playing original legend of zelda in zelda classic

[scarabini]

Hi,

I downloaded Zelda Classic to my windows xp machine. My intention was to use it to play the original Legend of Zelda. I dont know however how to load the appropriate quests. Can somebody tell me how can I lplay the original Legend of Zelda in Zelda Classic (or if it is not possible let me know too).

Thanks

After you open ZC, make a new name file (press Enter or whatever button you have set as the Start button) and then select it (again using Enter/Start) after you are done making it. ZC is automatically set to let you start the original first quest if you follow that.

If you would like to jump to the second quest, use the name ZELDA (yes in caps) and there is also the ZC Official Third Quest by Alphadawg, you can use ALPHA to start that one.

The first zelda game is there waiting to be played,just regester a new name and press start.

Thanks. But I guess there is a problem with Zenda Classic and Windows Xp. The graphics appear cut with one third of it againt the right side of the screen and the rest outside of it (cant see it)

check your video settings. i'm running xp on both machines and both play zelda classic without a problem.

Ok I start ZC, do File->New and there is only one choice [New Default (Can't Change)]. Choosing this doesnt do anything. Then I did File->Open and it has the 1st,2nd and 3rd quest. When I choose the 1st qst, it asks me for a password which I dont know. Also for the 2nd quest I tried ZELDA but didnt work.

Becuse he lied, you donot put them in caps!And yes the first 3 quests are passworded,but don't feel bad it's passworded to everyone but,pantom menace and some admin's/staff of zc and agn.

But the example quests are open and there the same as the other passworded quests but without the pass.

Also if you need tilesets go to purezc.com.

I know what your problem is. You are trying to open the quest with Zquest. That program is for editing quests. You need to use the file called Zelda-w.

Thanks Russadwan! You are right on. I am sorry for all the confusion.
Things do work fine now. Thanks everybody

DID lower case zelda, and alpha, work for you?
