Here's one of the Link to the Past hacks I've been curious about trying out. From glancing at the screenshots and reviews, I'm getting the impression that it's largely a dungeon remix, with increased difficulty but not excessively so.

I've played just enough to make sure everything's working and reach the castle to get a screenshot that makes for a decent thumbnail that's not identical to the base game. Otherwise, this is a blind playthrough. I'm planning on gong for about an hour to 90 minutes per session until completing the game.

As described by SkierLink, the author:

Zelda’s wish has had a different outcome than expected, leading to a world not so different from her original...

This hack was made to provide a new adventure in Hyrule. As such, much of the world will have a similar feel to the original while providing new challenges, a different route, and possibly a new trick.

This hack has moderate modifications to the overworld, offering a new look to familiar spaces. Some text has been modified to match this different world. All dungeons were modified, leading to new routes, different big chest items, new puzzles, and increased difficulty. Reflecting the increased difficulty, all that remains of your uncle is a pile of clothes and his sword. Bomb jumping is not required. Save states are not required to complete this journey. Good knowledge of the base game will be helpful.

Summary
- Moderate overworld modification
- Minor changes to monologue
- Modified dungeons (all)
- Increased difficulty
