Cutest Zelda hack ever!!!ianmi2023-05-01Version 1.0

The cutest hack for LOZ NES-Famicom game, I surely recommend it!! If you want to play as Zelda to rescue Link, this is the hack you should play. :)

This hack has made me really fall in love with Princess Zelda.Vallenatero20152022-06-29Version 1.0

Honestly, I had never known the games of the Zelda saga, in fact, it is a saga that may not be as famous as the Super Mario saga, but when trying this hack, I realized that I was really falling in love with the Princess Zelda seeing her as a playable character and rescuing her hero Link. She looks really beautiful! That's why I recommend it. Thank you, Zynk Oxhyde.

Works with Redux hackUncle_Jo2022-06-01Version 1.0

I applied this patch over the Redux patch and ran around the overworld, it looks like it works fine.

I've beaten this game a ton of times, this patch and Redux adds a little spice I need to motivate me to beat it again.

Thanks for renewing this old gem.

You know, seeing this and Zelda II both having the protagonist and damsel roles swapped reminds me of both Donkey Kong: Pauline Edition and Super Mario Bros.: Peach Edition. I mean, I would've made a ROM Hack like this myself, but I never knew where to start. That, and it's a gorgeous hack. Maybe there's a "Green Ring" that substitutes the Red Ring so that Link will be wearing his usual green when he's saved from Ganon...

UPDATE: I've noticed that there's a lack of a patch for the "Gamecube Edition", a modified version of the original where the Engrish intro from the original game is somewhat corrected and a "-2003" is added next to the original copyright year (along with a further update in the NES Classic Edition where "peninsula" is spelled correctly).
