[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

I accidentally missed last Monday so I'm gonna update tomorrow, no worries

Okay. Good to know. I had presumed we already moved on by now.

 

[MartianSnake]

Alright folks, welcome back, sorry for the 2 week delay but I just wanted to get a reset going for some slight changes to the formula.

From now on, votes will also last a week, and coexist alongside the next challenge. challenges will open and close every Monday, no more weird Tuesday stuff.

With that out of the way, let's look at the submissions for this zelda challenge!

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
Resurgence of the Zora

Twenty years after the events of Ocarina of Time, a tragedy occurs. Ganon has reappeared to wreak havoc on Hyrule, but the Hero of Time has not returned to vanquish him. In desperation, the gods decide to flood the kingdom in hopes that the beast king would be vanquished.

You may think this story sounds familiar. However, this shall lead to a different story.

Instead of Hyrule's descendants becoming nomadic islanders living atop the mountains of the old terrain, their descendants are entirely different beings. In truth, they have become a race known as Azors, a new deviation of fishfolk, with their biology split clear down the middle: Their top halves resemble the Hylians of old, while their bottom halves are piscine in nature. But the Hylians are not the only race to evolve into aquatic lifeforms. As you explore the ruins of this land, you'll discover that certain subspecies of Azors were once Gerudo, Gorons, Sheikah, or even Bokoblins.

The story truly begins in earnest 250 years later, with Link being the knight apprentice to Zelda, the Queen of the Azors. Upon traveling on his noble hippocampus Epota, he receives word of an uprising taking place in Azor Canyon. Fearing the worst, he swims back to Zelda reporting this uprising. Feeling a sense of noble pride in her apprentice, Zelda appoints Link as the Hero of the Seas, and gives him the daunting task to reunite the Azor species against this upcoming civil war between aquatic humanoids.

Throughout his journey, Link finds out some effective worldbuilding, as does the player. The Gerudo subspecies has taken to feeding their newborn males to Jabu Jabu when they are born each century, the Goron subspecies is now as lightweight as the rest of the Azor races, the Sheikah subspecies has become even deadlier with their new watery advantages, and the Kokiri subspecies is able to spread out beyond what was once Kokiri Forest, made clear when we see the Azor Knights including a handful of that subspecies in their royal army in the opening cutscenes of the game.

Will Link unite the races of Azors against the advancing Zora Republic? Will Ganon try to reclaim Hyrule for his own? Will the water levels recede as far back as before the flood? You'll just have to play on to find out.​

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: REFLECTIONS OF THE SWORD​

This game is supposed to come from a very distant timeline, similar to BOTW/TOTK. We start the game in a battle between Link with Zelda and Ganondorf, allegedly, the battle to end all battles and where the cycle of reincarnation of these three will come to an end. But when Link is near to get the final blow, the sorcerer Malghrim who was aiding his dark lord Ganondorf casted a curse to the Master Sword, a curse that infected the shine of the blade with his malice, since such attack happened in the exact moment Link was at the point to slay Ganondorf, the four of them where trapped inside the Master Sword.

Inside this place, Link didn't found Zelda in any place, but instead it found a certain fairy who responded at the name of F, F guides Link inside this unknown realm made by the disrtorted records of the Master Sword. Link will now face against the mirages of old evils, as well to against the Phantoms of Ganon who are the physical manifestation of the curse casted by Malghrim.

In gameplay terms, probably one of the most interesing elements is that the whole game is a giant maze, instead of the usual system or botw's open game approach. This turns this Zelda into some sort of 3D Metroidvania a-la Lament of Innocence. The fighting system mantains some elements of what BOTW and TOTK constructed with Link being able to use an array of different weapons and shields, thought it lacks the despised durability system, instead reducing the amount of weapons while also making them more unique to each other asides of stats.

Multiple copies of characters that the reincarnations of Link has met in the past, both those we already known as well to those from adventures unknown for all plays, some of them will help Link directly or indirectly, while others might just hang around, some of them might even turn as obstacles during your path. Thought between them the most important character is Zelda, who was guided in her path by the mirages of her past reincarnations and joining Link around half of the game.

