No, requests are not allowed here. It even says so in the comment box's placeholder text. (Unless someone asks for suggestions, then it's fine.)

And yes, most locations in Hyrule are very difficult—or even impossible—to rip. From what I understand, much of the terrain is assembled using a complex combination of height maps and other tricks, while other things are assembled from lots of small pieces. However, unique buildings and rooms are stored as standalone models that could be ripped the normal way.

@Dark_Ansem Yeah, I know, I wasn’t really sure what to do about that… There was a question to be answered, I have no idea if that’s allowed, since that person is asking for a request. I don’t know whether that’s allowed or not, what you did isn’t. Hopefully an admin will get on and tell me, I’m very willing to follow the rules when I know what the rules are… it seemed rude to leave that question unanswered. I think the point of the no requests rule is to avoid cluttering the comments with requests that nobody wants to fulfill, and to keep people from pressuring unwilling users to do their work. I was doing neither of those, but if what I did isn’t allowed I’ll delete my comment and never make more like it. I’ve read a lot of comments and haven’t seen an issue with a circumstance like this where people ask for a request.

They are not and also, who are you again? A hypocrite nobody for sure since this is you like 4 messages below

"think we’d all be happy with anything you can manage to get for us, but I bet Hyrule Castle would be super well received. I’ve heard it’s pretty crazy hard to rip locations from Breath of the Wild though, and I doubt this is very different. Anyway, if you do decide to try to rip locations, we’re all very appreciative and happy with whatever you can do."

@Dark_Ansem No, there will never be a switch Breath of the Wild because the switch models are the exact same as the Wii U. Also no requests are allowed.

@QW2 I can't believe you ripped all the UMii assets, I can't thank you enough for that!

At long last, the models have been approved!

It’s great to see all of these models here. Fantastic job, Qw2 with all of the models, and to the staff for accepting them so quickly. The models all look amazing. 👏

@Qw2 thank you so much, your method of ripping is also perfect, they load up super nice in my viewer. I think you might be happy never seeing another Zelda model again, but could you do switch Breath of the Wild when done with TOTK?

&Qw2 Okay cool. Well either way you’re trusted now, it’s great to have trusted Zelda uploaders. Thank you!

@Enoch that was just because since it was such a long wait, Peardian quickly re-reviewed the two models that had issues before I re-submitted them (Purah / Tunic of the Depths).

I’m hoping this isn’t an against the rules request? If I’m wrong and this is going against the purpose of the comments, PLEASE somebody let me know because I don’t want to cause issues.

i woke up to this

Yeah, they said Qw2 did such a good job submitting they were able to check them really fast. By my count they only rejected three or four models out of the 268 original pending models.

Also? It sort of looks like Qw2 might have instant approval now, or at least fast approval… he’s added two models that seemed to bypass the queue.

When it comes to getting models here, that was fast.

OMG FINALLY!

any locations yall want ripped? i can do my best to rip them!

very nice!

Hooray! Thank you to everyone who helped to upload all these models, and to the staff who checked them! I appreciate all of you!
