Here goes my ideas:

*Tron (Thanks to the boomerang that can act as the primitive disc)
*Goemon (4 swords upgrade, 4 pipe (?) upgrades)
*Castlevania (same rule as Goemon, but with whips)
*New* Okami (Come to think: Sword, mirror... What more?)

If anyone is going to do any of those ideas, tell me... I'd would be glad to help! ^^

I have ideas too, here they are:
Heck, TV shows need there pride of place in ZC:

Malcom in The Middle (They could run away or something. Francis could fight Spangler lol)
Doctor Who (You never know. There was a Lexx quest)
Harry Potter (I could easily whip up a tileset for this if anybody wanted)
Lord of The Rings (That would make a GREAT quest)

And now for some actual Videogame ideas:

Mario 64 ZC (An idea I've had for ages now. Soon we can have more than 8 Triforce pieces, so it might be possible)
Legend of Zelda: Oh no the tap's too hot (You play adult Link, but you have to babysit a very young Zelda/Saria/Mido/Ruto for a very long afternoon and then they go missing and you have to find them, collecting bits of a cookie they have dropped and broken to find them)

*Goemon (4 swords upgrade, 4 pipe (?) upgrades)

I can think of much better examples than that. Play Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon for N64 and you'll notice that it is full of Zelda similarities.

• Camera = Lens of Truth/Amulet
• Chain Pipe = Hookshot
• Medal of Justice/Medal of Fire = Arrow/Silver Arrow
  (this is perfect because Goemon throws money, and the classic Bow and Arrow costs rupees to use)
• Ryo = Rupees
• Golden Fortune Doll = Heart Container
• Silver Fortune Doll = HC Piece
• Mr. Elle Fant = Map
• Mr. Arrow = Compass
• Silver Key = Key
• Diamond Key = Boss Key
• Bronze/Silver/Gold Armor = Blue/Red/Gold Rings
• Bronze/Silver/Gold Helm = Small/Magic/Mirror Shield
• Flute/Dragon = Whistle/Whirlwind
• Hammer = Hammer
• Riceball/Plum Riceball = Blue/Red Potion
• Cucumber = Bait
• Stones = Triforce Pieces
• Bazooka = Golden Arrow
• Bomb = Bomb
• Dumplings = Recovery Hearts
• Golden Dumplings = Fairy
• Kunai of Severe Cold = Boomerang

Honestly, most of these items work exactly the same way in these two games. It's perfect.
(Yes, I have thought about making this quest myself)

Malcom in The Middle (They could run away or something. Francis could fight Spangler lol)

I never heard of...

Doctor Who (You never know. There was a Lexx quest)

Same as above...

Harry Potter (I could easily whip up a tileset for this if anybody wanted)

I don't think much of it... Maybe with the next version of ZC...

Lord of The Rings (That would make a GREAT quest)

Yup, it would... But it would be a quest for each playable char

Mario 64 ZC (An idea I've had for ages now. Soon we can have more than 8 Triforce pieces, so it might be possible)

YAY! ^^ Excelent idea!

Legend of Zelda: Oh no the tap's too hot (You play adult Link, but you have to babysit a very young Zelda/Saria/Mido/Ruto for a very long afternoon and then they go missing and you have to find them, collecting bits of a cookie they have dropped and broken to find them)

Sounds stupid... ^_~...

Would you believe that I've already done that? I mean, almost exactly as you have it down. I tried to make a Goemon quest a few years ago, but nothing ever came out of it, but those items are almost exactly the same as the ones I had. Makes me want to go back and rework it... Almost

[elmind]

Well, there's always time to do so...

[Animus01]

Why do I get the feeling that this quest idea thread will turn into a Goemon quest thread? I had the same idea, myself. I wanted to recreate Mystical Ninja for the N64, but I didn't know how to recreate the Impact battles. Btw, bazooka should be the wand, though.

Anyway, before I steer this thread into a ditch or something...

