“Sorry it took so long for me to post” It literally took you 2 months to recreate almost the entire legend of Zelda game with voxel art!!! That’s impressive!
The flute does 2 more things. it allows Link to Warp to any Underworld dungeon he has cleared. if he is facing north or west, he warps to the next dungeon. if he is facing south or east, he warps to the dungeon before the one he is at. in the Second Quest, it can unveil hidden caves, as well as the entrance to Level 6. Lastly, Digdogger is split into three smaller versions at the sound of the Recorder
11:38ish... Flute is used to disable bubble boss's shield and to fast travel across the map. Summons a lil tornado! I'm in LOVE with what you've done here, seeing one person do such great work in Unity makes me wish Nintendo would just hire you and release this. Thank you for all your effort!
@@brian93724 The tornado is also in the Legend Of Zelda. If link plays the recorder in the overworld, a tornado picks up link and takes him to a dungeon he has already completed.
Don't forget that in the second quest, the flute will reveal a secret entrance when played in two separate map tiles. The caves give you the "Heart Container or Life Potion" choice. Without the flute you can't get more than 14 hearts in second quest
This is... stunning. As a previous indie game dev and Zelda fanatic, this meant so much to me. I envy your determination and am very excited for when you bring us them DUNGEONS! (if you want to, you're awesome either way!) Subscribed and liked!
The world from the first TLoZ has always been so interesting to me, because like in BoTW it is a post apocalyptic world, except in this one Hyrule is 100% gone and the remaining hylians hide in caves from the monsters that have taken over
It still amazes me how much effort you put into these games even though Nintendo Ninjas will come after them. Great work, man. Can't wait to see what you do in the future.
The effort is unbelievable. Also, it is highly unlikely that “Nintendo Ninjas” will come after his games and shut them down, as all the efforts were by Cody and he did credit Nintendo in the video.
When you take into account that you're _remaking Zelda 1 in 3d,_ the fact that "it's been so long since your last upload" is only 2 months and 2 days ago is actually fairly impressive. Please keep this in mind.
Well, he is pretty experienced in coding, and the games he makes are pretty simple, soooo. (I don’t mean to be that guy who ruins the comment btw, but just saying.
@@shiftless215 I am also a programmer and I can tell you that when I say that I don’t know something I mean I’m still figuring it out I think you are taking the words a bit to seriously. As a programmer I don’t see anything wrong with how he coded anything in this video everything seems to be working fine or is it the fact that he had troubles that makes you say this, you know that everybody has to take a few tries to get things right when coding.
When he apologised for taking a while, I expected to see that the previous video was released last year. 2 months ago is _not_ a long time between videos when _this_ is what was happening in that time.
This looks amazing! Truly a work of art! By the way, you mentioned the only purpose you knew of for the flute was to open the entrance to level 7. It also served to warp link between dungeon entrances. It's not really a necessary mechanic, but figured I'd just throw that in there. I'm dumbfounded by the amount of detail that went into all this! It looks amazing, and it is obvious that it's a labor of love. Very cool!
Wow, this is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam!!! Content, pacing, you talk fast but clear, just really great job. It would be so cool to be able to play this! Absolutely great job on everything with this. I love when my son watches stuff like this, rather than just a game play through. A little education and gets him thinking about how stuff works and the effort that goes into something. Thank you so much for putting this out there!
Every kid from the 90s always wanted to see what this game would be like as if it were sorta like real life or 3D I know we all have wondered this and you just made our dreams come true!!! This is amazing!!!!!!!
The Flute does more than just drain the water to enter the seventh dungeon. It allows you to warp to any dungeon you have completed and it weakens digdogger.
I still don't know what level of craziness you need to have to wake up one day and say : "What if I remade the whole overworld with every enemies / objects / textures / relief of TLOZ in 3D ?".
Even if it’s not the same engine, as someone getting started with Blender, your videos give me the inspiration to just go and create whatever it is I want. Amazing content keep it up ❤️

