This won't be a well respected idea but hear me out.

Me and my friend were thinking what would happen if we had some spin off of Zelda, probably as a mod for ut3. Since I can map on UT3 and twilight princess models are already ported to .3ds, I figured I'd take the lazy way out if I ever do start this.

So we figured three teams, one for each of the three forces (tri-force lol) and each team has about 6 very unique characters.
I'd make a list to explain but I think you get the idea. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting if they all played just like in the game (twilight princess).

I'm no pro so I thought this would be a good way to start off getting serious in modding, I've been trying for years but I guess I've been aiming way over my head. This seems a little more realistic, at least as far as my skills go. Good idea? Bad idea?

I think you should ask Nintendo about using their intellectual property.

Seems to me like your still shooting pretty high.

As for your question; I can't tell you if its a good idea or a bad idea. It is a very vague concept.

The first thing that came to mind was...."Zelda? Really, its Zelda.....", then i decided to get past the stage of where i just though "NO", it might actually be a fun idea if you can get it 100%.

Yeah that's what I thought of the idea when my friend presented it actually.
I wouldn't feel as proud since it's not a unique idea but it could be pretty neat to get it done. In the end I think I'll want to do something original anyway, I have too many ideas to just throw them away.

I am also wondering what this game will be about?
From what I understand, you want to make a team-vs-team game set in the Zelda universe. With 3 teams.
What will the teams be doing? What style? How big teams? Is it a sports game, or a team-deathmatch combat game?

I decided it would be a little over my head still, and a problem would be finding people dedicated to do it.
Basically I had in mind just a team deathmatch between 3 teams or some goofy gametype. The style would play out like twilight princess or as close as possible.

Well before you go ahead, I'll ask some questions:

1.) Are you very good at mapping for UT3?
2.) Do you find that using the Twilight Princess models is original?
3.) Do you have a team of people willing to help?

If you can answer "yes" for all 3, then I believe it will work out :)

And I recommend you try using UDK instead of making a UT3 mod so then you can release it as a stand-alone game more people will be able to play it :)
