Personal review

Remember how hard the original was without maps and guids? The 4th quest (usually launched after the 2nd), is much harder than the 1st and 2nd combined. Then the 3rd quest (usually played last), is even harder. And there's a 5th quest.

Description

An unofficial near pixel perfect recreation of the original NES classic plus additional quests. Also includes an editor; using the Zelda Classic Engine to make completely new games in the style of the original game, Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening. Engine and game creation tools of the editor are extensive enough to create platformer games and other games that don't resemble any Zelda games at all.

Upon finishing the 2nd quest with 16 hearts, players will begin the '4th' quest (because its easier than the 3rd). To play the 3rd quest after the 2nd, complete it with fewer than 16 hearts. Beat the 3rd quest without dying to play the 5th quest. Beat the 5th quest with at least 1 death to play the 4th quest.

The frequently updated versions often do not get corresponding Linux versions. Quests sometimes do not work correctly unless they are matched with the version they were created for. Generally, only the latest Linux version is available from Armageddon Games and this is located in a hard to find spot on the site (and changes). Despite this, all Quests can be played on Linux once a compatible version of the player is downloaded by whoever may be providing it currently on the internet.
