Description:
This hack came about out of frustration with the hack it's based on, Zelda Challenge Outlands for Legend Of Zelda on the NES.
This description is going to be rather terse as to not spoil anything but it is enough to say that no changes have been made to the dungeons, only the overworld, which has been considered by many to be needlessly restricting and over-complicated. Thus the overworld is easier to navigate and some items easier to acquire [but at a high price]. However, the number and strength of enemies have been increased to balance things out a bit and maintain a greater challenge than the original game.
This release is considered final. Should any bugs or flaws be discovered, which should be few if any[as this has been played through several times already] please send a PM and the problem will addressed ASAP.
The patch is in IPS format and LunarIPS is recommended. The ROM information is the same as the original patch, as is the readme. For more information on the original hack this is based on please follow the link below.
