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

Equipping the Slam Ring replaces throws with powerful strikes, now supports the new enemy-to-enemy collision damage. Slamming Bombs also fastens their detonation cycles significantly. #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign

Archives from around 2018 for an unnamed Zelda fangame. Sadly can't find anything else about it

Games I got interest from during the Expedition 33 Awards.

Zelda Oracle rom hack I'd like to get back to some day.

Think I need a pause, my recent work has been sloppy and haven't been proud of it. Health is also worsening for some fuckass reason and it doesn't help.

Ultra Sword Kirby ⚔️

Different approach since peeps are complaining

Adding a bunch of small improvements, like telling you when Link is about to resurface naturally from diving 🌊 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Been working on Sword Combat, here's some of the techniques you'll have at your disposal and how they differ from each other 🗡️ #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Since I replayed ALTTP on GBA, I thought, why not add the Rupee Stones? If you see any sparkling rocks on your travels, be sure to hit them and you shall be rewarded! 💎 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Replayed the GBA port of ALTTP, holds up surprisingly well. Also the 1st time I cleared the Palace of the Four Sword, cool bonus dungeon! Only thing I haven't done is the Hurricane Spin Riddles, codes I found didn't work for some reason.

There's a lot of you following the project now, so I'll be transparent on what it actually is and how things are going to be structured. 🧵 This is a classic game honoring & reimagining the first 30 years of Zelda. It's the "Sonic Generations" of this series. It's ambitious.

When low on health, you'll now enter Peril Mode, a new mechanic which allows comebacks against very strong foes. Will have further potential with the Rings system💍 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

The feedback seems to agree to keep minutes in, so I decided to go with this. It means I won't be keeping the option to change into the 12-hour format. Thank you for understanding.

I'm currently in the process redesigning the clock for the HUD, would you like the minutes shown even though they won't matter gameplay-wise? Screens for reference.

Added more rupee variants, based on how many you'll drop upon death.

Curse be to imprudent adventurers who perish alongside half their riches... For death is a cruel toll often paid in cold... 🪦 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Finally starting this game

The Bomb + Arrows combo is back! There are a few ways to activate it: -Press both item buttons at the same time -Lift a bomb, then press the bow button -While aiming the bow, press the bomb button #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

On a small hiatus, but I remade my controls sheet for better clarity :)

Today's post is on the smaller side, but you can now choose between a 24-hour or 12-hour format for the in-game clock 🕓 #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #retrogame #pixelart

Brief overview of one of my favorite Linktober drawings! #Linktober #artposting #process

You like options? How about having the HUD below the screen, like Link's Awakening? #zelda #fangame #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart #retrogame
