The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Proto patch Version 1.0 release

[Deleted User]

Romhacker SePH released patch Version 1.0 of The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Proto.
The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Proto is an interpretation of various development phases of the game based on the Alttp prototype assets.

"This is a result of 4 months (maybe 5) of "behind the scenes" hard work, a few assembly hacks and fixes etc.
This game was known as A Link To The Past and only has been renamed into A Link To The Proto for the release to stand on it's own.
There is a lot of changes, I tried to add as much prototype assets into the game,
but unfortunately due to the multiple iterations of the same tilesets and a rather limited space for graphics, only a few select ones made it into the reconstruction.
But still, there is a lot of places to explore and many unseen things to discover from the proto content that was cut from the final vanilla release from Nintendo.
That's it for a brief introduction... I hope you enjoy playing this hack as much as I had fun "reconstructing" a playable prototype!"

Spoiler: Prototype Features

* Overworld, Dungeons, Items and Sprites graphical changes
* Brand new overworlds based on the earliest World Map
* All prototype dungeon rooms implemented
