This hack is truly a brand new Zelda™ experience and one that is unrecognizable next to the original game. This hack had a lot of thought put into every aspect of it. Months of editing, testing, and revising have been put into this project, as this is the final Zelda 1 hack that will be released by The3Dude. Because of this, he poured his heart out for this final Zelda hack, so that it can truly outshine his other hacks.

MAJOR NOTE - This hack is very non-linear, as the dungeons are not numbered in quest 1. The dungeons can be beaten in numerous random orders. Any region can be explored from the start, and players can get a good advantage early on by venturing to certain areas first. The second quest is the total opposite and is entirely linear. There is no possible way to beat the dungeons out of order. Just know that if Darknuts or Wizzrobes are seen in the beginning, then save that dungeon for after the others. Play wisely, exploration is rewarded.

List of Changes:

• Three difficulty modes (as of v1.1)
• Completely revised graphics that push the NES limits and are almost 16-bit like
• New regions such as Lava, Snow, and Underwater
• Brand New Overworld and Secrets
• 18 brand new dungeons based on certain aspects of the hack
• Secrets have minor visual queues now (Bombable walls have cracks etc.)
• NEW ITEM! (Heart Pieces)
• NEW SOUND EFFECTS! (Nearly all are new)
• NEW MUSIC! (To an extent)
• UP+A save trick changed to just pressing Select as Player 1
• A very accessible first quest, and a challenging 2nd quest

CHANGELOG 1.5 -

Political Reference Removed:

A multi-reaction political reference was causing commotion! It has been removed. Changed the prices of the milk in the shield shops for all modes. Added the whirlwind/wave sound to a screen that was missing it in hard mode.

BONUS - There is a “help and hints” text document included in the zip.

BONUS 2 - There is an “Anti Noise” patch that removes the grass texture.

NOTE- The included manual has the full prologue, hints for item locations, info on damage pointers, and special techniques.
