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


Some screenshots:

Thanks to the ZC developers and to anyone else who has helped in some big or small way to make this quest possible :)

@Jamian , did you have anything to do with your quest being featured on gbatemp?

Here is video that I played your quest. Youtube

@Jamian , did you have anything to do with your quest being featured on gbatemp?

Nope. While browsing the net I found by chance that they had uploaded it there, but it was without my permission.

Do you know these guys? I'd prefer if my quests were only featured on zeldaclassic.com and purezc.com. The reason is that I want to be able to make updates and have these two places where people can download the most up to date version, rather than have older versions floating around on the net.

Hi Jamian,

Just wanted to say that Im really enjoying your quests. Stranded was great. This is better!

Are you planning on doing a walkthrough?

[Jamian]

Thanks!

Not at the moment... I can answer questions if somebody gets stuck though. Walkthroughs may be in order, but probably much later.

[Joki81]

Level 3: Cursed River. Where do i find my first key?

NVM.... Very sneaky hiding the clue under the bush... And the key behind the tree!

Ive now got the red candle... been burning every bush i can see... No idea where to go next.... Can you help?

[Jamian]

Use the hookshot to access new areas.

[Joki81]

Havent got the hookshot yet. Where do i get that?

[Jamian]

Oh, ok. In that case, explore the past with your raft.
