"In a realm beyond sight,
The sky shines gold not blue,
There, the Triforce's might
Makes mortal dreams come true."



Before life began, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the Goddess of Power, Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the Goddess of Courage.

Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farore’s rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law.

These three great goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the golden sacred Triforce.

The Triforce was sealed away in a sacred realm hidden from Hyrule. Legends say the Triforce had the power to bestow upon its owner three titles that gave the owner great powers. They were: "The Forger of Strength", "The Keeper of Knowledge", and "The Juror of Courage".

Though many people searched for the Triforce and the entrance to the Sacred Realm, none found it. Except one man from the desert, who's lust for power was incredible. That man's name was Ganondorf, and he was the king of the Gerudo. Ganondorf found the entrance to the Sacred Realm hidden behind an impenetrable door in the Temple of Time. The door was open by a child from the forest with intentions of stopping Ganondorf, but with the door open, Ganondorf acquired the Triforce, and with his new found power, begun to drive Hyrule into a new age of chaos...

Looks awesome. Though I fear for your project's safety from Nintentdo

Despite you saying you haven't violated any copyrighted material or trademarks... uh... Legend of Zelda is a registered trademark. If you're calling it a Legend of Zelda fanbase, that'd definitely qualify as violating it. By setting it in the OOT world, you also violate copyright.

But if you have your heart set on it, I'd say keep going for it, but keep it quiet, very quiet. Worst you can get is a cease and desist letter, I seriously doubt they'd sue or anything. I've seen too many projects that I've loved be shut down. Hope you guys make it.

Nice job. And if you do get a cease and desist letter, just change a few things and bada bang bada boom! You got yourself a copyright proof game.

Kreator

Thanks. Spainion is coding our engine, working along side us. He is working from the basis of his Arkland online engine.

Lol I already noted the 4 playable races in the first topic. xD

And regarding copyright and trademarks- We are using a complete minimum, while still maintaining the LoZ Fan-base aspect. We are using none of their graphics/code etc. We are using no trademarked names like Zelda, Legend of Zelda or Ocarina of time. But obviously ,we are using their idea, including place names and monster names.

Thanks for support guys.

Updated first post.
