I've been using Zelda Classic for some years now (since at least 2002), but I've never finished working on a game...This is probably due to the fact that I've been in college and, after that, been in graduate school doing research and teaching.

Still, now I'm working on a new project with the program called "The Legend of Zelda: The Sacred Mission." I started working on it late last year (2007) and I'm using graphics from "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."

The story is as such (as taken from my Read Me):

"A century has passed since the defeat of Agahnim and Ganondorf at the hands of the Hero of Legends and although he tried to return while the Hero was away on his journey of self-fulfillment, the Hero of Light (a mysterious youth from another world) used the words of the Ancient Stone Tablets to learn Ganon's weakness and send him back into the netherrealm. The Kingdom of Hyrule and the surrounding lands have been peaceful ever since. However, strange monsters have begun to appear near Farore's Village in South Hyrule. The village elder sends a young man to visit Sahashrala II, descendent of the Great Sage, in the Eastern Temple, equipped with the "Hero's Sword," in order to discover the source of these strange happenings. The sage does not know the ultimate root of the evil, but suggests that they turn once again to the words of the Ancient Stone Tablets, which foretold of the return of evil upon their realm. He instructs the youth to travel to the nearby Glade Temple and seek out a fragment of a lost power, the Triforce of Wisdom, which had been broken up to ensure that the clutches of evil would no longer be able to get their hands on it. So, once again, a hero embarks on a quest of mystery and danger. What awaits him? That is for you to find out!"

As this is the first release of the game and I was a bit reluctant at first to release it, I'm sure there are some bugs in it (in fact, I know they are, although I don't think there are any that are game-ending). Also, there are some graphics that will be polished and what not before the final release.

All-in-all, I would say that the game is about 35% complete at this time.

Through the link that I will post below, you can download a .ZIP file that contains the .QST file, a Read Me (worth reading, especially since it tells you all the items you can get, how many Hearts and Heart Pieces you can get, etc.), and a current overworld map.


The game can be downloaded from:

Below you will find images from the game, including a map of Hyrule and surrounding areas at this point (sorry, it won't let me directly insert images):


















I hope you enjoy this game and I'd like any feedback you all can provide!
