Fan Revamps the Original 1986 Legend of Zelda

Over the past couple of years there have been several Zelda games given a new lick of paint, been given some extra content and re-released for current platforms. Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and The Wind Waker all got the remake treatment but some people would like to see the older games given a new lease on life. YouTuber TCPixel has gone all the way back to the beginning and updated the original Legend of Zelda. Not only have the visuals been updated but they have also used sound clips from other Zelda games to give the game a more current gameplay experience.

See how it turned out after the jump!

As far as the new visuals they’re pretty good, maybe with the odd part that could do with a little more work, but it’s the audio that seems a bit…weird! Most of the sounds clips are from The Wind Waker but seeing them used in a top down Zelda game doesn’t quite fit. I’m assuming the person saying “it’s dangerous to go alone. Take this” is the person that made the video but that voice really didn’t fit the old man, neither did the noise when Link pushed the block, but I may be being picky.

There were a few other things that sounded odd but that could just be because I’m used to hearing the noises in the games they’re from. Even so, it would be great to see a remake of the original game at some point but what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
