Sweet!!!!!
This was the bomb. I can't see how this didn't make the front page.
Reviews for "LoZ - The Final Link"
LeviFolds responds:
well...it can still make front page if other people stop bitching about little details that I EXPLAINED TIME AND TIME AGAIN - thank you for this good review
poser
Firstly...no story (a text section never counts as a story and yours was mainly just Zelda backstory from the games anyway).
Secondly...where is it modern like you said? It didnt look modern at all, if anything i would say you just used that as an excuse to not have 'Link' in his normal clothes cuz that would obviously take some work on your part rather than simply using one of Poser's premade clothing sets. And while im on that, Poser sucks, dont use it ever again. Poser is immediately recognizable to anyone whos used it or seen something made with it and all the character movements look awkward in Poser. Either use a real program like 3dsmax or maya or just do some regular old 2d drawing.
And as for the music...ive never played any of the playstation final fantasy's either but ive seen enough FF flashes to know that the choir is saying "Sepiroth" not "Zelda Rocks". You probally shoulda looked for something outside of game music.
ps. It's 'Ganon' not 'Gannon'...That was a typo in the English version of OoT. And given that youve got him in his Hylian (not-pig monster) form he should really be called 'Ganondorf' (full name is 'Ganondorf Dragmire' for those who care).
LeviFolds responds:
i do recall refering to GANONDORF as such in the text story and i used the zelda backstory for those who arent as informed about the original stories as you are - i didnt make this just for zelda fans - and as ive told others, this battle isnt between LINK and GANNON and i will continue to spell it that way because where i used it in the story was where i was referring to OoT and since they mispelled it, i will mispell it . my fucking god, that is the STUPEDIST little detail that anyone has picked out so far - you seriously need to get a job on American Idol or something because you are more cliche when it comes to bitter trashtalking than any other review ive seen so far, so...good luck replacing simon cowell (or is it cowel?)
one minor niggle...
i didn't quite feel like i was watching a zelda flash
when you had him not wearing the green garments
and then the sephiroth theme playing in the background
LeviFolds responds:
read the description - i explained it all in there
That was good, but it was pointless.
First of all, there is no need of making such an awesome graphics looking to make a good flash, you just have to have a good plot, animation and everything would be fine. I'm not telling that this movie is stupid or senseless, but that it could be a lot better. Tweening is your friend! That was good, don't get me wrong...

im a stickler for good graphics and music - i might have let that tendancy override my best senses when it came to plot and meaning, but it looks good and for most people its entertaining

Nicely done sir. Nicely done.
It seems that you've found a great way to twist a classic into something that doesn't truly put the series to shame. And for respecting a timeless game, as such, bravo.
Strange ideas dont always work, but in this case, you've done well mixing the modern with medieval. The style of animation was also uncommon here on Newgrounds. Its something that you've used to make this submission unique in a purely graphical context, wich was as unexpected as the choice of character modeling; Why the suit? Anyway... It just worked nicely, wich realy is a rare thing.
The choice of music was also suitable for a battle of this type, some small varation would have made it all the more impressive, although at this point, it's all gravy.
You've got some talent there, flashperson.
Dont let it go to waste. And please continue submitting.
Rare indeed.
That is all.
LeviFolds responds:
much thanks my fellow flash lover - this here, people, is a quality review because he addressed the real issues and didnt nitpick over stupid details
