It Works With Other Hacks!Link Pink Stink2021-03-01Version 1.0

A much needed addition to the original game. What's great about this hack is that it also works with the other hacks featured here! At least the ones that I combined them with (first patch whatever hack you want to the original Zelda II game, then apply this Gave Over hack last).

From my testing it works with the following Zelda II hacks:

Journey of Day Shadow of Night Ressurection of Ganon Nightmare of Ganon Decline of a Kingdom

It makes these games a lot more enjoyable because it is a huge pain to walk all the way from the starting palace to whatever palace you died last, thank goodness for this hack!

The Way it Should Have BeenPowerPanda2018-04-12Version 1.0

I will never understand how this was not a part of the original game. I've been wanting to do a replay of Zelda II for a few years now, but didn't want to until someone took the time to make this hack. I can't believe it didn't exist until 2018!

I can verify this works on every dungeon. It fixes the main problem with this game. Don't do a casual replay without this!

NOTE: I combined this hack with Tog's "Easy" patch. The combined effect is a bit TOO easy, since you get 6 lives, more health/strength, and the ability to continue anywhere. I'll be editing Tog's patch to bring it back to 3 lives.

Always Great Workultimaweapon2018-04-10Version 1.0

This was a much needed addition for Zelda 2, and Njosro nailed it with this hack. I ended up using his update to improve my own Zelda 2 hack.