At that point now the adventure changes, Zelda joins you and you can even play with her! She works different to Link since she fights with magic, learning different spells around all the story. The player needs to use both Zelda and Link for the rest of the adventure to get a chance against Malghrim and Ganon.

Like Zelda, Link will also met the mirages of the previous Heroes who wielded the Master Sword, with them he will learn new fighting skills, similar to the Hero's Spirit in Twilight Princess (who he also met). Both Link and Zelda can aslo get their robes, mostly just for nostalgia.

At the end of the game, we met Ganondorf, reverted to his purest state as an entity of pure evil Ganon, the reason of this, is that the Sword also recorded the previous incarnations of Ganon and Malghrim used the Phantoms of Ganon as a way to gather their memories and power to turn his Ganondorf into his strongests self. After a fight with Malghrim, he sacrifices his life to give a final power up to his lord, thus starting the final battle, with this time Link being sucessful and deleting Ganon from the very existence, while Link and Zelda returns to reality. The Master Sword and the Triforce fades away, with the goddess of Hyrule deciding that with the absolute defeat of the evil, there is no need for the hero and the princess, instead gifting them finally a time to rest.

Spoiler: My dumbest idea

Btw of course F is just Fi.

LEGO The Legend of Zelda
Zelda got a lego set recently, so why not a video game? The game is like any other Lego game like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, etc. Instead of studs in this Lego game, you have rupees as studs to collect like in the Legend of Zelda games used to buy special powers, characters, gold blocks, etc.

Studs = Rupees
Gold Blocks = Golden Triangle Forces
Minikits = Link's Sword

The four stories are Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild. There are six levels for each game, like Star Wars.

The Legend of Zelda: Shades of Memory

This game retains the open world gameplay of previous more recent Zelda titles. It is set in a new version of Hyrule. This games focus is on multiplayer, which is done much like invasions from Dark Souls. Players can join your game at special points to help with dungeons and bosses, and can leave clues on how to do puzzles throughout the world. These 'Shades' appear as Shadow Links, taking a similar appearance to the classic foe. You can also set up a memory shade to appear in others games. You can see shades all over the world, making it interactive.

In this game Link can find special Memory Stones, these, these are what the player uses to enter other games. They can also be used in special eras to access past versions of the area, kind of like the Time Travel from OOT but using next gen hardware to activate on the fly, though only in certain moments. This allows the player to piece together the story and use information found in the past to solve puzzles in the present.

A shopkeeper based on the Happy Mask Salesman also appears throughout the world, and Link can trade 'Memory Shards' in order to unlock special items,nincluding unique outfits based on previous Zelda games. These Shards are collected from working with others both with and as Shades.

The plot features a new Link, who sets off on an adventure to stop a mysterious new villain, a masked knight, who is using the Memory Stones to play havoc with time. He will encounter all the usual Zelda races, like Gorons, Zora, etc, and use a Memory Stone to discover their history and solve their issues. Along the way he will also encounter Princess Zelda, who has been charged with protection of one of the Memory Stones, coming under threat from the mysterious knight. They'll also encounter familiar faces, such as Impa, who seem to have knowledge of the stones power.n

In the end, Link gains the Master Sword, and alongside Zelda, faces off with the knight, who is revealed to be a version of Link from a previous cycle, having gone mad. He's been gathering the stones to try and end the cycle, but it is revealed that Ganon has been secretly pulling the strings in order to gain the stones power, and uses them to bring himself back.This leads to a battle where Link has to face off against multiple versions of Ganon from previous Zelda games. Link defeats Ganon with the help of Zelda and the Knight, who sacrifices himself, and the timeline is resorted.

Challenge 5: The Legend of Zelda: Generations of Triforce

in a battle where Link and Ganondorf are fighting while Zelda is captured by Ganondorf, Ganondorf starts to use a power that he never used it, he uses a power where make a mess on the timeline gaining more darkness power, it makes an explosion that both Link and Zelda survives but Ganondorf is corrupted by the darkness and he can comes soon, the whole hyrule got a mix and mess of alternate realities, appearing various characters from the games of the timeline, the gameplay is Zelda 2 based mixed with Metroidvania elements, the game can find various characters from the series and the different incarnations of Link and Zelda

Vote for your top three, don't vote for yourself, voting closes next monday. You are encouraged to discuss your thoughts on the challenge submissions.

