There's a lot of you following the project now, so I'll be transparent on what it actually is and how things are going to be structured. 🧵
This is a classic game honoring & reimagining the first 30 years of Zelda. It's the "Sonic Generations" of this series. It's ambitious.

So, Zelda's 40th anniversary is on February 21st, not sure if I'll be able to prepare something for it. Would love a new compilation vid, but no promises. I might shift focus to one of the side projects for the remainder of the year, wanna have something out sooner than later.

Aversion to fangames is incredibly baffling considering fanart & fan-remixes are ever so present and widely accepted. I'd even argue that fangames are fanart, with so few even considering monetization.

This game will allow magic to be used as long as the meter isn't empty. It may deplete faster with some higher costs, but a speck will suffice to attack.

To those confused when I'm talking about "Context Actions", they're what overwrite item inputs under certain circumstances. In this picture, "Swimming" and "Diving" are considered context actions, so they are highlighted differently.

Frankly, no one should've been able to play this game, how I managed to pull this release off in only two years is seriously beyond me. Lightning in a bottle I'll never be able to replicate, design and time-wise.
I still boot it up now & then and feel a vast array of emotions.

Since Remote Bombs don't use fuses to detonate like regular Bombs do, I thought "Why not allow them to be used underwater?"
...So that's what I did 💥🌊

Having the Sword & Shield not take up a slot was very important to me for expanding the unintended freedom given by the gameboy titles. Official remakes would lock them to their own button, but I wanted to give a choice.
Keep them on at all times, or change if needed.

Quickly swap between items with a tap of right joystick! Left/Right to select your slot & Up/Down to swap that item 🔁 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign

Equip the Charge Ring to significantly reduce all charge times for items & attacks. Hit faster, stronger to gain the upper hand! 🗡️🏹 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Is there anything you dislike about the Gameboy Zelda games? What changes would you make? Just genuinely curious.

Equipping the Slam Ring replaces throws with powerful strikes, now supports the new enemy-to-enemy collision damage. Slamming Bombs also fastens their detonation cycles significantly. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign

Think I need a pause, my recent work has been sloppy and haven't been proud of it. Health is also worsening for some fuckass reason and it doesn't help.
