The Legend of Zelda Mod
Version 1.0, Released May 14th, 2006

By Kevin8or

===========================

This mod includes the following:
} A map revealing the locations of magical Hylian equipment, hidden
accross the land.
} A save file pre-established as Link.

Basic equipment (The Kokiri outfit and the Hylian Shield) can be purchased in the Imperial City's Market District. The shield is for sale at StoneWall Sheilds, and the clothing is at Divine Elegance.

Link's Horse, Epona, is the fastest and strongest horse in all of Hyrule. She can be found at the Skingrad stables by default.

Myth tells of a mysterious sword of legendary power hidden deep within the Great Forest, seek it out!

==== Here be spoilers! ====

} The Master Sword is hidden at it's sacred shrine at Shadeleaf Copse,
northeast of Skingrad.
} The Biggoron's Sword is high in the northern mountains, at Cloud Top.
} The Goron's Tunic, which has the ability to resist fire, is in the
fireplace at Cloud Ruler Temple.
} The Zora's Tunic, which lets the wearer breathe indefinately
underwater, is on the dock at Fort Grief, on an island in the middle
of Niben Bay.
} The Mirror Shield, which reflects damage, is being used as a tool of
worship to the daedra lord Azura, of Moon-and-Star.
} The Fierce Diety's Tunic, which is overpowered and is really just
meant to look cool, is deep inside Fort Strand, northeast of Anvil.

But you could have figured all that out by looking at the map.

===== Yarr, the spoilers be ended ======

The save file has race, birthsign and class settings appropriate to Link, and has essentially just left the Imperial Prison sewer. He already has the basic equipment from the Imperial City, and Epona. To find the Master Sword just ride into the forest and approximately follow the blue marker.

Anybody can use this stuff, they don't have to start a new game or use the included save file.

I have included Talonhoff's Horse Stay Put, since I found that my Epona kept on wandering off. (I tried initially to make her the same as the other player-owned horses, but she never appeared in the game)

A note on playstyle:
Playing Oblivion will be a slightly different experience with ZeldaMod than otherwise, simply because the player has no armor except his nearly-indestructable shield. This means that in order to avoid damage, you need to rely on blocking and not just taking a sword to the face anymore.
Also, item collection will be a little different, since there will be no point in picking up weapons other than Link's since they are powerful already.
These two things make the game more Zelda-like, since you only use 2 or 3 weapons and block all the time in those games.

===========================

Installation instructions:

} Extract the rar to your Oblivion/Data/ folder, and all the files
should place themselves in the proper directories.
} Move the Link.ess file to your
"My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Saves/" folder.
} Check both ZeldaMod 1.0 and Horse Stay Put 1.0 in your Data Files
list in the Oblivion Launcher.
} If you like Nintendo at all, buy a Wii this November!
} If you work for Nintendo, realize that this is purely a fan work
demonstrating my appreciation for all that you have brought to
the world of gaming, and please don't sue me or Bethesda, who
have nothing to do with this.

===========================

Credits:

} Original meshes are all from Oblivion itself, and copyright Bethesda.
} Most textures were done by me, by hand, in Photoshop.
} Link face is the first face that I made when I bought Oblivion.
} Some textures (Hylian Shield, map icons) are taken from the
Ocarania of Time Retexture Project. (Google it!)
} The original map is used and modified with permission from xythen's
Antiquated Map on TESSource.
} Link, and the Legend of Zelda are copyright, trademark, and all that
jazz, from Nintendo.

===========================

The future:

This is my first mod, and my way of teaching myself how to use the construction set. If there were such a thing as an Elder Scrolls Open Source licence, I would licence it as such. This means that anybody is allowed to modify it, improve it and whatever, as long as they include this original readme with their distribution, and credit me and everyone I credited in thier own readmes.

What I would like to see happen to this mod:

I am not going to work on this, because frankly I'm tired of it. What I would love to see someone else, and someone with a little more script know-how do is this:
} Fix Epona so that she is a genuine player-owned horse.
} Make more items, like the silver/gold gauntlets, and the fairy bow.
} Make a new user interface that is more zelda-like.
} Rework the health and magic systems, so that fallen enemies actually
spawn hearts, rupees and magic vials that replenish you.
} New meshes for all the stuff that I made.
} Cut grass (Technically infeasable, I know).
} An item (Staff?) that works as the ocarana, and starts spells to do
magical effects (Summon Epona, unlock doors, speed up time, make the
sun come up, cause a rainstorm, make people boogie).
} Add Link's distinctive battle cries.
} A whole intro. Something like, Zelda summons you
to the Imperial Palace, and tells you that her father and brothers
have been assassinated, so she gives you the Amulet of Kings or
something.
} The ultimate undertaking: rebuild all of Hyrule and replace Tamriel.
