Reclamation

Reclamation is a Zelda game that I designed. It runs in Zelda Classic v2.10.2, which is a PC port of the Zelda 1 engine with many new features. Reclamation sports 16-bit, Game Boy Color quality graphics, as well as new enemies and items.

Reclamation is a full-length game, with 128 overworld screens, 9 large dungeons, and 3 smaller sidequest dungeons. It should take skilled Zelda players around 15-20 hours to complete.