• Faxanadu Remake (working on that after Trinity Worlds)
• Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (I thought about doing this for 2.11)
• WarioWare (good experience with warps and combos required for Microgames)

Let me briefly explain each:
Faxanadu - basic side-scrolling adventure, but can easily be adapted to an overhead style
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - good practice for making custom bosses. Also good for 2.11's multiple warps.
WarioWare - like I said above. It's not that hard if you know what to do. There's a WarioWare: Mega Party Game$ MIDI for the microgames. It includes the Zelda microgame tune (at multiple speeds).

I agree with you... Bazooka goes better for Wand and let's get to the main subject again.

hm... Maybe...

Never played it! ^_~;

We don't really need to wait...

WarioWare - like I said above. It's not that hard if you know what to do. There's a WarioWare: Mega Party Game$ MIDI for the microgames. It includes the Zelda microgame tune (at multiple speeds).

Wouldn't be a good idea... Trust me...

[Sharon Daniel]

Btw, bazooka should be the wand, though.

That is a good idea only because it's a seperate item from the Medal of Justice, but the Golden Arrow is actually more similar to the bazooka in function because of its range of destruction and the fact that it costs money to use.

[Old-Skool]

Crystalis: It's practically Zelda anyways, but it needs a sequel. A new Crystalis adventure would be kinda cool if done in Zelda Classic.

Startropics: See Crystalis

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: more of a novelty idea, but something similar to Megaman: Dr. Wily's revenge could be done. Would require a version of ZC with COMPLETE LINK TILE MODIFICATION though. quest story: the power coins (and most of the rangers) have been captured by Lord Zedd and Rita's henchmen, and Cyclopsis is attacking Angel Grove industrial center. Zordon still has the powerless Green Ranger coin though, and if Tommy can find another way to charge it, he can call upon it's power one more time, until he can get back his White Tiger coin. When all the power coins have been secured, The White Tiger Megazord is used for the final battle.

Gradius: again, more of a novelty, but could have some interesting effects. Imagine for once, something more like a metroidish maze rather than the typical Gradius affair. Story? 3 months ago, a planet mysteriously exploded, somewhere on the edge of the galaxy. Latis's Royal fighter jet, Lord British, was sent to investigate, but hasn't returned. Now Vic Viper has been sent to explore the surrounding ruins and find his crimson friend.

[Moresco]

I dunno, those sound alright, the most interesting being Crystalis. Though, I'd much rather see someone redo Neutopia I and II in ZC.

As for original ideas, I am thinking of making a quest where you play Zelda and save Link or something. Basic idea, just needs a decent plot and some more creative angles....otherwise it's just not worth doing. That'd be just for fun, gits and shiggles etc...

Other than that I don't have any ideas at the moment worth sharing.

[Old-Skool]

yes, thank you for reminding me of Neutopia!! another Zelda parallel that would probably do well in ZC.

as for other Zelda like games being done in ZC...

The Guardian Legend: Animus did a screenshot of Guardian Legend in ZC a little while back, but I don't know if that's actually gonna become anything.

obviously, Shmup mode probably wouldn't be in it.

Fester's Quest: Peteo has shown screenshots, and from the look of things, intends to someday actually release it.

other games that aren't necessarily Zelda-like...


Chrono Trigger: it's been way too long. We totally should have a Chrono Trigger quest by now. especially something starring Magus.

[elmind]

Well, new ideas:
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (Possible with the next ZC)
Pokémon (Possible with the next ZC)

and the best of'em all...

MORTAL KOMBAT: KONQUEST (possible with the next ZC or actual ZC with custom char+story)

[Animus01]

The Guardian Legend: Animus did a screenshot of Guardian Legend in ZC a little while back, but I don't know if that's actually gonna become anything.

It's still up in the air, but if 2.5 allows the character to get a little more versatile, I would be able to either recreate the Corridors or make something entirely new for them.

I REALLY like the Mortal Kombat idea. I'd like to see something of it.

[Sharon Daniel]

Pokémon (Possible with the next ZC)

Uhh... What exactly do you mean by "possible"? ZC's enginge can hardly emulate anything from Pokemon.
