Another odd idea: The Legend of Touhou

[Runty]

I earlier thought of the oddball "Tales of Touhou" idea a few months ago, though I found out that I was probably 6th in line on the idea. I'm probably not the first one to think of this idea either, but what the heck.

LoZ: Spirit Tracks was released yesterday, and though I don't have a copy, I know that as a Zelda title it HAS to be good. This got me thinking: would a Touhou-hack on a Zelda title be a cool idea or what? Something like a hack on ALttP, or a standalone game that uses Touhou characters, but plays like a Zelda game. IMO, that'd be awesome.

I'm sure this has been attempted before, though. If a hack exists, does anyone know of it?

[Rikter]

as a Zelda title it HAS to be good.

CDI anyone?

Anyways true nostalgists would go for an "Adventure" hack but this would be cool

[Runty]

CDI anyone?

BESIDES those ones. In fact, they're not really Zelda titles; they weren't made with Miyamoto's consent (to my understanding). They're just bad rip-offs. And ever since then, no Zelda title has been released that wasn't made by Nintendo.

And no, I don't think a hack of Adventure of Link would be the best choice. That one is HARD (though it's still good).

No no no I didn't mean the adventure of Link I ment the one the only Adventure for the Atari 2600...

[Ghost/Spectre]

Lol. Reimu as a square. Lol the immense detail. and LOL the dragon looking like a duck.

[Runty]

I'd rather not have a Touhou hack of anything from the Atari era. *shudders*

A Touhou hack/remake of A Link to the Past, however, would be sweet. It'd fit the Touhou-verse as well; the real question would be what the story would be about.

I want a romhack of LTTP where you can play as Youmu.

Legend of Yuyuko!

Yup, pretty much what I had in mind. That'd be insanely fun playing as the half-ghost. Myon could take Navi's role.

YES! YES!! YES!!!

[CK Crash]

Here you go

All you need now is someone with no life to code it (not me).

[Kuma]

The "Past" could be PC-98, with Youmu not knowing anything and having to ask WTF is going on, wich would be a good way to get newer fans educated about the past of touhou

[dustyjo]

Donut Dragon?

[warpshadow]

Sorry to say I have neither the skill nor the time to help you in this endeavor but needless to say this must be made. One question though if Youmu is Link who is Gannon?

Because Zelda is Yuyuko, Ganon must obviously be Mystia.

That's a good question...

[Seian Verian]

Because Zelda is Yuyuko, Ganon must obviously be Mystia.

This. Very much this. Reach the end of the game, see Mystia, get ready to destroy her... Then Yuyuko eats her. Either the game ends right there, with everyone going "What the hell was that?" or somehow this ends up with you fighting Yuyuko... Maybe she's really, really hungry, and will eat Gensokyo if you don't stop her :V

[Aku]

The less awesome choice would be Yukari.

Mystia has the better theme.

[OkashiiKisei]

Another fine candidate for Ganon is Nue. Trident? Check. Has been sealed up for ages? Check. Is in reality a humongous monster? Check. Frequently fights you throughout the games in disguises/with clones? Triple check!

Letty is also often depicted with a trident and she's as fat as a pig.

Assuming it's going to be ALttP style, we can also start figuring out the bosses!

Lanmolas: The Prismrivers.

Moldorm: Wriggle.

Aghanim: Either orb form Nue if Nue is Ganon, or Maribel/Luize if Yukari is Ganon.

Helmasaur King: Huge frog Suwako, with her hat functioning as the mask.

Arrghus: Alice with loads of Shanghai's spinning around her.

Blind the Thief: Remilia. Expected Marisa didn't you? Remilia's probably the beter choice because of her and Blind's hatred of sunlight. When you find her, she's still small Remilia, but once you get in the sunlight room, WHAM! Huge Remilia who splitst up into bats whenever you hit her before the body regenerates.

Kholdstare: Cirno, who else?

Vitreous: If Yukari isn't Ganon, then she's Vitreous, sitting in a huge gap that spews demonic eyes.

Trinexx: Kanako.

Don't know anyone yet for Mothula (Wriggle's already Moldorm) or Armos Knights.

