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?

Justice

That is awesome, can I get that level somehow? & I started a Destructoid Head level today I'll post a picture of it in a blog in a bit.

Neonie

Haha that is pretty cool, I am most impressed with the outside and inside of the dungouns but all if it seems pretty accurate. Bravo.

pendelton21

Wow. This makes me proud to live in the gaming community of today. Brilliant people making brilliant things such as this. God bless you, sir! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Miguelcar808

How about Mario

Cheeburga

Holy shit that was awesome.

The Bez

a metroid themed set would be pretty sweet

Snaileb

So motherfucking epic!! I bought N when it came out, but just tried it last night. I got to .15, and Im in love!!! where's the how to guide?!

king3vbo

AMAZING. I need this

Rainbowblack

WOW, now if only MS would stop being weenies and let us trade our creations

that is really something

deaddays

Serioulsy? Is eveyone really that impressed by this? Don't mean to be negative or anything, but that was a retarded waste of time.

Chad Concelmo

As an added note: Everyone needs to download N+. It is one of my favorite games so far this year.

That is all. :)

Chad Concelmo

@deaddays,
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.

Hitogoroshi

Insanely awesome!

Holyetheline

I want to play these levels! WOW SO COOL!!!

Soulhammer

N+ rocks, and anything to do with N+ rocks.

Fact.

Knives

Awesome, I wonder how well it would play, but still cool.

Chad Concelmo

@Jetsetlemming,
That was amazing. Ha ha! :)

MechaMonkey

Yeah, I need to download this.

manasteel88

this is the exact reason why I am enraged by MS blocking the sharing of UGC in this game

@jetsetlemming...Knytt rules

Steel Squirrel

Haha Chad...... when is something not the most amazing thing you've seen?

Snaileb

Chad : Please tell me there's a how to guide...

lucashoal

@Jetsetlemming - yeah, that wins so much more.

Daynger777

Holy chit man! That was so nostalgic. I agree that the most impressive part was the incredible attention to detail. Also I love the fact that even the triforce room at the end (which is supposed to be the moment of victory and relief) looks hard as hell!

Great work though... that's nuts

Chad Concelmo

@Steel Squirrel,
Good point. :)

Chad Concelmo

@Snaileb,
I don't think there is. I am in the process of finding out.

B-Radicate

I think I'd be truly impressed if I played either of those games ever. As it stands, just looks like a lot of blocks set around. I can barely tell what's happening in the video. I fail.

Sharpless

That's impressive. And that's not an opinion, that's FACT. Bloody awesome. I want N+. I love the original.

Snaileb

Thanks dude.

Tino

Not only was THAT amazing. The related videos of the 4 player co op levels were AMAZING too.

kintaeb

This (wo)man has earned themselves 100 internets. This is not only for designing the levels, but actually being skilled enough to complete them.

NightDehumidifier

Looks stupid, he should've done a replica of a good game like Resistance or Gears.

NihonTiger90

Insanely AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!

ceark

wow. that looks like alot of work.

Rifter01

Cooool .. 'cept it might just piss a little in Nintendo's cheerios a bit

Epic Win!

Capn Birdseye

I lived through the 80s once already, and once is enough.

No thanks.

Wedge

That's pretty cool. I hate circle pieces though D=.

Also that Knytt mod is awesome.

Pixel Blue

Wow. This has already been said, but that the levels seem to work just fine in a side-scrolling format ... that's awesome.

AlienGuy18

I'm also working on some classic maps.

Hank Peters

A++ for the amount of effort put into it, but I still got bored watching it. I love N, so it must be the old Zelda music.

HarassmentPanda

AMAZING!!! is all that can be said.

Dexter345

Whoa.

ghettobelmontes

Amazing, simply amazing.
