Finally, the long awaited N64 classic The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time 2D fan remake is progressing. A SomethingAwful.com forum member created a topic with new info about the game, and has posted the following:
Daniel Barras, an old friend of mine, has announced that Release Candidate 1 of OoT2D will be released soon. He’s waiting on his laptop to be airmailed to him (and he probably needs to put a couple finishing touches on it).
The game is basically the 2D translation of Ocarina of Time for N64. It will include everything from the original game, and i BELEIVE he was intentionally coding in the glitches found in 1.0 gold cart, but i’m unsure if this will still be a feature. It will also include a special dungeon and 3 extra items (i think it’s armor, boots, and another sword. The only thing i can say for sure is the armor).
I’ve played a quick beta of the 2D remake, and I must say, it’s pretty fun. You can view a handful of screenshots and information here.

2This isn’t really the same kind of copyright infrinement as a ROM, this was made from scratch. It will be interesting to see what action, if any, that Nintendo will take on this.

3I cant imagine Nintendo doing anything about this, why should they. Even if they wanted to, I’m not sure they would be able to pull it through. It’s not illegal to do fanmade stuff as long as you dont earn any money on it

4Nintendo will most likely bring this down. They’re a corporation, and they won’t allow anyone to use Zelda/Mario etc for any purpose.
