The Legend of Zelda - Link's ShadowDescription

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.

INFO------------------------------
This hack of The Legend of Zelda for the NES had nine months of hacking put into it, also it was made impressively using a Chromebook! if anyone is looking for a great new Zelda experience then this is the hack to download!

This hack features, an entirely brand new overworld made from scratch, completely edited new (HARD) dungeons, challenging puzzles and gameplay, the Auto Map feature ~Thanks to snarfblam~, and ALL NEW completely edited graphics! 

~Story~ In the peaceful land of Hyrule... 
Evil had begun to flow out of the hidden sacred realm. It was the evil of Ganon. The evil took the form of a dark mirror, and out of that mirror came the shadow of "The Hero". Word got to the Princess Zelda that a mirror had appeared out of nowhere, Link's shadow had come out of it, and that Link's shadow had taken the mirror with him. Nevertheless Link's Shadow used the mirror to create powerful shadow crystals that have the power to seal and unseal people and objects. He has placed the crystals in the hidden temples to steal the temple's power. If the crystals steal enough power from the temple's, then Link's shadow can use the power to unseal Ganon! Find the crystals in the hidden temples before it's too late, and use the crystals power to seal the mirror away! But before that Link must defeat his own shadow!

V1.1 CHANGES--------------------------------------
Bugs fixed.

1. FIXED BROKEN IPS. Fixed many messed up/bugged rooms. 
2. The maximum amount of heart containers to obtain in the 2nd quest is now only 8.
3. Touched up credits.
4. Changed the Lamp location.
5. More useful hints.

V1.3 CHANGES--------------------------------------
Hopefully the final release! (guess not!)

1. Changed some text
2. Fixed the exit forest early exploit.
3. Fixed numerous other exploits.
4. Made some rooms pitch black in the 2nd quest ;)
5. Made bombs free in a shop.
6. Changed Sword price= Made it cheaper.

V1.4 CHANGES--------------------------------------

1.Made blue potions scarce...(I was WAY too generous with them in the dungeons!)
2.Fixed some more text.

V1.5
CHANGES--------------------------------------

1.Added a Key to Map-6 in the 2nd Quest, so now you don't have to buy one!

2.Touched up Map-1 slightly (Warning to those who already played it, things ARE different in there!)

V1.6
CHANGES--------------------------------------

1.Touched up many of my outdated graphics.

2.Touched up the minimap so now it is easier on the eyes.)

SIDENOTE1 - If you can complete this hack without savestates then you're CRAZY at Zelda! 
"I've done it with 0 deaths ;)"
SIDENOTE2 - Playing dungeons in random orders will force you to buy VERY EXPENSIVE KEYS.
SIDENOTE3 - I most likely will make another Zelda hack! I did, find it here "https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4522/"

PATCHING INFO-------------------------------------
You need to download the zip from RomHacking.net and extract the files with File manager 

(Windows PC) File manager (Mac OS)??????????? ES file manager/explorer(Android) 

Included in the Zip is… 

1.TLoZ - Link's Shadow v1-5.ips 

2.README.txt  (What you're reading)

To Patch use... 

1. Lunar Ips (Windows PC) 
 
2.“The Rom Patcher” from Google Play Store(Android)
  
3. ??????(Mac OS) Y
  
Patch the ips file to Legend of Zelda, The (U) (PRG 0).nes, because Legend of Zelda, The (U) (PRG 1).nes
will cause glitches! Then apply the included Ips to the prg0 Zelda rom using Lunar Ips.

Guide/HINTS AND TIPS-----------------------------------------
