I know you may refuse this but if I wanted to make my own hale-Lide MOD how would I go about doing it?

Thank you!

    My first suggestion is <b>NOT</b> to post any new mod ideas on the PHL forums. Those guys are just mean.
    Second, know your C++. C++ isn't a very hard programming language to learn and you can find many book and websites for tuts.
    Third. be <b>ORIGINAL</b>. There are so many mods out there that rip off books and movies and TV shows and even other computer games like: Wolf3D, LOTR, Dragon Ball Z and hundreds more, they are all really dumb.

    If you make a zelda mod, you are setting yourself up for failure. Make a game LIKE zelda, sure. Inspired by Zelda, fine. But if you call it zelda, or has zelda characters, or is close enough of a copy to be able to be sued, then you are setting yourself up for failure, embarrassment, and possibly even legal penalties.

    I don't think Nintendo cares about that. CapCom doesn't care for RE:TE. Pioneer doesn't care for the stupid DBZ MODs out. Nintendo doesn't care for the Super Mario MUGEN character, they probably don't know though.

    I think hes talking about the fans more when he refers to "failure"

    Actually, I'm almost positive that the guys who made the DragonBall Z mod actually contacted the company that owns the copyright for DBZ and obtained permission from them to do an HL mod. And, I'm fairly certain that's how it works for other mods based on copyrighted material.

    When will people learn that companies DO care when you infringe on their copyrights? Its been 10 years and people haven't learned it yet! Guys, a zelda mod will be no exception. Do some online history searching or something and see all the mods just like yours that have came and went...

    Nintendo is actually VERY concerned about the stealing of their intellectual property. Hell they have shut down web sites about their games before. Web sites. You know they'll instantly smash it when you steal the game itself...

    As far as Capcom goes, they are actually pretty cool, as they give out permission for mods to use their stuff. The RE:TE team actually has official permission from Capcom to do the mod, as does/did the MegaMan Q3 mod. In fact, I even got permission to do a Street Fighter mod laying around on my hard drive somewhere. They are very cool guys indeed.

    [edit]
    Here's a <a href='http://www.planetquake.com/features/articles/editorials/foxed.shtml' target='_blank'>very good article on foxed mods</a> on PlanetQuake. Its from a year or two ago, but its still completely relevant today. Also shows you how history tends to repeat itself. :P
