Instead of shuttering the entire project, Sink decided to rebrand and expand on it to make it his own - that was the plan all along, he claimed. “They have really put themselves in a negative light when it comes to claiming YouTube videos, obliterating fan games, or censoring.”īut Zelda Maker did not die in 2015, not entirely. “I felt scared when they reached out to me, to be honest, because I have heard so many horror stories about Nintendo,” Sink told Kotaku. The videos where Sink showcased Zelda Maker got copyright claimed by Nintendo on YouTube, which in turn blocked everyone from viewing the footage. People wanted to play something like Zelda Maker, they loved the idea of it. Sink released an early version of the tool as “ Zelda Maker” online, Link included, and the game blew up. Just like Mario Maker, you could place elements such as enemies and landscape sprites anywhere on the digital canvas.
So in 2015, Sink got to work within Game Maker to craft a design suite that anybody could use to make a Zelda game. “I thought, if Nintendo this it’s too difficult then I’ll prove to them that it’s not, and I’ll make it happen,” Justin Sink, a hobbyist game creator, told Kotaku. One game developer took that response from Nintendo as a challenge.
“ Zelda Maker” seemed like a no-brainer, until Nintendo itself suggested such a game would be difficult to pull off. Following Mario Maker’s huge success, fans clamored for other Nintendo franchises to adopt easy level-creation tools.
