Minecraft - Link to the Past Hyrule - Sewers & Sanctuary

This is Part 3 of my Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Hyrule recreation in Minecraft. [Part 1 Here | Part 2 Here] This time, we head back into the Castle's Throne Room and begin our jaunt through the sewers to the Sanctuary and surrounding area

Another One Bites the Dust

It's a sad time in my house right now. A good friend of mine has passed away. That's right, my Playstation 3 bit the dust.

It had a good life though, being one of the older consoles. It's hard drive may have only been 40GB, but it had a lot of heart and a lot of hours through countless games. It saw millions of bullets fired and bad guys eliminated; countless worlds saved and races won. It lived the high life.

Dark times loom ahead until a suitable replacement can be found. Games will gather dust and controllers will go unused. A dustless spot where the console once stood will slowly begin to gather dust now.

While the mighty quest for a replacement ensues, the Xbox 360 will rule the roost. Fare thee well SOCOM Friday Nights. Fare thee well.

So...who's up for some Borderlands 2?

Minecraft - Link to the Past Hyrule - Eastern Palace

And I'm back! After a lot of work, I'm ready to reveal the next set of screenshots from my Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past Hyrule Build in Minecraft. The first post took us through the basics and Hyrule Castle, so now it's time to head east towards the Eastern Palace.

Ratchet & Clank Collection - 2 Down, 1 To Go

Almost a year ago, I bought and started playing the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection on PS3. I stopped playing it, not because it wasn't "fun", but because I started playing other games in its place, namely Borderlands 2 and, of course, Minecraft. But, within the past few weeks, I picked it back up and continued playing through Going Commando. I finished it last night to 100% and got my Platinum Trophy.

Minecraft - New Survival World Castle

I bet you were hoping my next update would be a continuation of my own Hurule project. Well, work on that has slowed down a bit, but I am still plugging away at it. I've finished most of Death Mountain now except for the Eastern caverns. Figuring how to make all those work has been a pain! (There are a few quick photos at the end of this post)

What I want to share today is a new world I started that I've become rather fond of. As usual, I started on pure Survival without cheats, but with the Bonus Chest. Right off the bat, I found an extreme hills biome with a great mountain that had a huge opening through it. Naturally, I had to climb to its peak and claim it as my own. From a simple dirt base in the side of the mountain, my castle began to take shape. This is where it stands currently.

Minecraft - Big Project (PC) - Hyrule from Link to the Past

Hello everyone. No, I haven't disappeared. I've simply been busy with life and haven't had much time to play games recently. Most of my time has been spent playing Borderlands 2 on the Xbox 360 and playing some in my Survival Map on Minecraft PC. I've also still been blasting away at what I'm now considering a stupid project in Minecraft: Xbox Edition; my bedrock to surface pyramid. (I'm getting close to completion though!)

But there is one project that I have been working on when I get a chance on Minecraft for the PC that I'd like to go ahead and share with everyone. Now, when you see it, you're probably going to say "But you already did that on the Xbox" which is partially true. But, with the power of the PC's version, as well as the extra block types and items, I've been able to do it so much better. Plus, being able to use external tools such as mcedit has made a huge difference. Add to that the customizable "Super Flat" levels, and I now have the foundation for my epic project.

I'm recreating the entire world of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
