Hack description

This hack creates the experience of "Hero Mode" from later Zelda games in A Link to the Past.

There are three versions of the hack:
- "Hero Mode" has double damage and no heart drops akin to the Hero mode found in many Zelda games.
- "ALBW Hero Mode" has quadruple damage, but does have heart drops like in A Link Between Worlds.
- "Superhero Mode" has quadruple damage and no heart drops.

Choose whichever version you want and apply its .ips file to an unheadered US ALttP rom.

If you're not interested in the ASM source code then just ignore the "asm" folder. It's not needed.

Enjoy!

4x Damage with no Hearts is as Challenging as it sounds	Mylocke	2023-12-06	Version 1.0
This was a really big challenge for me, even as a 30 year veteran of the game. -No heart drops and 4x damage- makes me go crying back to the witches hut and nearest fairy fountain often as well as challenging me to be patient and not get touched by essentially anything. Very fun challenge and If you want to get angry at yourself for not being patient, give it a go. If you've played most of the Zelda3 hacks and need something really crazy going back to the vanilla experience... do it.
