Hello everyone, yeah that's my first time I'm posting my project here so I can have new feedback compared to other forums. And knowing that here there are 'professional' makers.
Well pardon me if you don't clearly understand, but I'm French and I'm trying as hard as I can do to write in correct English without translator.Okay, so, here's my game I'm working on since 2011, called The Legend of Zelda : Eternal Struggle. This project was on every Zelda Engine imaginable for RPG Maker XP. And now I'm using the Project Zelda Engine powered with XAS ABS 3.91 Hero Edition.
First of all, let me thank some person that helped me in this project : - SilentResident, Baffou, ChakanEvil, MaximusMaxy, NightRunner, Jon Bon : Project Zelda Engine Staff

~~Introduction~~The Legend of Zelda : Eternal Struggle was, first a little project to determine my skills at RPG Maker and game making in general.
It turned drastically in a huge and ambitious project back in 2011, when 1 night, I was talking with a friend that told me his idea about how he would see a fan game about Zelda.
It is, for me a big tribute to the Zelda series, as the game took most of all Zelda in 1 game for the moment.
I'm not going to hide it, but the development of the game is very frustrating, as it is for every maker I guess. So that's why sometimes it took times for me to update. But I really hope that this project would interest some players. Zelda fan or not.
For this game, I'm really concerned and focusing in Gameplay part. Because a game isn't great for the graphics, it is great for the gameplay and the environment.
~~Story~~At the dawn of their 12th anniversary, all young boy, receive the Hero's Tunic, made by their best friend. It was Link's Birthday, and he received a Hero Tunic from Byrna, his best friend. Everything was calm and peaceful. Until Link's Uncle, Talon tell Link about his bad feelings he has earlier. Next morning, Link goes to help the farmer of Timoria's Village, and finish his day by seeing Byrna at the Water Source.
Next day, Link have to fight monsters that appeared last night. Talon was right. Link have to find a sword to fight all of these monsters. And next morning, Byrna got kidnapped, Vaati send Link to the Forbidden Jail and kill Talon. The quest for finding Byrna begin.
But surprise ... Zelda got kidnapped by Ganondorf after Link recover all 3 Sacred Crystals.
Before that, Zelda tells you that before finding Byrna, you have to be accepted by the 3 goddess by recovering all 8 medallions. And restore the Sacred Blade : The Eternal Sword to ban Vaati and Ganondorf once and for all, and that was the reason they kidnapped Byrna.
~~Characters~~ Who doesn't know Zelda Characters ?
Link : The main hero of the game, and of Zelda Series in general. His goal is to go into dungeon, beat bosses, and recover peace by facing the evil.
Vaati : One of the villain of the game
