Excellent Zelda 3 Hack Released

Very Very Awesome ! ! !

edit: this is definatly something that you don't see all too often now-a-days.

Zelda hacks... no, you don't see many. Especially for ALttP. I'll have to give it a try.

There are tons of Sonic hacks out there though. Anybody given them a try, out of curiosity?

if anyone works out how to get to sahasralah then PM me...

also USE SAVESTATES... i had a look at dying after i got the candle and some bombs... and i started back at the start with nothing.

and the castlegrounds is fricken tedious untill you get your sword.

and taking the princess outside does not mean out side the building via the main entrance 😉

if anyone works out how to get to sahasralah then PM me...

He's in one of the ships at the docks.

Looks excellent. This will keep me busy for awhile. :kitty:

Well, this looks amazing.

Amazingly complex, that is. It's practically on another planet, for those who don't know how to patch ROMs. While they obviously don't want to give anyone the full ROM, they could at least provide some sort of means of patching it for those who do possess the ROM.

.. EDIT: .. Eh, nevermind. :blah: It was surprisingly easy. :sweat: Just google that program he mentions, and it leads you right there. Download, unzip, doubleclick Lunar IPS.exe, then select the .ips file you had hopefully unzipped, then choose the ALTTP Rom, .. .. it's no problem at all.

The unfortunate problem with this hack is that the dungeons commit every possible crime against good quest design and a fair challenge. The overworld and dungeons were handled separately by two authors, explaining why the overworld is awesome and the dungeons are hell.
It's so bad that the guy who did the overworlds has already begun working on restoring sanity to the dungeon side of the quest, in fact. (Though it could take a while, as the only available LttP hacking tool in existence is infamous for randomly ruining various bits of the game for no reason while editing.)

I just got this yesterday and died in the first dungeon. Frikkin' hard for a first level. Though I do like a challenge so I can't complain just yet.

i liked the challenge altho the monologue needs lots of work.

also i asked HOW TO GET TO SAHASRALAH.... i know where he is.... but how do i get there? i got to some docks but all there was was a diving platform [dock just beneath the potion shop]... yay thats gonna help me tons without the flippers.

also... i apparently forgot to get the boomerang.

i seriously hope they don't change the dungeons or overworld to super dooper mega easy -.-' as i've found the challenge very very nice and unique.

Franpa, talk to NPC's in the village to find out where you can get "flippers".

I absoltely love the dungeon difficulty (finished 2 so far).

ok, now that i knew the flippers were required... i found and spoke... now heading to somewhere :P (im gonna see if i can go through the church and get the boomerang -.-' if not im gonna be annoyed :P

What hack is this, Parallel Worlds? I've been meaning to play that for the past few days, but forgot to download it. Heh...

Franpa: You'll hate this hack soon enough. It IS Parallel Worlds, and the one thing people at Acmlm's Board are complaining about is... THAT BOOMERANG. They say if you miss it the first time... Well, you get the idea. O_o That's bad design, if you ask me. Oh well. No reason NOT to play it. 😛

if i have to ill cheat the boomerang into my inventory.

ok, done dungeon 2... now where do i go? i've reached the sky clouds and looked around where the master sword lies and i've searched through a couple of caves... but cant find the 3rd dungeon. i have no clue of where to go... the guy giving the main clues is only saying the same thing about the 2nd jewel...

the miniboss before the boss in level 2 is rediculos and i doubt anyone who has a life would put effort on a real console into beating it.

edit: now i got 2 more hearts and i think i found the dungeon.

I've got a question: what do you do after you get the big key on the guardhouse? I can't reach my uncle as I need another key, and the big key won't open the big treasure chest on the 1st floor. Is there another key hanging out somewhere that I've missed? I'm tired of running around this stupid level.

you know the top floor? you can use it to open the big locks up there... also if you have a spare key then you can access the room next to your uncle and then use the small key... if not then i dunno... check the walkthrough in the readme...

-----
small update... it seems i missed the item in the 2nd dungeon... sooo now i got the big chest key but i cant find the big chest... help ! !

Yeah, I forgot about the door in the wine cellar. Silly me.
Now I got the sword, those damn guards better watch out!

Yep, started this last night and I'm only in the first dungeon... I'll probably play it a little bit, on and off. Seems pretty good so far, most LttP hacks before this seemed very ameteurish...

its a pain to get the cane of somaria (the one that protects you)... unless you use turbo keys 😊 then you can hover to the chest... hopefully its the only time ill have cheated in this epic quest.

still need help on that big chest.

edit: found it ! phew now onto the real 3rd dungeon.

ok, done the first palace :P got tons more hearts then before... 13 i think... and a few things here and there... um i doubt i can do anything now... im leaning towards needing a full walkthrough... just to refer to every so often....

also note... the palace marked on your map when you enter the parallel worlds is incorrect... thats not the 1st palace because you cant do anything in it... read the sign in the house where your house was for some clues.

I know this is going to sound stupid but i need help i downloaded Lunar ips and i have the original Zelda 3 but i cant find out how to get the game

You need a SNES Rom of Zelda ALttP. Google for it, it shouldn't be too hard to find. Then you'll need a SNES emulator - I recommend SNES9x. As for patching the Rom...

i think i forgot something rather important -.-' before any of you enter the main castle in the first world could one of you people scour around the parallel tower? im thinking i was meant to beat that first... because inside it im almost certain is the tool for warping between the 2 worlds which i am so far missing.... im stuck in the 2nd world... heeellp.

The mirror's located in the second worlds' Parallel Tower.

I'm actually still stuck in the very first part of the game. As far as I know, I've been everywhere and done everything short of bombing literally everything that I possibly can. The only "sign" in "Your House" that I can see reads: "Welcome to the hack. 1.0. Enjoy" or something like that.

I have the lamp, and bombs aren't a problem. I got the heart container from the church, and that's really about it. :shrug: It's still raining, and there are yellow NPC (Non-Enemy) guards everywhere, blocking off access to things. They speak of cave alternatives to entry, but I haven't found any so far.

Little tip? 😛

EDIT: ... Okay. I've managed to make some progress. The tip is, if you see a hole, save your state, and fall through it. If you take damage, reload. If you enter a new area, ... ... good. 😛

Here's where to go, for those of you who are stuck in the first area. Don't forget to get the lamp and the heart container from the church, as well as at least ten bombs from the house to the right of the shop!
[spoiler]In the northeastern end of the village, there is a cliff face with a cave in it. There is a large puddle at the base of the cave, as well as the cave entrance being extended horizontally. In this cave, go into the upper left door, and fall into the hole in front of you.[/spoiler]

*Cough* ownage *cough*

Well, I've got the Hammer, the mushroom, and the Magic Powder, but I don't know where to go next in Nayru's Bay, and Din's Cavern looks just plain nasty.

how do i get the mirror? or better yet... how do i get that cane that makes blocks? (kinda needed to make any remote progress in the tower.) also... i think i need it because the ice temple is kinda impossible to find the boss in.

DFW i was pretty sure the cave near the church took you where you needed to go.

something im looking forward to would be him putting X's on your overworld map for all the sub-objectives lol.....

edit: FOUND THAT FRIGGIN CANE.

edit 2: now... how do i get this mirror? i looked around a bit and got up to the point for the 2nd clue but just kept walking around and around... there was no way to get this mystical mirror of mystery.

I find it hard to believe that nobody had a copy of Lunar floating around. I'm surprised because I find it hard to believe that nobody has played this, which I originally found linked in an old thread on THIS forum. If you haven't played what I linked to (which probably deserves it's own thread), you really, really should.
