ideas for new submod

[starwars90001]

in almost zelda games there important objects for which the plot is center around, or at least in most games, in htw I was thinking about adding the triforce and other magic items, these items depending on what they are can be used to help boost your faction to the top, the reason why this idea is sobmod is because these items can be game breaking or make the game harder, some items make your faction more op than it already is or makes the A.I hate you, here some ideas:

the triforce: is own by the kingdom of hyrule; can't be used by tkoh, kokiri, gorons, zora, wizzrobe, or ordona, and can only be used once.

requirements: the triforce is at the temple of time, the player can choose use it or not, if you chosen to use it your general or hero must have three factors of power, wisdom, and courage, which meant your general must have high bravely, dread, and intelligent to get the trifore otherwise it breaks into three and what ever trait your general the most will get that piece of the triforce while the others go to other random faction with heroes high in that factor of the triforce, if you attack hyrule prime and your attack fails or you wait too long the triforce will be move to one of the temples randomly, and move every 10 turns.

effects: the triforce grants almost any wish the user wants, It can: spawn you up 10 units you want without the build or tech level, respawn dead units after battle even if you lose, can make one agent that can do anything without fail such as make a diplomat get anything you want out of a faction, can wish for other factions generals and heroes but only one,can upgrade ones army to it's highest, can give you one enemy or ally city without them going to war on you, and last but not least the triforce can destroy a faction outright through many ways, first is you can wish for all of their cities to riot, turn all their land into wastelands, turn all their armies into rebels, make their economy go down the drain,make every faction declare war on them, unleash purge on them to make their population go down, or wish for stalfos to spawn around cities.

negative effects: just having the trifoce makes you a target, every faction near you or hyrule will declare on you both, they will seek what ever army has the triforce, even if just get a piece of the thing they still will come after your army and whoever has the others, it can lose you allies who will turn on you, it causes riots and other armies may go against you and go after that general who has it, once you have used the triforce all factions with strict goddess worship declare war on you, and after you make wish the triforce will scatter and over the world to random locations and settlements, this will lead to all out chaos for the thing, all factions will declare war on each other, it cause mass rioting all over the world and cities , even npcs will fight for the it, this all happens if you choose to use it, so chose wisely.


so what do you guys think, this idea came from watching hyrule historia and the zelda cannon, think it's a good idea for a submod or do you hate it.

I'm doing the ocarina of time next.

If done right it can be a very interesting and fun submod. Only with the triforce itself would be enough addition, seeing how much it would affect the campaing, but it may be a bit too much. I don´t really know much about modding so I can really tell you much about the viability of what you propose. All I can tell is that, as I said, I think is a good idea and can be something nice if well done.

I don't think its possible with the game's engine.

To show that the Triforce can grant any wish, the only reasonable approach would be to make acquiring it an alternative winning condition (you got the Triforce, you wish yourself whatever your winning conditions were, you won, congrats).

Isn't there any attribute more fitting than dread to represent power? That one kinda implies a specific use of said power (to inspire dread) whereas the Triforce should be unconcerned what its claimer uses it and the relative virtues for.

Other than that, I like the idea. I myself suggested something like this in the original thread (before we had a whole board).

hey how does the mirror of twilight work because that's how the ocarina of time will work.

[Duke Serkol]

I don't see the connection. Aren't you thinking of the door of time?

[starwars90001]

no, ocrina of time allows link to go to a temple when he plays a song for that temple, the door of time just lead to the golden land where the triforce is.

Ah, so you were thinking of teleporting around the map, I see. I thought you were going to have the Ocarina of Time act like the Twilight Mirror except for the Ancient Hylians (connecting their own little corner of the map from ancient times to the present world).