Nope, Nintendo will simply re-release the OG version with a new 16:9 ratio, upres the textures, and then sell it for 60 bucks.... and it will the same for Zelda 1, 2, and 3... and sell it for 60 bucks and call it a "remastered" edition... fucking Nintendo
Real talk though, Nintendo is sitting on a gold mine if they put in just a little more effort, but Zelda hasn't sold well enough... maybe one day... 10 years from now...
Great video. The flute (recorder) travels Link to the entrances of levels via a tornado and is used to turn the Digdogger into two small versions that can be hurt in levels 5 and 7.
@jonward-uj9yq flute also makes the dragon shoot more projectiles and in the newer releases of the game it will kill the Pols Voice just how yelling into the famicoms microphones used to because of their "sensitive" hearing 😏
Along with clearing that body of water, the recorder item is used in some dungeons. Also I believe using the recorder item in over-world locations that are not that body of water will result in a "whirlwind" coming across the screen and moving Link to the entrance of any dungeon that has already cleared. Apparently which dungeon entrance Link is taken to will depend on which direction Link is facing when the recorder item is used.
Someone did something like this a while back, it had a fixed camera but was a 1:1 (as far as I could tell) voxel recreation and you could play it in a browser. It didn't take long for it to get taken down.
The flute is used to weaken the Pol's Voice Enemy and to summon a whirlwind that takes you to any dungeon entrance that you have already conquered. Excellent Job! I can't believe how close you are to completing the full game.

