World (old version - now updated)
This total conversion mod/map is every non-dungeon area in Ocarina of Time, excepting the graveyard and Hyrule Castle courtyard (I think - may be in this update) in
one map for online multiplayer. That includes Hyrule Field, Lon Lon Ranch, Kakariko Village, Death Mountain, Goron Village, Zora River, Zora's Domain, Lake Hylia, Gerudo Valley, Kokiri Forest, the Lost Woods, and even the interior of the Great Deku Tree.
Weapons include: Fire Arrows, Ice Arrows (actually freeze your target in a block of ice upon impact), Light Arrows, the Slingshot, Hookshot (actually functions as a hookshot, somewhat), Master Sword, Biggoron Sword, lit Deku Sticks, the Boomerang, and a crossbow from Link's Crossbow Training, I guess. For grenades, there are Bombs and Deku Nuts (which actually freeze your opponent and temporarily blind him).
To make travel less cumbersome, Epona (rides competently now) and Zelda's horse from that one cutscene as well as generic horses (from which you can fire arrows). There are warps in the map coinciding with their locations in the original game.
Also, since those screenshots were taken, the HUD has been updated to reflect Ocarina of Time's original. Hearts are health and magic meter is the shield. Really neat.
Remember how in Majora's Mask you would use the Chateau Romani to get unlimited magic and then use ice arrows to traverse the ocean that would normally send you back until you got all the way to the water temple? I started doing that in LoH to build an ice bridge from the tower in Lon Lon Ranch. I got pretty far and I made a staircase to the heavens but one of the guys I was playing with started melting it.
I got a nifty screenshot too.
This was in the middle of a four-person deathmatch back in January. Seriously, play it, it's amazing fun with people. Bug me on IRC or something.
