Now, a handful of FPS games have been made...what would be realy neat is a third person with link...what do you guys think?

Yeah im sure it would only be a 15 minute job because it sounds so easy.

...

Even though such a game would be cool, it would be near impossible to make if you want a full 3D Zelda style world.

I think classic GB style Zelda is good enough atm.

Let's first attempt to break the Zelda curse before we go 3D. (Is 3D even possible with the amount of memory given on a calc??)

20 chapters?

it could be possible (hey I wanted to make this one!)

The amount of memory has nothing (well, not much) to do with 3D. The whole mantra of "more video memory is good" is ONLY for textures. You can do a simple raycaster with very little memory. There *are* simple 3D demos already out there. Granted, you can't get much detail on the calculator, so really there isn't much point.

no, a 3D zelda would probably be just link s head at the bottom of the screen and as you turn, so does everyting else (like a downward angled FPS) and one level grey IS enough detail to work decently (at least if it was using 8X8/ 16X16 sprites, each with four directions and all...basicaly Link's awakening sprites that scale and draw via ray casting)

First of all, texturing a large portion of the screen is halfway to hell. Second, determining what to render is beyond hell. Zelda games play in pretty "organic" environments, so 3D is not an option on the calc. Stick to tilemaps, they can be pretty

Why do people always want to use link's awakening whenever it comes to zelda on the calc? ARGH I hate that game

Why? I like it. Granted, it's the only one I own, let alone play through, but it's pretty easy to port that over to the calculator.

I don't like the links awaking either it just....doesn't make sense.....

Link's Awakening is okay but I prefer Link to the Past

Well although i have never played LA, i can probably gather what the ending is going to be

hey about zelda in grayscale. why can't it be fast try the demo on www.prgmerz.tk it is VERY fast on my calc and if it's so fast why can't zelda be?

because Zelda require a quite large amount of CPU time to handle attacks, enemy attacks, magic, enemies themself and many othe rthings, which slow down the game a lot.

that would explain most of it but still you should be able to go medium speed...
