As long as they aren't asking for money or it clashes with Nintendo's own remake of it, and it's not Pokemon related, they're fine. Lots of remakes of Nintendo games out there or spins on the formula, people typically just focus on the ones that get shut down, but there are far more that are not. Hell, the Zelda NES Remastered fan game came out couple years ago.

[@adamb89]

@@ruekurei88 Negative. It doesn't matter who's right, it matters who has the money, and Nintendo will absolutely outspend anyone to sue them into the ground, for any reason, or even for seemingly no reason.

The idea is good indeed. Just the half tile placement of the spikes compared with a pit is not a good combination for beginners.

[@Terszel]

its a brilliant idea to add a little twist on the opening, can tell this guy has experience making lots of games

[@puck2694]

I disagree. As a tutorial area that should be used to teach movement and basic combat. The whole pushing puzzle AND switch puzzle is way too early.. Only seasoned players will get the concept that early.. and for those players you dont need a tutorial on how to play the game. You'd leave new players completely wandering around the world with no weapon because they won't have a clue how to pass the switch puzzle.

[@roblenzz7966]

Keeping the original misspelled "penninsula!" Awesome easter egg!

[@Shoeboxjeddy]

Just a note about the text. You have Link finding full Heart Containers in the field, which increases his hearts by one. This is accurate to the original game and fine. However, the text calls them "Pieces of Heart" which is later series terminology for an item that you need to collect 4 of before Link's hearts will increase. If you're going to call them Pieces of heart, you would need to change the icon to be only 1/4th of the container being full and obviously it not increasing Link's hearts until he finds four of them. The one Link buys in the video is more correctly labeled a Heart Container and not a Piece of Heart, so just keep the inconsistency in mind.

[@LloydEmpty]

Hi I just corrected it, the text was still set to its Pieces of Heart version.

[@Will_Forge]

I watched another video recently that explained the "Garden in a Box" thing in full detail. I always knew Miyamoto meant a "sandbox game" as we call it here, but they explained the fact that a garden in a box as a Japanese concept and art form is meant to use the least amount of parts to convey a realistic scene. The video went on to explain how they accomplished this to such a fantastic degree in the NES Zelda game that the sand and water and rock were each just solid squares with a hand full of secondary pixels randomly spread throughout, except not actually randomly spread out as they actually somehow convey the environmental material they're meant to portray with arguably the least amount of parts and complexity, like a garden in a box is meant to. Anyway all that to say that my impression here is that your world ruins that amazing and honestly mind blowing simplicity, but simplicity isn't everything and it looks gorgeous. It's a tradeoff, and your project is obviously not replacing the original and deleting it. I really look forward to Nintendo not shutting you down and suing you into poverty but instead to contract your game into their Nintendo Online games lineup as the first title to not appear on a classic console... I'll dream with you my friend. I'll dream with you.

[@petiteminish2863]

At first I thought the elevator in the dungeon was sick, but seeing an entire original sub-dungeon for the item redefined my definition of sick. I tip my minish cap to you.

[@ValkyrieTiara]

This is pretty good for a one man job! A couple comments, though: In Zelda parlance, what you are collecting here are Heart Containers. A Heart Container adds an additional heart to your health meter. A Piece of Heart is a different item; collecting four Pieces of Heart creates a Heart Container. Pieces of Heart didn't exist until the third game. Also bosses never drop Pieces of Heart, always Heart Containers. A game reaches the Beta stage when it is "Content Complete"; ie there is nothing significant left to add to the game (dungeons, enemies, systems, extra features, etc) and all that remains is the process replacing placeholder assets, making adjustments to content, systems, and gameplay, improving code, implementing music, dialog and cutscenes, squashing bugs, etc. The dungeons and areas and stuff don't have to be in their final forms, but they should all more or less be THERE. Obviously I can't see everything you've done from this one video, but it really seems more like it's probably in the Alpha stage, which is when you're past prototyping and have begin to develop content but the game isn't "complete" yet. Basically prototyping is when you're figuring out what to make and how, Alpha is the production of content, and Beta is when the game is "complete" but not "finished". If you can't play your game normally beginning to end (minus game-breaking bugs) you're not in Beta. Beta ends with the release version, which is always 1.0 (sometimes there's an update between finishing 1.0 and the actual release date, but that's rare for indies lol) I must say I don't hate the challenge rooms for the dungeon items! That's quite a nice way to add a little "something" to a remake without completely redesigning the classic dungeons. Though this one does seem to be quite long and confusing for the first dungeon; this seems more like a 3rd or 4th dungeon. I could say more about various things, but it's all nitpicks that can be easily cleaned up/improved later so for now I'll just say "fiddly controls are usually seen as a frustrating speedbump more than a fun challenge, don't overdo the careful walking segments" and leave it at that. Instead, I will echo other sentiments in these comments and say be very careful publicizing this further or releasing any more footage until it's good and ready. This really is good progress for a one man show, and I would hate to see it go under, but far lesser projects than this have been crushed under the heel of Nintendo's all-stomping boot. From one game dev to another, good luck friend!

