Zelda TOOT TW

Hi RTW fans,

Something I would really like to see if anyone is thinking of what mod to make next would be Zelda Total War for the Ocarina of time!

It would be excellent to see the mod begin right after Link has arrived at Hurule Castle and Ganon has sworn peace with Hyrule. There are several turns of peace with the Gorudos, but tension with the Gorons and Zoras. Link will not feature as a general - yet. Messages appear through out the turns about a mysterious green garbed boy appearing on death mountain, and then the Zoras domain, and with him, alliances are made between hyrule and The gorons/zoras.
Eventualy the Gerudos attack and sack Hyrule.
Obviously till this point, there would be a lot of scripting needed, but it is about to get worse

The Gerudos along with Ganons own Faction (which will be scripted to appear at this point in the game, and will consist of Skullfos and Iron Knuckles) will put Hyrule castle under seige. There will need to be a message about Zelda escaping with the Sheika, and the Sheika faction will also appear.
Now at this point, Hyrule the Gorons and the Zora will be at war with the gerudos and Ganons army, and will be aided by the small faction of the Sheika. There will be a space of 7 years that go by with few events aside from the freezing of the Zoras domain, and the draining of lake Hylia, but will give the player a chance to use stratigy to win some ground against Ganons MASIVE army, and then Link will appear! It won't matter which faction you select out of the Zora/Goron/Hyrule factions, Link will automaticly be a general for you. He will be imensly powerful, and if it is possible to script, only he can kill ganon.
Before you can attack Hyrule castle, you will need to capture the 5 outlying temlpes of Hyrule- The forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, and desert. Each will either be controlled by Gannon, or by an individual faction (the shadow temple will be the capital of the shadow faction ect)

All in all, it gives room for these main playabe factions:
Hyrule
Zora
Gorons
Gerudos
Forest Temple
Fire Temple
Water Temple
Shadow Temple
Desert Temple

And the unplayable factions would be:
Sheika
Ganons army

this is all just an idea that I am pitching to a capable modder. If you are interested I would love to help out with traits and ancillaries and other small things like that. Leave a comment of your feedback

You would have a fairly small audience for that.....not everyone has Nintendo. But, thats not to say that someone could not try this.

Thanks Achea, yes that is one problem, I'm not sure if fans of Zelda play RTW too much. I love both games!

I don't think a Zelda game would translate to Total War all that well.

Ofcourse the game types are completely different, and there would be no puzzle solving. I am looking at the story from a different angle, the struggle that Hyrule goes through during links absence will be a big theme. The Gorons were captured and imprisoned in the fire temple, but it was never showen how their race was overpowered. Hyrule town gets totaly destroyed in the space of 7 years. It would be the untold story of Hyrule. Links exploits in the temples would stillfeature as in game event notices, once temples were captured, but for the most part link would feature as a military leader. Zelda may too, as Sheik ofcourse.

I agree that most zelda games, such as Majoros mask and Twilight princess would not translate into a stratigy game, but Ocarina of time takes place in the space of atleast 7 years (with 6tpy there will be a decent amount of gameplay before Link and the main game even begins). The other reason OOT would be ideal is that Ganon takes Hyrule (which was completely at peace) completely without magic or by smashing a moon into it (as is the case with TP and MM) So there must have been some show of milatary strength to achieve this.