He could release Portal 3 and Sonic but he won't. I wonder why. And before you go "copyright", Sonic has 2 EXPOS dedicated to fan works. And there are many Source mods out there so why he can't release those is a mystery, and, of course, he won't listen to my criticism. I understand why he won't release the Nintendo fangames, Nintendo is notorious when it comes to fangames and rom hacks, taking down 9-year-long projects, really anything.
@@luginess0 if he doesn’t want to release it, he doesn’t have to release it. I wouldn’t call him selfish, though. It’s his choice to make the game public and not ours
well he not really "modeling" everything he's get the 3D models online and sometime slightly alters them with a few exceptions (Edit: I made this comment over a year ago and I've realized since then that I was wrong, my confusion came from when he would take models from online in other videos and the fact that he's not really modeling but rather using voxel, which is practically 3D pixel art. To anyone who continues to reply to this comment, I will not respond, as you're "beating on a dead horse".)
Heh seeing Mario like that just makes me immediately think of the excellent and often overlooked "Super Paper Mario" on Nintendo Wii. Instead of a turn based RPG it was an action RPG that played like a side scroller "Metroidvania". The unique gimmick of the game is being able to "flip" from 2d side scrolling to a sort of 3d perspective. This made for some truly great creative gameplay. I absolutely love that game and i wish more ppl were aware of it.
You did more for Zelda's 35th anniversary than Nintendo did for it's own franchise. Edit: You still did more for Zelda's 35th Annivarsary this year after watching the Nintendo Direct! Good god Nintendo! Show some love to your other franchises other than Mario when it's their turn for christ's sake.
The amount of attention to detail and the completeness of this project is nothing short of amazing. You rebuilt an entire game years ago it took an entire team to do. Great work and highly entertaining watch down memory lane. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
*Fun fact:* The _Legend of Zelda_ was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's "explorations" as a young boy in the hillsides, forests, and caves surrounding his childhood home in Sonobe, Japan where he ventured into forests with secluded lakes, caves, and rural villages.
Now we need duck hunt. edit: Cody is the only doing stuff for legend of Zelda’s 35 anniversary because Nintendo decided to neglect it. edit 2: thanks for 80 likes
the whistle does 3 main things . It opens a dungeon, it makes digdogger easier to kill and it summons a whirlwind that pick up link In single frame of fire and warps him to different dungeons based on what direction link faces when at a dungeon entrance. There is a fourth sword model . If you have the wooden sword when you get the red bracelet, it's palate changes. Cool idea over all
@@CodyCantEatThis im sure u were already told by someone. the recorder(flute) allows link to quick travel via tornado to a dungeon he has already beaten. and there is a mathematical equation to one of the 4 facings when u use it. it also shrinks the giant eye boss in a dungeon. as a huge zelda fan, this is kick ass!! i was hyped when nintendo did the 3ds remake of a few titles of zelda. absolute joy that i had from watching your video. keep up the great work.
@@RaptorZX3 oh yes I forgot how dumb Nintendo is. Can’t lie they got good games but are so so dumb in business for example almost all of their games are 60$ yes they are good but not this expensive. The game prices should at least be 30-40$ this seems like good pricing to me. And their copyright problem is nightmarish, if you were old you would know that a fan of Metroid tried to remaster the game with better graphics. And the poor man got copyright striked for remaking a game that Was a bit bad. Sorry if this was too long, too boring
Anyone can learn to program, all you have to do is think logically, and learn the programming language. In the programming language of C, declaring a variable (a thing that stores a number) is as simple as “int a = 5;”. This basically means: Integer (int/number) “a” is now the value 5. Programming was made to be as easy as possible, if it was as hard as you think it is, your average joe wouldn’t even be able to learn it (because they would think that it’s impossible). So try programming, and try to learn it with confidence.
This is so charming, even though I never played Zelda, maybe it’s about the choppy animation that only has 3 frames, he should really do a full playthrough of this game
If this guy made a 3D version of a game nobody knows about then he wouldn’t get the amount of views and subs that he’s getting. He’s getting payed through views and subs, which could actually make him serious money if he plays his cards right.
Flute also cause a cyclone that teleports link if he gets in the whirlwind to one of the random completed dungeons. "According to the wiki page for the "warp whistle" (also called the Recorder), its primary use is to uncover the entrance to the 7th dungeon, but will also take you to the entrances of completed dungeons. It will not take you to the entrance of the ninth dungeon."
That's why I canceled my complete conversion mod of NWN1 into Zelda 1 many years ago. After spending hundreds of hours writing custom scripting to get NWN enemies to behave like a retro 8 bit game, I realized that it was just going to get removed from the NWN vault anyways if I uploaded it.
Anti-Consumer is not the right term. I get what you meant, but branding is everything to corporations. They LOVE Consumers, they hate COMPETITORS. its legal distinction, but that's how they have to look at it. Anything hsing their IP must be given attention, and or action. The best way to avoid this is by researching and using the right ways to communicate your fan work/art online. Creative Commons is a good start and searching fair use laws and parody laws will help also. CYA - cover your @$$. peace
Every video project you make is so entertaining and inspiring! I'm not even super into nostalgia and remakes, but your takes on old games are refreshing and fun to look at on a game-dev perspective. Great job!
This is amazing! You're Truly talented! I look forward to future videos of you recreating stuff in 3d. Although, I feel your talent is going to get noticed super quick, and I imagine some crazy good job offers are on their way. Which you totally deserve!
The flute, or as it's called in the game, the recorder, actually has another purpose. Aside from revealing the entrance to level 7, it can also warp link to different previously completed dungeons.
11:35 - What?? No... The flute is literally the warp whistle that inspired the same item in Super Mario Bros 3; it summons a whirlwind that teleports you to the entrance of each dungeon you've visited. It's surreal to see someone who was probably too young to have played this game as a kid talk about it now without knowing the stuff that was just common knowledge back then.
This brings me back so many memories !!! I was 6 years old when I played Zelda snd loved it !!! If you were my son and had showed me that you made this, I would had giving you anything for two simple reasons ! The first one is essy because you re-created a masterpiece so I would be so impressed and proud ! The second reason is because you would had touched my childhood memories which is very hard to re-remember this vividly !!! Thank you for this young man !!!
Or put it on a flash card and accidentally dropped it while out and someone randomly found it. Like, accidentally dropped it on a friend, who later accidentally dropped it on their friend, and some 6 friends later that person accidentally drops the card in to a computer and the files just accidentally drops themself in to something like, I don't know, a torrent, maybe, and on many different torrent site with very many torrent trackers on it and then it's just out there, accidentally.

