The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Islands v2.5 (Z3 Hack) Playthrough - Episode 5: Royal Crypt
11A 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.
In this episode, I head straight to one of the mini dungeons of the game, the Royal Crypt. This dungeon I feel like is not bad, but at the same time I feel like the dungeon isn't good either. The reason why I think this is mainly because more than half of the rooms are just remakes of rooms already in Parallel Worlds, so for me half of the dungeon was boring because I knew the rooms already. Not only that, there's another tile room that you have to wait in to get by. At least this time it adds some sort of challenge with the fireballs, but up to this point every dungeon but the Castle contained a flying floor tile room you just have to wait in. I think flying floor tile rooms where you have to wait can be good in some cases, but having to go through one nearly every dungeon is a pain. At least with Parallel Worlds, the flying floor tiles were just obstacles you rarely have to wait for. But in this game it feels like every time I encounter one I immediately know I have to wait for them to all go away. Either way, in the next episode I will be going through the next dungeon, the Forest Maze.
