What "Central Ocarina" Stands For

Central Ocarina is a name I came up with at the age of 12 years old. I meant it in the sense of all about (Central) Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask (Ocarina), since an Ocarina is a highlight of both of those games. Central Ocarina was shut down about 7-8 years ago because I was demotivated to work on the project after discovering Hylian Modding which seemed to be doing the same thing. However, as an adult, I miss the magic of these games, so I've decided I want to play through every single notable Zelda ROMhack and give them a home. I don't think Hylian Modding does enough for these projects anyways, and there have been a lot of questionable decision-making from that entity in the past which I strongly disagree with. Especially in regards to crooked moderators discriminating against ROMhacks and scamming creators out of real money! People say it's better now, but I don't know, and I'll probably never know for sure. If I do, I'll let you know if that's true or not.
Anyways, I hope to make this a nice little place for myself to showcase every N64 Zelda project in this universe. Some will get more spotlight than others depending on my preference for them, but in the end, I want to include everything. I intend to play through every single ROMhack on my emulator known as Project64 1.6.2. Each hack will gets its own page with a basic description, specs, screenshots, and a download link. Recordings of hacks will be on YouTube. A server to manage communications will be maintained on Discord. Hopefully I can grow this into a very big musuem-like website for N64 Zelda projects. Wish me luck and see you later!
