Exploring the possibilities and limitations of a new technology is fun.

Obviously this is just a quick experiment lacking a whole lot you'd expect from a regular game, but there's also a lot to be curious about and different directions it could be taken in. With a harness could it generate a background, sprites, and collision mask so the player/NPCs can walk around in real-time? Could you limit commands from the player to reasonable actions ("I attempt to kick down the door") without the full god-mode world control? Or alternatively, could you allow a player to act as god of the world dictating changes, with NPCs or other players living within it (like as a tool for DnD)?

> why not just play an actual Legend of Zelda game? They exist. They are good.

One of their posts under "Latest" at the bottom is "Things I appreciate about Ocarina of Time", so presumably they have. Playing a game doesn't mean you can't also play around with experiments like this.
