This looks awesome, the only thing I request is to not draw too much attention before release because we all know how that goes if Nintendy catches wind of this stuff
@@Blubbpaule dude I'm sorry but 2k views on youtube is not enough to catch nintendo's legal team's eye. They don't browse youtube constantly I mean it took years for project m to be taken down
This is honestly a fantastic idea. Taking the idea of the first Zelda game, being this open ended “just go explore and figure it out on your own” and modernizing that with some of the things introduced in later top-down Zelda titles, is a great idea for a remake! This looks awesome and I hope Nintendo does something like this one day.
And Finally here is the Beta!!! Im cant keep waiting to stream it. Thank you for create this awesome game! :D Dont worry about credits! I'll give u all of this.
Wow, excellent job!!! To make this game with it's upgrade in graphics, sound, music and gameplay is an incredible undertaking! And you did an extraordinary job of that!!
Awesome! Great work! I know you want to keep it simple, but maybe have various weapons, such as swords with different stats and abilities. Start with the Wooden Sword in a cave with no abilities, to the Kokiri Sword that has a 360 aoe spin arc, the white Sword which shoots a beam, and then the Master Sword that has 3X aoe the 360 spin arc (the longer you hold it before you release) or something like that. Each sword is a little stronger than the last as you go through tougher enemies. Just a thought. Again awesome work!
Wow how come you find the sword in a chest instead of having an old man say it's dangerous to go alone without an old man's warning I don't feel like I'm equipped to explore this world
Keep up with the work, and yes I do like the idea of this being related to the first Legend of Zelda game. Also its has some new features where as the switches glow when Link hits them with his sword, and the game is original. 🙂
Hey thanks, let's say that I feel obliged to add puzzles because in the dungeons of the 1st zelda it's a lot of fight against the monsters and we risk to get bored quickly.
This looks great! I love how the game looks so far and it's cool to see a take on the original game that isn't 1 to 1! I do have some words of advice though, a lot of the sound effects here are from other Zelda games. A good idea to help prevent a DMCA is to make sure that all the sounds you are using are made by your team! Also, it seems like in certain aspects, like the dungeon layouts, you are forcing them to be 1 to 1 replicas. If you want the game to really stand out from the original, go absolutely ham on the designs, while paying homage to the original! I can't wait to see where this project goes!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I have so many ideas and so little time, haha. If not, you're right, we'll try to change the sound effects little by little.
@@LloydEmpty Hey, it's no problem! I'm currently taking game development classes, so I KNOW how hard it is to make a fully functioning game. I wish you and your team the best of luck!
If you really want this to stay up, make this the the only video you have about the game, start a patreon for like 5 bucks, something pretty affordable, and then in order for people to see more about it or to get more updates they have to go to your patreon. It sounds shitty but it’ll be one of the most effective ways to keep this project alive without nin tendo shitting you down. Then if anyone leaks it, shut the patreon down and private any videos you have of this. I want to see this project finished!!! So many great projects nintendo has put a stop too. Idk how the ocarina of time remake in UE 4 is still up, super hyped about that one. Keep up the great work tho!
Hello Chris Applin, With perseverance, a lot of passion and above all an obsessive need to create something. Otherwise yes I am alone on the project, but I got help for the music and sound effects.
Sometimes the ruppees spawn in the environment so they aren't reachable but that's just a minor thing, otherwise the game is really amazing ! Everything is well done ! It's also funny you included sound effects from different zelda games like wind waker, ocarina etc, it's cool ! What did you use to make the special visual effects like explosion etc ? Niagara ?
Yes, you guessed it. Niagara is simply excellent, thanks again to the youtubers without whom I wouldn't have progressed. As for the ruppees , the physics is a bit temperamental.
Is the close-but-not-quite-right music in place here because of youtube's copyright detection system? It would be great if the final version has actual Zelda music instead of this.....kinda sorta similar music.
Hi, we just wanted new music inspired by the original Zelda themes (I'm the composer). Copyright is one of the reasons: that's at least one point where we cannot be bothered. I get you like Zelda original themes better, which is highly understandable ; but I hope that if you play the game you'll also like my music ;-) There's a lot of hidden references of original Zelda themes inside and I really enjoyed composing those themes.
@@alcibiademinel It's just a little jarring because you're still using actual Zelda sound effects, but sound-alike music. The sound composition here is on point and is well done. My issue is that it's just jarring. Either replace all the sound effects with sound-alikes too or replace the music with actual Zelda music and keep the Zelda sound effects too.
Amazing job, well done. I was wishing that Nintendo would have done this for the first Zelda for the anniversary, the way they remade Link's Awakening. You have done an incredible job, and made a wish come true. Thank you,
Looks fantastic! Is this the final visual style? I would love to see what it looks like if you lean more towards the toon shader aesthetic (wind waker) it will stand out as its own top down rendition of zelda! Right now it sits somewhere between Links awakening remake and windwaker style. Music is also wicked! Although it doesnt feel quite like a nes remake yet, i think that might be a good thing!
Hello rorcarrot1, Thanks a lot for your feedback, I like the style quite well now, although there are still some flaws, aesthetics is not my speciality so I'm tempted to leave it at that for now. 😏
Here are some things to consider: -the Serkan Toto tweet about a shadowdropped Zelda 1 remake by the end of this year -this getting put out immediately Either just bad luck or just a horrible sense of timing. You fellas should get this downloaded immediately.
This looks great. Lifting the sword and shield sound effects from the games was a cool idea. It definitely helps with immersion. It would probably be a good idea to take this vid down though, in case Nintendo learns of the game's existence. Shadowdrop the finished game when its ready, so that Nintendo won't be able to stop it, even with a cease and desist. Once it's on the net, there is no going back, so the best version to put out there would be the finished one.
i mean if you change up the items and theme a bit nintendo cant do anything about it like the play style where you explore and have ability checks at points in the game to make sure you have certain items remember super adventure adventure island for the snes masterpiece
i tried this its awesome i wish there was more of it. please finish this game devs. i really wanna play the full game. if ya need beta testers id be glad to help ya make this game the best it can be. i love this game its sooo good!!!!!!
This looks amazing! I wish Nintendo would actually make / remake a Zelda game like this. (Either A Link to the Past or The Legend of Zelda - nes). A whole new Zelda in the style of' LTTP' , would be so awesome. I really don't understand why they don't. I purchased 'Breath of the Wild' but, I just can't really get into it, with the open world style. I've always loved a 'Link to the Past'. The same with the N64 Zeldas. lol. I'm going to play this 'remake' when I can!
This is brilliant and Shiggy Miyamiggy will certainly take this down and all your work will have been for naught. This is the tragedy of existing in the same universe as the Nintyrant
wow is that real That looks incredible! I'm a huge Zelda fan and I just wanted to play all the parts in the right order and with the best graphics and now I found this fan remake. Is the game fully playable? Can you do it by playing? is it 1 to 1 like the original or did you change something? Can you maybe add a German language? And 1000 thanks for your hard work.
Just looking at this i see good potential. I could also see some old school dungeons with two floors like Link to the past but sticking with the classic look. Maybe the ladder would have another purpose. Just a random thought but it still look great.
Hey BlueFlamePrince, thanks for your comment, I'm just working on a more elaborate dungeon room, with several levels of height and the camera moving in the large room.😁
I'd LOVE to play this, but I'm on a MacBook. This was my favorite game as a kid, followed by Mike Tyson's Punch Out [ which would also be a ton of fun to remake ;) ]
this is amazing, sadly nintendo will most definitely strike this down and send you a cease and desist mail, i'm gonna download it in the morning and try and preserve it
In the links awakening remake for switch, when you get in a location like mabe village, it shows the name,it would be cool if you add that Edit: can you add eyes to link's model? It will feel more alive
Way better then all those crappy unreal engine hyper realistic OOT "remakes". This actually has soul, and feels like a proper Zelda game. with allot of polishing, this could be absolutely incredible.
I hope the RwanLink isn't considered one of those who does soulless recreations cause that guy goes above and beyond the original even if it's just for recreating the maps and not necessarily an actual remake.
@@firionkaiser8291 They are the prime offender lol. What they do is throw a bunch of "realistic" assets into a blender, with a shiny looking plastic Link model, and artificial over the top shiny lighting. None of what he does has any consistent aesthetic. The original N64 game and the 3ds remake look ten time better, because they have consistent design.
This looks awesome, the only thing I request is to not draw too much attention before release because we all know how that goes if Nintendy catches wind of this stuff
It's already at 2k views, it's already to far spread for nintendo to not catch wind of it. Releasing a beta at all with a video was a death sentence.
@@Blubbpaule dude I'm sorry but 2k views on youtube is not enough to catch nintendo's legal team's eye. They don't browse youtube constantly I mean it took years for project m to be taken down
The Algorithm suggested it to me, having not searched. It's doomed
@@SlocumJoe7740 well I searched for it but I had to scroll pretty far