Now let's move onto

GAME PITCH CHALLENGE 6:

Pitch a (Non-Mario or Smash) Kart Racer!

The only guideline here is that it can't be a part of the Mario Kart series or a Nintendo crossover, other than that, go wild! Submissions close on monday!

 

[DragonRobotKing26]

1. Reflections of The Sword
2. Shades of Memory
3. Resurgence of Zora

 

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

1. Reflections of the Sword - If the Zelda series were to have any definitive ending, I'd like for it to be this one.
2. Shades of Memory - While the whole "multiverse storyline" plot has been beaten to death, I think applying it to Zelda makes more sense at this point.
3. Generations of Triforce - Repeat what I said above, and copy it into this section.

And now, my pitch for the non-Mario/Smash kart racer.

Shonen Jump's Wai Wai Wheels!

With the future of Shonen Jump at stake, I think the time is right to try another crossover game. Plus, Namco does have experience in racing games, going back to the 1980s, if not earlier.

PLOT

To make a long story short, Beerus got bored.

To make a short story long, the Tournament of Power was such a "success" that the God of Destruction decided to up the ante for his next act. He decided to turn the multiverse into one giant racing tournament. But this time, he didn't stop at Akira Toriyama's domain.

During a peaceful barbecue event, Goku and Vegeta get sucked through an orange and purple portal, with Bulma and Piccolo in hot pursuit shortly after.

While searching for Elbaf, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro (AKA: The Monster Trio) get sucked through a black and white portal, causing the other Straw Hats to get confused.

Meanwhile, during a slow day of teaching students, Izuku Midoriya gets sucked through a wormhole that physically deages him to his teenage self.

During this commotion, Naruto and Boruto get into a petty squabble over ramen toppings, when the two of them and Sasuke get dragged into a portal as well, leaving the villagers to wonder where they are.

And while all this is going on, Taro Sakamoto is cleaning his convenience store when a golden portal appears and takes him to a place beyond his expectations.

When they emerge on the other side, they meet other Shonen Jump characters that faced similar fates like Jotaro Kujo, Anya Forger, and Ichigo Kurosaki. Naturally, Goku believes Beerus when the God of Destruction appears to turn a new leaf, prompting everyone else to face fault.

Will the cast of the Shonen Jump multiverse reign supreme? Will Beerus claim the other worlds for his own? Will their friends arrive to rescue them? All this and more shall be revealed in bite-sized cutscenes.

Pokémon Triathlon: World Tour
​

A Pokémon racing game where Trainers from across the Pokémon World compete for the title of Pokémon Triathlon Master! Races are divided into three legs, one on land, one on the water, and one in the air. These are all essentially treated as laps, meaning there's no repeated sections.

Each trainer has a team of 3 Pokémon that act as “Karts”, one for each section, that they switch between when they end one leg and start another. Each Pokémon will be able to use one of their moves by charging an attack meter, charged by collecting Rare Candies on the track.

Each of the cups is themed on a different Pokémon region, hence the “World Tour” aspect.

[darkvortex]

1. Resurgence of the Zora - A straight sequel to a past game isn't exactly a new concept in this franchise but I think focusing in on a specific plotline in a sort of potential future type idea like this is really neat. The idea of an Atlantis style Hyrule is really cool and I like the changes made
2. Reflections of the Sword - We've kind of ended up with a few pitches that touch on similar ideas but I do think this is probably the best pitch I've heard for a Zelda game that actually deals with the reincarnation theory ideas.
3. LEGO The Legend of Zelda - More of a spin off but I do genuinely like this idea and think it would be very fun.

Kingdom Karts: Drifting Dreamworld
Drive through Sora's memories as he tried to reclaim them. Each cup takes you through an abridged retelling of the events a different Kingdom Hearts game, with the bigger games split into two cups. There's also a story mode which features bosses similar to Mario Kart DS. All the usual online multiplayer stuff is there too. Disney content is restricted to tracks, with a few notable exceptions. Also they make it canon somehow.

