The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the PROTO v1.0 (ALTTP Hack)
Played in real time on Snes9x 1.61+ with re-records used to optimize video length.
This rom hack is based on various prototype builds of A Link to the Past that were leaked in July 2020. SePH, who retired from the rom hacking community almost immediately after releasing this project, admitted that this is not an authentic prototype, nor does it represent a single point of development. This is strictly to give players an idea of what the game looked like during its development and what assets were cut from the final game.
This is a result of 4 months (maybe 5) of “behind the scenes” hard work, a few assembly hacks and fixes etc. The game also had to be renamed "A Link to the PROTO" for it to stand on its own.
There are a lot of changes, prototype assets that made it into the game, but unfortunately due to multiple iterations of the same tileset and a rather limited space for graphics, only a few select tilesets actually made it into reconstruction.
