Mithosk and his Zelda Project are back

Friday, September 4th, 2009 at 4:56pm by Will Thompson

If you remember a while back I reported on a fans 3D project for the Legend of Zelda. A year of work later, Mithosk, has released a small teaser trailer for his  Link’s Awakening 3D project.

The music was composed by Dan Vithyavuthi, who has agreed to lend his amazing talents to help out with the fan remake Link’s Awakening in 3D.

You can find the Project Blog at Mithosk blog and you can find more of Dan’s work at vithyavu-music.

What if Professor Layton was a series on the Famicom in Japan. Would we have ever seen it on American shores?

“We’re been following the Internet chatter after our La-Mulana announcement… I want to address a fan concern that has been mentioned by blog commentators and some forums. The preview trailer we released is a flash movie that was created for publicity purposes. Its speed is different from the actual speed on Wii. Don’t worry, Lemeza’s movements on the Wii are very fast! I think everyone will be pleased with the finished game. Please be patient and thank you for watching.” – Takumi Naramura, Director of La Mulana

A quick response, is a good response… right?

La-Mulana is Adventuring to WiiWare in Winter

La-Mulana is a side scrolling platformer that was released back in 2005 for the PC. The game features a mixture of ‘bit’ graphics and an interface that is inspired by MSX games. La-Mulana is one of those traditional action-adventure games that will punish the player if they make a wrong move and is very reminiscent of the Castlevania and Metroid games.

Ever wondered what it would be like to play the original Legend of Zelda while looking through the eyes of Link? What, never? Well you’re going to find out what it’s like anyway, because some guy named Radix deemed it so. He has released a version of the game in demo form that lets you walk through a dungeon attacking various enemies from the original game in first person glory. While there are some kinks, it’s still only a demo, and it is a pretty cool demo at that.