[Bölverkaizer]

My votes goes for Shades of Memories, Resurgance of the Zora and the LEGO Zelda game. All very interesing ideas not gonna lie.

Something unrelated but while I was out of comission I did a small drawing of a design for Link, I didn't made it with the idea of my concept but it could work so here it is.

For the moment I don't have an idea for a racing game but I'll come back later, I still have some things I need to answer first.

My votes goes for Shades of Memories, Resurgance of the Zora and the LEGO Zelda game. All very interesing ideas not gonna lie.

To clarify; is that the order in which you are voting for them?

The Simpsons Bump & Run

Have been kind of surprised a kart racer hasnt had a focus on colliding with opponents like Burnout. Game will take place primarily on Hovercraft were bumping into anyone or thing will send you flying in an direction.

Despite using the ip & similar name to the cult classic Hit & Run, the game will have a more traditional kart racing structure. However there will be an adventure mode with an open hub world that will require you to get out of your vehicle & do lite platorming to access events & collectibles like Hit & Run or Crash Tag Team Racing.

There will be no boost drifts as the focus will be on hitting the wall at the right angle for you skill / speed boost at turns. Items will be features & a battle mode which will be like an amplified version of Mario Party Bumper Balls.

There will be small story Mr. Teeny being accidently shrunk by Prof. Frink's new shrinking ray & the residence of Springfield racing to impressive & find him for a big reward in locations both as normal & shrunken sized.

Crossover X-ing
(pronounced Crossover Crossing)

Put simply, it’s a roster made entirely of famous fictional cars & racers, with the main gimmick being each of them having special ways to get ahead in the race, special weapons, or both. Has racing elements but also car combat, and you have to balance between both to truly be effective. Crashing into foes is generally good for dealing damage, but you’ll want your weapons + other methods in order to fight while still being able to get ahead.

Racer Roster [at least for now]

Racetracks

Other Notes

• Characters who win will have special quotes for specific tracks and other game modes, akin to win quotes in fighting games. Not to mention likely audio clips for when they’re racing in-game.
• For most duos and groups, you can pick from any of them to be your driver, aside from the default.

Pokémon Triathlon: World Tour

​

A Pokémon racing game where Trainers from across the Pokémon World compete for the title of Pokémon Triathlon Master! Races are divided into three legs, one on land, one on the water, and one in the air. These are all essentially treated as laps, meaning there's no repeated sections.

Each trainer has a team of 3 Pokémon that act as “Karts”, one for each section, that they switch between when they end one leg and start another. Each Pokémon will be able to use one of their moves by charging an attack meter, charged by collecting Rare Candies on the track.

Each of the cups is themed on a different Pokémon region, hence the “World Tour” aspect.

Drive through Sora's memories as he tried to reclaim them. Each cup takes you through an abridged retelling of the events a different Kingdom Hearts game, with the bigger games split into two cups. There's also a story mode which features bosses similar to Mario Kart DS. All the usual online multiplayer stuff is there too. Disney content is restricted to tracks, with a few notable exceptions.

The Simpsons Bump & Run

Have been kind of surprised a kart racer hasnt had a focus on colliding with opponents like Burnout. Game will take place primarily on Hovercraft were bumping into anyone or thing will send you flying in an direction.

Despite using the ip & similar name to the cult classic Hit & Run, the game will have a more traditional kart racing structure. However there will be an adventure mode with an open hub world that will require you to get out of your vehicle & do lite platorming to access events & collectibles like Hit & Run or Crash Tag Team Racing.

There will be no boost drifts as the focus will be on hitting the wall at the right angle for you skill / speed boost at turns. Items will be features & a battle mode which will be like an amplified version of Mario Party Bumper Balls.

There will be small story Mr. Teeny being accidently shrunk by Prof. Frink's new shrinking ray & the residence of Springfield racing to impressive & find him for a big reward in locations both as normal & shrunken sized.

Crossover X-ing
(pronounced Crossover Crossing)

Put simply, it’s a roster made entirely of famous fictional cars & racers, with the main gimmick being each of them having special ways to get ahead in the race, special weapons, or both. Has racing elements but also car combat, and you have to balance between both to truly be effective. Crashing into foes is generally good for dealing damage, but you’ll want your weapons + other methods in order to fight while still being able to get ahead.

