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?
