lukeskywalker1 Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Originally posted by Seph Guys don't do it behind their backs, I tried the same with capcom and they sent me a warning that if I didn't get rid of the file I would be sued. thats what im afraid of.......no one wants to be sued, and if they sue they will win because they are trademarks......this isnt right.... nova_wolf i bet ur right that they send the same email to everyone who asks that, there was this guy on the web somewhere, who said he tried asking about the guy who made the zelda music and they said they didnt have any info on him, but they were happy that he was enthusiasitc about the dude.... that sounds kind of like what they wrote..... Message(#6851-000108-2736\1082736) what is this????? sounds like they do send the same email to everyone....oh man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kstar__2 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 luke, think creative, all you have to do is change the names and they won't be able to sue you;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 yeah but it wont be zelda, i guess we could just make a game from scratch (original idea, new characters, new models, new enemies) but not as many people would download it as they would zelda.....

Seph Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 that's right. make new chericters new name. and they can't say you copied thier Legend of Zelda;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I got it - whe could do a version where by its a descsendant of Link, say... oh... about 200 years? A female descendant. New royal family - a prince in charge. And have disciples of the long time defeated Ganondorf raising all kinds of hell - in particular, him ultimately! That way, any appearnaces Link/Zelda/Ganondorf make will all be in cutscenes only and merely as characters in flash backs. Link could be our characters guardian advising from time to time... Can defeat the cult JUST as they are raising him, so we see him get sucked back in. Then we can ace off against the head honcho, himself a descednat of Ganondorf (dont ask, we'll figure that bit later... ) Sound a plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 it sounds good but its the characters that are copyrighted and the name "Zelda" thats the problem. if we just put link in for a second it will be violating copyright laws, we could go with everything, but we just cant use link, zelda or ganondorf, we would need new characters and a new name.
