Hack by GTM604: www.romhacking.net/hacks/4925/
This week on Sunday Longplay, it's another ROM hack for one of my favorite NES games of all time in honor of its franchise's 35th anniversary. Welcome to Zelda 2: Winter Solstice!
The memory of Ganon fades. But, on the longest, darkest day, the Winter Solstice, he is able to once more take physical form and cover the land in terror and anguish. Our hero must destroy the darkness, save Zelda, and seal off evil with the help of the Triforce in another adventuresome quest.
This hack creates a brand-new overworld for the land of Hyrule as well as new overworld battle scenes, new winter-themed environments, new palaces, bigger areas, new dialogue, a new HUD (not the same one from Zelda 2 Redux, but this one looks nice too!), and even new music themes for the endgame (Great Palace, Dark Link, and Ending).

@MetalSmasherGaming 2 жыл бұрын

There are a lot of ROM hacks that were made with people who have played the base game to death in mind, and serve to give them a fresh new challenge. Some go completely overboard (Kaizo Mario World being the most famous example), but I like my hacks to not reach that level while still being more challenging than the base game.

Amazing, my friend kept telling me to try this and I'm having fun despite the difficulty. I'm trying to do things myself but when I get super lost I've been coming to this video to see what I actually need to do.

@MetalSmasherGaming 3 жыл бұрын

It's a very well-made hack for sure. I think it's good that this hack was made to be harder than the base game to give people who have played the base game to death a fresh new challenge, and it's great that it didn't go completely overboard into Kaizo territory with it because at that point it just becomes unfair and not fun.

@MajinZarak 2 жыл бұрын

2:22:22 *That key drop* Joke aside, the hack looks really good, getting the spells via picking an item was something unique that I thought was outside the limits of the game's engine. On the bad side, there are some things like that awful key drop in the Hidden/Sand Palace, the lack of the Candle during most of the game (Though it's not that bad since you can pretty much see all the enemies in the caevs anyway) and the not-so intuitive hidden paths in the palaces.

@MetalSmasherGaming 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that key drop is pure evil! But I still consider this one of the best Zelda 2 hacks I’ve played. It’s definitely harder than the original Zelda 2, but at no point does it feel unfair.

@MajinZarak 2 жыл бұрын

@@MetalSmasherGaming The only thing I would change would be that key drop, the rest of the game looks very good. Despite my claim about the "not-intuitive" paths, it's not like the original game had a lot of those hidden zones anyway, I remember getting stuck for weeks until I stumbled into Bagu's house in my first times playing the original game several years ago.
