Any suggestions from anyone are welcome whether they be story or mapping related.

Oh ok.  But I don't know anything about mapping and stuff.  Only I can do is storyline and add some idea.

No story spoilers (other than introductory information like would be found in the manual of a full game).  I can say that I'm batting around some ideas regarding Link and how to give him his sword.  I have one idea I just came up with and I think it will work really well and will give you that sense of mystery that Link's Awakening had.

What's really going on and who or what can you trust?

Aww ok.  I do want really know what kind mystery and secret.

Hmm...I agree with that.

Can I PM you for some idea for storyline?

Wowie.  When I look at the picture, my mind got hit me.  Like light blub lit on.  Since you show the past version, seem they are waiting for Link to return but he never did.   So that mean he need use Flute (Harp of Age) to travel back to time.  Also he need to find where is Malon and Tarin in the past and make successful in the present.  I feel like this might will be storyline. 

When he arrive the island, everything is changing and he need to find out how to fix the time.  Only one way he can use is find the flute.  He went to check the dream house but find out the rock is still blocking same last time he came first time.  In order to get flute, he need go to first dungeon, but in his thought.  "What if the level and boss are same as before in my dream?"   (I am not going say what is look like in level 1.)  After he get item, Power Bracelet to allow pick up the rock.  He went back to the Dream House and he get in the bed...but nothing happen.  Suddenly, the floor start open as floor door and there is stair.  Link heard the voice.  "Come and receive your needs.  Complete the challenge of dungeon."  (My small idea of level 2.) He went go down-stair and complete the level.  He have only one song he is remember that Nayru gave his first song of time travel, Tune of Echoes. 

And the rest of level require time travel or up to you.   So I hope you like idea of mine for beginning part.  You can give some support of my idea for your hack in story line.

By and large, yes, it will be much closer to what we saw in Link's Awakening, but it is at least a year prior to Link's Awakening or even the Oracle series, so some things are going to be different.  Many holes will be missing from the prairie (as you can see in the present, those have only gotten worse over the years...dang sinkholes...) and Richard will only have his villa and the pothole field will be free of plant life as it hasn't been planted yet.

Oh wow.  This might look fun.  Can't wait. 

Aw.  It ok.  I will wait or find it somewhere on website.

When I am looking at the picture on overworld map, that mean in the past version, same as normal in Link's Awakening?

Probably.  I'm going to have my brothers and some local friends alpha test, but once it gets past them, I'll release for beta testing.

That is awesome.  Keep it up for update.

Oh.  So that mean this is future of Koholint Island or Link is looking for Koholint Island and he find out that the island is completely ruined.  I can't wait to see storyline and cut-scene.  Oh by the way, can I be beta-tester?

Wait a minute.  It is that past version of Link's Awakening?  I can't wait to see this hack complete.   Good job, bro.  Look forward to complete or demo release.

It seem a year and no one can bring the link back or any update.   Anyone who have it?  Please let me know so I can play this hack.

Wow....one whole year and You didn't have time to fix the link?  What happen to your summer break, fall break, winter break, and spring break?  There are alot of time for free time.  *facepalm*   That is lame excuse for not use free time.  But you said soon finish in exam and stuff.  Well I hope you didn't forget what you said.  ^_^  Look forward to release version 3.

What took you so long for not fix the link?      I thought it your job to get the link fix.  It been nearly 2 months.

Mediafire link is broke.  Can you fix it please?  Thank.

Oh ok.  I understand.  Let me know when link get fix.

Hey what happen to link for download?  It is not working.
