A Link to the Past style Ocarina of Time by JDavis

[AshuraZro]

I'm liking the idea behind this project alot. If your going to retexture a game, you might as well go big with the style, am I right? I've got a lot of free time comming up in about 2 weeks (finished high school) and a very active interest in screwing around with images and creating stuff, so I'm probably going to spend a little bit of time playing around with things and see if I can help contribute to this. And yes your quite right about the pink hair, Kerber2k.

Yeah same here I am too liking this idea ! Now... if you we could figure out how to do Link...

 

[bloodyzelda]

Maybe beta shots could help? The first Link was based on ALTTP's Link. Brown hair, brown sleeves, the shield, etc.

There's a LOT of beta shots on this site Hope this will help.

WHOA! That Link is SO COOL! This game seems so much better and more FAITHFUL than the real n64 game.

Offtopic: Actually I think Child Link looks better in one of the last Betas than it does on the final build of OoT:

Also if you guys look at more videos... it seems like the physics and animation on the hat were better than the final ones

 

[bloodyzelda]

I've heard the videos were created apart from the game and weren't actually made with the N64. For example, Link's shadow in a video is WAY too realistic while in the game it was just a plain circle (now it looks like two dots) it's probably the same thing for the hat. But I might be wrong.

BTW, that project is very interesting, although I never really played ALTTP... keep up the nice work!

His hair isn't that brown it's very light browny yellow. But I think that would be the best design.

 

[Unusual_Rex]

If someone will get me all of Links textures (Old Links) I'll hi-res them into ALTTP style.

 

[JDavis]

Unfortunately, "a bit sidetracked" escalated into "very sidetracked" and now the spring semester has started, so I don't know how much time I'll be able to spend on the project.

As for Link, I just haven't gotten to him, partly because I was unable to locate some of his textures (his hair in particular, which I do fully plan to make LttP pink).

 

[Vanit]

There ya go. The texture itself is just a pure pink placeholder. Feel free to change it to something else.

now we know why link hadn't got pink hair in the N64 version :evil:

 

[Vanit]

Well I tried taking the highres hair out of Federelli's pack, making it grayscale, changing it back to RBG mode and putting a pink translucent layer over the top and you get this effect. Ofcourse I won't be giving you this texture because it was based on someone else's work.

 

[Unusual_Rex]

Hey Vanit if you have the time do you think you could rip all of Links textures for me?

 

[Vanit]

Truth be told I got the filenames from Federelli's pack and then put my own stuff in.

 

[Unusual_Rex]

Oh... okay. Cause I can't seem to rip them all.

 

[Typify]

Ohmygod that pink hair is melting my brains. That is a crime against nature, it should not be inserted into this pack >_<

 

[jessman(reborn)]

I heard that the pink hair was originally a mistake and that no one seemed to notice until the product, heh. You're right. It looks pretty bad, but I guess giving him brown hair wouldn't be "A Link to the Past" style. I really think brown's the way to go, but no one wants to hear my opinion...heh...

 

[bloodyzelda]

I also think the pink hair looks weird. It doesn't really suit OOT's Link. I think I'd use brown hair too...

 

[Agozer]

For the sake of not pissing off a lot of players, please, keep the hair it's original OoT color... Even if it's LttP-style.

Pink hair just ins't right, no matter how original it would be. Especially on someone like Link. Eww.

Not a mistake simply a fad that occured in Japan at the time think of it as Nintendos attempt to make
Link hip to youth around japan. I think charecters from BS zelda had pink hair too if I recall.
