Stuff to discuss with tomorrows skype meeting

We've been racking our brains trying to think of a story that's simple enough to suit the competition. We've come up with a few ideas and after a lot of discussion have grown fond of two in particular.

1. Pwyll and Rhiannon - I linked my ideas on this story below but the feedback we've got back has suggested people feel its very 'Zelda'ish. This is a problem as we don't want people thinking it seems unoriginal.
   
   
   
2. The other idea - Taking loose ideas from the second branch of the Mabinogion we've come up with this rough idea:
   

• The player carries the living head of his king and must carry it to his kingdom/plalace/something. The head could proove to be a humorous sidekick. Maybe you have to take the Kings head back to the princess who your character wants to impress?... bah ideas..
  
• Idealy we'd want to keep the 3d/2d mechanic.
• Puzzles might involve getting the head from place to place - character may have to put the head down to get to an area.etc

Lots of stuff to discuss but intial feedback from people seemed to favour the second idea. Theres no reason why we cant bring both ideas together but we'll want to keep things simple =P

...its been a long day..
