Legend of Zelda: the Font

[BenPass]

Hi everyone!

Now, let me preface this thread with a couple bits of information:

1 - I am NOT a Font Artist. This was done because I wanted this font made and didn't want to bother anyone in asking them to make it. There was one LoZ font that was made recently, but I wanted to make my own.

2 - This is NOT 100% my work. Not only have the sounds been taken from the games, but I only did the initial compiling. I then sent the font to eerockk and he got the file working for me (I had the speed too high). After a while, I sent things off to Saber_Baron and he helped me figure out how to get things set up even better and taught me how to fix some of the zero crossing issues I had. After following his advice and adding some more sounds, I sent everything off to LordBlako who did the rest of the tidying up. So, while I've compiled the sounds and done work between the others, this font would not be possible without the work of eerockk, Saber_Baron, and LordBlako. Thanks so much guys!

3 - This is set up for NEC boards. I'm currently using this as one of the fonts on Akal Esh (DXHD), and it turned out great (in my opinion). That said, a quick alteration to LSU files should enable this to work in Obsidian (I'm out of Obsidian sabers at the moment).

Now, with all that said, let me get into the fun stuff. These are sounds primarily from Ocarina of Time. There are some sounds from Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess, and some from A Link to the Past as well.

There are a total of 6 Blaster sounds, 8 Clashes, 1 Hum, 1 "Font", 1 of each Dual Phase (A and B), 1 In, 1 Out, 1 Lock, and 8 Swings. The config file is currently set so that primary blade colour is with all sliders to the max (to have a white-ish blade), light blue "blasters", red charge/"lock" and clash, and yellow dual phase.

Finally, this font will be free. I don't feel it right for me to charge for a font when so many others have helped make it a reality. I'm sure if you want to donate to the others who have helped make this work, they won't turn aside the funds haha.

Without any further ado, here are the video and dropbox links!

Sweet; Good job to you Ben, and to all the others who worked on this!

I especially like the "sword charging" on the saber lock, works really well!

[BenPass]

Thanks very much! I thought it turned out really well

I'll get a review of this up later, as well as the other Zelda font that was just released. It would seem to be a great time for Obsidian-owning Zelda fans! More to come!

[BenPass]

Thanks eerockk! I do appreciate your help and the willingness to review it!

Thanks eerockk! I do appreciate your help and the willingness to review it!

I'm glad that I could, Ben, and that there's still a use for me here in the Obsidian customs department!

[BenPass]

Haha, there will always be a use for you but again, thanks

My eyes. I can't stop crying.

[BenPass]

Haha! Thanks man! I'm glad you like it

I finally got a chance to listen to the font on a computer that will allow you tube videos (at home).

That is awesome. I love Ocarina of Time. I like how the theme song plays in the background the entire time.

The first saber that comes to mind when I heard this is the new Omen saber. I know it is a Thundercats hilt, but looking the general shape of it, and perhaps without the emblems, this font would be right at home in The Omen.

Or.....maybe The Omen will be the first in a line of non-saber sabers. Perhaps a Hero Of Time hilt is not far off....**hint, hint**

Nice work to Ben and all who made this possible.

[BenPass]

I'm so glad you liked it! As to the theme song, I just had to choose that one over the others because Link to the Past was my favourite of the series

Yes, there needs to be a Hero of Time hilt; that would appeal to me much more than Thundercats. That's me though.

I'd love to see videos of people using this
