After a very long period of silence, I've returned to announce an awesome new project called:
Ocarina Retold!
As you know, I've written plenty of Zelda-themed pieces across the ages, including a couple of epic multi-part poems.
I'm now writing (and planning to publish as a book) a new epic Zelda-inspired poetic tale called Ocarina Retold.
Rather than keeping strictly to the events of the game, the idea is that Ocarina Retold is much more 'inspired by' Ocarina of Time. I aim to capture the atmosphere of the game, as well as major story beats... but things will not be exactly as they are in the game!
You can find out more at my new blog dedicated to the project
I will mostly post thoughts, progress, and discussion points over on my blog, so do follow that if you're interested in the project. I'll post some occasional snippets and drafts here too.
More details about the poetic tale, and other book contents, will come out as I make progress.
Let me know what you think below, or over at my blog
Ocarina Retold progress
Hi all :)
I'm still here, after a bit of a summer lull!
Hope everyone is doing well :D Did you have a restful summer? Or a productive one?
I'm still quietly working away on Ocarina Retold. I've completed more of the main story and now also a few of the stand-alone dungeon segments.
I've just posted another small preview from the main story. It is from the re-imagining of the events in the Kakariko windmill and learning the Song of Storms.
:bulletgreen::bulletgreen: There are lots of different ways you acquire the Ocarina songs. Which was your favourite?
As always, let me know your thoughts!

Ocarina Retold: Extra book sections
Hi all!
Quick update with a bit more on the book! :D
The main part of my book, Ocarina Retold, is the re-imagining of the story of Ocarina of Time. This is a multi-part poem inspired by the main events of the game. But there are so many interesting bits of the game and its world that just won't fit into the main tale.
So, I'm planning to include an assortment of extra sections to capture cool and memorable things that don't quite fit into this retelling.
:work:
Currently I'm planning to have a section covering all of the dungeons in the game. These are mostly separated from the main story since they would largely slow down the progression
Ocarina Retold: Capturing favourite moments
In Ocarina Retold, my re-imagining of Ocarina of Time, I want to capture the essence of some of the best moments from the game.
Whether you first played it on the N64, GameCube, Wii VC, or 3DS, what were your favourite moments in Ocarina of Time?
Here are just a couple of mine, that I will certainly be trying to capture in some way in Ocarina Retold:Stepping out into Hyrule Field for the first time. It might be kind of small by today's open-world standards, but after the compact and enclosed spaces of Kokiri Forest, The Lost Woods, and the Deku Tree, Hyrule Field seemed huuuge. The sweeping camera shot and grand swell of music are a perfect c
Ocarina Retold: Points of View
In Ocarina Retold, I am re-imagining the story of Ocarina of Time in an epic poetic tale.
I been thinking about the idea of telling the tale from multiple viewpoints, giving some variety to the themes and feel of the tale. I'm leaning more heavily towards this now, and have already been rewriting some early parts to be told from POVs other than the "Hero".
The first POV will be the "Hero" (the stand-in for Link). The tale currently begins, as OoT does, with this "Hero" waking up from a dream - I've already posted a small preview of this chapter.:bulletgreen: Are there are any characters you'd particularly like to see as POVs in this re-imagin