Other Notes

• Characters who win will have special quotes for specific tracks and other game modes, akin to win quotes in fighting games. Not to mention likely audio clips for when they’re racing in-game.
• For most duos and groups, you can pick from any of them to be your driver, aside from the default.

Mine-Kart
A MineCraft kart racer where players could create their own karts and tracks as well as gather or earn resources during each race to be used for building.
It focuses more on racetracks instead of racers.

GAME PITCH CHALLENGE 7

Pitch an Atari Platform Fighter!
​

We've ping ponged from more specific and vague challenges, but now I wanna try out getting really specific, I want you to pitch a platform fighter based on the works of Atari! Why Atari? Well, because it's a weird but not too obscure company. I've seen creates threads for a ton of companies, but I don't think I've seen Atari ever get one, so let's see you make one.

Two notes for this challenge.

1. Guest fighters are 100% okay.
2. You can feel free to pitch this game as if it came out for older or nonexistent hardware. Wanna pitch Atari Smash for the 2600? Go ahead! Wanna imagine Atari got into the wii era's low budget platfighter trend? Sure! Wanna pretend Atari never left the console game, be my guest!

Do whatever floats your boat, as long as it's an Atari Platfighter!

Next update from me should be next Monday, sorry for being so late today.

 

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

If anything, I'm shocked my Zelda suggestion got second place. Not that I'm complaining, though.

Kart Racer Votes:

1. Pokemon Triathlon: World Tour - Quite frankly, applying a mix between Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed and the pitch for Donkey Kong Racing to a Pokemon kart racer is an inspired choice. It doesn't hurt the title alone will sell five million units minimum.
2. Kingdom Karts: Drifting Dreamworld - A Kingdom Hearts racing game, with a thematically-fitting plot to go along with it. Count me in!
3. The Simpsons Bump & Run - This sounds so unequivocally Simpsons that I gotta give it to them here.

Without further delay, here's my Atari Platfighter pitch.

Atari Fighting League

At the 2025 Summer Game Fest, Atari made the most surprising announcement of the season: They will be throwing their own hat into the ring of platform fighters...albeit a while after Nick and WB had their chances in the sun.

They announced that this game will have 20 characters and 15 stages in the base game, spanning their entire history from 1972 and beyond.

The look and feel of the game would basically amount to "8-bit Smash Bros.", where you fight on top of strewn-about platforms while knocking the stuffing out of each other in a 4-player free-4-all.

Fighters:
1: Bentley Bear (Crystal Castles)
2: Paperboy (...)
3: Oliver the Elf (Centipede)
4: Commander Champion (Atari Force)
5: Emi Kimura (Yars Rising)
6: Tarra (SwordQuest)
7: Torr (SwordQuest; clone fighter of Tarra)
8: Charley Chuck (Food Fight)
9: Pitfall Harry (Pitfall!)
10: Pac-Man (...)
11: Adventure Square (...)
12: Peter Pack Rat (...)
13: Ostrich Knight (Joust)
14: Thyra (Gauntlet)
15: Sauron (Primal Rage)
16: Katy Kangaroo (Kangaroo)
17: Glover (...)
18: Mr. Run and Jump (...)
19: E.T. (...)
20: Bubsy the Bobcat (...)

Stages:
1: Atari Medley (Pong/Breakout/Canyon Bomber/Asteroids)
2: Paperboy Street
3: Centipede
4: Yar's Revenge
5: The Jungle (Pitfall!)
6: Tempest
7: Joust
8: Rampage
9: Pac-Maze 2600
10: Crystal Castles
11: Toobin'
12: Frogger
13: Q*Boxes (Q*Bert)
14: Roller Coaster Tycoon
15: Chuck E.'s Concert (Chuck E. Cheese)​

[KneeOfJustice99]

Voting;

1. Crossover X-ing - I think while it's an obvious mishmash of all kinds of things, the actual idea here is incredibly solid, with different character abilities and whatnot. Am I slightly biased because TRON's included? Maybe.
2. Pokemon Triathalon - A really unique way of handling Pokemon in a racer like that.
3. The Simpsons: Bump & Run - Really cool idea with a very "Simpsons" feel to it. A focus on collisions feels really fresh!

