Description The Legend of Zelda - Trial of Courage

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

~CHANGELOG~



V1.0 - Initial release (Hopefully the final release)


 EDIT: Nope! I was wrong, this release is now the HARDCORE release.

V1.1 - Fixed all problems/complaints from the last version. SEE BELOW
Added a Normal mode! In this mode start with sword, and a few rupee stealing trolls have been changed to rewards.
Brightened up rooms in dungeons, so now you don't have to feel around in the dark too much. Pretty much, it is more friendly
to the player.

NOTES: If you are looking for a challenge that is about the difficulty of Outlands and Zelda - Link's Shadow (My last hack), then
I highly recommend playing the HARDCORE version. 

If you are looking for something about the same difficulty as the original Zelda 1, then I highly, HIGHLY, recommend patching the
Normal version.

V1.2-

IGNORE EVERYTHING FROM THE 1.1 CHANGLOG, I HAVE IMPROVED FURTHER UPON IT!

The BEST update yet!

There are now FOUR patches of difficulty! I have numbered the IPS files in order from easiest
to hardest, from lowest number to highest number. Read the "Picking the right ips!.txt" file for more info.

V1.3 -

More Improvements!

Added a missing map to the Lv9's of Quest 1 to all version modes. (Thanks to erpster2 for the heads up!)

In Master mode the death theme is different now. ;)

Touched up this manual, it now gives better hints!

Edited Master mode a little more to make it slightly harder.

Edited Newbie mode to make it slightly easier.

V1.4 -

Added a compass to Lv5 in all Quest 2s from all versions.
Made compass reachable in Lv7 of all versions Quest 2.
(Thanks to erpster2!)

Increased the overworld's breathing room in the casual and newbie patches, it is now easier to explore.
(Thanks to ifightdragons' updated review.)

V1.5

Massive overworld improvements!
In Newbie, Casual, and Veteran mode overworld has been made smoother.
Added a missing key to the Lv2s of Quest 1 on all versions.

V1.6

Many fixes and touchups!
More enemy variety in areas.
Changed Pols voice's colors to red palette.
Fixed text glitches.
Fixed a wrong tile combo placement in the NE part of the world.
Fixed all Q2 Dungeon bugs that "erpster2" brought to my attention. Thanks again!
Fixed Link's hair shrinking when he walks.
Colored in the bubble enemies nose so it's not transparent.
Got rid of pushable blocks that don't trigger anything.

~Prologue~


The night before Link's 12th Birthday, Link was in his house with his uncle Poofah... All was 
peaceful except for the loud 
thunder and rain heard outside. Eventually growing annoyed by the 
thunderous booms, Link climbed into his bed and fell into 
a deep slumber. After a while, he began
 to dream. In his dream, it was as if he was floating in the sky, but he couldn't move. 
All he saw were clouds... Clouds stretching out for an eternity. In the midst of all these clouds, 
he began to see an exceedingly 
bright golden light. It appeared to be the symbol he saw on 
nearly almost every object or piece of royal equipment. The three triangles... 

Link had heard rumors that the three triangles symbolized some forbidden force of power that could grant 
any wish as long as you lay 
hands on it. Link began to have strength enough to move his arm. He then began to stretch his hand out towards the Triforce. As soon as 
he was about to touch it, the light of it consumed all sight and he was awoken by the unfamiliar voice of a girl. Link looked around to 
see where 
the voice was coming from, but all he saw was an unfamiliar beach and the loud waves. Link then began to be

confused about how he arrived at the strange beach, his uncle was nowhere to be found. He then heard the unfamiliar 
voice again. 
The voice said, "The Triforce of Courage has chosen you. It senses an imminent evil lusting after 
it's power. Therefore you must be tested
for worthiness. If an evil hearted person touches the Triforce it becomes split between three chosen ones. You are too young, so it is 
mandatory that you be
 given a trial... In this trial, you must fill the Vessel of Light twice using the Tears of Light to be able to

enter two Master Temples. Once you finish both temples you'll be deemed worthy to hold the Triforce of Courage once it is split.

As of now, if you finish the trial you won't obtain the Triforce of Courage until it is split by someone... 
Check what you're carrying, 
I have given you a piece of paper so you can draw a map of this land on it.
 I've also entrusted you with a Deku shield and the Vessel of Light. 
Do not break the vessel! It is made of a rare red colored sand so the glass 
has a red tint. You know your mission, now go! Prove yourself 
worthy to hold the Triforce of Courage! 
Oh, Wait! I'll also tell you this before you go. The Tears of Light are located deep in hidden temples.

Check everywhere for them, fill your map. If you become weary during your journey, go north along the beach 
and you'll meet a fairy, and unless you are a
"master", she'll heal you. Those are my final words to you for now. Go now chosen one.
 Don't disappoint me, I'll show myself to you if I see you in 
one of the temples." 
Link felt as if this was all so sudden, after all, it was just in time for his 12th birthday! 


RUN THE CHICKENS ARE COMING, wait I mean Cuccos!!!!!!! <-- Only applies in Master Mode


It is now your time to shine (Player), Enjoy this new adventure!

~Patching the IPS file~



After downloading the zip from ROMhacking.net, extract the files with a File manager 


(Windows PC) File manager 

(Mac OS)??????????? 