He could publish it for free, but he is probably just being careful. Even though it's an old property Nintendo could argue he is making money from their property and that's all that matters.
You've probably been told this before, but a lot of these levels are already drawn out via tile maps. I highly recommend creating a level parser to read the tile maps so that you can save a lot of unnecessary ctrl+c & ctrl+v work, as well as free up time to allow you to focus on the fun stuff like AI and boss behavior. As a fun bonus side effect, it will also open up the path to allowing users to see their own custom maps generated in your game!
@Holden Mcgroine We are talking about different things now. Any company can claim ownership and take legal action out of 'mere resemblance' if they own the IP rights. And YES, if game companies really wanted to they could force take downs on Twitch as well (obviously this would be a REALLY bad idea for business, but it's technically a legal right). What I am talking about is just parsing levels from 2D data. With a proper parser he doesn't need to copy and paste things repeatedly (like he explained he was already doing in the video). This would also allow him to easily 'reskin' his models and maintain level layouts without having to re-work as much.
It's amazing that I know stuff that you don't know how to do, and you did stuff that I don't know how to do. Like I don't know how to use Unity, or how to artistically create the voxel renditions of everything. But then you did weird stuff like copying and pasting every bush by hand, rather than writing a program to extract the bush information for you. I would have approached it a way less labor intensive way. But I also would have given up early or quit before I started. Great job btw!
This is the coolest rendition of Zelda 1 ever! I have a suggestion though, could you perhaps add some towering peaks to the Death mountain range to add to the environment. It will also look similar to the start-up screen and the concept art.
And if they don't pay you to be a dev, you can allways try to get a job as a pen tester lol. (dropping random usbs somewhere an employee can find like a table or parking lot in hopes of them plugging it into a company computer is one common way to try to penetrate security).
The "bit trip" track that plays in these videos is driving me nuts, because that main melody is taken from something and I can't place what it is, except something that burned into my head when I was younger.
At least i think it's bit shift, based on the list of another video, but it played again at the end of this one so now I'm not sure the tracks are listed in order. Anyway it plays twice in this video and is playing at the very end.
It is, indeed impressive... However, he uses tools that aren't useful in actual game design. Super Voxel World is way to limited, so those skills won't translate into job experience.
NES Zelda works so well in this kind of 3D! You did such a great job creating this! I know you might not be able to release this, but do you think Nintendo would accept this if you were to approach them with it? Lots of Zelda fans would love a 3D pixelated version and you've already done so much of the work that Nintendo would be silly to pass it up.
I find the Japanese game studios tend to be very insular and if the idea doesn't come from in house from a senior designer they aren't interested. Personally Zelda and Mario franchises for me are always very safe games for existing demographics and as a result never really entice me to play them. The latest Pokemon game is a good example. Having said that this is a very loving remake of this game and I agree it would be awesome to see something like this get released in the Nintendo arcade on Switch
Isn't this in the realm of an emulated game that's been massively changed from the original? like the black edition of Mario Kart back in the day... Hard to monetize, but certainly enjoyable to the masses... release it on a pen name? Either way, thanks for the video.
This is an excellent remake into 3D, staying very true to the original. I'd suggest you also make a realistic version too. For example, make the trees look like real trees, but don't clone them over and over. Make each tree look different, maybe by rotating each tree 90 degrees on its vertical axis. The cycle will repeat every 4th tree, but I doubt anyone will notice. And make barriers taller so we can't see over to another area. I tried to turn the map view of Zelda 2 into something realistic 10 years ago, but my computer couldn't handle it. Each block was a very large space so a whole village would still occupy only 1 block. And I wasn't going to use the same enemy encounter as the map world, they'd become rendered as I approached like GTA.
I’ve been waiting for this and boy. I would sell my soul to play this rendition of this game. It’s unfortunate that you can’t release it because I would buy it in a heartbeat. But still, it looks amazing! And you know, I think I might try doing some of my own voxel art. It probably won’t be any good but I bet it will be fun.
Something just like this was made back in 2016 known as the zelda 30 year tribute, and it was playable up until the first or second dungeon or something. Unfortunately it was taken down by Nintendo, as usual.
Absolutely fascinating to see ones dedication to a project like this one.. spending so much time on (re)building a world that unluckely noone beside the creator can enter.. awesome to see your work, thanks a lot!
HOLY, SANTA CLAUS BALLZ...! Now if we could just get someone to make a new console that will play all these homebrews and remakes.. Like an actual gaming system. Fantastic job on this reimagining of an ole classic.
I do not understand how you compressed making the entire overworld of a classic game in 3d into 15 minutes, seriously good job dude, on the game and the vid
This is quite impressive. I love the concept of recreating classic 2d games in voxel. I would love to play this, but of course, it would have to include the obvious purpose of the flute to warp around to all the dungeons, haha.
Actually the flute also has the cool mechanic of making a tornado take Link to the entrance of one of the dungeons he's already done, besides draining the water at Level 7 entrance
“Sorry it took so long for me to post”
It literally took you 2 months to recreate almost the entire legend of Zelda game with voxel art!!! That’s impressive!
Bruh, true.
ya, don't be hard on yourself that's a lot of work even for you.

