That would pretty much kill anything official.And people have made unofficial ones. I found at least one right here on ENWorld back in... 2003 I think. I tried my own attempt once, but dropped it when I couldn't drum up support from my players (but fortunately, salvaged most of my work for the last 3E PbeM I ran).I like a lot of the Zelda ideas, and continue to use them in many of my games, but even an "official" unofficial campaign setting runs into a lot of problems - primarily, how do you stat up characters based on a game where the main (and really, only) character can do everything? Is everyone a fighter/wizard?And that's not even getting into the issues of what "era" of Zelda to set the game in, which one-time races to you include (Gorons and Zoras have appeared in multiple games, but Rito and Ooccoo only one), and such problems.I actually think fourth edition's system would fit very nicely - mostly martial powered classes, with maybe a few feats to grab some arcane spells or divine prayers. At will/Encounter/Daily stuff to somewhat represent the "drain" on a character's mana, maybe with a house rule that dailies eventually turn into encounters. Rituals to represent stuff like Ocarina's songs. Etc...In third edition, I really think you need new base classes - I've seen a "typical" slew, with fighters, wizzrobes, sages, etc... but I structured my own game around the Triforce, and had three heroic classes - Hero of Power, Hero of Courage, and Hero of Wisdom; sprinkle liberally with multiclassing, and prestige classes like Sheikah and Sage, and racial feats like Goron Roller and Fairy Companion, it was pretty flexible. A lot of power creep over standard D&D though, because I gave out a lot more feats.Hard to do I think, but great source of material to mine. I've got Clawshots, Whirlwind Boomerangs, Wind Batons, and Magical Floating Leaves findable in most of my games now.</blockquote>
