Species

Hylain: The average species.  Similar to humans, only with pointy elf ears.  No particular strengths, no particular weaknesses.

Goron: Slightly slower rock man specie.  Generally has a higher defense, and is immune to fire.  They instantly drown in deep water though....

Zoran: A faster half fish, half man specie.  They have high speed, but are instantly killed by ice, so be careful..

Deku: A half man, half plant specie. Ice instantly kills them, but they have a high magic stat.

Kokiri:  A specie if forest elf.  They are proficient in magic and really have no weakness.  They never age as long as they stay in their forest.

Raising Stats

To raise a stat, you must train.  Training takes a day.  At the end of each day of training you will have 5 new free stat points to assign however you wish.   Stats Max out in Different areas.  Most stats max out at 999, although awareness stops growing at 100.   You cannot train in Valor.

Finding Items/Weapons/Masks

When finding items you need to first know the area where the item is located.  You then need to go to the area and search.  It takes 7 days to find  items and weapons and masks.  If the item isn't there, then you have wasted a week. Most dungeons have an item that you will receive while exploring.  You do not need to say searching for item in the dungeon.

  Some areas only have so many of the items.  For example,  there are only 6 bottles at the ranch, and once they are gone, they are gone.

  If more than one character are looking for an item, and there is only one left, the player who gets it first, gets it.  If the players end on the same day, they must either discuss it, and decide who gets it, or fight for it.
 
  A character may only hold 25 items.  They may only equip 4 at a time.   You may switch items from the unequipped list to the equipped list and vice versa in battle, but it takes 1 turn.

Searching for Rupess/Bombs/Arrows/Hearts

The following is the time it takes to search for the above items.

Rupees: You may find 25 rupees per day.
Bombs:  You may find 3 bombs per day
Arrows:  You may find 5 arrows per day.
Hearts:  You may find 3 hearts per day.

Wallet

Your wallet may hold an infite amount of rupees.

Learning Songs

To learn a song (in most cases) you must have a musical instrument.   Once you have it, you go to the area where the song was learned.  It takes 10 days to learn a song.

  Your character may only learn 3 songs.  To learn  more than 3 songs, you need the song book.  Once you have it, you can replace the 3 songs in your head.

Death

When you die you are revived at the last town you visited, unless you die in a dungeon.  If you die in a dungeon you will revive outside of the dungeon.  When you revive, you will only have 3 full hearts.  After you die, it takes 7 days to revive.  During this week, your body may be robbed by a player or an NPC.  A player may only take 1 item off of a dead character.  An NPC may take 2.  Once an item (or 2) has been taken off of a dead player, no one else may take an item.  That is to say, a corpse can only be robbed once.

Bottles

Bottles are found scattered across the worlds.  They can hold the following items:
Life Fairies
Potions
Bees

Fairies

There are two types of fairies; Life Fairies and Lookout Fairies.

  Life fairies pop out of your bottles and revive you when you run out of hearts.
  Lookout fairies add 100 to your awareness stat.  You have have up to 9 look out faries.  You cannot search for a lookout fairy.  They will find you, or be rewarded to you.

Dungeons

Dungeons are where bosses lay.  They have many rewards, but its a risk.  You must have a battle chat with the boss. It is possible to go in with other players and jump the boss, but you must  figure out how to split the rewards.

Dungeons have two difficulties.  Normal and hard.  Easy dungeons take 3 days to clear, normal dungeons take 5 days to clear, and hard takes 10 days to clear.

Horses

Horses half your travel time.  You can name them whatever you want, but food for them costs 100 rupees a month

Travel

It takes 2 days to pass through each grid line on the map, unless it is water.  Zorans pass through water grids in 2 days, but Hylians, Gorons, and Deku all take 4.  The only way to speed up the travel time would be to get a raft.

Battles

All battles will be done in my via AOL instant messenger. YOU MUST HAVE AOL INSTANT MESSENGER TO JOIN THIS RPG.

Your attack stat versus their defense stat determines how much damage you do.  If you are above their defense within 50 points, you do 1/2 heart damage.  You will do an aditional 1/2 heart for every 50 points your attack is above their defense.

  If their defense is within 50, it does 1/2 heart.  It will reduce the damage by 1/2 for every 50 points your defense is above their offense.

  Your magic stat  translates to your MP;  You get 1 MP for every 2 points of your magic stat.

  Your speed stat determines who goes first.  You can attack more than once if you speed stat is 100 above the opponent.  You can attack additional times for every 100 points your stat is above theirs.  For example.  If you speed is 300, and theirs is 100, you can attack twice before they can attack once.

  Awareness affects your ability to dodge, although i cannot be any more specific at this time....

Arena

The battle arena is an event that will happen every month or 2.   It costs 500 rupees to enter.  All participant's names will be placed in a hat. I will draw your names to pair you off.  The top 2 players recieve awards.   The player ranking #2 will recieve one fourth of all of the rupees players used to enter.  The winning player recieves a UNIQUE item.  Only one of this item exists.  Some items are items from Zelda games that I felt were too strong.   Other items i made up just for fun..
