Hack description

My goal in this hack was to answer the question: if Zelda 1 was released today,
what would it look like? There may have been gameplay improvements, but I'll
leave those for much more talented programmers. I've set out to fix the parts of
the localization and presentation that are likely to have 21st century gamers
scratching their heads.

Changes include:
- As of version 1.1, a completely new font that better fits the setting
- Re-localized text to better reflect the original intent in elegant English
- A re-vamped intro story and treasure scroll
- One-rupee pickups are now yellow instead of flashing blue
- Some sprites (Link's shields, gravestones, and Darknuts) were updated to better match the designs in modern Zelda games
- The Zelda logo and sword on the title screen are redone

As of version 1.1, this patch also includes "Heartless Automap" by gzip and snarfblam, which replaces the nearly useless grey map square in the overworld HUD with a detailed map that is updated as you explore.
