Classic Gaming with Zelda Homebrew

Posted by Zonk on from the i-am-a-prisoner-in-the-dungeon-of-the-castle dept.

Belgarath writes "Zelda Classic is a free homebrew clone of the original Legend of Zelda for the NES. Additionally, it allows people to create their own zelda quests and games using the handy editor (called z-quest) included in the software. Until now only windows versions have been available but there are beta test groups for the Linux and Apple platforms."

  1. This is what I've been waiting for! by Emrikol · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've always wanted to re-play Zelda with new (more SNES-ish) graphics! The "Basic 1st" is what you're looking for.

    Oh...and apple? Why's this under apple?

  2. Already one out there by TupperTrenine · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is already a Zelda-clone MMORPG called Graal Online. It has a level editor and its own scripting language for in-game NPCs.

    Although I'm sure this is quite different... I am at school and cannot check it out :)
