Un gruppo di sviluppatori amatoriali è impegnato da anni nella realizzazione di una mod dedicata alla versione Nintendo 64 di The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.Con questa mod, battezzata con il nome di 3rd Quest, questo gruppo di ragazzi vuole donare una nuova avventura all’interno del mondo creato in questo storico capitolo della saga di Nintendo. Infatti, come potete vedere dal trailer posto in fondo alla news, lo stato dei lavori è molto avanzato anche se non sappiamo se e quando questa mod uscirà.
“Third Quest is an effort to overhaul The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time into a new world. We are rebuilding Hyrule as we see fit—and while this game is built within Ocarina of Time, it is disconnected through concept and story, venturing into convergent territory the series has not yet seen. We have been working on this for two years and have recently begun a creative process that has yielded the trailer.
Third Quest began when CDi-Fails contacted Spire with sketch-up work based on his Dark World concept art from the then-recently defunct Ura Project in June 2013. Spire was working with SanguinettiMods on a mod called Project Underworld and decided through the early days of collaboration with CDi-Fails to merge the efforts into one: Third Quest. And thus, CDi-Fails, SanguinettiMods, and Spire formed the Third Quest Team.
We originally worked with Sakura several times over a year and a half until she disappeared. We owe our understanding of the overworld to our time collaborating with her. Melon and Ideka joined in 2015 to round out the team and have helped in each lent their voices in concept and design.
CDi-Fails assembles the game and builds environments. Ideka creates unique and custom features through ASM coding. MelonSpeedruns has a diverse knowledgebank and assists in many capacities. SanguinettiMods compiles the game using his great wealth of technical know how. Spire is the lead artist and builds most of the visual game content.
Third Quest takes place in an original version of Hyrule that respects the history of the franchise. We have a large overworld to develop and possess a bounty of pieces from the last two years with which we hope to assemble a unique take on our beloved land.”
