Information
Zodiac: Story of the Guardian is a tribute to the best games I remember playing on the NES as a small child. Megaman, Blaster Master, the Guardian Legend, Metroid... games that reward tough memorization of enemy patterns, deep exploration, and scary bosses. This uses the Zelda Classic engine, but don't be fooled - it has more in common with Symphony of the Night than it does any game in the Zelda series.

The game mixes side-scrolling exploration with overhead-view shoot-em-up levels, like The Guardian Legend. Also like TGL, the introduction level will dump you into the action, and you may find it overwhelming at first. I assure you, once you learn the patterns and develop a plan of attack, it is completely beatable. It will not, however, be easy.
=========== CONFIGURATION ==============
The game expects your buttons to be laid out this way:
A B
L R
A and B are used for your items, as normal.
L is used in flying levels to deploy a massive laser blast which clears out enemies but also consumes your energy at a very fast rate. The key to doing well in the flying level is knowing when to hit the blast so you can refill your energy with drops from the result.
R is used in side-scrolling levels to activate the dash when you have it. Holding R will allow the Guardian to move at double her normal speed, but it consumes Energy to do so.
========= NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED ============
That's right. Until the quest is actually completed, you are free to open the quest file, look around, cheat, or do whatever. If you find a script that is useful to you, by all means, help yourself. I warn you, though, that if you sequence break using cheats too much you will quickly find yourself totally lost in the game.
