Hack description

This patch ports the font from FDS Legend of Zelda to NES The Legend of Zelda, with two additional characters ("!" and "&") not present in the FDS font redrawn to match its style.

The US NES box showed this font on the screenshots on the back of the box, which may have been screenshots of the FDS version rather than a WIP port.

Great hack	MathUser2929	2016-06-18	Version 1.0
This is a hack that does what I've wanted since I was a kid. I remember seeing the different font on the back of the box when I was a kid and wishing to play that version. Now I finally can. Pretty easy hack to make but it still has a big enough impact to make downloading worth it. Pretty much like playing the FDS version without the loading time.
