CD-i game “Zelda’s Adventure” gets unofficial Game Boy port

There was a bit of a dark time in Nintendoโ€™s history where they allowed their IP to be used for games on the Philips CD-i. This paved the way for new Mario and Legend of Zelda titles on the platform, but they were created by developers that had absolutely nothing to do with Nintendo. Nintendoโ€™s input on these games was incredibly minimal at best, and as you no doubt know, their quality was disappointing to say the least.

One of those games was Zeldaโ€™s Adventure, which is widely considered to be the better of the two original Zelda titles that released on the CD-i. Thatโ€™s not saying much, of course, as both games are incredibly low quality. If there games in the Legend of Zelda franchise that fans havenโ€™t played (and are better for it!), these are the two.

Well, now you have the chance to experience Zeldaโ€™s Adventure in a whole new way. While Nintendo no doubt wants fans to forget these licensed titles ever existed, hacker/modder John Lay has taken Zeldaโ€™s Adventure and completely reworked it for the Game Boy. This homemade demake uses Linkโ€™s Awakening as a base to rebuild Zeldaโ€™s Adventure, which results in a version that is more modest visually, but no doubt a better gameplay experience.
