Description

This is my second quest after Hyrule in Chaos & I spent almost 2 years on it. It’s one amazing quest which has an oriental feel to it and will leave players impressed with its uniqueness and originality. After coming up with the pattern/symmetry-based Hyrule in Chaos (and its many incarnations from Hyrule in Danger -> Hyrule in Trouble -> Hyrule in Peril -> Hryule in Chaos), I decided to come up with a quest that features a natural looking background with a focus on layers & tons of item triggers.

Story

This occurs in the events after Hyrule in Chaos where Link celebrates his victory over Ganon by taking a ship cruise. However, storms caused him to disembark on the beach of a new land. He soon discovers there are two strange lands called Orient & Taoland. Soon he goes on a new quest to try uncover what is causing the non stop rain in Orient & non stop snow in Taoland. Link soon learns that Ganon is the cause behind the weather disturbances & it requires a special item that can control the weather & bring peace to both lands. But that item & 4 other items are hidden in 5 elemental shrines. Additionally, he has to explore 9 new dungeons to recover the Triforce of Wisdom which Ganon requires to complement his stolen Triforce of Power. Eventually, Link manages to enter the fabled Jade Temple & ventures on a crazy trail after Ganon & the battle between Ganon & Link is even more explosive than what was seen in Hyrule in Chaos. Ganon's defeat rests in the shoulders of Link...it's up to you to control Link's destiny & restore peace to Orient & Taoland.
