Super Mario Maker is undeniably a success, making a lot of people hope for more Maker titles for Nintendo's other franchises. For eager Zelda enthusiasts, their wait is nearly over. In a bid to follow in the steps of Super Mario Maker, a video game developer has come up with an unofficial Legend of Zelda Maker.
Justin Sink, a Nintendo fan, has created the unofficial The Legend of Zelda Maker, in which gamers can create and share their very own Legend of Zelda temples, levels and dungeons for other players to play. Players will only need to click and drop an array of Zelda enemies and even environmental objects.
It is presently in alpha and readily available through Mediafire. Fans can also head over to Dropbox to download it.
The developer says in the video he is encouraging players to provide their constructive criticism. Additionally, Sink says that he anticipates the possibility of Nintendo issuing a cease and desist order on his project. As such, he is planning to rename the game as Legend Maker to stay away from legal issues.
"Nintendo might cease and desist a project like this, so in time, when I've got the ability to change the sprites, I will do so, and I will also add things that Zelda games don't have to make it a somewhat unique experience," he said.
In the meantime, Super Mario Maker was named as one of the top-selling games of September 2015 as revealed by the NPD Group.
The game claimed the sixth spot, with NBA 2K16, Madden NFL 16, Metal Gear Solid 5, FIFA 16 as well as Destiny at the top five spots on the list.
The hero of The Legend of Zelda franchise, Link, also appears in Super Mario Maker as an extra character that can be played by gamers.
Link can be unlocked in different ways. One is to make use of his respective amiibo. The character can likewise be unlocked randomly when the game's 100 built-in Mario levels is already completed.
