@Chaoszerox - sorry man, somehow I totally missed your retextured floor you made. I like it; except for the tiling problem. If you're using photoshop, that's an easy fix. Too easy in fact. Use the "offset" filter in the "other" section of the filter menu. Just make sure to do the math and set the X and Y offset values to half each of the original (so if it's a 512 X 1024 texture, you're offset values will be 256 X 512). Then grab your Healing Brush (my personal fav) and Clone Brush to fix the seams.
Cheiftain, about Jabu-Jabu. Thanks for the shout-out there sir, but honestly it's hard as heck to tell what type of material the original mask texture would be. Just thinking about Jabu-Jabu himself, and the Zora's culture, I honestly can't imagine the original concept was for the mask to be metal. I mean, he's a huge freaking beast. And even though he may be considered totally tame, and someone really *could* get him to relax long enough to place a huge heavy piece of metal up on his face, I just can't imagine the Zora's having the inclination nor the ability to forge such a metal monstrosity. Their culture is based from water, so their metal forging skills would really be crap. Only thing I could personally imagine that mask being would be some type of heavy fabric or canvas. Zoras wouldn't have the ability to make such a huge piece of metal.
On the flip side of the coin, is the argument that Jabu Jabu's mask was forged from metal BEFORE the Zoras culture became routed. Kind of like the huge stone wall of Helm's Deep in lord of the rings (the stones used in the wall were so large, that it seemed Gods carved and placed them, rather than mortals). So honestly, you've got either way to go here.
Those are just my own random thoughts
@Death--Droid: it's obvious whomever made those textures you referenced has skill. Some of them I like, but for the vast majority of them I honestly do not. The bricks in the first pic have way too much contrast from "fire light" to normal (not sure if that makes sense). The funky red stones in the other really remind me of the old Konami "bubble thing" that attacks you in all their games from contra, to gradius, lifeforce, etc etc. It just doesn't fit.
If someone is going to re-do Gannon's Castle (or any part of the game for that matter) they really need to be here with us, and need to work on the whole section themselves with uploaded screenshots for you and all of us to comment on.
(whew), I'm done bitching for the night; sorry!
EDIT: I'm looking at the megaton hammer and bow&arrow in that first screenie in the link you posted Double D. I don't remember seeing them. The megaton hammer looks absolutely amazing, and we really need that in the pack if we can get permission from the original artist. The bow&arrow looks good too, though I can't recall if the current pack version looks like that.
