Stolen levels?
 

Hi. Um not trying to start argue or something, but did admins have permission to take/steal legend of Zelda graphics? The battle arena level graphics are the exact same as "Link to the Past"s. Just wanted to know :3

Lol the whole game looks like Legend of Zelda.

*Goggles Link to the Past images*
O___________O . they do look similar but it's just another pixel style concept
-actually yeah everything does look like it if i were playing it right now i would feel like if i were playing graal the entire time

lol ikr

Dusty, Rufus, Crono, come explain the Nintendo -Zelda online lawsuit.

fun fact. GraalOnline was previously named Zelda Online until Nintendo sued. The more you know.

So these were legit ? :O

indeed

There are a lot more similar graphics than you think, almost everything is the same as a link to the past down to each pixel.

But resized.

Look at the chickens and Zelda's chickens 0:

those videos are not of zeldaonline by stefan, thats a completely different project by someone else..

I'd like to see some comparison graphics.

i made this here a long long time ago.

No I mean the "down to the pixel" apparently rips. I know what LttP looks like and I know what Graal looks like, but I want to see the apparently stolen graphics and such... because as far as I know Graal isn't infringing copyright at all.

I'm pretty sure Graal is stealing some hats. Lol..

Graal was most fun when it still looked like the SNES Zelda.

Lets be honest, what is legally stolen, and what we know deep down is stolen, are two different things. Do you not believe that these graphics were taken, without permission for their use, for a profiting game, and edited only barely to avoid them being exactly the same?

Most of pics1 is heavily edited and doesn't even resemble LttP at all except by structure. To say Graal looks anything like LttP is an insult to the graphics of LttP. In fact it's a shame Stefan is so scared of using pics1 on iClassic because he wants to avoid any potential trouble... because there is no trouble to be had.

I agree. But I'm asking do you believe it isn't a edit of it?

personally, I find it funny how edits are frowned upon in the Graal Graphics Community, however the game is one big edit lol

Does it matter? If they're edited, they're edited far beyond the point where they're considered stolen anymore, and are instead original graphics. My texture pack for Minecraft is an "edit" of Minecraft's pack but does that devalue the graphics at all? If I were to make my own game would I not be able to use those graphics?

This is the 2012 way of making money.
