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.
The LEGEND of IOWA Version 1.00 This is the debut release of The Legend of Iowa, a complete rewrite of "The Legend of Zelda". I'm fairly confident that I caught all of the game-breaking issues, but if I missed something (or if something just seems "off"), by all means contact me at any/all of the following: 1) [email protected] 2) Via PM at www.BaddestHacks.net 3) Via PM at www.ROMhacking.net Also, since the nature of this game is one of secrets & exploration, there are bound to be instances where you just don't know what to do or where to go next. Again, feel free to contact me with questions. I might not spell things out completely, but I'll do my best to nudge you in the right direction! I designed this game with the original Zelda in mind, so fans of that game should know what to expect. I did tone down the difficulty (particularly that of the early Second Quest) pursuant to the feedback of several Beta Testers; I still maintain that this hack is on-par with or slightly easier than the original game. I'm already planning a subsequent update, possibly by the end of the month. The changes will be mostly aesthetic, along with supplemental goodies like artwork and an official manual. Again, feedback is greatly appreciated, and if your contribution is big enough you may wind up in a subsequent version of the credits! In closing, I'd like to thank everyone at Bad/Badder/Baddesthacks.net, particularly Rotwang, Hax0rKyo and Goldengun. I can't believe the site's gone through three different iterations over the course of this hack's production! Also, total accolades to everyone in the wider ROM hacking community, who patiently endured a seemingly endless series of delays with respect to this hack. (The original release was supposed to be Xmas Eve, 2009!) Enough waiting! Let's go tangle with some meth-heads!!! ~Dr. Floppy April 20th, 2015
