In terms of stone-cold classics like A Hyperlink to the Previous, now we have to ask how a lot content material can there actually be that we do not already learn about? The reply, so it appears, is quite a bit truly.
For the previous short time now, a Zelda fan by the title of @Dark_Linkael has been working their method via the prototype information for this basic sequence entry and the challenge has thrown up a variety of fascinating discoveries from unique sprites to a collectable Triforce. However maybe the most important discover (not less than bodily) has been their work on pulling collectively the entire sport’s unique inside room designs – dungeons and all.
Whereas the format can initially be a bit of complicated (it seems to be one thing like a magic-eye puzzle on first look), one other preservationist, @MrTalida, has positioned the unique and ultimate designs collectively in a side-by-side comparability video. The outcomes of this may be discovered beneath.
A better inspection of the proto design reveals simply how a lot of the sport’s ultimate map was modified within the growth interval. From easy issues just like the altering form of Hyrule Sanctuary within the high left of the picture to the whole transform of Distress Mire and substantial cuts made to the Ice Palace, if this unique format reveals one factor, it is that high quality dungeon design takes time.
@Dark_Linkael has found an entire lot extra proto goodies within the search via the sport’s information, and we extremely suggest trying out their Twitter account for the complete round-up of the whole lot that has been uncovered.
For now, not less than, we guess it is time to dive into A Hyperlink to the Previous as soon as once more…
