I just downloaded the windows version of zelda. Upon loading the first quest it ask for a password how do I get the password?
password
You shouldn't be opening it with ZQuest. ZQuest is the quest editor. You want to use the quest player, which is Zelda Classic. Don't worry, common mistake. 😉
(I think I'll put that in the ZC.com FAQ section.)
Ok thanks
There is a version of ZC that comes with a file called example_1st.qst, which is basically an unpassworded version of 1st.qst. It is, in fact, an exact replica of 1st.qst, sans the password. They explained why they did that at one point, but I don't remember why
Anyway, yeah. If you intend on editing the original game, use example_1st.qst
