A New Zelda Game Being Made By Fan: Hylian Phoenix

If this guy gets Ninty's attention, Bob is going to start killing people.

Personally Im very excited for this game. Can't wait to see how the story is.

I'm guessing intellectual property laws in Norway are a little fuzzy if Nintendo hasn't slapped a cease and desist order all over this guy.

In reference to the actual game, it looks like he put a ton of effort into that.  I wonder if the English in the game will be as bad as the trailer, that could really screw up the narrative, but then again it's Zelda.  Time to download the demo.

EDIT:  As far as I can tell you open the file with a program called Zelda Classic.

UPDATE:  Previous link was too old of a build I guess.  Now trying most recent build from here.  More to come.

 Looks cool, the English isn't very good though.

Ironically enough, now that I have this working, I don't have time to play it.

For those who want to try, first download the build at the top of the list here.  Yes, there are other places you can find it.

Extract it to its own folder using your extraction tool of choice (WinRAR).

Download the custom quest file here.  I would advise putting it in the folder you extracted Zelda Classic/ZQuest to.  It just makes things easier.

Then follow the instructions on this page for loading a custom quest, because actually loading a map in this thing is kind of bass-ackwards.

Voila!   Hope this helps somebody.  Be sure to leave some feedback if you do get a chance to play.

Yea the English here in Norway is pretty poor. Hopefully the game won't have many grammar and spelling mistakes. That would suck."

Hey guys! It's Robin here.
First off, I want to thank the topic starter for spreading the word! Thank you! :P

Now, I can actually explain myself when it comes to the bad English in the trailer: I was drunk! ( :O HORRIBLE EXCUSE!!!11)
Okay, I wasn't drunk. I had been working on the trailer all day, and it was late. I'm not the best videoeditor, so I sat til around 2 AM.
I'm actually 50% English, so I consider myself being pretty good... but everyone can make mistakes... and you know, I've been speaking Norwegian most of my life. Only a few family members speak English, so it's not like I use the language every day.

Anyways, I actually want to tell you NOT to play the demo. It's horrible... really. The version released on GameReactor is an untested version... the tested version has been expanded, and now lets you play from the intro, til the end of the dungeon in Hyrule Castle, which is Level 1... EVEN though there are two "dungeons" in the first demo... (I wouldn't call them that, really)... Either way, none of the dungeons in the first demo are level 1 or 2... they're just obstacles Link has to overcome.

Anyways, I'd like to show you guys something that you didn't get to see in the interview:

This is the forest I call "The Great Forest"... it's not the most original name in the world, but it works.

Again, thanks for spreading the word!

Since we're talking about awesome homebrew Zeldas, everyone should try the homage game Legend of Princess by Konjak.

YUU MUST DEFEAT GANNON!

Hi, all. I know Migokalle/Robin from the Zelda Classic forums. You guys should take a look on www.zeldaclassic.com and www.purezc.com , since those two sites (along with various others) are filled with Zelda fan games (they are called Quests when made in Zelda Classic) which you can play with the same program as Robin's Quest uses. I myself make games as well with Zelda Classic, but they are not Zelda themed, ironically. But let's face it, you guys should use Google more frequently, it lets you find all of these wondrous things, just like ZC (ZeldaClassic). Oh and remember you can make your own quests with the program to (you use zelda-w.exe for playing the quest and zquest-w.exe for making the quest, unless it's passworded) and if you don't understand how it works, there is a help forum with many friendly and polite (+smart and creative, great people there! I've been hanging around there for 3 1/2 years, never got bored) members who can help you out. Anyway, you should be able to find what you need now. Have fun playing and all that, be sure to mentoin it to mean when you joined a help forum, my nickname is Twilight_Knight there too, just like Robin's nickname is Migokalle there too, you'll be able to find us.
