Description:
HELLWALKER By MetalMachine
This is a complete “full game” hack of the Legend of Zelda, including:
- Title/Intro/Outro/Credits
- Overworld
- Dungeons (every dungeon even has a unique theme)
- All graphics
- All music
- Many sound effects
Some things to know:
- The story is not Zelda universe-related at all.
- This should work on any hardware or emulator that runs vanilla LoZ.
- This is intended to be difficult. Not crazy hard, but challenging.
- There are a handful of in-game mechanics new/different from vanilla LoZ.
- The up+a sequence, saving, retrying, continuing work as normal.
- Block-clipping and screen-wrapping have been patched out.
This hack is very large and is not intended to be a quick play. It drastically transforms LoZ into what amounts to be a completely new game, using an enhanced version of the LoZ engine.
Enjoy!

A Beautiful "Total Conversion"
Reviewed By: PYoshi on 30 Jul 2022This hack has an incredible amount of effort put into it. All the new graphical assets & music fit well with the game’s theme. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the original Zelda and wants a challenge.