(Android) ES file manager/explorer



Included in the Zip is-



1. TLoZ-TrialofCourage (Insert_patchname_here).ips 



2. TLoZ-TrialofCourage(Manual).txt  --> (What you're reading)

  

3. Picking the right ips!.txt 

To Patch use- 



1. Lunar Ips (Windows PC) 
 

2. ?The Rom Patcher? from Google Play Store (Android)
  


3. https://www.romhacking.net/patch/ (Mac OS)
  


Patch the ips file to- 
Legend of Zelda, The (U) (PRG 0).nes


The "Legend of Zelda, The (U) (PRG 1).nes" ROM will cause bugs and glitches!

An easy way to test if you have the correct ROM 
file is to check if a (TM) symbol is on the title screen.
 If the (TM) symbol is there, then you have the wrong ROM file. 
Use a ROM without the (TM) symbol.

~Damage Info~

(NEWBIE MODE)
All Items are stronger than they originally were, not to the extremes though. 
Direct sword hits are 1.5 times stronger than normal sword blows, so keep your health up!

Bombs do "FF" amount of damage, FF is the highest number in HEX. So it can kill anything in one hit pretty much. LOL

(CASUAL MODE)
Damage given from Link's items are same as original except sword beams are stronger than normal hits.
The Boomerang also does damage too, just like all other versions.



(VETERAN AND MASTER MODE)
All Items are weaker than they originally were, not to the extremes though. It more like added an

extra hit needed to kill enemies which previously were defeated with on less hit.

Sword beam hits are 1.5 times stronger than normal sword blows, so keep your health up!


(TRUE FOR ALL VERSIONS)

Fire from the Book of Mudora and the damage of the lamp has been increased.

The Boomerang can now kill enemies by repeated throws, throwing it at close proximity does more damage and when it is
returning it also does more damage.


===========================================================================================================================

~New features~



UP+A Save feature has been removed, instead, just press SELECT on (Controller 1) when in the subscreen!


Again, boomerang can kill enemies other than Keese (Bats).



~Pro Tips~



Pause buffering - E.G pressing SELECT over and over to focus more.


Jumping - Walking over slash shaped rocks to reach seemingly unreachable areas.


Playing Ocarina multiple times before tornado reaches you - Allows you to skip warps.


Spin attack - Turn around just as you attack in one direction, useful when escaping Stalfos Knights (Darknuts).

~Heart Container Locations (Quest 1 & 2)~


Only giving hint's for the ones in the overworld and will be listing them in the order

they become available to reach in-game. In Quest 2 almost every Heart Container in the dungeons are hidden

deep in the dungeons themselves and not obtained by beating bosses. 



I highly discourage reading this unless you
really can't find them.



~Heart Container Locations (Quest 1)~
HC#1- Directly one area west of the perfect diamond shape in the woods; need a Lamp.

HC#2- Under an Armos Statue in the red mountains; need Goron Bracelet.

HC#3- Walk across the broken bridge above the woods; need Stepladder.

HC#4- Directly one area west of the top right corner of the map; need bombs.

HC#5- Directly one area east of the MAP-9; need bombs.



~Heart Container Locations (Quest 2)~



HC#1- Directly underneath the Red Lamp shop; need a Lamp

HC#2- Under an Armos Statue in the red mountains; need Goron Bracelet. Same location as in Quest 1.

HC#3- Inside old MAP-7 Location from the 1st Quest.

HC#4- Same location as the Blue Mail from the 1st Quest.

HC#5- Two areas west of MAP-8 from the 1st Quest; push a gravestone.



NOTE!- In Quest 2, in one of the dungeons, there isn't a heart container, because there's one in MAP-9 instead.

Nintendo & Shigeru Miyamoto----- Without him, the original base game and everyone's fond memories of it would've never been
!                            
                                 ~Thank you Mr.Miyamoto & Nintendo!~ I in no way make a profit off this IPS file... others might.    



(Me) The3Dude----- Hacker of everything including graphics, dungeon designs, overworld designs, secrets, music, title screen, 
                   and everything else except the minimap mod. Though I did make the graphics for the minimap.




Snarfblam----- Creator of the minimap mod and many editing tools such as, (ZeldaTech - The overworld editor), and
              
              (Dungeon Master - The Dungeon editor). Without Snarfblams tools, this project could've taken over a year!
   
                                        ~Thank you to the infinities Snarf!~




ROMhacking.net----- Website from which I am able to post this hack, and a source of valuable hacking information on Zelda 1's code.
                   
                     ~Thanks, RHDN!~



Scucci----- Creator of the (Zelda Story Editor ~ZSE~) Made color coding a lot easier in the opening cutscene text. 
           
            ~Thanks Scucci!~

            ~Thank you for such an amazing graphics editor!~




Charade----- Charade provided me with his own notes he made when creating his "Legend of Banjo" ROM hack. These notes consisted of
 
            the game's music. ~Thank you for your music code notes!~ They helped me with a few pieces of music hacking, and I was able

             to change the death theme into the "Dearly Beloved" soundtrack from another game series!




Psyklax----- Provided info on the piece of code in which button presses are found. So I was able to change which buttons cause the
 
            SAVE screen to appear and on which controller! Now you can save by pressing SELECT on Controller 1 while in the subscreen.



Beta Testers----- Last but certainly not least, I'd like to thank all my beta testers for their help in finding glitches and overall feedback.

                  Testers names-----ultimaweapon, Googie, xttx, eleventhirtyfour, Mari42, and Softcomet.
