Welcome, one and all, to the exquisite 2nd Anniversary Contest (of the 20th Anniversary Contest)!

We have gotten several entries for you all to play and enjoy to their full extent! You can download them all here: Download Link!
The entries submitted, and their presentation if any was written will now follow:

----------------------
Entry: NoContest
By: Hugh Jasshol
Presentation:
Extraordinary news! I, Hugh Jasshol, have decided to grace this contest with my magnum opus: NoContest.qst. It is the best quest, without any contest. I spent a number of days that is greater than two working on this record breakingly massive quest. You will love it. Fight the monsters, collect the items from Zelda 1, explore a vast and mysterious world that I, Hugh Jasshol, have carefully crafted with my bare hands and sometimes feet. The quest is completed on locating and defeating Ganon and hitting the Quest Completion Button. Let me know if you encounter any bugs so that I might correct you on the bugs you have encountered. This quest has no bugs, it is a masterpiece. This is the Hugh Jasshol guarantee.

Entry: Triangle Destiny
By: Cethar
Presentation:
Today I, Cethar, bring you, the latest absolute classic to grace the world of Zelda:
Triangle Destiny! A new adventure where Link must collect the Triangles, stab a pig,
and of course, save the princess!

This classical adventure will undoubtedly be a new classic for the times to come,
complete with the classical gameplay you have come to expect from a classic zelda title;
full of classical items, enemies, bosses, and most importantly of all: adventure!

----------------------

Those are the entries people, feel free to play them and enjoy what was made for contest. Now, obviously, since this is a contest there will be voting and a winner too! The voting period will be three weeks (till the 18th October) to give people plenty of time to sit down and play the entries, after which I will take the time to compile everyone's votes and announce the winner!

But how do you vote? That's simple, included in this very post is a form, and all you need to do is fill it in and post in this very thread. (or DM it to me if you're more into lurking than posting!) Now, these voting categories are all in some ways inspired by the entries from the contest which this one takes it's name sake from, however; they are very loose and up for interpretation as to how you personally view them! Don't think too hard and just fill in how you feel!

I will briefly introduce each voting category now:

Pancake Mountains: How stacked are the mountains?
Charm: How charming do you find the entry?
Labyrinthesque: How labyrinthine is the quest?
Classical: How classical is the entry?
Uniqueness: Does it break the mold?
Funny: Did you find the entry humorous?
Aesthetics: Pretty looking, flashy, good sounding, stuff like that!
Design & Difficulty: Aggregate what you think about the design and difficulty!

These categories go from 0 to 100 each, and will be added up to make up your total score for each entry! Further more, we have a few bonus categories which will not provide any score what-so-ever towards winning the contest, but it might be funny. In these ones, just fill in your quest of choice! (Bonus Categories does not need to be filled in).

Don't worry if you're an entrant to this very contest, you can still submit a rating for every entry if you want to keep up a facade. We will simply not count your vote for your own entry!
As for scoring themselves, we will add all votes together and then divide by number of votes, so each entry will get a fair shake against the other ones no matter how many or few ratings they get! (And I will be rating every entry at the least, so a score is guaranteed!)

Voting form can be found here: (just quote or copy and paste it to your post!)

Spoiler

I would like to give a special thanks to everyone who took the time to make and submitted an entry to this contest.
Even if two of these entries went a smidge over the deadline, I'd rather accept them than going forward with a contest that is won by default.

Now, that is all; Go on and enjoy these quests, and maybe take the time to rate them if you feel like it!

Voting Deadline: 18th October 23:00 GMT+1

You were able to get Triangle Destiny to work? I tried it and it wouldn't let me walk in caves. Then I edited them to remove the top solid half and all the caves made the game freeze.

Triangle Destiny requires a specific build of 2.55; it seems like some bugs have been introduced in the later ones. Are you using the Alpha that was released yesterday-ish? If not, you should upgrade to it. If so, you might need to backtrack to a specific nightly.

Trying to figure out who made who. I think I've pegged down who Hugh Jasshol is, and Bnnuy also seems pretty obvious. I'm at a bit of a loss for Cethar though.

Ah yeah, Dimi had issues with that one bugging out and crashing on a boss fight with what seemed to be a regular gleeok (though it didn't crash on the first one). So a specific version of Zelda classic 2.55 might be needed due to bugs introduced. When I pestered the author of the quest they pointed this to this message/build release by Emily in the official discord: Link Discord, Build Download

I guess this is the danger of in-dev versions being used in a contest, and my reasoning for being against it in the first place. ._.

I know there hasn't been much interest in this contest, but I have finally had the time to sit down and finalize the scores from all the judges since voting closed this monday. (That would be, mine and Avaro's votes, since no one else decided to vote).

So! Here are the final placements as well as the author of the various entries:

First place goes to: Dimi with the entry MadeIn2Months
Second place is: Moosh with NoContest
(Triangle Destiny was disqualified).

So, congrats to Dimi for winning this contest, and Moosh for not being too far behind! For those who are interested in the gritty details and numbers, as well as how I personally voted, see below:
