Hack description

Tired of staring at the same-old same-old graphics for 35 years? Sick of games with too much detail? Well, has the person writing this got news for you.

Presenting: The Legend Of Zelda (Chunky Edition), a complete graphics hack that decreases graphical fidelity by almost 100%! Why? Because Zero Meaning could. No other reason (or meaning) is necessary.

This hack is for:

• People who want to experience Zelda in a new way.

• Folk who enjoy cute, chunky art styles.

• Those whose blurry CRTs have almost given up the ghost.

• Pathetic man-children who have tantrums about too much detail in their games.

The base game has been left unchanged. For all intents and purposes, it's still the same Zelda you know and love with a new (thicker) coat of paint. So don't worry, you can still block clip (probably).
Oh, and Link's Blue Ring colour has been changed because the original was just ghastly.

Also included is an alternate .IPS with no dungeon floor tiles and reduced detail sand.

Happy adventuring!

Looks good on small screens	Uncle_Jo	2022-06-05	Version 1,0
I tend to play roms on my handheld emulator, with a 3 inch screen. These graphics look great on that. I put together a few randomizer quests with this graphic set. Infinite tiny Zeldas for me!

I like the style of the graphics	U retro	2021-05-01	Version 1,0
I like the style of the graphics, it reminds me of some games from the Commodore 64 and the Atari 7800...

Like a window if Zelda were on the Atari 7800!	Bluestreak	2021-04-30	Version 1,0
I love how this hack looks. It feels like if Zelda were ported to the Atari 7800, maybe even the 5200/Atari 8-bit computer. I would say Commodore 64 too, but this uses more than 16 colours. I highly recommend this hack for the different visuals and retro computer look, and if you want a change of pace.

I love this.	azeryn	2021-04-28	Version 1,0
I love this. This is by far my favorite sprite set that people have used for this game. This is going to be my go-to graphics for every randomizer I do from now on.
