Wrong ROM specifiedsanityormadness2024-06-16Version 1.5

The rom which should be patched to is:

  • CRC32: 081e2b91
  • MD5: 230f62c994ff072a1434df6e65e2dbe0
  • SHA1: c00184846e8d1b18d3981630709200e8740b629c
  • SHA256: 171a51b1d3399022fe1317d958b3fdec4af8f13b8d59588a92d81dd12a63c2b6

Besides anything else, this is a z64 (byteswapped) rom. The rom currently listed in the description *will not work*, and I spent some time banging my head against the figurative brick wall trying to figure out what was wrong, including trying other roms.

Zelda's stolen giftsMAOT6662019-12-18Version 1.5

Spoilers Ahead:

So you start in Kakariko, after beating Ganon and starting off child Link again to save Zelda's stolen gifts, You go to Kokiri Forest and go into the lost woods and get your sword to retrieve one of Zelda's stolen gifts givin from Saria.

Level 1 was a nice montage of a Zelda I like type level, but if you didn't come prepared with sticks you'd have to leave and go back to get some, the big block puzzle you had to solve before the boss was a bit to much but rewarding after done

Wasn't a fan of the frozen cave in lake hylia, having to race Dampe to get the blue fire to melt the red ice, and if you wanted to go back inside the cave after leaving you had to go back to Dampe and get more blue fire, which I had to do to get some extra heart pieces.

Oh man, The Bottom of the Well and the Hell song which is song of storms just wouldn't light up for me, I like the little change arounds he did in this maze of BOTW, and liked the fact you got to use the Megaton Hammer as kid Link and fight Volvagia with it as the ending boss. But not til the Final when you got to fight Ganon as child Link

Was fun finding the heart containers in the overworld of places, and you knew killing all the enemies on screen in the overworld would give you a nice reward I think I 100% but not sure, and the nice adds he added from Majoras Mask into this, (Ocean skulltula house)

Some of the story dialogue didn't make sense, but wasn't that really important to me. Nice 3 dungeon to play in, and there's 4 different endings and I managed to find them all because this was nicely done and wanted to keep playing. It was well done hack for 2008 for Ocarina of Times 10th anniversary back in the day and can't believe I didn't play it til recently, really enjoyed playing it.

8.5/10

Great Hack- One of the bestIllumiNavi2014-07-19-

I really like what you did with the game, especially how you used the unused rooms and the alternate endings.

Fun Hack - Some spoilers aheadrasengan02013-03-14-

This is a fun hack for the game that switches quite a few things around a bit. The use of the Beta Heart pickups is pretty ingeniously done as well as the quests for them. One thing that troubled me is the amount of enemies you have to kill. Would have been nice to have an enemy count, but even without all quests the game is completable. The custom dungeons are pretty high on the difficulty scale - having to fight a powerful enemy with so few hearts early on. The customization is great, and the use of the beta rooms is well-done. Also, I was lost for a long while until I figured out what to do. After that, it was smooth sailing.

BIG con - even on the second file, you could cheat and access the debug menu form the pause menu. (I don't know if it was just my rom or if it applies to all the debug roms)

Overall, a 9/10 from me. I would give it 10/10 but the fact people have to be on top of themselves to resist the debug menu and cheat pulled it down.