Submission; Never let it be said that Atari is anything but an absolute mess to try and figure out. At any time, it seems as though the name is shared by about four different companies - and that's not entirely inaccurate, either. However, I think there's a unique opportunity in a particular period of history to mess around with something fun, taking inspiration from what would later go on over at Nickelodeon.

Here's the setup. The year is 2004, and Atari is - as usual - in a bit of a mess. However, Atari SA - who, at the time, held a lot of Atari licenses on top of stuff from Accolade and remnants of Infogrames - are in November of that year, planning to release their first Atari Flashback... continuing a focus on nostalgia on top of new developments with the brand they'd recently bought back from Hasbro. So... a little cross-promotion can't hurt, can it?

Thus; a Flash browser-game platfighter is developed, named Atari Flashback Wars. It's a fairly simplistic deal, intended to (somewhat) ape the success of Super Smash Bros. in concept, but also as a fairly tightly-developed cross-promotion for the upcoming Flashback - which wasn't an uncommon practice at the time, given the number of driving games released on Flash that were just straight up cross-promotion for a new car brand. Note that, despite being marketed with the "Atari" brand, a lot of iconic Atari stuff just... won't be here - companies like Atari Games still being owned by Warner Bros. would prevent that. Oh well.

Might seem a bit... strange, at a glance, but I think this is at least an interesting take on something that could semi-plausibly have occurred. Or not. Who knows.

I updated the thread last last night, it slipped my mind

 

[ssbashworld]

1 Kingdom Karts - Normally just hear about Disney as a whole or Chocobo GP for kart racers. Think this is a clever idea with good potential.
2 Crossover X-ing - Alot of detail & great ideas. Only thing holding it back for me is it is the one that i cant imagine ever happening unfortunately due to all the licensing.
3 Pokemon Triathlon - Surprised Pokemon never tried a kart racer. Think this idea has a fun twist that would fit series well.

 

[darkvortex]

1. Shonen Jump's Wai Wai Wheels - Pretty fun idea for another SJ crossover and the idea of framing it around the tournament of power is really clever. Wish we got a little more series variety but the roster we did get is really solid.
2. Pokémon Triathlon: World Tour - Pokemon is long overdue for a proper racing game and this is an extremely interesting way to do it.
3. Kirby Kart Ride - Always down for more air ride even if this isn't quite air ride.

Atari Attackers
Launched in 2022 as part of their 50th Anniversary. Is a smash-like but with a very simplified control scheme, being easy to pick up and learn. Would be released as a smaller mid-budget title. The games main gimmick would be the ability to swap between the games main animated artstyle and a retro sprite based style. Mainly focused on multiplayer but with a basic arcade mode. The idea is to reintroduce these characters to a new audience as to test interest for possible relaunches. Focuses on characters they actually own, but with two notable guests.

Roster

1. Bounty Bob (Miner 2049)
2. Centipede (Centipede)
3. Charley Chuck (Food Fight)
4. Jailbird (Breakout)
5. Red Baron (Red Baron)
6. Scraps (Scrapyard Dog)
7. Major Havoc (Major Havoc)
8. Ninja (Ninja Golf)
9. Tarra \ Torr (Swordquest)
10. Evil Otto (Berzerk)
11. Yar (Yars' Revenge)
12. Yorgle (Adventure)
13. Unhappy Interface Robot #1984. (I, Robot)
14. Zachary Graves (Haunted House)
15. Agent-X (Cloak & Dagger)
16. Trevor Mcfur (Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy)
17. Space Invader (Space Invaders) - Guest from Taito
18. Pitfall Harry (Pitfall) - Guest from Activision
19. Bubsy (Bubsy) - Released as free DLC a year later when Atari gets the rights.

Stages
Stages are mostly pretty simple. There would be several based on the properties already in the game but also a few others, including Pong, Asteroids, Missile Command and general "Atari Sports Arena" and "Atari Raceway" stages that combine a few games together.
