    As the title states, I've may attempt to reconstruct the Majora's Mask in 2D. I know a Majora's Mask 2D project is "supposedly" already in the works by someone else, but I just though, heck why not beat him to the punch. I will probably attempt to make it in Game Maker. It's my first time using it, but I'll figure things out. right now I'm working on sprites. I have no idea how long that may take with everything else that needs working on in my life. But I think I can do this. After the sprites I plan to do the levels first. I downloaded a strategy guide online that gives me detailed top down views of the map. so I'm pretty much set on that.

    If anyone knows where I can find some sprites I'd very much appreciate it if they let me know. At the moment my biggest challenge here is making the sprites. I'm not very keen on the idea of having to make them all. So any help here and I'll be very grateful.

    Also, if anyone knows of a way for me to take a look at the code for the game, I'd like to know. That would help a great bunch. I am a decent programmer, but not a fabulous one. so a look at their code would help.

    I thought Ocarina of time 2D was the one in the works.

    And just a word of warning, Game maker can make your exe a RAM whore when it compiles it. So I would recommend you looking into ways of keeping minimal memory usage(Such as externally loading the sound files).

    Oot 2D was in the works, but half way through, the guy working on it decided to call it quits and to avoid the backlash from the fans that had been patiently waiting, he faked his death. eventually people realized that he faked it, and then everyone got pissed.

    He was 15 and went by the name Dampe online. Me, I'm nearly 21 and I'm Majoring in Game Design. So something like this would look great for my portfolio.

    again, if anyone knows where I can locate sprites, I'd be grateful if you let me know.

    btw, thanks for the tip