[@reineke6595]

This is really promising. I'm usually not a big fan of remakes like this because people usually underestimate the effort that goes into it, while being constantly feeling the limitations of the original game. However, you guys seem to be mindful of all that and add extra stuff where possible! If you're open for criticism, here's two things that stick out to me: 1. The intro with the cave where you have to find the sword is fantastic, great idea. However, for a first challenge (and maybe even one that serves as a soft tutorial similar to what the Game Boy games did!) it's comparatively tough. Pushing blocks in a certain pattern and a tightrope walk with spikes is overdoing it a bit. It feels a bit like you're designing this game for people who played the original a few dozen times. That's totally valid, but I think the better approach would be to treat this game like the original - the first Zelda game anyone could have ever played. I think this will make for a much smoother, gradual experience. You're free to add extra dungeons towards the end that really challenge players! This applies to stuff outside the gameplay too (for example, you don't HAVE to keep in stuff like "EAST PENINSULA IS THE KEY" just because it was in the original and it became inadvertently iconic. It doesn't really add much to your game.) 2. The area underneath Level 1 with the water puzzle is mind-blowing, I really, really love it! That's a fantastic idea to play with expectations, as well as adding fun content for veterans. However, I think it would benefit from scaling down. It's such a vast area with not much in between that it almost feels out of place of the game. The fact that it's an open area and not "room by room" like the rest of the dungeon is already pushing it and one of the biggest beauties of the original game was that it was so small while bursting at the seams with content. I think the game would benefit from keeping that concept - both with the overall game and new areas like these. (Also, the tightrope walk parts don't seem that much fun. Falling down and starting over is often times pretty frustrating. Maybe a maze or something would be better?) Great stuff though, I'm really excited for this. Keep it up!

This video has been up for nine days and Nintendo hasn’t had it struck down yet? I guess no one told them about this video. 😆

[@apollocreed7668]

This is absolutely incredible. Excellent work!

[@RadiantPlayhouse]

This is looking good tho it probably will be at risk how common Cease and Desist is nowdays which it immimiat happen which is a good concept of what zelda 1 remake would look like

[@LarsHost]

I think this game would have more potential if you remove all Zelda things and just make your own universe

[@asheronwindspear552]

It worked for Tunic.

[@llamadrama1090]

that is what most fan games miss, just make it your own and nintendo can't do anything (as long as it isn't just a reskin)

[@Panguz]

Holy shyt it looks ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! You did this all on your own?! Bro you have a BRIGHT feature in front of you!!!!

[@Silverpup67]

Doing mini dungeon to get the sword vs giving the sword immediately like in the original was a genius move. It allows you to learn the game mechanics immediately

[@barbarictearemedy]

I love that you used the Windwaker sound effects. Instantly recognized them 😌

[@olivierschouteeten]

Géniaaaaa !!! J'adoooore !!! Étant un grand fan de Zelda !!! Tu as fait du super boulot à recréer le tout premier avec les détails, les musiques, bruitages, etc... et même des niveaux supplémentaires comme celui pour aller chercher l'arc, là, je n 'ai pas les mots pour exprimer mon admiration ! J'ai hâte d'y jouer 😃 Chapeau bas, Monseigneur !!!!

