The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Civilization

I've been working on this for some time, and now tell you a little bit of this. I have very big notes in my own computer, but I now decided to tell you the base story.

The story is set to about 50 - 100 years after Twilight Princess. It locates in Huryle, but not the Huryle we've known. It's new land, and inhabited widely. The world was fine not long ago. The fields were growing on plants, everybody could travel safely, and one could leave their door open for nights. The politics were running smoothly, and the Kingdom of Huryle seemed like it would last forever. Peace was in the world, and royal family was well, lead by the wise Princess Zelda.

But then it all went wrong.

Unknown darkness started to capture the land. He didn't attack straight, but everybody knew, something strange was happening. People got disappeared, the fields of Huryle started to abandon. One could still find a burned down house in the fields, with the stench of death rising from the windows. And on top of that, the royal family wans't good anymore. It seemed like evil magic would have captured their minds, and would now control the land. Senseless order were given, and the princess seemed to be haggard.

The ministers started to corrupt. The princess was not heard anymore, and ministers took the power into their own hands. The royal family was left to be mascot for the land, but all their power was now worn to symbolic . At those years, the land started to corupt.

Now, the the daily lives are just echoes of the past glory. Women carry daggers on their waist. Men have sword on their backs, and people don't leave the town alone anymore. If one sleeps their night in town, he can hear a distinct scream, or desperate plead for help.

But still in those times, the people still try to keep the hope up. The houses are decorated with colourful flags and emblems. The shapes of Triforce is shown in many places, and celebrations still exist. In the countryside, soe people are unaware of the danger, but the darkness has started to reach its arms even into there.

The legend is starten to awake, that somewhere in the past, there lives a forgotten tribe, which would have the power to repel evil. This race protects the ancient treasure of the past, so that one day, newborn hero could rise, and wield this weapon. This power is said to be left behind by the three goddesses themself, and being so powerful, that the one who would obtain it, could alter the tracks of the godesses themself. That's why the civilization still keeps their land sealed from the world.

Now people only have one possible thing to do. Pray for legends to be awaken.

---------------

I've thought this game as quite challenging, and quite dark. Instead of annoying pushovers, the bosses and enemies general would be actually quite challenging, and more aggressive. Instead of "Come and kill me"
enemies there would be "Defend or die" enemies. I've thought some items and quite list of characters up for this.

The characters evolve through the game. You can for example see how people start to respect Link, and how the people feel the danger. They actually say something if there's a giant yellow pyramid behind their backs. This game also involves maskes. There are few maskes, which aren't as important as in MM, but they affect the game too. Examples of the maskes are Social mask and Combat mask.

Some new items would be Lunameter, where you can keep track on your progress. You can also forge weapons and arrow heads by using different metals. There are about 10 metals to combine in the game, some more powerful than others, and some having elemental advantages. Some old items come back, and some items get altered. Floating leave is a parachute that floats down, and Hookshot is now even more versatile.

If you want more info from the plot or something like that, I can post it into there. However, my notes are on my home, and I can't post them until saturday.

Btw, you can mix potions from Aphids and Wormlings. Isn't that handy?
