I know I said I wouldn't post here again, but I need to tell GZilla something.

When you sent me the zelda3proto.7z file, I didn't actually open it so I must apologize for not giving you a well deserved hint.

Regarding what you just posted, you are getting extremely close and I'm getting rather excited that someone might win the rom! I'm simply ecstatic that I might be giving the rom to someone deserving.

Anyways, that was VERY close, but you're not incorporating all of the hints...

Think hard, you've only got today and tomorrow!

-okibi

He said we had yesterday and today to complete it... (assuming we can still complete it... )

THERE'S MORE TO THE PICTURE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!

Also, your mouse knows more than it tells.

Edit: Hate to break it, but we've now reached the time where Okibi doesn't reply to his emails, so we most likely are on our game over screen.

Remember Okibi said that the winner will be announced on the 26th, so maybe someone won it, or he's only accepting answers, not saying if they're correct or not?

I doubt it.

This still is very fishy... I still am very skeptical about this and it's not helping with that.

Read the bottom subtitle. Did I just stumble upon the answer?? I can only hope.



Adding in a joke, you might notice the three transformations on top of the triforce pieces.

So, Ganon gets to transform into this huge Pig using the Triforce of Power, right?

And Zelda, she gets to turn into Sheik with the Triforce of Wisdom.

But what about Link? He gets to be 7 years older. XD


But I guess it could be argued that his heart was infused with the courage to face any danger, but it still doesn't refute that he got the short end of the stick XD


And one more joke. The triforce reflects the heart of the user. So Ganon being evil turns into this huge Pig Demon.

Doesn't that mean Zelda's actually a cross dresser, or seme of a relationship? XD

OH YEAH! Hu hu hu hu ha ha ha



Edit 6:
No win However date extension until noon today for users on this board.

Another hint: What do the steps have to do with the question? Let's not play Jeopardy here!

Edit 7:
and another..

Let me make this simple...

There is a question on the Project Zero page.

If you solve the question by putting the answer into the 7z archive, you start a chain of events giving you 5 hints.

If you read WHAT TO DO, you can see that you only need to answer one question, but may have to work for it.

Work for it...

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION!!!

In case that still didn't help, let me break it down for you. The "question" you have is too vague, like many have pointed out. However, what is it really asking? Look to the hints for help.

And yes, it does matter how you answer.

-okibi


Someone on this board, use your divine intellect to solve this simple question.

I understand what he's saying..I still can't get the specifics for answering the broad question of where the Triforce is located out of these hints.


My brain has left for vacation.


Edit 8:
1. answer question
2.play game
3. 3's
4. i am error
5. translate text

"answer Zelda 3's error translation"

the title in the US is "A Link to the Past", but in Japan its known as "Kamigami no Triforce", or Triforce of the Gods.

I suppose the game marks the series where they expain in depth on the story of the Triforce and the powers it grants you. Why they would call it "A Link to the Past" in the US...I actually have no clue...it almost sounds like a prelude to Ocarina of Time...in Zelda 3 Link doesn't travel back in time, but travels between worlds...the Light and Dark worlds.

Perhaps the title is homage the Triforce's history, and how current Hyrule's people links to the ancient ones (as how Link is of Royal Blood, and the ancient sages with the 7 Maidens)

This somehow feels like the closest answer I've come to.

Does this answer the question though? where the triforce is located I assume would be on the Japanese title..the golden land is better connected to this game then with OoT since its called the Sacred Realm in that game.


Edit 9:
This answer was wrong. Feeling so hopeless right now..

like I said, he gave an extension for Acmlm's members for an answer by noon today.....

NOW its game over. Was this all for naught?

I guess I could take it as a learning experience since I stretched my logical ability to the max. Also learned some extra things on how my thought process works. Too bad I couldn't lay this mystery to rest.

I'm curious what brought so many people to believers that the rom is legit anyway. In the first pages it was the usual, this guy is bs'ing again. Now everyone seems to accept it as real. I must missed something in the last 20 pages.

The least we could do was try weather it be real or not. I know I didn't contribute anything because I don't know that much about the Zelda series but from just from viewing this thread from time to time I noticed some people thinking that the ROM was real.

Anyway, did okibi say what the answer was?

It was a fun puzzle for a dumb prize.

Posted by Xkeeper on PAGE FUCKING ONE
Suprise! The guy's been full of bullshit since day 1.


Need I say anymore?

If he did have the rom he would host it on his page without bullshit (except possibly requiring registration to his forums like most places do downloads anyway) and get reputation in a good way for supplying it to begin with. Instead, a contest that should have never existed was in play to make you think you were working hard for something valuable.
Also, he had the cartridge which someone "bought". What if the cartridge was just Zelda and he bought it back from himself as someone else stated 20 pages ago?

I am so glad I did not participate in this. All this time was wasted to give okibi attention he desperately wanted. This rom was a hoax, AND STILL IS unless he right now posts the damn rom! If he says no because nobody won, its because he doesn't have the fucking rom to begin with!

And you can take this as a flame, but think of this: he has no concrete evidence he has the rom. Just things to make you think he has it.
