The sheer model quality and uniqueness in your set pieces for the maps is truly astonishing. And this is coming from someone who's been a semi-onlooker to the OoT modding scene since 2010 or so. I know the road will be rough, but if you somehow manage to complete a romhack with this kind of detail, I'll for sure be playing it day one.
This looks excellent! It feels legitimately made, the textures all fit and the nooks and crannies really add a sense of adventure that I feel the original Hyrule Field was severely lacking (but they learned their lesson for MM, I feel).
This is... Some of the best stuff I've ever seen in the modding scene! MAN this looks official! So pretty. Even the desert area looks very unique and not just a typical desert, but more like a dry salt flat or something. If you make a rom hack, it will be the prettiest one I've seen.
This is like one of those pseudo nightmares you have about a place you been to before but it looks different than what you remember and it unnerves you until you wake up in a cold sweat wondering why did your brain make some weird mishmash of a memory you have.
I've only just come across these videos and I'm so curious as to what the backstories are going to be for these areas. Can't wait to see this project finished!
This looks sick, I can't wait to play it! If I could make one suggestion though? I think the darkness of the grass texture makes link pop out less, one key aspect in game/environment design is facilitating the salience of the hero assets (the literal hero in this case). The actual contrast of the grass texture also brings a lot of attention for something that should be essentially invisible. The theming, modelling, and atmosphere of this area is absolutely gorgeous though and I'm keen to see how this all turns out
something about the grass texture kept making me think this was like a condensed version of Hyrule Field😆 that transition to the desert area was real neat though. edit: looking at your previous maps and seeing the descriptions, i think these maps could use some slight extra flourish. they all look good conceptually, but look a little dry. granted, you have stated in the previous uploads that you are experimenting with the tools you have so just getting it working in the game would be the main goal. that being said, you obviously dont need to change a thing. this is your creation, do what you want and have fun with it.😎 i just like looking at what people make with these tools and end up stating how i feel when seeing them.
I swear i dreamt of a similar place recently, though in my dream there was a white fortress in the middle of the field, on elevated ground with a small moat around it
We need more maps and mods like this, i wish I could make a rom hack where I completely modify the dungeons and main map, but i lack a PC and rom hacking knowledge
Seeing things like this evoke that same sense of wonder that came over me the very first time I explored Hyrule. It’s like a piece of me exists in these colourful, nostalgic, geometric worlds. That being said, to this day I have yet to try a rom hack or anything Zelda 64 that’s custom made like this. I’m aware of some bigger ones like The Sealed Temple. Besides that one, can you recommend me some essential Zelda rom hacks to play and how to play them? Great job btw and thank you!
Oh man. This is giving major as mask vibes. After playing ocarina of time and seeing a new n64 installment in a GamePro magazine. You want to know more and explore!
Eweron is almost an anagram/reversal of "nowhere" like in Troll 2, the town is called Erehwon and Sward means field/grassy plain; this being equivalent to Hyrule Field.
It needs a giant taco bell in the middle
And a Swiss Chalet in the distance!
Spirit Halloween take over that tower
Add a 12 floor parking lot
This is what Hyrule Field looks like when I have a fever and spend the entire day in bed playing OoT and I end up having a fever dream about it.

When will you propose to him?
No matter how many remasters of this game they put out, the polygons will never age.
Polygons are fine, textures are not.
The absolute size of this hub is very impressive yet even more impressive is how every area has something going on

It's like when one dreams of a film that you have seen a lot of times and feels the same in esence, but it's different in spectacle

I disagree. The grass is fine.
Absolutely loving all the custom OoT content I'm seeing lately from the community.
Great work!
This looks incredible, dude! I certainly wanted to go exploring around there. :D
Does my heart good to see someone doable in Zelda Oot making. And this a pretty decent looking field. Can't wait to see more

These maps look *amazing.*
Hope we'll be able to play them somehow in the future.
My favorite part is the gaping hill with the river underneath

really high quality work. fantastic!
I'd love to see your workflow for creating these maps.
I like all of the locations on this one. :D

Extremely impressive
This is incredibly dope

Thanks :) The Missing Link is a good one if you haven't played that one
Looks really good!
I'm dying to know what is ahead of that rocky valley.
The Ashlands perhaps? 🤔
It's just California
Looke legit, really well done!
It's like a whole new game..
this is awesome!
Cool. Keep up the good work.

Looks amazing! How many triangles does the 3D model have?
This area has just above 1900 tris
@@ColonelPugsly Thanks! It's really optimized 👌
looks nice!
how did you imagine the name “eweron sward”?
it sounds like something from the hobbit or something.
Eweron is almost an anagram/reversal of "nowhere" like in Troll 2, the town is called Erehwon and Sward means field/grassy plain; this being equivalent to Hyrule Field.
that desert area!
I wish i could do the same as you, probs to you good sir, love this content
Are you making a full game? This looks awesome, and way more interesting than OoT's Field haha
Thats the goal, I'm hopeful that I can complete it one day but I still have a lot to learn about OOT modding
@@ColonelPugsly I will SO play your rom hack!
@@ColonelPugsly You should team up with Kaze if he's up for it
Awesome.
Holy f
I really need to know, in order to do a map, everything is code or just exist a kind of map editor where anyone can edit a map?
No code involved, if you look up "SharpOcarina tutorial" on TH-cam you there is a video series there that walks you through all the basics :)
Amazing
Imagine a Walmart here
Your modelling style reminds me a bit of Xenoblade.
Man this the first time I seen a fan field in the oot. It blows the vanilla map out the water. What other fields, towns ect will you put in.
Will you turn all this into a rom hack, I'm curious.
I hope to someday :)
@@ColonelPugsly ayyyy, that would be cool tbh
🍞
How are these maps made?
For these maps I am using the method shown in this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/yJS83VECD9U/w-d-xo.html
