Zelda - The Legend of Link (v3-12-2020)

http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=5372





PATCHES MUST BE APPLIED TO THE "PRG 0" ROM of The Legend of Zelda





NOTE ON REQUIRED SIZES FOR MMC5 CARTRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

1024kb/1mb PRG-ROM

1024kb/1mb CHR-ROM

32kb SRAM

NOTE ON FLASH CARTRIDGES

UPDATE 2-17-2020. The N8 Pro Everdrive can now run my MMC5 titles. It is the only flashcart to date that can do so.

https://krikzz.com/store/home/57-n8-pro.html



The N8 Everdrive uses 512kb SRAM chips for it's PRG & CHR ROM's. My game will not work on this device. The PowerPak is in the same boat as the N8 Everdrive. My game will not work on that device either. Unless Krikzz, the creator of the Everdrive devices, releases a new version of the N8 with larger chip support, then this game will only be playable on real hardware via an official MMC5 cartridge.

NOTE ON EMULATORS VIA PC

Zelda - The Legend of Link has been confirmed to work properly, on the following PC emulators latest builds. "FCEUX" "Nestopia" & "Nintendulator" For the correct/best results via PC, I strongly suggest using any of the 3 emulators I've mentioned.

NOTE ON EMULATORS VIA GAMING CONSOLES

The MMC5 "Mapper 005" is a sophisticated/complicated mapper, and alot of NES emulator ports for gaming consoles do not emulate that mapper correctly/or at all. However, the most consistent emulator port to demonstrate the correct results for emulating the MMC5, are ports of the emulator "Nestopia." I recommend using the launcher known as "RetroArch" for whatever gaming console you are using, and use the "Nestopia" core that goes with "RetroArch" to play Zelda - The Legend of Link. You will get undesired results trying to play this game on ports of "FCEUX" or other NES emulator ports for gaming consoles. I'm making note of this to stop users from saying the game is corrupted or broken, the game is not corrupted or broken, it is the lack of MMC5 "Mapper 005" support for whichever NES port the user is using.

New Info Bar



As you can see, the outworld map has been removed. what you see, are 3 boxes that can store any type of useable inventory item. This is to eliminate the constant entering/exiting of the inventory menu to swap out 1 item. Now you can have 3 items at once to choose from during in-game play!



Link



The hero of legend!



Blue Shield



Deflects small attacks, such as arrows & rocks



Red Shield



Deflects some larger attacks, such as enemy fireballs & wizard blasts



Carefull For Holes In The Ground



Ahhh.......



Roc's Feather



This item allows Link to jump. Try it over holes!



Zelda



The princess of Hyrule!



Old Man



You will encounter him throughout the game. Sometimes giving you either items, advice, etc.



Old Woman



You will encounter her throughout the game. Mostly as a seller of healing.



Shopkeep



You will find him running various shops throughout the game.



Sword



A typical sword, gets the job done to a degree



Master Sword



The infamous Master Sword! Has increased damage towards enemies, and even emits a magical zap when you're at full health!



Tempered Sword



The Master Sword in it's tempered form! It provides the maximum damage towards enemies. It's The most powerful blade to ever be wielded by the hero of legend!



Boomerang



This item can stun specific enemies, and can also attach to certain items, and return back to Link.



Magical Boomerang



Performs just the same as the boomerang, only now it can travel the entire length of the screen.



Bomb



Your typical bomb. Great for blowing up enemies, and blocked caves, and even cracked dungeon walls! BOOM!



Bow



Allows Link to shoot arrows at enemies



Arrow



These are your standard arrows.



Silver Arrow



The ONLY weapon to destroy the evil wizard Ganon!



Hookshot



This item allows you to reach certain areas you normally cant reach. It can also stun enemies like the boomerang, and it can also obtain specific items and return back to Link. BOING!



Longshot



Just like the hookshot, but can launch much further.



Ocarina



This item allows Link to travel back & forth at will, from the Light & Dark Worlds of Hyrule!



Bottle



In order to purchase potions, you need to have an empty bottle. Find this bottle, and you can drink up!



