Hey Guys,
I am here probably for the same reason all of you are that making a Zelda game would be awesome. One of my primary concerns with this project is its use of Nintendo IP. It is what has stopped me in the past from ever throwing my programming skills at a Zelda remake or new game. My major concern is we're going to put a lot of time into this, start to make a really cool game, and then Nintendo will swoop in a cease and desist. If every has their heart set on going forward with a Zelda game obviously I cannot stop.
Would we be willing to take all of our Zelda passion and pour it into a similar styled/mechanics game that didn't trend on Nintendo's IP? It would give us to the ability to take the project in whatever direction we want without having to worry about being consistent with Zelda lore. Now is the time to make this decision before we commit ourselves to the Zelda path.
Any feedback would be very much welcome.
Thanks, -Lynx

I think we should stick with Zelda. Nintendo most likely won't do anything, and the Zelda feel is nice.

Yeah, sticking to Zelda would be preferred. However if Nintendo does get its panties in a bunch we could take the work we have done and make our own inspiration thingy.

Look at it like this.
PokeMMO has thousands of players and has yet to be shut down or asked to be shut down, and Pokemon rakes in a lot more dough for Nintendo than LoZ does. I think as long as you don't supply us with the ROMs (which are "illegal") you should be a-okay.
Best of luck.

I know hundreds of fan made Pokemon games that have been shut down, I've played at least 10 of them, the same alllwaaaays happens. PokeMMO will go down and I wouldn't be surprised if this did as well.
