Links got a new look!
And it looks good! The graphic engine for this is amazing. No doubt you spent weeks on this. The only thing that kindof bugged me was it wasnt link. Or at least didn't looked like em. Still owned though.
Reviews for "LoZ - The Final Link"
LeviFolds responds:
it takes place in modern day - thats why link looks different - and for the record, since most people prob arent reading the 'making of' (i dont blame you tho) i rendered the models in poser then traced them frame by frame - no images were used in this animation, all flash drawn
pretty cool but...
How come they can fly
LeviFolds responds:
the flight is symbolic of power and courage which are very much alike, but at the same time like night and day
Poor fan interpretation of Zelda.
Can't spell Ganon right.
Can't get Triforce parts in right spot.
The characters looked nothing like Zelda characters.
Sephiroth's Theme...Final Fantasy music in Zelda?
Cliched camera work, cliched fight sequence.
Amateur at best. Use Maya if you're gonna do 3-D. Screw flash.
Sorry, this was bad. You're not a hardcore Zelda fan if you got these small things wrong. My two cents.
LeviFolds responds:
fair enough man - looks like you got the whole world figured out and kno what makes a zelda fan . way to go with that . youre the man
Eh...
That was a decent Flash, don't get me wrong. It's just that it looked a bit awkward, and it was just a fight scene, which is a bit hard to watch. The fight was intense, of course. Not to force it or anything, but you MAY want to try, for example, sprite animation for this sort of work (and I seriously stress "may," it's not necessary but it wouldn't be quite so awkward to watch.) Also, I saw Link's hair and noticed something. I know there was a wierd lighting, but the hair wasn't blond, (Blonde? Something like that.) which is Link's hair color. The story-line was decent (bottom right triangle of the Tri-force, you know what I mean) but I couldn't piece it together. And, lastly, I know this is taking place in a modern time and all, and maybe I'm just being nit-picky, but unless Link's working for Hyrule's CIA (which the story-line didn't mention), he'd probably be in street clothes. Same with Ganon. But, like I said, I'm probably just being nit-picky. Decent Flash, but needs improvement.
LeviFolds responds:
have you ever played the original loz ? links hair was brown . not to say, considering the fact that he had blonde hair since then, that black is closer to brown so its correct . all that implies is, it doesnt matter what color hair link has . it so happens i did use sprites . they were just big sprites, and they were my own creation, so, ya kno, i wasnt using someone elses artwork, which i think is better and shows more tenacity than using pre-drawn sprites . if you want a whole flash movie with decent sound and graphics, youre not gonna see it on newgrounds cause the file-size maximum upload is 5mb, which basically allows for 5 minutes of acceptable sounding animation . i suppose i could have taken the music out and it been silent except for the few thunder and sword sounds . as for the modern thing, link has a job . hes not 15 . hes a grown man, who wears a suit to work, so when he quests for the triforce, he doesnt wear a holister co sweatshirt and gap jeans . this isnt neccessarily OUR modern day, just like hyrule wasnt OUR historical world . and ganon was wearing a trench coat, which is the typical bad-guy/bad-ass outfit (ie matrix, blade, etc) .
yeah
i'm just going to be like everyone else and say i like it and tell u that i really don't like it because it's not very funny. So fix that little problem.
LeviFolds responds:
It's not supposed to be funny, so it's not a problem that needs fixing.
