So some questions are you aiming to earn money

So some questions: Are you aiming to earn money for this game you’re making or is it just for fun? That wasn’t clear to me from reading through the devlog. Is it okay if I use some of your NPC sprites for a fangame of my own? Maybe if not the one’s labeled “new”, the ones labeled “old” only? (I’m making a game in a game-making program called Zelda Classic, which doesn’t require a whole lot of coding know-how). And lastly, wishing much luck for you!

Both–it’s for fun, but yes, I’m also planning to sell it! :) I’ll be targeting itch.io and Steam from the get-go, and we’ll see from there. The FAQ should have some more info about that.

Awesome that you’re making a fan game! Zelda Classic is a pretty neat tool. For a few reasons, including how similar many of the old designs are to the new, I’d prefer my NPC art isn’t used elsewhere. My recommendation here is to practice creating your own, or find a buddy who likes to do art if that’s not your thing. I use a lot of references, but some of my favorites are the old Dragon Warrior sprites–check them out here! I’m also open to doing a commission if you’d like me to draw some for you.

I really appreciate you asking instead of just taking the old designs. Good luck on your game, and shoot me an ask if you have any questions. :)
