Linked to the Past [Quest Announcement]
"Linked to the Past"
A ZC 2.50 quest by Jamian
Get it from here: http://www.purezc.com/index.php?page=quests&id=372
Latest version is 1.79, please upgrade if you're still playing this :)
In case you are wondering, it is a completely original quest, I've chosen that name because the storyline involves Link travelling to the past, and also obviously as a nod to the great SNES LttP game, but it is not a remake or anything, it is a completely new quest.
When the story begins, Link has just become an adult and must pass three trials to prove himself worthy as a fighter. After he succeeds with the trials, everybody in the village is getting ready for a celebration, but then Ganon shows up and ruins everything. Guess who is going to be sent to fix things up?
This is a big quest that will keep you busy for a long time if you're enjoying it.
A few facts about the quest:
- 30 different dungeons
- 20-30 hours of gameplay
- Each dungeon is guarded by a custom boss, and there are also a few sub-bosses thrown in for good measure, so I hope you enjoy fighting bosses as much as I do
- Like my previous quests, it takes influences from several Zelda games but the biggest influence is still Zelda 1, so if you're a Zelda 1 hater, this is probably not for you
- Many optional secrets to find
