Hack N Slash creator Brandon Dillon and producer Matt Hansen get to the roots of Brandon’s inspiration by cracking open the NES classic The Legend of Zelda, literally. After taking apart the cartridge, de-soldering and dumping the rom, and booting the game up in an emulator, Brandon sets about altering the running memory of the game to cheat his way through and unlock some unexpected secrets about how the game was developed.

Part 1 features Brandon explaining his personal history with the game along with some of the motivations behind it's development.

DEVS PLAY is an original series presented by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions that combines the running commentary of a traditional Let's Play with the perspective of experienced game developers. Each episode this season will feature at least one member of the Double Fine family with occasional appearances by developers that actually worked on the games being played.
