Zelda is going on hiatus for a while, as I've got other important stuff to do in life. See you all soon, hopefully!

I'm proud to announce that I am now a part of Grape Garden Games! Please check out this new footage of Waddle Knight Deluxe and the Gooey game, along with many other awesome fangames! Follow @grapegardengames.bsky.social for more updates! #Kirby #Nintendo #Gamedev #Indiedev #Fangame

Pitting the 1st Gen Ring against the 2 monster types I've showcased thus far. So retro! #zelda #fangame

Hero and Dark Knight, locked in a fierce battle to the death. Who will prevail in the end? ⚔️ I've been working real hard on stuff, I'm proud to show a cinematic small snippet of a battle against Darknuts! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #gaming #retrogame #pixelart

Mina the Hollower has officially gone GOLD! The game is complete and has begun the submissions process with our first-party partners. We’ll know the final release date soon and as soon as we can share it, you’ll know it. Thank you for sticking with us. We can’t wait for you to play!

I've received multiple suggestions for making the Sword & Shield have their own buttons. If you agree with this, can you explain your reasoning? Many thanks in advance 🙂

Time for some barrel stealth action! Can I go around without being seen? 🥷 >🐙 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gameplay #gamedesign #pixelart

My dear, dear Skringle, Your existence has yet to be forgotten. The time of your return is nigh, that I promise with my whole being. May it be tomorrow, or in a thousand years... The people of the land shall at last know happiness. Eternal praise be to Lord Skringle.

More Octorok footage with added tweaks. It's becoming real satisfying to fight! Notice how using your different tools allow you to approach them in various ways? If you have trouble evading their projectiles, try equipping a shield! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

About Me: Games (Zelda Edition) Not sure what this means, but trend looked fun :)

After months of procrastination, we finally have our first enemy, the classic Octorok! You may find they're a little more aggressive and involved than before, so stay on your toes and fight! (Parts are still WIP) #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

Made my decision, thanks everyone for helping me pick! :D

Yo, I got $20 to spend on gaming, please help me decide on something from my wishlist? Any recs? Thanks!

Squished boi

The Hero of the Stars and the Sky, hand drawn. Please, play RUBATO!🐸

Slowly getting back into making game again. Now, attacks that would hit multiple enemies at once will have a 2-frame delay between each enemy's damage. Incredibly more satisfying! 💥 #zelda #fangame #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

RUBATO. Out now on PC & Console. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Poll: Has anybody used Quick Equip reliably in A Link Between Worlds? Or was the pause menu sufficient enough? Asking for science. #zelda

Here's 9 games that are playing a huge part in my fangame's design, each in their own special way. Do you enjoy any of these? :)

Additional comparison of the original DKL2 to my repixelled version! #pixelart #gameboy

I haven't talked a whole lot about the project lately, so: Life's still a bit messy, been working on writing & story which I can't really show or talk about. Also looking to restructure some of the side projects (more details at a later date). Website is also still happening.

"Sakon's Hideout Protected by impenetrable security!"

The amount of people mistakenly thinking I'm porting the Oracles to PC has only increased in spades with this last showcase, despite how clear I'm trying to be about this whole project. Might just be an unwinnable battle for me at this point, I'm sorry for any confusion.

As per tradition, old sprites for new monsters! I have to say I'm relly into the new game feel and I love all of these guys so freaking much. 🌊🍃 #pokemonwindsandwaves #pixelart #pokemon

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Seasons turn 25 today! To celebrate this and the 40th anniversary of the franchise, here's a "Oracles" themed showcase for my GBC-themed fangame ⌛️🌱 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #oracleofseasons #oracleofages #pixelart

Now to talk about BS The Legend of Zelda. This one's interesting, because it recontextualized the first game into a series of broadcasts while also acting as a remake! Nowadays, it's only playable via emulation.

May the Legend continue forever! Happy 40th to this wonderful series! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc13...

This was a needed reminder that hard work WILL eventually pay off as long as you keep doing your very best... I haven't been productive much this year due to many life events sucking the energy outta me, but we WILL make it one day, promise! ❤️‍🩹

Meant to make this a quote thread, oopsie 💀 Here's the one about The Legend of Zelda (NES) bsky.app/profile/alex...

What a way to start this wonderful series! The fact they start you out with so very little context and leaves players to figure it all out, either through play or making out the info from the manual, speaks volumes about its confidence in this concept.

Over the rest of this month, I'll be making positive threads about each mainline Zelda game for the 40th anniversary, from LOZ to EOW! Maybe adding some of the spin-offs I've played too! Series always was an important part of my life and it deserves recognition :)

Making time for your loved ones is all about creating memories you'll treasure for the rest of your lives ❤️ #zelda #fangame #gamedev #pixelart

So, Zelda's 40th anniversary is on February 21st, not sure if I'll be able to prepare something for it. Would love a new compilation vid, but no promises. I might shift focus to one of the side projects for the remainder of the year, wanna have something out sooner than later.

Aversion to fangames is incredibly baffling considering fanart & fan-remixes are ever so present and widely accepted. I'd even argue that fangames are fanart, with so few even considering monetization.

This game will allow magic to be used as long as the meter isn't empty. It may deplete faster with some higher costs, but a speck will suffice to attack. #zelda #fangame #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign

To those confused when I'm talking about "Context Actions", they're what overwrite item inputs under certain circumstances. In this picture, "Swimming" and "Diving" are considered context actions, so they are highlighted differently.

Small HUD Tweaks 📜 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

Frankly, no one should've been able to play this game, how I managed to pull this release off in only two years is seriously beyond me. Lightning in a bottle I'll never be able to replicate, design and time-wise. I still boot it up now & then and feel a vast array of emotions.

Since Remote Bombs don't use fuses to detonate like regular Bombs do, I thought "Why not allow them to be used underwater?" ...So that's what I did 💥🌊 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

New year, new HUD✨ (Black variant will still be available in settings) #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Having the Sword & Shield not take up a slot was very important to me for expanding the unintended freedom given by the gameboy titles. Official remakes would lock them to their own button, but I wanted to give a choice. Keep them on at all times, or change if needed.

Quickly swap between items with a tap of right joystick! Left/Right to select your slot & Up/Down to swap that item 🔁 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign

Equip the Charge Ring to significantly reduce all charge times for items & attacks. Hit faster, stronger to gain the upper hand! 🗡️🏹 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart (Suppose I can re-record old stuff while I'm on break)

Is there anything you dislike about the Gameboy Zelda games? What changes would you make? Just genuinely curious. *My own answers, you'll see in the fangame(s)*

Thanks for understanding, things have been tough. May 2026 be kind to you all🌟

After some long & hard consideration, I've come to the conclusion that I was indeed not doing my best, so starting from now, the project will look much better, just like this! #pixelart #retro

Progress from today! We now have a train station, rails, electric poles, a river and more! #pixelart

Jumping for joy, now Roll Jumps have a new, faster flip animation. Happy holidays! #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign
