Now in Russia there is a big PR-campaign to sale the Valiriya Spirande's book "Agramont" ("Аграмонт",
www.agramont.ru), distributed by publishing house "Eksmo"("Эксмо", www.eksmo.ru).Despite of numerous enthusiastic responses and applications of publishing house, and its environment, the book "Agramont" actually represents defective retelling a plot of one of the best videogames in history - "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)" (Nintendo 64). The rights to game entirely belong to Japanese corporation Nintendo (the official representative in Russia - "ND Videogames"(www.nd.ru, www.nintendo.ru)) and to the author of game - to the genius of the game industry, an idol of millions - Shigeru Miyamoto. This event has caused a storm of negative emotions from the "made" population of the country.
Actions of authors and publishers of the book "Agramont" not only are illegal to the attitude to Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto, but also offend feelings of the devoted fans of videogames, discredit a name of Russia in opinion of Japan and other countries. We are the "Guards of Hyrule". Here gather those people, for whom reputation of Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto is not listless.
 

OUR PURPOSE IS TO ACHIEVE VALIDITY. OUR ACTIONS ARE NOT DIRECTED AGAINST SOMEONE CONCRETE AND PUBLISHING HOUSE "Eksmo" IN PARTICULAR. WE CONSIDER, THAT PUBLISHING HOUSE "Eksmo" HAS MADE A MISTAKE AND SHOULD CORRECT IT IN THE SHORTEST TERMS. AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS OF THE BOOK "Agramont" SHOULD MAKE OFFICIAL APOLOGIES FOR THE FACT OF PLAGIARISM TO:


1) Corporation of Nintendo-Japan
2) the Author of the game - mister Shigeru Miyamoto
3) Company "ND Videogames"
4) Russian devoted videogames and Nintendo fans at the official site of publishing house "Eksmo" (www.eksmo.ru)

 

WE CONSIDER, THAT "EKSMO" - ONE OF THE BEST PUBLISHING HOUSES in RUSSIA. BUT NOBODY IS SAVED FROM MISTAKES. WE ARE OFFENDED WITH THE DEVELOPED SITUATION. WE SPECIFY TO AUTHORS AND THE PUBLISHER THEIR MISTAKES AND WE DEMAND RESTORATION OF VALIDITY AND APOLOGIES!

AGRAMONT

LEGEND OF  ZELDA

Agramont is  the magic world created during immemorial times by three heavenly fairies. It is preserved against a harm with power of Protective Stones.  This world is divided into provinces. In total there are nine of them: Village of Kokirs, World of Zoras, World of Gorons, Shelia-castle, fortress Gerudo, "Talon and Malon" farm,  Shelia-lake, Kakariko, the Lost Woods. In each of them there live people with their own traditions.  All provinces are connected by Mid-World - the wild territory not populated by reasonable creatures.

Hyrule
The game is set in Hyrule, a kingdom created long ago by three goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore. When  they left the land to return to the heavens they left a power that would grant the wishes of anyone who touched it (The Stones); the  Triforce.

She is  generally linked with the colors red and orange as well as  mountains, earth, and the element fire.

Gorons
   Inhabitants of a province World of Gorons.  At first sight they can be accepted for stones, studded with dark spots and cracks.  But touch such stone - and it will stand up straight, having opened a sight a lovely, smiling physiognomy. The Most part of time gorons spend, having curtailed as it is done in our world by hedgehogs.  These creatures have powerful but disproportionate constitution. On strong shoulders absolutely without a neck the small round head is fitted.  Long brawny hands reach almost the ground. And weak and thin legs are hardly appreciable under a greater round stomach. Golden thorns are flaunt at gorons heads. All this the ridiculous and good-natured disgrace looks at the world bulging cornflower-blue color eyes.  Gorons are the most ancient essences in Agramont, they were born still in those days when the spread lava of volcanos only has started to cool down,  forming the ground, and there were not any other creatures.

Gorons
The Gorons are large, brown, rock-eating creatures that vary immensely in size. They live in  Goron City, halfway up Death Mountain, an active volcano; and are led by Darunia.

Zoras
   Beautiful and laconic people of karstic caves.  High brawny figures as if are turned from a white marble.  The straightened shoulders and a proud bearing create illusion, as if each of them -  the descendant of an imperial sort so all of them are pride and fine movements. Black as plums, eyes are led round by a violet contour. Zoras almost do not blink.  The occipital part of a head is narrowed and bent from top to bottom, reminding a tail of a dolphin. Long outgrowths in the form of fins depart from elbows, as two wings. Fins and legs of Zoras are covered by azure-blue spots. Zoras can be under water for hours, holding the breath. New generations of Zoras appear time in hundred years from transparent spawns.

The guardian spirit of Zora's Domain is Lord Jabu-Jabu, an immensely enormous fish which has the third dungeon inside of him

Kokirs
   Eternally young children in green clothes,  inhabitants of Village of Kokirs. In the course of time do not vary at all externally.  They could be immortal, if from time to time they did not die from illnesses.  These eternally young little men arrange dwellings in hollows of huge trees. Each of Kokirs has a fairy. All Kokirs have the pointed ears. The green velvet dress on a waist draws a belt with big gold buckle.  Their suits are sewed from such velvet, everyone carry belts with gold buckles and soft boots from a brown leather.  Hair of Kokirs is usually different shades of green color.

Kokiri
The Kokiri are forest  children who were created by the guardian spirit of Kokiri Forest,  the Great Deku Tree. They never age and never leave the forest. All  Kokiri children have a fairy spirit who accompanies them throughout their lives. Link, the hero of the game, lives among them at the  beginning of the game. His closest friend is a Kokiri named Saria. Link is not a true Kokiri but a Hylian. As a baby, Link was orphaned in the forest, and raised by the Great Deku Tree, who sensed him to  be a child of destiny. The Kokiri Mido acts as the leader of the Kokiri children (mostly as the bully).

He still wears the classic default green (or "Kokiri") tunic and cap that appeared  in earlier games, and has a familiar variety of weapons that are  again used in later adventures. This is the same Link who appears in Majora's Mask. This incarnation of Link, like most others, is  left-handed.

It is not known, what has occured to him there. But it has returned therefrom obviously not in himself: began to eat any bugs, has moved on lake and has started to put different inconceivable experiments. The researcher hunts on lake game, takes out from it different bodies and stores them in glass flasks. It is possible to find flasks in his house with the multi-coloured fetid liquids, the rotten fish and bunches of seaweed. The Researcher has become impregnated with these aromas, that nobody can bear dialogue with him. Unique who is devoted in all ingenious researches of the Researcher - an octopus lived in an aquarium in his house. And, if it is good to look narrowly, will seem, that "person" of this house pupil reminds the person of the Researcher. Possibly, long years of close dialogue affected.

Lord Jabu-Jabu
Lord Jabu-Jabu VII is the patron deity of the Zora race and as such is worshipped by them. He is a giant fish (or, more likely, a whale, as he has no dorsal fins and a  horizontal fluke rather than a vertical tail-fin) with a hippo-like head that resides in the corrie lake of Zora's Fountain.

Link first  meets her in the belly of Lord Jabu-Jabu, the Zora's guardian for whom she dutifully tends, who had accidentally swallowed her and the  Spiritual Stone of Water the Zora's Sapphire while being fed.  The Zora's Sapphire is Ruto's most treasured possession, as it once  was her mother's, and she thus demands that Link carry her around  Lord Jabu-Jabu's innards and help her find it.

Like all Kokiri, she is unable to physically leave  the boundaries of the forest, so she gives Link the Fairy Ocarina  when he leaves for Hyrule Castle.
