The Legend of Iced Hyrule (Renewed) (ALTTP Hack) (MSU-1) v2.0 Walkthrough
A complete walkthrough of The Legend of Iced Hyrule (Renewed). Played in real time on Snes9x 1.61+ with re-records used to optimize video length. Note that MSU-1 support for CD quality audio and a cinematic opening is added.
The Legend of Iced Hyrule is the oldest known hack of A Link to the Past in existence, but it is also one of the most broken. Initially released in 2001 or 2002 by richyawyingtmv, it features an ice-themed Light World, a purple-colored Dark World, and was also supposed to include new music and new dungeons. However, only two dungeons were fully completed, and both dungeons had bugs. The overworld designs were nonsensical. The in-game soundtrack was also corrupt.

I unfortunately could not remake Iced Hyrule using the original patch provided online because it was so far beyond repair. My only option was to remake Iced Hyrule from scratch, using a clean US rom with no header. Unlike the original Iced Hyrule, the vanilla overworlds in this remake were left intact; however, the Dark World has new snow palettes, and the Misery Mire rain was changed to snow. The game also features new dungeons, Parallel Worlds caves, MSU-1 support, and various bugfixes and quality of life improvements. A few things were unfortunately left out of the final release. For example, I couldn’t get the snow overlay ASM to work on every Dark World screen, I couldn’t edit the in-game text with ZScream, and I couldn’t edit the title screen.