I understand why he won't release the Nintendo fangames, Nintendo is notorious when it comes to fangames and rom hacks, taking down 9-year-long projects, really anything.

"I dont know much about 3D modelling"
*remakes zelda in 3D*
Wtf
well he not really "modeling" everything he's get the 3D models online and sometime slightly alters them with a few exceptions (Edit: I made this comment over a year ago and I've realized since then that I was wrong, my confusion came from when he would take models from online in other videos and the fact that he's not really modeling but rather using voxel, which is practically 3D pixel art. To anyone who continues to reply to this comment, I will not respond, as you're "beating on a dead horse".)
@@mastercookie37 in this video he do the by itself
@@spookyleo2589 note how i said "with a few exceptions"
He's using a voxel program. Basically like using lego or playing minecraft. It's not 3D modeling as its done for animated movies or most video games.
Heh seeing Mario like that just makes me immediately think of the excellent and often overlooked "Super Paper Mario" on Nintendo Wii. Instead of a turn based RPG it was an action RPG that played like a side scroller "Metroidvania". The unique gimmick of the game is being able to "flip" from 2d side scrolling to a sort of 3d perspective. This made for some truly great creative gameplay. I absolutely love that game and i wish more ppl were aware of it.
Imagine putting this much effort into a game and not being allowed to release it
Nice experience and portofolio though
he should just release it for free on a torrent site...

You did more for Zelda's 35th anniversary than Nintendo did for it's own franchise.

Good god Nintendo! Show some love to your other franchises other than Mario when it's their turn for christ's sake.
I just laughed out loud in real life
This is beautiful! Absolutely nostalgic! Thank you for making this.
The amount of attention to detail and the completeness of this project is nothing short of amazing. You rebuilt an entire game years ago it took an entire team to do. Great work and highly entertaining watch down memory lane. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
*Fun fact:* The _Legend of Zelda_ was inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's "explorations" as a young boy in the hillsides, forests, and caves surrounding his childhood home in Sonobe, Japan where he ventured into forests with secluded lakes, caves, and rural villages.
Very impressive!
The flute has another purpose as well-it generates a tornado on the overworld that quick-warps you to dungeon entrances.
This is amazing. Zelda was the first game I ever got. My 4th Christmas. It holds a special place in my heart. Great work.

Anyone can learn to program, all you have to do is think logically, and learn the programming language. In the programming language of C, declaring a variable (a thing that stores a number) is as simple as “int a = 5;”. This basically means: Integer (int/number) “a” is now the value 5. Programming was made to be as easy as possible, if it was as hard as you think it is, your average joe wouldn’t even be able to learn it (because they would think that it’s impossible). So try programming, and try to learn it with confidence.
Start with a course named cs50 and do the exercises after completing it u can start learning your prefered languange using tutorial

Flute also cause a cyclone that teleports link if he gets in the whirlwind to one of the random completed dungeons. "According to the wiki page for the "warp whistle" (also called the Recorder), its primary use is to uncover the entrance to the 7th dungeon, but will also take you to the entrances of completed dungeons. It will not take you to the entrance of the ninth dungeon."
Also it is required to defeat one of the bosses
The fact that Nintendo is so anticonsumer that they'll fight tooth and nail to keep this from the light of day is a criminal shame...
That's why I canceled my complete conversion mod of NWN1 into Zelda 1 many years ago. After spending hundreds of hours writing custom scripting to get NWN enemies to behave like a retro 8 bit game, I realized that it was just going to get removed from the NWN vault anyways if I uploaded it.

