History VideoGame / ZeldaClassic

How do you play a classic game when you don't have the old systems and you want to avoid the trouble of {{Emulation}}?

You can get the game at the [[http://www.zeldaclassic.com/index.php Zelda Classic homepage]] for a stable 2.10 Windows version or the newest, currently released 2.5 version for several platforms.

* ''VideoGame/Origin'' (not to be confused with the Electronic Arts program that [[NamesTheSame shares the same name]])

* BlowingStuffUp: The Super Bomb in quests it appears in, blows apart super bomb flags and [[NighInvulnerable phantom Ghinis]] and Peahats in flight. It can also deal severe damage to Link, if the "bombs hurt Link" rule is checked.

* SaveGameLimits: New wrinkles for this trope. While you can hit F6 any time you want to get the traditional Continue/Save/Retry screen, there is still a limit of how many saved games you can have. As of the latest betas, that limit is 15.

* LevelEditor: and Item Editor and Enemy Editor too.

* PlayingWithFire: Din's Fire is available.

* FanNickname: Inverted. Originally, Octorok (magic) used to be the Octorock On Crack, Stalfos (L3) the Super Stalfos, and Darknut (Splitting) Super Darknuts. The Death Knight Darknut has kept its name, and [[ThatOneBoss for good reason]].

* GoodBadBugs: In the third quest, the warp points are still programmed in the first quest spots. After getting the recorder from [[spoiler: Level 4]], you can warp to the spot it was in the 1st quest, meaning you can [[spoiler: get the letter without having to retrieve the raft from level 5]]. This was fixed in the fourth quest, partly because it stowed away [[spoiler: a heart container]] instead.

* TheRemake: Creator/DarkFlameWolf made the excellent [[http://www.purezc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29180 Origin]] quest.

* ClassicCheatCode: It has been expanded upon. ZELDA still works, ALPHA launches the "official" third quest, and [[spoiler:GANON]] will launch the "official" fourth quest when 2.5 comes out.

''Zelda Classic'' is a mostly faithful [[FreewareGames freeware]] re-creation of the original ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Legend of Zelda]]''. It includes the first and [[NewGamePlus second]] quests, along with a big LevelEditor called [=ZQuest=] for making your own quests. Do not think that you are stuck with just everything from the first Legend of Zelda game: there are items implemented from [[TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link To The Past]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina Of Time]], and [[TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]] to name a few; you can change the HouseRules for each individual quest as needed; and with the latest versions, you can now create your own items, enemies, and script.

Greg Phillips, known by his pseudonym as developer Dark Nation, passed away on December 13, 2012 due to medical complications. Memorial services were held several days later.

* DevelopmentHell: 2.50 has been in development for a long time. It was released on late December 2012 after almost 7 years of development.

* UnwinnableByMistake: If quest makers aren't careful, this can happen.

* TheRemake: [=DarkFlameWolf=] made the excellent [[http://www.purezc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29180 Origin]] quest.

There will likely be a tribute to recently deceased developer Dark Nation, who passed away on December 13, 2012 due to medical complications.

* MagicMeter: It works almost similar to the magic meter from Zelda II. An upgrade to halve magic consumption, like how it was in VideoGame/ZeldaALinkToThePast is also available.

** [=Old-Skool/King Aquamentus=], in 2005, made a special version of 1st quest with shaded graphics and altered dungeons. He is now remaking THAT, as a "Zero Mission" Aunouma-style retelling of the first game.
