Hello everyone,

I'm working on an OoT MQ repro cartridge (for myself), and I believe I have the label complete (although I may tweak some colors as I start printing), but first I would like some opinions.

Unfortunately I've only uploaded a low-res/scaled-down version. I don't want the full label going around until I'm done with it.

I started by fully reconstructing the OoT cartridge label with new assets. Then I started tweaking the colors and adding the "Master Quest" bit based on a screenshot from the N64 MQ ROM.

I would like to change the background color to something more fitting, so if anyone has any suggestions for that, please let me know.

Side-by-side comparison:

I can post the fishy face games label if you want.  It's pretty close to the original but with a ready gradient backdrop.

Looks good so far...but for some reason, I thought the Master Quest was a Gamecube exclusive. It has a different controller scheme, compared to the N64 version.

Actually, the GC version is just a ported ROM. OoT MQ was originally designed to be an "expansion pack" of sorts utilizing the 64DD (Nintendo 64 Disk Drive). The ROM can be ripped from the GC disc, tweaked, and then played on the N64.

Feel free to post it, but I have seen it on their site. Their label is more authentic to a MM cartridge rather than an OOT cartridge (most noticeably, the texture of ZELDA). It is an excellent label, but I am going for something slightly different.

I should also note that the sale of OoT MQ reproductions goes against the wishes of the people who ported the GC ROM back to N64 (unless it is the unaltered version).

It's the logo from OoT 3D, just made blue.  There's no change other than that.

Whatever.  People should just expect that sort of thing when they put stuff on the web, especially when they don't even own it in the fist place.

Does anyone know if anybody has made a universal gamecase cover for master quest yet? I know it's getting off topic but I would like a nice vertical N64 case for my collection for my repro MQ cart.

That would be awesome.
