Richard (aka Dampe) creator of the long awaited fan-made 2D Ocarina of Time, died Friday in tragic car accident. Tales of the game had been floating around the internet for a long time and many people were looking forward to trying out his handywork. His goal was to create a faithful recreation of Ocarina of Time in an olde school 2D Zelda style. An official website and forums were posted so that Dampe and his fans could discuss the details ongoing project.

Dampe's official site has been taken down at the request of his family, but you can still read the touching memorials left to him from his many fans on the forums.

Rest in peace, Dampe. Your hard work and dedication to the game world will be missed.

Update: I regret to say that I posted the wrong name with this article earlier. Changes have been made to correct the mistake. Thanks.