[@justinarnold1981]

I'm absolutely in awe. I was a die hard fan of the original - this looks beyond awesome! I do wish you woulda stayed more true to the original overworld music, but otherwise this is a slam dunk in every way. Well done!

[@misteral1083]

Fantastic! I would absolutely buy and play this - along with Link To The Past. I honestly don't understand why Nintendo haven't done this with all the old Zeldas. This is wonderful work. Does not feel like a fan project at all. Exceptionally well done!

[@mikedeering2104]

I'm a huge Zelda fan and I fricken love this. I would most definitely place this. I can tell you put alot of work and heart into this. Would love to see how you would do Final Fantasy from the NES :)

[@Scott93312]

Alright, I grew up with the Zelda franchise and I absolutely love what you've done so far. Keep up the amazing work!

[@MrBee-qd3ri]

You did such an amazing job! There are so many fun new features for people like me who would like to go back to the original and experience it with a modern twist. The first tutorial level is a fantastic introduction that doesn’t feel forced and starts with a funny gag. I wasn’t expecting the underground extension to the first dungeon, it made the palace feel so much more grand and expansive, very well put together. Aquamentus got pimped-up and got some new flashy moves as well! If you don’t mind a suggestion I would consider hiding the heart pieces behind secret entrances or more challenging mini dungeons to make them feel more valuable. The original was all about searching and exploration, it wasn’t easy to find the pieces. And possibly it could be a cool idea to hide the map from the player at first and let them discover/buy map pieces to reveal the world as they progress? I hope you’ll continue working on the project. It looks very promising!

PS as A game developer/systems designer in the industry, and a massive Zelda fan my entire life, this is SO inspiring. Thank you so much 🙂

[@BobbyBattista]

Well done! Nit: I think re-imagining is a more accurate title than remake, as the gameplay is substantially different in addition to the graphics. Please open source / share as much as you can. This is inspiring content, and I'm sure others want to contribute and/or learn more about how you did it :)

[@fatbetty8501]

Wind waker smoke graphics is a win, and makes my heart smile.

[@NitrousDragon]

Love this. While this is a little before my time/interest I'm really enjoying just watching it being played. 😊🤘🏻 100/10 Dude, don't stop.

[@Crangaso]

Absolutely beautiful. Maaaaad Props!

[@aprilliac]

When you see Chrono Resurrection in the afterlife, tell them that I miss them.

[@GrimRaph66]

That's so freaking cool. It's nonsense to me how Nintendo actually never did it. They prefere do a remake of Link's Awekening, OoT and MM instead of doing a remake of the OG. In any cases, it's so cool and I hope it's will be available to download soon. Kepp up the amazing work!

[@masamune2984]

Absolutely GORGEOUS. Nintendo, do the right thing for once: Either leave this alone, or hire them immediately.

[@silvercrystalct]

Honestly more of a re-imagining then a re-make however I love what you have shown so far.

[@bassguitarist2686]

So cool Lloyd, I always wonder if Nintendo will bring this adventure into modern times. This is awesome!

[@FinalMyle]

I love the addition to the dungeon to acquire the bow, very nicely done.

[@michaelreed9048]

Can't thank you enough for this. I hope Nintendo goes the other way and picks up you and your team for official development. Merci!

[@valrdjem]

This is some amazing work. I hope that you are able to complete your project. I would love to see it completed.

[@Miss_Rydia]

Love the creativity! I was expecting a 1:1 remake, but this is much better!

[@ScrewyGirl]

This is incredible. I wish I could play it! Well done! You are an amazing developer!

[@frostare]

Oh man, i love how this looks! Also LOL at the Ben file, nice reference!

[@datguy5818]

This looks amazing. Well done on such a project. 🙏

[@d3sigN8t3dDruNk]

This is like a perfect combination of LOZ and Link to the Past. I'm here for it. This looks awesome. I would totally play it. Well done and I can't wait to see more!
