Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1746 Joined: 17 Jul 2009     | I saw that a couple of months ago on Machinima.com. That A+ is definitely earned. Also, just adding the apostrophe at the end of boss is the correct grammar. No more effort is necessary. It took them this long to post it on Youtube? |

I'm not going to say yes and I'm not going to say no. I'm just going to say that I could beat OoT in a single sitting, with Biggoron's Sword before I even beat the Forest Temple. Just sayin'. |

This. The 'open treasure chest' jingle is what made all those hours trudging through the dungeons so rewarding in the end. I might go so far as to say that the jingle was more rewarding than the item you actually received. ^^ As has been mentioned, a well-deserved A+. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go cry in the corner because I don't have an N64 anymore. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1739 Joined: 17 Apr 2009     | .... no... just no, it´s the worst crossover i have ever seing i´m sorry, i dont see the appeal in putting sounds of a memorable game into Halo 3 and say it "nailed" the feel of a clasic, it doesnt in my oppinion. but nice effort after all. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 915 Joined: 20 Oct 2008   | don't see anyone hating on halo right now, that was pretty cool I never played any zelda so I'm a little out of context but still, cool. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3567 Joined: 13 Aug 2008   | Imperfect though this may be, it was an interesting (and nostalgic) little video. I especially got a kick out of the Start menu at the end. |

Nostalgic, if anything. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 56 Joined: 19 Nov 2009   | THIS DUDE SUCKS BALLS ... at Zelda. This is one of the coolest things I've seen, in all honesty. But how dare he get hit! I could beat him with just 3 Heart Containers! But yeah, this is pretty freaking baller. And Halo looks funny when it's from the 3rd Person view... |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 572 Joined: 26 Jun 2009   | The nostalgia there was incredible, the puzzle solved, boss and chest tunes all brought back fondest memories. Bravo good sir. |
Beat Writer Posts: 213 Joined: 11 Sep 2009  | Wow, this is pretty impressive if you ask me. But then, I was never one for techological details anyway. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2375 Joined: 1 Jun 2009  | Despite my dislike for Halo I actually thought that was well done. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1788 Joined: 2 Jul 2009   | *sigh* Such wonderful memories. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2734 Joined: 20 May 2009  | definitely top marks for effort, and the platforming bit was nifty. Reminds me of the shit I used to get up to on forge... |

Master Chief Does Hyrule in The Legend of Halo
A timeless adventure starring that iconic green-clad videogame hero. No, the other one.
It really is amazing how much of our memories are derived from sound. All it takes is the little opening glissando of that MIDI-ified piano from the Ocarina of Time title screen, and I instantly feel like a 13-year-old kid again, sitting in my basement with all the lights turned off as I start my latest Zelda adventure.
That aside, the above video is the first part of The Legend of Halo: The Quest for Recon, a little machinima project featuring one user's quest for the extremely rare Recon armor in Halo 3 done in the style of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. And when I say "done in the style of," I mean that this guy absolutely nailed the feel of the N64 classic. From the camera angles as the Master Chief opens doors to the boss intro (how do you pronounce an apostrophe at the end of a word, exactly?), it's 100% Zelda ... just, you know, starring a SPARTAN-II instead of a little fairy boy in tights.
It might not look like a very exciting game to play (and boy, is it ever clear that Halo isn't meant to be a third-person action game) but the guy earns an A+ on effort and nostalgia value alone.
