Information
Sacred Talion is a pretty monumental project. It is both a quest and a tileset. And I guess a bunch of related scripts that are meant to merge the two.
Work on the actual quest content won't start until the tileset is done and set up to be worked with. I am 'almost' done with the tileset, but the last touches require a lot of time, testing, and thoroughness.

This is a highly ambitious quest that has been in development for many years. I am fully committed to completing it, as I have been working on it for too long to abandon it with any remaining sanity. 
The story is standard Zelda fare for the most part, though there is a lot of lore and history behind it. Most of the actual story will be relegated to secrets. The only thing the game will directly give you is where to go next if you want to unlock more of the game. Otherwise, it's just save Zelda and beat Ganon.
The game is structured into four chapters like so:
Chapter 1: Meet the important characters and establish the plot. This part is a mix of gameplay styles. Most places have limited access as the story and items are linked.
Chapter 2: Get the first Triforce.This chapter is mostly linear. You take a long tour of Hyrule with several one-way events, and collect some important items.
Chapter 3: Get the Master Sword and second Triforce. This is an open-world gameplay chapter with some direction. You are told where to go, but now that much of Hyrule is open to you, you'll want to go see what you can do now.
Chapter 4: Get the third Triforce and defeat Ganon. This is a totally open-world chapter. You are given very few hints on how to proceed, but the whole game is open to you, so you can dig around in some ancient ruins and make yourself more powerful for the upcoming fight. There are several bonus dungeons to access.
Overall, there are 9 main dungeons, 11 side dungeons, 12 towns, and 19 field locations planned to explore.
Cast summary (age):
Link (15) - Raised in Lalua village after being found on a ship wreck caused by a "Great Calamity" -- the eruption of Death Mountain and destruction of Kakariko.
Tika (?) - A naive fairy with a heart of gold and an inability to be tactful. She's looking for something.
Zelda (16) - A mature and solemn princess with prophetic abilities and a comfortable mastery of authority. Always ready to do what's necessary.
Ganondorf (40) - A vicious sorcerer and thief-king. Sees himself as a force of nature, and feels no need to justify himself or his brutality to anyone.
Ambria (88) - An ageless and proud woman. (She appears to be in her 20's.) As a half-dream child, she shares Zelda's prophetic powers, but can't feel a sense of who is good or bad. Who will she fight for?
Marthin (58) - A legendary hero. A brave and passionate person, he's fought in many battles, and is said to have defeated Ganondorf in his last stand, defending the Triforce from evil. No one has seen him since.
Vasha (39) - Marthin's chief strategist. Spends his days lamenting the costs of war and trying to teach those lessons that need not be learned twice.
Here's the current credit list. (I've bastardized a lot of people's work, and much of it probably isn't reconizable, but here's what I've got written down.)

Radien - DoR & SD3 tiles. A few other major things like HCPs and Hatless Link.
