Zelda’s Adventure ROM

Zelda's Adventure rom
When focusing on the main objectives, Zelda’s Adventure is about 1 hour in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 2 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Zelda’s Adventure is a Game Boy ROM Hack made by John Lay in English. Zelda’s Adventure looked interesting, and I thought it would be fun to play on a portable system. I chose the Game Boy because of the existing Zelda games on the system.

The game sticks to the aesthetics of Link’s Awakening, but also incorporates some features from Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. This is a complete port of the CDi original and was developed in GB Studio, with a few modifications.

You can download the Zelda’s Adventure rom on this page and to play the game you need to download the Visualboy Advance Emulator here.

You need to download and install Visual Boy Advance and then load the rom.

Description

It is the Age of Darkness.

The evil Ganon has captured the young hero Link. Only Princess Zelda can rescue him. Her journey will be difficult, filled with many challenges and mysteries. Armed only with the advice of the wise court astronomer Gaspra, and the guidance of Shurmak, Zelda must set out on her journey deep into the uncharted southeastern region of Hyrule, known as Tolemac.

Before she begins, Gaspra warns her that the only way to save Link is to collect the seven Celestial Signs that Ganon has stolen, and that she must overcome one final obstacle: Ganon himself. Once she succeeds, she gains the knowledge and strength to rescue Link and brings the magical land of Hyrule into the Age of Lightness.

Info

In the 1990s Nintendo made a deal with Philips to develop 3 Zelda titles. The first 2 were side-scrolling platformers, similar to Zelda II, and the third was a traditional top-down action-adventure game. Zelda’s Adventure looked interesting and I thought it would be fun to play on a portable system. I chose the Game Boy because of the existing Zelda games on the system.

The game sticks to the aesthetics of Link’s Awakening, but also incorporates some features from Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. This is a complete port of the CDi original and was developed in GB Studio, with a few modifications. Thanks to Beatscribe for composing the music. I hope you enjoy playing the game as much as enjoyed making it.
