The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Islands v2.5 (Z3 Hack) Playthrough - Episode 1: Castle of Hyrule
21A playthrough of a completed Zelda III romhack named, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Islands. This hack was actually a hack that started in 2004/2005 by SePH as The Legend of Zelda: Lyra Islands, but he abandoned the project after about a month or two of development along with some of his other hacks later because he would work with Euclid to create the first completed Zelda III hack, The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds. This hack was left abandoned for about a decade, until 2015, where Darklink7884 picked it up as a project of his. As he would develop the hack more and more, the game got drastically changed from how it was originally, so the game was renamed to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Islands. Eventually in 2020, the game got released as v2.0, and soon it would be updated more and more until it got to v2.5 in 2021, which is the final version as of recording this playthrough.
This hack is a decent-sized hack, so the playthrough of this hack will probably take about 8-10 episodes. This hack is also much much easier than Parallel Worlds or Goddess of Wisdom, so it will kind of be a laid back playthrough too. Not only that, but I will be getting 100% completion of this game like in all of my other playthroughs, so I hope you enjoy this playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Islands!
In this episode, I go through the first dungeon of the game, the Castle of Hyrule. In my opinion, this dungeon is a pretty decent starting dungeon. There are a lot of rooms inspired or taken from Hylian Legacy, which is cool but I also feel like the dungeon could have done something more unique with these rooms rather than reusing them. Still, it is a cool start to the game and the only real problem I have with this dungeon is that there are a bunch of rooms that don't have any scenery in it, only enemies and a couple of pots. It would be cool if these areas were filled out, but other than that I liked this dungeon and I'd say the way the player is meant to progress through the dungeon is pretty neat imo. But anyways, in the next episode I'll be going through the next dungeon, the East Palace.
