I Made The Legend of Zelda but it's 3D... People seemed to really like what I did last time when I Made Super Mario Bros but it's 3D, so I decided to do the exact same thing again, but this time for the Legend of Zelda. This time I went all out because I recreated the entire overworld, including enemies and items.

“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!

ya, don't be hard on yourself that's a lot of work even for you.

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!
Note: He did not know how to make boss fights yet, also i realized, you talkin bout mario or zelda?
@@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.
Him not working for/at Nintendo, is clearly their loss.
The bubble bosses name is diggdogger
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
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.
Flute breaks the Digdogger into smaller parts but does nothing to Pols Voice. Pols Voice are vulnerable to arrows though.
I have just now noticed how advanced the legend of Zelda is, at least when you consider it’s 35 years old.
Yea never thought of that

Wow, this is one of my favorite videos on KZhead!!! 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!
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 ❤️
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.
Hi
@•madness• cool right
Daniel T? I used to be such a huge fan of you a long time ago
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.
Well as long as he doesn’t release it he’s fine. But yeah Nintendo ninjas will come for him if he tries anything to do with releasing it
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!

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.

This feels like something that would be a digital exclusive from Nintendo
There was talk of remaking all the 2D games with the same engine they used for Link's Awakening on Switch.
Timed exclusive
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...
It would exist for a month then no longer sell
This is beautiful! Absolutely nostalgic! Thank you for making this.
This is amazing. Zelda was the first game I ever got. My 4th Christmas. It holds a special place in my heart. Great work.
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 think he meant he is still figuring it out when coding you won’t know how to do everything immediately it would take a couple tries.
@@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.
Imagine making Zelda 2 which actually incorporates zelda one's map in the southeastern portion of the world.
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.
"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.
I remember when this video was new, it’s crazy how time flies.
I can't believe I hadn't seen this before, this is great! It reminds me of a video by suckerpinch called "Automatic 3Dification of Nintendo games: The glEnd() of Zelda" While this is a re-make, the other one is a re-render and uses the original game code by reading the graphics memory for which tiles are rendered and where plus bunch of other code to figure out what is the player etc. For any fans of programming and janky projects, I recommend giving it a watch.
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 ?".
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
This
Digdogger hates certain kind of sound.

11:34 The flute also teleports you between the entrances to the dungeons you've already visited
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.
Right? how did he not know that designing this?
Originally you could blow into the mic to damage it, but the NES didn't have one so they worked with what they had.
Also reveals some hidden rooms in the desert areas of the second quest.

Nintendo is too dumb, they will be coming for his ass for Cease & Desist.
@@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
Kills me that we can’t play around in this world ourselves. Wonderful looking 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

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.

the flute also ports you to different dungeons depending on the horizontal direction you are facing and it is needed to defeat a certain dungeon enemy.
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.
