Recreating a Classic: John Lay's Port of Zelda's Adventure
For those unfamiliar, in the 90s, Nintendo partnered with Philips, resulting in three Zelda titles coming out for the console. While the first two were side-scrolling platformers, much like the classic Zelda II game, the third game, Zelda's Adventure, was a top-down action adventure.
John Lay's port sticks to the aesthetics of the classic Link's Awakening game but also introduces some elements from the Oracle of Ages and the Oracle of Seasons. His complete porting was not without difficulties, having to make several modifications to make it work for the Game Boy system.
On top of that, it came with an original soundtrack composed by Beatscribe, helping to recreate the mood of the original game. Whether fans are longtime Zelda fans or a newer ones, this port of this classic title from the 90s is sure to be a delightful experience.
