Zelda Classic

Game Description

Return to Hyrule. Return to Where it All Began.

Not everyone has played The Legend of Zelda or its many sequels and spin-offs, but everybody has most definitely heard about it. The kingdom of Hyrule, Link the Hero of Time, the Master Sword, the Triforce, the evil Ganondorf, and Princess Zelda herself are all classic icons in the industry and they all began with the humbly-titled Legend of Zelda.
With Zelda Classic, you can now experience the mythical game that started it all over again or for the first time ever. You will take control of Link’s earliest incarnation, explore Hyrule, fight fearsome monsters, collect all manner of useful tools that will open up new doors for you, and face the porcine villain himself, just as millions of gamers have done since 1986
However, Zelda Classic does not just remake the old game; it expands upon it in many unimaginable ways. Whether you’re a longtime Zelda fan or are just getting your feet wet, Zelda Classic is not something you should ignore.

A Kingdom in Trouble

A shadow has fallen over the land of Hyrule. The forces of Ganon, Prince of Darkness, have invaded. Thanks to the Triforce of Power, Ganon is infused with enough strength to make him invincible. Fearing that he will come for the Triforce of Wisdom next, Princess Zelda shatters the relic and scatters its pieces into the darkest corners of the kingdom.
With the Triforce safely out of evil hands, a young hero named Link sets out to reassemble it and use its power to challenge Ganon and save all of Hyrule.

Take Part in a Magical Adventure

The Legend of Zelda was one of the earliest examples of a nonlinear game in the industry. Rather than proceed through a series of levels in a specific order, you were given the ability to free roam from the very beginning. Zelda Classic follows this rule to a tee, planting you in the very same world, with the very same enemies, and with that very same timeless spirit of adventure.

• Explore the expansive and nonlinear world of Hyrule at your own pace. Look for hidden passages and secret rooms abounding with treasure.
• Collect rupees from fallen enemies and use them to purchase new items that will help you on your quest.
• Slay the forces of Ganon using a variety of weapons. Swing a magic sword, fire a bow, plant explosive bombs, throw a boomerang, and more.
• Collect special Heart Containers to extend your life and take more hits.
• Gather an assortment of tools to make exploring the world easier. Use a candle to light up dark areas, a raft to float down rivers, a ladder to reach higher places, and more!

Learning the Controls

The controls of Zelda Classic operate under the template of the original game. The new keyboard controls are meant to emulate the functions of the NES controller, so you don’t need to memorize too many keys. The key mappings can be changed at any time, but the default controls appear as the following:

• Use the arrow keys to move around the map.
• The Enter key serves the function of the NES’ Start button. Press it to pause the game and access the menu where you can change the items you currently have equipped.
• The left Alt key substitutes the A button. This activates the item you have equipped in your A slot. Since this is typically where your sword will go, you’ll use this as your attack button.
• The left Ctrl key represents the B button. When pressed, it activates the button that is currently in your B slot.
• The spacebar plays the role of the select button. Once you acquire the map for a corresponding dungeon, you may press the key to give it a quick look and get your bearings.
• In addition, you may click your mouse anywhere on the screen. This will pause it and summon a contemporary-looking menu where you may opt to quit, reset the game, take screenshots, adjust the volume, or alter the controls to something that works better for you.