Man... I really want a Legend of Zelda remake. Everything from the perspective of 10 year old Link on this grand adventure.
Why use the Xbox controller when you can use the Nintendo controller.
Here are some things to consider:
-the Serkan Toto tweet about a shadowdropped Zelda 1 remake by the end of this year
-this getting put out immediately
Either just bad luck or just a horrible sense of timing. You fellas should get this downloaded immediately.

Oh my God. It's gorgeous
Did this project ever finish/release?
amazing!!! really like the visuals!
Why isn't the overworld music the normal theme?
Hi, because we wanted new music (I'm the composer), inspired by the original Zelda themes. There's a lot of references to Zelda themes in my music.
Incoming angry Nintendo lawyers in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....
I'm slightly disappointed that when getting the sword there wasn't the old man and the classic " it's dangerous to go alone take this"
i tried this its awesome i wish there was more of it. please finish this game devs. i really wanna play the full game. if ya need beta testers id be glad to help ya make this game the best it can be. i love this game its sooo good!!!!!!
gran trabajo espero poder ver el completo, y mostrando tu trabajo ytodo mi apoyo a ti como creador
Wow this is the only thing that could make me want to play the original these days lol
So incredibly impressive!
so there's a minimap for dungeons but not the overworld?...........why dude? like.....why??
Hi, It's not the final map, I'll make the minimap for the real zelda nes map.

Nothing will ever beat wind wakers' menu sounds!!!
Is that Wind Waker sound effects i hear?
Partly yes but not sure if tonight is definitive.
Hope one day could be on mac! Excellent work!!
I will need a mac to compile the project on this platform. 😅
This is brilliant and Shiggy Miyamiggy will certainly take this down and all your work will have been for naught. This is the tragedy of existing in the same universe as the Nintyrant
In the worst case I have gained competence and the source code will still be there and can be exploited in many ways.
Better than N. would remake first Zelda! Professional work! Congratz!
Awesome, is this a single man project? I wish you all the luck.
Looks and sounds great! My cousin, who looks just like me, is downloading this rn 😉

how do i connect to the controller? i not getting it
Hopefully nintendo doesn't strike this down. Be careful.
Can you play this all the way through?

Very cool!