[Kuma]

Actually, Maybe Rinnosuke would be a better choice for Link, He can't fly or use danmaku, so he would have a need for all those tools and stuff, and his power to identify the use of any object can be used to explain why he is instantly super good with stuff he got not 2 seconds ago.

[Mounting Jaggis]

Suika and Yuugi should be Gorons

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

We just need a ALTTP rom hack featuring Marisa or Reimu... or even Youmu, since she is a swordmaster... as protagonist. Some other changes replacing the enemies such as moblins with fairies would also be welcome. And some texture redesigns in order to look more like gensokyo.

[OkashiiKisei]

Zelda isn't Zelda when there aren't any crucial collectable items (with the exception of Adventure of Link, but that one did so much different it doesn't count).

Youmu would probably use Hakurouken as starter sword, and Roukanken as the Master Sword, with Myon as shield. Tempered sword will be Yorihime's Sword, and the Golden Sword the Sword of Hisou. The Tengu Boots, Kappa's Flippers, China Gloves/Oni's Mitt and Hourai Pearl serve as substitutes for respectively the Pegasus Boots, Zora Flippers, Power Glove/Titan's Mitt and the Moon Pearl.

Dungeon items, still following the ALttP theme, would be:

Bombs - Magic Pots (the ones Marisa uses in the fighting games)
Bow - Eirin's Bow
Magic Cape - The Divine Rainment (aka Iku's Scarf)
Lantern - Shou's Lantern
Flute - ZUN's Synthesizer or Winn's Ewi
Bottle - Ibuki Gourd
Boomerang / Magic Boomerang - Elly's Scythe / Komachi's Scythe
Book of Mudora - Grimoire of Alice
Hammer - Tewi's Hammer
Bug Catching Net - Yuuka's Wriggle Catching Net
Hookshot - Alice Strings
Shovel - ......a shovel......
Magic Mirror - Kanako's Mirror
Fire Rod / Ice Rod - Laevateinn and Cirno Blade
Cane of Somaria/Byrna - Yukari Gap and Fantasy Heaven Spellcard
Bombos/Ether/Quake Medallion - Control Rod/Yama Stick/Key Stone
Magic Powder - Eirin's Shady New Drug

[Aku]

Myon as shield

I approve of your entire post. Win.

[OkashiiKisei]

And let's not forget races and characters! While, as Skye said, the Oni's would make great Goron's, there are no Gorons in ALttP. They could be the dwarves though. Nitori and the kappa's are the Zora's (with Namazu as the giant Zora in ALttP). Fairies are, well, fairies.
Rinnosuke is the shopkeep and Akyu the fortune teller! Youki is 'Link's Uncle' and Yuuka is the bug catching kid (to fit in with the whole 'Wriggle catching'). Reisen and Eirin are Maple and Syrup! The sage with the annoyingly hard and long name is Satori, and Daiyousei would obviously be Great Fairy (which means poor Daiyousei needs to be turned into a Moblin Fairy in the Dark World ). The two friendly Dark World monsters are Kisume and Yamame.

Perhaps seven of the final bosses can be the Seven Maidens? (Remilia, Kaguya, Shikieiki, Utsuho, Byakuren, Mima and Shinki)

I've had this idea for ages. Youmu even has the same kind of outfit Link has.

Damn, we've been beaten to it And I really hoped Youmu would be Link. On the other hand, Sakuya and Reisen with shades look badass.

[Runty]

Cooooooooool.

Doesn't mean that can't be the only hack. Someone could still go with a Touhou ALttP hack, and it'd be awesome.

Giant Nightmare Catfish that takes the form of the SDM residents before it becomes a catfish, just like the original (except in the original it ended with some tentacled cyclops thing).

1st: Blob ---> Rumia orb bouncing about
2nd: Agahnim ---> Patchouli
3rd: Moldorm ---> Flandre using 'And Then There Will Be None'
4rth: Ganon ---> Remilia with Gungnir
5th: Shadow ---> Sakuya chasing you down
6th: Abomination ----> Giant Cat Fish stomping around and using it's whiskers to swipe you

Ending has Sakuya smacking around Meiling to wake her up instead of the manly tear end of the original.