Anti-Consumer is not the right term. I get what you meant, but branding is everything to corporations. They LOVE Consumers, they hate COMPETITORS. its legal distinction, but that's how they have to look at it. Anything hsing their IP must be given attention, and or action. The best way to avoid this is by researching and using the right ways to communicate your fan work/art online. Creative Commons is a good start and searching fair use laws and parody laws will help also. CYA - cover your @$$. peace

He could publish it for free, but he is probably just being careful. Even though it's an old property Nintendo could argue he is making money from their property and that's all that matters.
You've probably been told this before, but a lot of these levels are already drawn out via tile maps.
I highly recommend creating a level parser to read the tile maps so that you can save a lot of unnecessary ctrl+c & ctrl+v work, as well as free up time to allow you to focus on the fun stuff like AI and boss behavior.
As a fun bonus side effect, it will also open up the path to allowing users to see their own custom maps generated in your game!
@Holden Mcgroine We are talking about different things now. Any company can claim ownership and take legal action out of 'mere resemblance' if they own the IP rights. And YES, if game companies really wanted to they could force take downs on Twitch as well (obviously this would be a REALLY bad idea for business, but it's technically a legal right).
What I am talking about is just parsing levels from 2D data. With a proper parser he doesn't need to copy and paste things repeatedly (like he explained he was already doing in the video). This would also allow him to easily 'reskin' his models and maintain level layouts without having to re-work as much.
It's amazing that I know stuff that you don't know how to do, and you did stuff that I don't know how to do. Like I don't know how to use Unity, or how to artistically create the voxel renditions of everything. But then you did weird stuff like copying and pasting every bush by hand, rather than writing a program to extract the bush information for you. I would have approached it a way less labor intensive way. But I also would have given up early or quit before I started. Great job btw!

The "bit trip" track that plays in these videos is driving me nuts, because that main melody is taken from something and I can't place what it is, except something that burned into my head when I was younger.

NES Zelda works so well in this kind of 3D! You did such a great job creating this! I know you might not be able to release this, but do you think Nintendo would accept this if you were to approach them with it? Lots of Zelda fans would love a 3D pixelated version and you've already done so much of the work that Nintendo would be silly to pass it up.
if the past is any indication, Nintendo is silly so they might just send a cease and desist letter
Nintendo keeps their characters to themselves.
I wouldn't be surprised if the game didn't get accepted.
It's just a low chance.
I find the Japanese game studios tend to be very insular and if the idea doesn't come from in house from a senior designer they aren't interested. Personally Zelda and Mario franchises for me are always very safe games for existing demographics and as a result never really entice me to play them. The latest Pokemon game is a good example. Having said that this is a very loving remake of this game and I agree it would be awesome to see something like this get released in the Nintendo arcade on Switch
You clearly overestimate Nintendo
Isn't this in the realm of an emulated game that's been massively changed from the original? like the black edition of Mario Kart back in the day... Hard to monetize, but certainly enjoyable to the masses... release it on a pen name? Either way, thanks for the video.
This is an excellent remake into 3D, staying very true to the original. I'd suggest you also make a realistic version too. For example, make the trees look like real trees, but don't clone them over and over. Make each tree look different, maybe by rotating each tree 90 degrees on its vertical axis. The cycle will repeat every 4th tree, but I doubt anyone will notice. And make barriers taller so we can't see over to another area.
I tried to turn the map view of Zelda 2 into something realistic 10 years ago, but my computer couldn't handle it. Each block was a very large space so a whole village would still occupy only 1 block. And I wasn't going to use the same enemy encounter as the map world, they'd become rendered as I approached like GTA.
I’ve been waiting for this and boy. I would sell my soul to play this rendition of this game. It’s unfortunate that you can’t release it because I would buy it in a heartbeat. But still, it looks amazing!
And you know, I think I might try doing some of my own voxel art. It probably won’t be any good but I bet it will be fun.
Something just like this was made back in 2016 known as the zelda 30 year tribute, and it was playable up until the first or second dungeon or something. Unfortunately it was taken down by Nintendo, as usual.
When he realizes that the flute/whistle has so many functions...
The one feature many people don't know about is it can restore your sword immediately if bubbles hit you. You don't have to wait for it to come back.
Absolutely fascinating to see ones dedication to a project like this one.. spending so much time on (re)building a world that unluckely noone beside the creator can enter.. awesome to see your work, thanks a lot!
