THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

DUNGEON PITCH & INTENTIONS

PITCH 

The Goron Mine is a very old mine but still full of resources despite its many decades of exploitation. It's about the mine with the best ore production in Hyrule, and therefore the most important. Ganondorf's evil forces led by one of his lieutenants, Taupinar, seized it by chasing the Gorons workers, thus depriving the inhabitants of Hyrule of important resources. A very powerful tool, the Goron Magnet, was also stolen. A new quest presents itself to Link...

​

CHALLENGE

The challenge is divided in several ways. The player must first face enemies in order to recover the Magnet, then he will have to learn to use it by using his environment if he wishes to be able to progress in the dungeon and face the boss, while solving puzzles and eliminating other enemies present on his path.

​

GAMEPLAY & ARTISTIC INTENTIONS

My intention here is to make the player navigate through the dungeon using the Magnet as much as possible. Before its acquisition, he will have to go through the first rooms of the dungeon normally, but he must necessarily use it afterwards if he wishes to be able to progress. Knowing that it is a mine, the environment will look like it, with ores scattered on the walls and numerous chasms and holes representative of mining activity in the area. He will also have to watch out for stalagmites which can hurt him.

​

DUNGEON DIFFICULTY

The dungeon's difficulty lies in its navigation, its puzzles and the multiple enemies to beat. The combination of these elements gives the Goron Mine a medium difficulty, which could place it between the middle and end of the game.

​

BOSS

The boss guarding the Goron Mine is named Taupinar. Recognized master miner, his expertise in the field has also earned him the title of Lieutenant, making him an important part of Ganondorf's forces of evil. He always wears his favorite helmet on his head, which protects him from almost everything. It would take a mighty shock to knock it down from the top of his head, which could possibly make him vulnerable.
