Every time I started a project in the Classic tileset, I dreaded the time it took to modify and tweak Classic so that it felt up to modern standards. This process often meant gathering Classic-themed, community-made, assets from the database, discord channels, and private DM groups. I could spend hours grabbing assets for import and setting them up for use. This precious time should have been used for actual development of the quest.

Enough was enough -- I finally decided to call upon the help of Shane, a wonderfully talented spriter, to help me compile a tileset that would breathe new life into Classic. Of course, this went on to become Cambria. Shane and I, along with a list of amazing community members, pooled our efforts into Cambria to deliver (what we hope) will become the definitive way to experience the retro Zelda aesthetic.

What does Cambria offer?

• Over a hundred new classic-themed item sprites
• New mountains, types of foliage, decorative objects, and town tiles
• Brand-new community-made House interior and Lush dungeon wall sets
• An expanded NPC combo selection
• A dungeon decoration and organization overhaul
• Re-organized tile pages.
• Over 20 brand-new palettes to use for your overworlds, dungeons, and caverns
• An expanded palette structure to give your items and detailing more color
• New default subscreens
• A wide array of new default midis, sequenced by Vlamart
• ...And more - play around with the set and see what strikes your fancy!

Shane, myself, and everyone else who contributed sincerely hope you enjoy your time using Cambria! Do note that this is a 1.0 release of the set and that there may be oversights. Please reach out to me if you encounter any bugs with combo properties, or have general tileset suggestions. Do not bother messaging Shane, as he is not responsible for tileset organization.
