URA Zelda project and all of its greatness

Hi there. Some of you may know about the concept URA zelda. Its essentially a second quest of zelda with extra dungeons, extra sidequests, and a changed storyline. Nintendo planned on releasing it for the N64DD (an add-on that allowed the N64 to run disks instead of (or in addition to) cartridges). If any of you have heard of The ancient Stone Tablets for BS zelda, Its a lot like that. However, the concept was scrapped due to the DD not selling well.

However, some people are daring to finish where Nintendo started and make an URA zelda for us to play. It's not that Master Quest thing with slightly different dungeons, we mean a new hero, entirely new dungeon layouts for old dungeons and entirely new dungeons, as well as new sidequests, and so much more. Here's the list of planned dungeons.

Young Dungeons:

• Deku Tree
• Dodongos Cavern
• JabuJabu
• Hyrule Castle
• Deepwood Shrine
• Turtlerock Cavern
• Lakebed Grotto
• Temple of Light

Adult Dungeons:

• Forest Temple
• Fire Temple
• Ice Temple
• Water Temple
• Wind Temple
• Spirit Temple
• Shadow Temple
• Tower of URA

This should be a good informative video.



And Here is some of their work







Go to youtube channel ZethN64 for more info.

Great project!!!, I hope it works on emulators (or even better, the Nintendo 64!).

EDIT: I already get the answer to my question, so I delete it.

*falls of chair*

So THAT'S why that guy wanted to talk about URA Zelda! This looks great; I'd love to see an updated version of Ocarina of Time! Hell, I'd love to see it become a lot easier for additional content to be added to LoZ games, that's a great idea!

The Market, of course, needs to be more populated. Other than that, looks great. Liking the Great Fairy redesign.

I'm looking forward to this....looks great!
I hope it's RH compliant....

I can't expect this to be a short time away, because Zeth might need to make a special 64DD emulator.

Not likely. Ura Zelda was planned for the DD, but It didn't actually end up being produced. The way Zeth is Making it, URA is going to essentially be played on an N64 emulator with more memory than an N64 Cartridge could hold.

For all those worried about needing the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, I have already investigate and i doesn't need the N64DD in any way, it's just a patch for the Master Quest Debug GameCube version of the game, and it can be run in emulators or the real Nintendo 64.

PS: And yes, it will include all the debug features.

Wow, this looks awesome! Kinda don't like how they replaced Navi's "HEY" with Tatl's ringing sound.

Also, a new hero? Huh, that sounds interesting.

The game will be in the form of a rom patch, and you can't patch it to the OOT rom. You have to patch it to the OOT Mater Quest debug rom.

I hope Zeth will finish the project. I would give him a million bucks, if I had that much money.

Hi everyone. I'm The-GCN admin sakura, the Ura Project's programmer and assembly hacker. I'd like to hopefully clear up some misconceptions and answer questions about the project, as I was linked here by one of our forum members and there seems to be some confusion.

This is mostly correct, but slightly outdated. While I can't give out the final dungeon list, it's been revised since then and will consist entirely of custom dungeons.

The debugging features will be scrapped to both add new space for custom code, and to prevent cheating. This is the same intention with our file select hack.

I'm really happy to see all the positive feedback we're getting, please feel to ask about the Ura project, I'll be here to answer questions ^^

Few questions. I might sound a little silly D:

So is he finishing something that Nintendo never finished or making this from scratch?

If so, was the original story line to this Zelda game leaked from Nintendo or is Zeth making it up?

Sorry guys, I'm just a little lost aha. But whatever it is it looks so awesome!

I can't wait for this. I've always been curious about Ura since I first heard about it. What I love about this project is that it still feels like Zelda. In fact it emphasizes the feeling that Zelda games have.

I'm not looking forward to the baseball cap though. and I wish that the girl version was incorporated in it too, but I realize that I'm asking for too much already.

Great stuff

We're making this from scratch, and it has an original plot. However we are bringing back a lot of beta elements.

Actually, putting the girl character in is something we're contemplating, you might get to see that happen

This is very cool. Even from the 4 videos here I already want to play... the Temple of Light is sick.

This looks amazing!! I can't wait to try it!

This might be a stupid question but what is an emulator and or a rom? is it something on the computer? will it be played on the computer or is there a special cartridge or something you have to have to put it on to play it on one of the systems?

Wants to play the game very badly when its done, but is seriously confused... O.o

A ROM is the Read-Only-Memory in a video game. Emulators can load ROMs and play them. To play this ROM, you will need a N64 emulator. I recommend Project64.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for changing the look of the Great Fairy!
