Okay, I am not even exaggerating. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
Using the custom level editor in N+ for XBLA, user 007craft managed to create side-scrolling platformer levels to resemble the level design in NES masterpiece The Legend of Zelda.
Honestly, it is kind of hard to explain. You just need to watch it. Like, right now.
Incredible, huh? He/she even managed to get the monster placement perfect. And notice how the exit gate keys are placed in the caves? And Aquamentus?! DID YOU SEE AQUAMENTUS?! Genius! Granted, I might be a little more impressed than the average person since the levels I have designed in N+ consist of a straight platform with only two stationary mines to jump over.
What do you think? Are there any other classic games you would love to see recreated in the world of N+ (um, Metroid please!)? And why is everyone in this world so much more frickin’ talented than I am?

that is really something
That is all. :)
I totally respect your opinion, but designing levels in N+ is tough. And to have top down perspective maps from The Legend of Zelda transferred successfully to a side-scrolling platformer? That is impressive.
Sorry to waste your time. :)
Beaten by a far more amazingly awesome mod.
Fact.
That was amazing. Ha ha! :)
@jetsetlemming...Knytt rules
Great work though... that's nuts
Good point. :)
I don't think there is. I am in the process of finding out.
Epic Win!
No thanks.
Also that Knytt mod is awesome.
Still, nice job >_>
Play the original guys, its only $5 on virtual console if you don't own it already. and the wii is the cheapest of the systems...
If nintendo hadn't saved the gaming industry you probably wouldn't have had gears. respect your elders in gaming, lest the master sword fall upon your head.
