Description:
A completely new Zelda II adventure!
Long ago, a curse was cast upon the land of Hyrule. This darkness gave rise to the minions of Ganon, allowing them to overrun Forests, Towns, and Meadows.
Deep within the forest lives our young hero, Link. Guide Link across the vast Kingdom of Hyrule, and defeat the ominous shadow!

- Dungeons!
- GFX!
- Music!
- New Spell!
- Experience Curve!
- More areas to explore!
- More treasure!
- More Zelda!
Easy Version:
- Enemies deal 1x damage.
- Start with 6 lives.
- Link’s sword is stronger.
- Life spell costs 50% less magic at all levels.
- Beginning town has a magic refill lady.
Hard Version:
- Enemies deal 2x damage.
- Start with 4 lives.
- Link’s sword is weaker.
- Life spell costs 50% less magic at level 8.
While the majority of the hack was done by me, there are new surprises to find thanks to the efforts of others. Trax helped out a lot with programming and created a new spell! He also helped with improving enemies to make them more fierce! Beware of the bots. :P Enjoy the new Overworld Music thanks to optomon. He composed it perfectly and it really enhances the Zelda feel!
To everyone that helped, THANK YOU! Trax, JaSp, HylianFox, ocw, Dwedit, Ice Ranger, Jigglysaint, Googie, optomon.
This is the biggest Zelda II hack, yet! Enjoy! :D

Warrants a Few changes immediately
Reviewed By: KenjiMinato on 02 Apr 2013When I loaded this game I said it looked good, loved the meter placement, but there are some gripes that have to be said, this game is next to impossible, I’ll keep it short.
Bad Moves:
1) Enemies’ XP drop is too low, this isn’t an RPG, I shouldn’t have to grind for a couple of hours before even entering so much as the trees on the overworld map.
2) Enemies in towns (although this is how I grinded) while not so bad are a ridiculous concept
3) Bottomless pits in caves where I have no access to light yet, you should save bottomless pits for when we can see them, I should not have to be jumping over and over and get lucky, which i’m not, I can’t make it to the first temple.
Get Rid of them!!
Overall - Yes and No, it warrants improvement, please make version 2.
I’m all for a challenge as any gamer worth his salt is, but a game that frustrates me in the beginning leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Good Concept, fail execution.
Recommended - No
