you for this wonderful beta!!

[masterofpigs]

Thank you for opinion.
The problem is the exchange of items of ZC but as a quest uses much the penalty is possible to choose the item you want.
I am making several drawings depicting the history of the quest. I hope you enjoy.
