History VideoGame / Origin

* NothingIsScarier: There's no music in the graveyard. It's unclear whether that was intentional or [[ObviousBeta Darkflamewolf just couldn't find a good song]].

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Now the dungeon items aren't lying around in dungeons anymore, and you have to ''buy'' them. And the prices are quite steep. There are super-hard {{Bonus Boss}}es that give you lots of Rupees... which should be not quite enough to buy all the one-of-a-kind items.

* VideoGameRemake: The levels are in the same places as in the original ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'', and are the same shapes, with the bosses in the same places and the same items, but they are laid out differently and some have additional items. Also see the below.
* VideoGameSettings: The original was pretty vanilla with the entire overworld covered in vanilla mountains and forests and the labyrinths all with the same texture, but the remake adds themes to most of them.
** Every labyrinth has a distinct theme, most carried over from 1st to 2nd quest:
*** [[NoobCave Labyrinth of Noob]]: Level 1 in both quests ("The Eagle" and "Erosion", respectively).
*** [[BubblegloopSwamp Labyrinth of Swamp]]: Level 2 in 1st quest ("The Crescent") and level 7 in 2nd ("The Spiral").
*** [[TheLostWoods Labyrinth of Forest]]: Level 3 in 1st quest ("The Manji"). Not carried over to 2nd quest.
*** [[UnderTheSea Labyrinth of Water]]: Level 4 in 1st quest ("The Snake") and Level 5 in 2nd ("Zenith").
*** [[BuildLikeAnEgyptian Labyrinth of Pyramid]]: Level 5 in 1st quest ("The Lizard") and level 4 in 2nd ("Dementia").
*** [[BigBoosHaunt Labyrinth of Death]]: [[DifficultySpike Level 6]] in both quests ("The Dragon" and "The Cowl", respectively).
*** [[OminousFloatingCastle Labyrinth of Sky]]: Level 7 in 1st quest ("The Demon") and Level 3 in 2nd ("Languish").
*** [[UndergroundLevel Labyrinth of Cavern]]: Level 8 in 1st quest ("The Lion") and level 2 in 2nd ("Aberration").
*** With an added AbandonedMine flavor in 2nd.
*** [[LethalLavaLand Labyrinth of Volcano]]: Level 9 in 1st quest ("The Skull") and Level 8 in 2nd ("The Red Mile").
*** [[IcePalace Labyrinth of Ice]]: Level 9 in 2nd quest ("Ganon").
** Much of the overworld gets distinct themes added too:
*** FirstTown: Kakariko Village.
*** PalmtreePanic: The beach area in the southwest. Also [[{{Fanon}} one in the Lost Woods]].
*** BubblegloopSwamp: Misery Mire.
*** RuinsForRuinsSake: The Forest of Ruins.
*** TheLostWoods: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Lost Woods]].
*** BigBoosHaunt: The graveyard.
*** DeathMountain: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Death Mountain]].
*** SlippySlideyIceWorld: Snowpeak.

[[NotHisSled Actually, you don't]]. A new chronicle unearthed by the great historian Creator/DarkFlameWolf reveals that what you played until now was only part of the story. Details about the scenery were compressed, the overworld and dungeon layouts were passed down wrong, Link getting certain dungeon items was left out, the difficulty Link had was greatly downplayed, and it turns out Link had to rescue fair Zelda a ''third'' time. That means you now get to play a new and improved remake of the original VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI made in VideoGame/ZeldaClassic, with a more complex and detailed overworld, more complex, detailed and themed dungeons, additional dungeon items and puzzles, harder difficulty and an incredibly difficult remake of the first two quests in the form of a third quest.

This was actually the last Zelda Classic quest Dark Flame Wolf made, and she's announced her retirement from Zelda Classic, but she made ten quests in total, and this one may just top even her previous main quest, VideoGame/LostIsle, made in collaboration with Peteo, and serve as a fitting crowner to her long quest-making career. What better way to end your career than WhereItAllBegan? Of course, she didn't make this entirely herself; she had Blaman make one block puzzle to put in each dungeon, but everything else was all Dark Flame Wolf, down to the Master Dome, which in this quest takes the form of the Dome of Trials, a set of rematches against bosses in the style of the Savage Labyrinth from VideoGame/HiddenDuality that gets harder in each successive quest. It's not clear whether this or VideoGame/LostIsle was a greater quest, but it most definitely tops VideoGame/IsleOfTheWinds by a longshot, especially given how Dark Flame Wolf needed to integrate the two-quest mechanics, and it was more effort on Dark Flame Wolf's part than Lost Isle. So, this is a fitting way for Dark Flame Wolf to end her quest making career, wasn't it?

* GainaxEnding: Excuse me princess, you said WHAT after I went through hell and high water to truly defeat Ganon and rescue you?

* [[SequelDifficultySpike Remake Difficulty Spike]]: This game wasn't easy to begin with, not even 1st quest much less 2nd, but Darkflamewolf somehow managed to greatly raise the difficulty in both quests and add a third quest to top them both.

* EasterEgg: In level 9 1st quest, [[FandomBerserkButton GANNON]]:

* CallBack: Several things will be familiar to players of the original.
** {{Retcon}}: Some things you thought were familiar are totally different now.

* BeefGate: You ''can'' go straight to the third quest right away, but you need to defeat some hard monsters with just the Green Mail, the Wooden Sword and three hearts. It ''is'' possible with the Sword Beam, but the skill you need to pull it off with is incredible but still has nothing on what you'll face beyond.

'''[[header:Third quest has examples of these additional tropes:]]'''

* FinalBossNewDimension: The tower atop which you fight the last boss is not seen anywhere in the overworld.

* SequelHook: After his defeat, Ganon says he will continue to come back as long as he has the Triforce of Power. Given that this is the last appearance of Ganon in [[TheHeroDies this timeline]], like ''Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'', this may seem to be {{Fanon}}. But if you lose ''Zelda II'', Ganon [[GameOverMan]] returns to mock you, hinting that he's not quite dead and will have to be truly defeated later in this timeline.

* GainaxEnding: ExcuseMePrincess, you said WHAT after I went through hell and high water to truly defeat Ganon and rescue you?

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Interestingly, at the end of ''2nd quest''. The princess in Ganon's lair is a fake, called "Helda" ''[sic]''. You can rescue her or continue on to the third quest with all your items from 2nd quest.

*** PalmtreePanic: The beach area in the southwest. Also [[{{Fanon}} one in the Lost Woods}}]].

* {{Fanon}}: The beach area in the southwest corner of the Lost Woods, an area that's revealed to be dry land in ''Zelda II''.

*** BubblegloopSwamp:
*** TheLostWoods: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Lost Woods]].

* ItWasHisSled: Many things will be familiar to players of the first quest.
** NotHisSled: Some things that you think are the same are actually different.

*** [[IcePalace Labyrinth of Ice]]: Level 9 in 2nd quest.
