Oh gods! This game had a huge effect on me way back when I played it, and today I thought that I need to find it again. Only to find that it's been remastered!
Seriously. This is the first Zelda like I ever played, and it inspired a game idea of my own (not yet come to fruition).
Well, I know what I plan to play once Nanowrimo is over.
(edit: And yeah I'm the same icecheetah who complained about the bunnies' screeching on the old rpgmaker page).
Hi there! Glad you managed to find it again, and that it had such an impact on you. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out, there’s a few quality of life enhancements and gameplay/story changes, among other things I’ll leave to you to discover! I can’t promise the bunnies don’t still screech, but it has been lessened by a good amount at least. :) Have fun!
It took me just a little over two hours to reach the end, and I remember that when I first played it, I had to grind to even beat the first Yeti, but this time I managed to beat all the bosses first try, without any deliberate grinding! I used the technique where you jump back after an attack a lot, and I don't think I used it in my playthrough of the original.
I only died once, though I had many, many close encounters where the only thing that saved me was spamming the healing spell while trying to escape the swarm of bunnies I got caught in. Might be a bit overpowered that... .
The game map was very welcome.
I also found a small drawing glitch right near the end. Look at the bottom left side of the PC, on the left edge of the map.
Heheh, I caught many of those layering errors but there’s definitely still a few here and there like the one you found I’m sure. Thanks, I will make note of that one for if/when I do release any other patches. Glad you had an easier time of it! Though yeah I may have overcompensated for the difficulty curve a little bit. Ah well. :)
I especially love RPGs. And this one in particular looks spectacular. I guess it’s made under the RPG Maker 2000 engine. It reminds me a bit of FFVI. I hope for an early release (a beta or a demo). Best of luck!
Hello, thank you for the interest! It’s actually made using an engine called ika. It’s definitely similar in vintage to RPGMaker 2000, but a lot more customizable with Python scripting. :) And yeah, the cliff tileset is definitely FF6 inspired.
You won’t have to wait long, the full version will be out in about a month, and you won’t have to pay for it either.

I certainly didn't mind the screeching this time!