Blue Potion



When you drink this, it will fill your health and your magic meter.



Red Potion



Same function as the blue potion, only when you drink the red potion, you will be left over with the blue potion.



Pegasus Boots



With these boots, you are able to run very fast! You can open a blocked cave entrance, by ramming into it. And, when you have Roc's Feather, you can jump even further than you ever could before!



Hover Boots



An enhancement to The Pegasus Boots. With The Hover Boots, they give Link the ability to walk on air over any pits/holes he comes into contact with! But be warned, they must be equipped within the B button box, or else Link will plummet to his demise as before.



Hammer



The only item that can slam down any wooden pegs, that Link will come into contact with.



Lantern



This is the only item, that will allow you to see within dungeons. When you obtain the lantern, you will then obtain the magic meter. While you continue to illuminate the dungeon, your magic meter will slowly deplete. Once your magic is depleted, you will no longer be able to illuminate the dungeon, unless, you refill the magic meter with a potion.



Red Lantern



With this lantern, you will only need to use it once to illuminate a dungeon. However, when you exit out of a secret stairway from within a dungeon, you will need to illuminate the dungeon again just one time. This item has infinite magic power.



Pendant of Quake



This item consumes your entire Magic Meter. Lightning strikes Link's sword, then he performs a jump flip, and stabs his sword into the ground, causing a massive earthquake, stunning & killing all enemies that are currently on the screen. This item can even unearth a certain entrance.



Outworld Map



A very important item to have in your inventory! Once you obtain this item, you will be able to keep track of everywhere you have walked within the outworld. Again, this item will only display where you have walked, once you obtain it. You can also view where the 9 dungeons are within both the Light & Dark worlds of Hyrule.



Flippers



With the flippers, you will be able to swim through very deep waters! Press the A button to give Link a brief burst of speed. Press & hold the B button, to swim under water to evade projectile attacks, and to even swim underneath any Zora's blocking your path. BUT, watch your air gauge, don't stay under water too long, or your heatlh will deplete quickly, and you will evidently drown the hero of legend!



Blue Ring



When you have the blue ring, you will take less damage from enemies. Your tunic color, will remain the same lovely shade of green.



Red Ring



With the red ring, you will take even less damage from enemies! The toughest you can ever get in the game! And again, your tunic will remain green.



Heart Container



There are only 8 of these in the entire game. The only way to obtain these, are to slay the 8 dungeon bosses guarding the triforce pieces.



Heart Piece



There are only 20 of these in the entire game. 10 are located in the Light World, & 10 are located in the Dark World. Collect 4 at a time, and you will increase your heart container count by 1.



Heart



Fills one empty heart container



Rupee



A blinking rupee, is worth 1 rupee



5 Rupees



Pretty self explanatory, it's worth 5 rupees.



Key



The traditional key. But, they are not just solely for dungeon use...



Fairy



Located throughout all of Hyrule, they can fill your heart containers partially, or even fully.



Here are some of the various enemies, Link will encounter.



Tektike





Octorock







Moblin





Armos





Lynel





OLD INTRODUCTION NOTES



Well, since October 2011, I've been messin around with The Legend of Zelda for nes. I honestly have had no plan, and no idea on what im doing with this game. I've been basicly using this experience as another teaching tool for myself, in writing/modifying asm. I never intended to make a hack out of this rom, but it's kind of taken a hold of me, and I've been haing great success in doing asm on my own. I'm not saying yes, but i'm not saying no as well, to the thought of making a full fledge hack of this game.



I'd like to share 2 videos, just a small portion of what i've done to the game.



The things that have been done to this are strictly on an ASM level, not a graphic level. I only have Windows 7, and therefore, cannot use any of the current Zelda level editors, so I have to do everything by hex. If I wanted to, I could literaly design the game any way I want by hex, but I will not do such a thing until i come up with a rough draft on how I want the game to be.



I hope you like the videos/asm that i've done. There's other things that I've created and have ideas that are in the process of being created, but I'd like to keep those to myself. :-p



The Pegasus Shoes





The Boomerang





The Hookshot





Enjoy. :-)
