Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Zelda II: The Nightmare of Ganon Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nightmare of Ganon is a complete redesign of the NES game Zelda II with new story, overworld, caves, palaces, towns, item order, random encounters, and more.

It's a hardtype and more challenging then the original game. Enemies don't take more hits then usual, the difficulty lies more in the design.

It's much longer because of a bigger overworld which has more caves and bridges. There are longer caves and deeper palaces.

There are a couple custom changes to gameplay which include enemies that respawn & you can restart at the palace if you game over.

This romhack will give a feeling like it's a totally new Zelda II game because none of the design is similar to the original.

Patch Updates



-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------



Version 1.1 fixes:



-Room before Death Mountain was changed to make it more fair.

-Changed everywhere in the hack "Gannon" to "Ganon" including a new title screen, npc dialog, & in game text.



Version 1.2 fixes:



-Overworld map changed allowing access to King's Tomb right after Death Mountain. This is to avoid backtracking.

-Overworld map changed adding a shortcut just north of King's Tomb opening up a path to the forest above. This will decrease travel distance and add an alternate route.

-Experience needed to level up increased because of respawning enemies levels were gained too fast.



Version 1.3 fixes:



-Overworld map was shifting after palace completion it's been fixed. It's turning to stone normally now.



Version 1.4 fixes:



-In town some doors were on the edge of an area so entering the door from the very edge would warp you to the street. Now you don't need to be centered before entering a door and can enter from anywhere.



Version 1.5 fixes:

-Some caves were not dark when you didn't have the Candle. All caves have been fixed to be in darkness when you have no Candle.

-Fixed glitch in random battles in Valley of Death that was causing game freeze.
