	~ STORY ~
Long after settlers found Hyrule, there arose the Gerudo, and then years later, the tyrantical ruler Ganondwarf appeared,
and he used his power to create a blade of bloodshed and evil; the Nightfall blade, and he also used his power to augment a shadow;
the shadow of Link,
and with this shadow, Ganondwarf ordered the shadow to draw the Master Sword for himself, and so the shadow did,

and with his greed and ignorance, Ganondwarf was killed by the dark figure, by using the Master Sword against him, and took the Triforce of power for himself.
The dark figure then proceeded to erect a massive tower, and he also sealed away the Nightfall Blade, with the power of 7 descendants of the 7 wise men,
knowing that the Nightfall blade's power was too risky to be in the wrong hands.

The dark figure then proceeded to slowly take control of Hyrule, and corrupt it.


~ AREA STUFF ~
So, I plan to have quite a large map, and some large areas, and here is a "Pixelmap" of the area:
[TNB Pixemap Image]
You can probably guess what most areas are, some of the ones you might not be able to though:
Purple: "Corrupt" area. Much tougher enemies, water would become poision and would hurt you, trees would be either dead or the areas extremely overgrown, etc.
Light tan: Beach.
More Orange Tan: Desert.
Really Dark Green: Normally really deep forest.
Really Dark Green in the islands on the bottom of the map: Deep Jungle.

THE DUNGEONS.

So, I am planning on there being 7 main dungeons, and a few Mini dungeons/ Bonus Dungeons/ shityoucanfindandwllbetotallyworthitalsoplzrecordyourplaythroughthroughthebonus/minidungeonsthanks

I plan on the dungeons themselves to be rather non-linear, but you will probably have to complete the dungeons in a linear order, except maybe for a couple of them.
And now, the dungeons themselves.. maybe!

Forest
Goron Mines/Caves
Water
Desert
Wind
Graveyard
Lower Tower of Dark Link

Sorry, I haven't figured out all the Mini-dungeons yet.



~ Items ~
The items will be listed in a progression line, from first to last.

SWORDS:
Heavy Iron Sword - This blade is extremely heavy, requiring both hands and wears you out some just by swinging it!

Low Quality Steel Blade - This blade isn't very good, but you can swing it much quicker than the old Heavy Iron blade.
High Quality Steel Blade - You get this from a blacksmith, who charges a decent amount, but this blade does more damage, though swings a bit slower than the Low Quality Steel Blade.
Coralite Blade - This blade is completely optional, and is a bit better than the High Quality Steel blade, and you can get it much sooner than the Hyrule Knight blade, but it costs a LOT.
Hyrule Knight's Blade - This blade is, too, completely optional, but is quite powerful, and swings faster than all the previous blades and has a long range, for a sword.
The Zequesta - This Blade is quite hard to get, and s completely optional, however it swings the fastest of any blade, does as much damage as the Hyrule Knight's blade, and allows you to do a charge dash attack, rather than a spin attack. // Note to self: try to hide this, with small text, colors that blend in, etc
The Nightfall Blade - This is the final sword that you can get, and it IS mandatory to get, and it and it does much more damage than all the previous blades, swings at a normal sword speed, and also can do the Nightfall Strike; The most awesome thing you will see in ZC besides 3D effects.


SHILEDS:
One thing I should note about shields is that only 1 will be mandatory; the Mirror Shield, and also that to use shields, you have to use the assigned button for the (probably one of the EX# buttons).

Small Wooden Shield - This shield is rather weak, and has a durability, and can burn up if you touch fire while holding it. Though it is better than nothing, and is rather cheap to buy.
Re-Enforced Wooden Shield - This shield is Heavy, and slows you down a bit when holding. It has a much higher durability than the previous shield, however.
Coralite Shield - This shield can block almost anything, and has an even higher durability than the Re-Enforced Wooden Shield, though as with the Coralite Shield it costs a LOT.
Hylian Shield - This shield has infinite durability, and can block almost anything, though it must be obtained through a sidequest, as with the Hylian Knight's Sword.
Mirror Shield - I am not going to describe this. You should know what this will do.


ARMORS:
You can equip different Armor's/Tunics, but only 1 at once!

Green Tunic - You know what this does. Nothing, of course!
Blue Mail - This defends you a bit more than the Green Tunic, and allows you to stay underwater for much longer than other Armors/Tunics, however taking damage with this on uses up a bit of magic.
Red Mail - This tunic also defends you a bit more than the Green Tunic, and you can stay in extremely hot areas for longer than the Green or Blue Tunics.
Iron Chestplate - This Armor defends you much more than the Red or Blue or Green Tunics, however your time in hot areas is even less than with the normal green tunic, and you sink in water, weather or not you have Iron Boots on, and yet still, your movement is slowed down a bit with this on.
Honeyflake Armor - This Armor will protect you less than the Iron Armor but more than the Red, Blue and Green Tunics, and won't slow you down, and bees wont attack you when you have it on.


B-RANGS:
Something I plan to change about Boomerangs in my quest; they will actually fly out and around, as with some of the 3D zelda games.

Wooden Boomerang - Your standard Boomerang, it does a bit of damage however.
Magical Boomerang - This does more damage, and flies out in a helix pattern before returning.
Iron Chakram - This flies out straight, and does much more damage than the other Boomerangs, but it takes awhile to return.
Spectre Chakri - This flies out rather quickly, using up a bit of magic, and homes in on the nearest enemy.


WANDS:

Ice Amulet - This fires out a "breath" of small ice crystals that will lightly damage enemies.
Ice Wand - This will shoot out a piercing bolt of ice, using up a chunk of magic and hurting enemies decently, and also will shatter into a bunch of crystals on Impact with something solid.

Candle - You know what this does.
Fire Wand - This will shoot out a flame, which will damage enemies, and may reflect off of Mirrors.

Heny Tie's Seed - This will make vines bust up through the ground in a circle around Link, which will entangle most enemies.
Nature Wand - This will make thorn-spikes bust up through the ground, which will damage enemies that walk over them, in addition charging it up will make a more powerful version of the Heny Tie's attack, which WILL damage enemies.

Eye of the Beamos - This is an eye of a Beamos! It shoots out a piercing laser that is quite powerful.
Beamos Wand - This shoots out 3 lasers at a time, one infront of Link and the other two out from a random, general direction Link is facing. Charging this up makes a larger lazer come out that bounces off of Solid things.
