Oh, by the way I'm very new to alttp hacking but I'm very interested in learning how this game works and how to hack it. I will probably post some questions when I get them organized. I have hyrule magic and orochimaru's perfect guide but I still run into problems and sometimes its just hard to hack this game.

Hi DiscoPeach thanks for the welcome.

So you are doing your own hack, you know I’ve been wanting to make my own hack of this game from the moment I hear of Parallel Worlds. I’ve played Parallel Worlds and I will say that it is a very impressive hack. If I were to make a hack though I think that I could make one probably better but I don’t know its pretty hard hacking this game. The only problem is that I have very poor hacking knowledge and abilities. This is why instead of doing my own hack I have decided to help someone with theirs. I’m actually working with gamemakr24 with his hack, Quest for Calatia. We have had some pretty good talks and I have sent him some of my custom sprites for his hack but my most important contribution has to be my ideas. Yeah, I know I’m sure almost everyone has their own ideas that they think are awesome but my ideas are pretty good and I always test them out in Hyrule Magic to make sure they work. Of course it’s all top secret stuff but for instance here is a sample of an idea I came up with. Ok in alttp there is a cape which turns you invisible, a statue with you can move and floor spikes which hurt you when you stand on them. When you are using the cape and you push a statue your magic meter goes down “like da we all know that” but did you know this when you are using the cape and you pull a statue your magic meter does not go down?! Yes that’s right! So if you are pulling on a statue and using the cape you will never loose any magic power! Ok, so here is the idea, you have to move the statue over on top of a floor switch to open a sealed door. You make a maze like design out of the small railing barriers and you cover the area Link must move the statue over with the floor spikes. You make Link move the statue over such a long area that the player can not move the statue to the switch by pushing it because their magic will run out and they will die so the player can only do it by pulling it.

If you haven’t been here check it out. http://www.questforcalatia.net/Zelda3C/

Here is a possible design layout.




You can see the statue on the left and that it needs to be moved to the switch on the right. I can get the statue past all of these nails with out loosing a single heart and with out a single potion jar or fairy and it’s all done by pulling the statue instead of pushing it. Pretty cool, huh and this isn’t cheating at all, it is simply how the game was made.

So DiscoPeach you know about the limitless magic cape trick very impressive! As for help I’m willing to try to answer any of your questions and give my opinion on anything that you do and I might be able to offer some good advice but all of my time really is being spent working on the Quest for Calatia hack but you never know if you send me a sprite and tell me what you want to may be able to help but no promises. One day I would like to do my own hack but I don’t know it is a lot of work seriously. My e-mail is erockbrox-at-yahoo-dot-com and you can e-mail me anytime. Regarding the progress for Quest for Calatia I don’t really know how far it is towards completion. The main guy who is making it, Gamemakr24 has spent seven years making it and its still probably going to be several more years before it’s completed. All I know is that the team of people creating this hack is very talented. Gamemakr24 is writing is very own programs to work in conjunction with hyrule magic. Another guy who is an ASM hacker is writing brand new code for brand new enemies check out this link for the video.

There are also several spriters/pixel artists and song composers. I really don’t know where I fit in I just try to help out anyway I can and the reason why I’m working on this hack is because when it is finished its going to be pretty darn epic, so epic that I want to be a part of it. The only problem is that I’ve sent the guy a bunch of stuff but haven’t heard back from him yet. I don’t know if my ideas are just too radical or he hasn’t had time to reply back but I’m hoping we are still partners. The best way to know about the progress of the game is to go to the website and check for updates. You can e-mail me with any questions regarding hacking zelda3 and using hyrule magic and I will probably e-mail you my questions and maybe we can working together and figure out how to use this program fluently.
