NES Zelda BUT It's a Roguelike │ Zelda Ancient Dungeon

Hey, thanks for checking out my romhack! Looks like you had fun. Looking forward to watching more! Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Let us all give a moment for that lone bat who defended his lair

Can't wait for Jared to struggle in a room for just 10 arrows.

Jared: How many different ways can I play Zelda 1 on this channel? Me: Yes.

Oof. This entire game taking place in dungeons means nothing but the dungeon music on loop.

18:00 — You had 70 rupees in room 69. So you could have shot one arrow and then you would have had 69 rupees in room 69, which is double rainbow 69!

Classic Zelda, but roguelike? Yes please!

I will never not get tired of watching Jared play Legend of Zelda romhacks and randomizers. The entertainment value is just too great. Jared and randomizers are the equivalent of peanutbutter and jelly. They just go together.

I will never tire of watching you play roguelites / randomizers of LOZ games.

I think the keys might just be room skips. When you see a locked door, you can skip the room if you have a key.

"14th room has the boss"

room 69 full of balls 💀 I commend the idea, but as Jared mentioned, it's kinda mindless. There're not many decisions to make other than "stay alive, good luck" I remember there is an indie game of a lizard that is closer to this idea. It's a clone of binding of isaac, but I find it more similar to the original zelda

While this game has an interesting concept, it's missing the one thing that all good roguelikes have. It needs interesting decisions. Without that, it's just a Zelda 1 combat gauntlet. It wouldn't be that difficult to add decisions. Some ideas would be to only have items drop when you clear the room, and to tell the player what item they will get before entering. Keys unlock more difficult rooms with a higher chance of powerful rewards. You could also restrict items to shop rooms. You can only buy one item per shop so choose wisely.

NOOO! The chocolate chip! Why’d you have to kill it? It was just trying to be a chocolate chip!

The Legend of Zelda is childhood. I love to see my childhood molded into something different keep this series up, you must get all the items!

More Zelda?!?! Yes please!!!

the key lets you skip a fight every once in a while by the look of it, you can just exit the room rather than fight the enemies

Jared just wanted to play zelda 1 again

"All the ways!" That tracks. I'm here for it.

It's not the Guardian Legend but this is pretty cool.
