I want to thank every one for your kind support, with out it I doubt I would have gotten as far as I did, seriously, thank you all.
Right now I plan on finishing up the 8th dungeon in one mega post, followed by a short update with the egg, and download for all the model files, and a small thank you gift for every one who has been following this little adventure.
After that I'm going to take a break for a month or so. Fix up some issues with my social life, get some sorely needed exercise in, and do a lot of planning. Got a game idea that I think I can actually pull off, so I'll be saving up some funds so I can hire people to help me out with that, I might put up a donation button to help fund the thing but I would rather pay out of my own pocket ; ).
See you guys in a bit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Are you planning to do the Oracle games sometime after Awakening?
A.
Short answer, No.
Long answer, I would love to but there are just too many problems involved with making them that I don't want to attempt to solve.
1. The Overworld(s)
One of the biggest problems is the Overworlds. There are seven (7) of them! Labrynna Present, Labrynna Past, Holodrum Spring, Holodrum Summer, Holodrum Fall, Holodrum Winter, and Subrosia. Look how long it took me to make one overworld, then multiply that by 7! And then theres the fact that I would have to cut up each area of Holodrum just so I can have peices of each season visible at the same time.
Possible Sollution: I would need a much bigger team of modelers and programmers.
2. The Linked game.
I have no idea how the password system works.
Possible Sollution: Find out how the password system works.
3. The Caves.
While working on Link's Awakening, I have the benefit of being able to use this super awesome map which includeds all the dungeons and caves, I just click on an entrance on the overworld and it takes me to the interior. I don't have that with OoA/S, I have maps of the overworlds and the dungeons, but nothing on the caves.
Possible Sollution: Find a way to rip all the caves and interiors from both games.
Q.
When will the game be released?
A.
Hopefully sometime late 09 - early 010, but I don't have a good track record with ETA's

Good luck with your future game maker career
Again, good luck with stuff, and see you :V
So it's done? Wow, I thought we still had months more of modeling ahead of us.
Well, I hope someone can make the engine. I'm unfortunately programming illiterate, so it'll have to be somebody else.
So, once the dungeons are complete, you'll put up the models for download and from there someone else can complete the game?
Yes, I'm going to finish up the dungeons then release all the models.
Hey you're one cool dude, and this was a fantastic project you were working on, I loved being able to participate in some sorta contest, it was the only one I ever did. I look forward to seeing this thing in action whoever finishes it, as well as your future projects, thank you for being MithosKool.
Woo! I'm so excited!! I've been following this for ages now, can't wait to see everything finished! I'm going to a game design school, maybe I'll find some programmers there willing to help? I'll try, anyway!
This was one of the few games I ever really enjoyed playing on the game boy. To see what you've done with it so far has been incredible and really inspiring. You've got awesome ambition and I wish you the best in whatever project you work on next.
Thanks for having people along for the ride on this one.
hi there!
i actually discovered your blog and project today, and i must say that this is a great idea... in fact, i've been hoping since i played oot for someone good enough to do a 3d link's awakening! and looking at it as it is right now, i have to reckon the massive work and the cool rendering of it :)
So as a fan of LA, i thank you ^^
good luck in keeping up the good work ;)
P.S. i apologize for any mistake, i'm french :P
I've been following since Key Cavern or something. Good luck Mithosk! can't wait for the avatars/sprites. Whatever you wanna call those little guys that move.
To sum it all up, < a > < b > < i > I'm really excited!!
