The way that I had figured it was that the Hylians were actually High Elves, and that the people living in Hyrule today were, dare I say it, Half Elves! That's right, an entire kingdom of Half Elves! They seem to me more human in their actions and the way they live their lives than Elves (not to mention that human, or MORE human than elven lifespan). That the Kokiri were some kind of Wood Elves or Wild Elves. Hylian Knights were Paladins before they were wiped out by the war. Ganon, who by now has gone thru so many transformations, he might as well be a demon prince on the same level as Orcus, has a dark clergy devoted to him. Come to think of it, he DID look like a demon prince at the very end of OoT. There could also be a clergy for each of the three goddesses (their names escape me at the moment). I hope to see stuff for each time period in the Legend of Zelda games. I ran a short campaign thru the Link to the Past world from the good ole' SNES for 2E (in between the games a Link to the Past, and that one for the gameboy (the first Zelda for the Gameboy?) that I cannot remember now), and it worked out great. I was able to get maps of all the dungeons and stuff online. As for Link's stats, they'd vary I think on the different Links that have been around thruout gaming history. I could see Link in OoT as having levels of fighter, ranger, and bard. Well, that's all i've got for right now. Thanks for replying! I look forward to seeing what you FFd20 guys come up with in your conversion.

Oh yeah, and on a real quick note, there were dwarves (the weaponsmiths that temper the Master Sword) in A Link to the Past!

No, not really. See, in Ocarina of Time (which is the first in the timeline), Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo is trying to obtain the Triforce, which is locked in the Golden Land. But he only gets the Triforce of power. Link saves the day, and Ganon (Ganondorf's pig form) is banashed into the void between worlds. Then Link goes and saves the Land of Termina. Once Link grows up, he becomes a Knight of Hyrule and the first Hylian Knight.
Then come the Oracle games (I believe), where Link must stop Twinrova from summoning Ganon back from the void. Link fails, and has to fight Ganon. He defeats him, and he is sent back into the void.
However, eventually (And I personally think this must have taken millenia rather than centuries, since the Hylia(ns) have died out, and the Kokiri and the Deku Tree are gone, along with Gorons and Lake Zora) Ganon finds his way from the void into the Golden Land, and because the gate is sealed from the Light World, the Triforce cannot seperate, and Ganon gains the full powers of the Triforce. To help open the gate to the Light World, Ganon manages to posses the Wizard Aghinim (however you spell it), who sends the descendants of the Seven Sages (strange considering that All the sages are Human/Hylian and there were Gerudo, Goron, Zora and Kokiri sages, but after Millenia the blood would thin I guess) into the Dark World. Link rescues them and defeats Ganon.
Then He goes a-sailing away and shipwrecks himself on Koholint Island, where Link awakens the windfish and awakes from his dream.
(I think the GC Zelda goes in here, though I can't be sure.)
Then comes Zelda I where Link must recover the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has smashed, and then Zelda II where Link must awaken the Long-sleeping Zelda from Centuries ago.
In every Zelda, there is a different story. Usually, you still have to rescue Zelda, but there's a different story behind it.

Wow - that's a good idea! Use the dungeons from the various zelda games. Thanks for the idea! That will make making dungeons a lot easier.
Heck, they'll even come with monsters and a "boss monster" too. All you'd have to do is convert the monsters over (not to tough, imo), make the boss monster (once again, not to tough) and if need be advance the monsters to suit the party. Granted, i'd probably change the tilesets because who wants to adventure in a bright blue dungeon?
