I've always loved how Zelda 2 marries RPG mechanics with metroidvania elements, and it's extremely rare for me to come across a game with that sort of gameplay.
So, I wanted to make my own game that does exactly that -- along with adding in elements of things like Elder Scrolls and Ultima.
Originally, I wanted to make this an original game, but I'm too poor to afford artists. So I made it a fangame instead, using community assets and sprites from other games. Everything is fully-credited in-game.
The game takes place hundreds of years after Zelda 2 as a split timeline. A different world has been slowly merging with Hyrule, changing its history drastically. Ganondorf is King of New Hyrule, a strange faction of green people called "The El" have taken over the rest of it, and the entirety of South Hyrule is gone. Dropped in the middle of it all, it's up to you to explore everything, and see just how far the corruption has gone.
It's got 10 playable classes, 6 settlements, 8 dungeons, 2 dimensions, 1 alternate world, 40+ bosses, and 4000+ lines of dialogue. There's a day/night system, deep lore, postgame content, all that good stuff.
Just be careful not to use the Attack buttons with NPCs or you'll get a criminal record.
I hope you all enjoy it! I've worked very hard on it, and would appreciate any and all feedback.
I went through the rules, and it seems fine to post this. If not, please correct me! I'm new to Reddit as a platform. I don't mean to cause any issues, I just want to share my passion project.
