LOZ - Quest of Link - Image 1


It's been a long time coming, but that's not without reason. While Zion had teased us with a trailer for his Legend of Zelda - Quest of Link homebrew game, a lot of us have been anticipating this RPG. Due to some unforeseen circumstances (i.e. brickage) on his side of development, he wasn't able to finish coding the game. That doesn't mean no more release though.

Zion's kind enough to keep his end of the bargain by releasing an early alpha version of his game - a demo, actually. And until he can get his bricked PSP repaired, all we have right now is this demo.

His game has reached a whole new level; much more now than what we've seen in his previous Linkens Quest homebrew. And to think, this is just the demo. He was actually planning to include a lot more stuff into it, but due to the brickage... well, we can just hope he can start working on this again pretty soon.

Controls:
  • [] (Hold) = Attack
  • [] + Direction Button = Shield
  • X = Interact

sorry about what happened to you over at dcemu zion, i would of never expected that site to be turned in to a flame war, anyways i think your game is great and can really be something, too bad your psp bricked and i hope you can get a new one to finish the game, one question, does the door open ? lol just kidding, good work :D

 » Seems promising

This could definitely turn into a game to be reckoned with.
Since your PSP bricked, I recommend you open the code to others who will help your continue work on it.

Wtf are you guys talking about this game is great.
One of the highest quality homebrew games I've seen.

Keep doing what your doing man, you have a lot of people who like this, but only the idiots who don't like it care to post. I hope you get your PSP fixed and continue working on this project you've got a great thing going already.

Is this game that bad?! Give this guy some credit at least. Hes coding homebrew while wat r u doing. Sitting back, relaxing, and flaming this guy for creating homebrew?! Show some respect. W/o ppl that make homebrew for the PSP, the PSP wouldnt be wat it is today. So plz stop flaming.

 » Homebrew Not Homeborrow

I would have to agree that this is not classified as true homebrew as it is not completely original. I applaud the effort and time taken, but stealing registered characters is still stealing.

I've tested this out, and I can tell you that this is a really good game that everyone who plays zelda games should try. If you don't try it, please don't flame here, as I will be forced to find where you live, kill you, skin you and sell your organs on Ebay.

 » A game with nothing to play?

There is nothing to play for. No monster, only have 3 rooms, 2 npc to talk to. The gameplay is zero. I give it 1/10.

hey @$$Holes shut your trap.
All the sprites were made by him and his team, all the graphics and everything, the only copy right material is the background in the main menu and the name "Zelda" besides what do you care about copyright laws and stuff when your pirating PSP games.

   by Jdun (Unregistered) - 2007-02-05
 » Geez...

Come on... I think this "homebrew" game cannot be that bad... even though it uses someone else's graphics, whatever, this offers new possibilities for PSP if you don't like that, don't look at this article and go read something else...stop posting crap...

 » Reason for all the flames

The reason why Zion gets all the flames and very few other dev's do is because of Zion's personality and nature. He seeks out the drama in the scene and never fails to add his two cents. Then he acts all high and mighty as if he's better than others. He talks about how great his own accomplishments are and blames others for his shortcoming. When all else fails, he calls for his lap dog to do his flaming for him (splodger, you know who you are). If he were just a nice guy and contributed to the scene without all the drama, no one would flame him. Unfortunately, he belittles others without a second thought and when they fight back he abuses his powers (which interestingly enough seem to have been stripped recently) or cries to the mods for protection. He can't avoid the drama because he's too much a part of it. You reap what you sow.

IAWTC

I wouldn't have a problem with his use of the Link artwork and so on if he didn't go on to say, practically in the same breath, "and don't steal my ideas". That and the fact that he shamelessly blows his own trumpet in pretty much every post he makes.

"I bricked my PSP, it's all Dark_Alex's fault, and I'm working on this BRILLIANT AWESOME SUPREME homebrew that's better than anything you've ever experienced so please everyone buy me a new PSP"

You know, if you're that good, let your work speak for itself.

 » You simply can't stand anything but praise

What most of those above said was a bit harsh, but you really can't stand to get anything but praise can you? First off, you beg people to send you psps, and when you get TWO FREE PSPs (second one hasn't arrived yet though) the first thing you do is brick one. Yes, it is entirely your fault that you bricked it, you forgot to go into 1.5 kernel mode instead of 2.71 while you performed the update, it is nobodies fault but your own.

Not only that but in the original newspost at DCEmu, you begged QJ to not post this because you hated them so. Of course after you weren't warmly received there, so now you've just flopped sides completely.

Continuing your disgrace with this release, you beg nobody to steal "your ideas". This is a 4-room barely interactive non-game whose, name, gameplay, characters, story, and art are based entirely on a commercial game (and some of the art is even directly from commercial LoZs) and you have the audacity to tell people not to steal 'your' ideas?!

The biggest problem I had with this, is that it wasn't a release intended to give people something usefull that they could have fun with, it was just a way to get a post in the news to vent all your current issues with the scene: you're pissed off that you broke a PSP that was donated to you, you're pissed off that there was some problem over here with you (and now over at DCEmu), and you're pissed that all your friends and collaboraters over at ZionMax used bits of your LUA scripts in their own stuff.

Disgraceful.

 » FACK ALL YOU FLAMERS !!!

Fack all you pseudo-intellectual flamers. You don't even know what the fack your talking about...
Half you fackers are from DCEmu, but too scared to post your real name - COWARDS :(
I've taken *****s with higher IQ's than half of the losers in this thread :D

FACTS:
1) This is the best homebrew ever. If you think you can do something better, get your d!ck out of your hand, and code it.

2) Zion is a great guy. Why don't have of the allegations about him have links to show proof? YOU GUYS ARE THE DRAMA QUEENS

3) Zion never flamed DarK_Alex... He just sounded disappointed that he got a brick... But it's not like he flamed. STOP exaggerating...

4) This is exactly why QJ sucks... Letting cowards hide behind unregistered comments...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
5) This is also why I will never share any of my work here again. ;)


You ***** Facks are killing the PASP homebrew scene. Why don't you just buy commercial games? For they are not just given to your greedy little a.sses... And the Devs could give a piss what all you ungratful little ba$tards think. :)


Oh, one more thing: Zion requested if this was hosted here, that comments be disabled. Thanks for repecting his wishes QJ. Your getting as bad as the a$$holes at PS3nfo....

 » "too scared to post your real name"

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? I actually posted my real name in my first comment, and have now expanded it to include my surname.

Other than that, please learn to speak without profanity if you want to be taken seriously.

this dude knows what he ison about. half of you *****ers are from DCEMU but too afraid to post your usernames. Shame on you. That is why DCEMU is a pile of *****, just like this place too. ***** this dump and ***** all of you for nearly pushing another coder out of the scene.
You have been responsible for StrmmNmm, you have been responisble for Yoshi, now your on the verge of pushing zion out. you are a pile of wanker kiddie boys who doesnt have an ounce of respect, you *****s cant code for *****, you dont know the hard work, you dont know ***** ALL about this guy and what he goes through in his life. You are all *****ing trolls.

1) How is it the best homebrew ever? There is no gameplay, all you can do is walk between 3 rooms and talk to 2 NPCs. I suggest you actually play it.

2) & 3) Here: http://tinyurl.com/2yqx2h
He blamed D_A for bricking his PSP.

4) Says the guy behind an unregistered username

5) Cry me a river.

6) He changed his mind in the first post as it was edited out later.


   Re: tuddy (Unregistered) - 2007-02-05
 » ...misread context.

You've took question 1 in a wrong context. He probably means this has the POTENTIAL to be the best homebrew ever.
   by The Truth (Unregistered) - 2007-02-05
 » My Rebuttal...

@ ANON-

1)It was never finished. It's just what he finished so far... I suggest you play it bud. Unfinished, it is still more fun than most finished brew.

2 & 3) All he said was "thanks" Yes it was sarcastic, and uncalled for. But it's not like he crossed the line and said something terrible. Then He even retracted the statement (see my rebut #6 for more details on that)

4) I always post here unregistered. And that's because I don't consider myself a member of the PSP Updates community. Most of the people here are unbelievably disrespectful. (Like Anon for instance) I only post here when you fackers need to be set straight...

5)Cry me a river? I don't have to cry anything. I will enjoy the creations I work so hard on for my PSP. It's dumb asses like you and most of the other QJ brats that will miss out...


6) Like I said, he made a small (somewhat sarcastic) remark. Big deal. Is anybody perfect? I don't think so...
But I don't hold it against him. It's not like he said anything terrible or unforgivable. And he even retracted the statement. He was having a bad day. He cleared it up like a man. And you have no life, so your still complaining like a b!tch...




   Re: Anon (Unregistered) - 2007-02-05

1) I played, I even decompiled the code to take a look at it. There was nothing ground breaking or anything to suggest what will be added in the final game. You also have an odd sense of fun. It looks good, it is nicely presentated but there is no game in this demo to play.
