Owls hoot. Crickets chirp. Frogs croak. It's nighttime in the jungle swamp; the heavy scent of decaying foliage and pond scum pervades the warm, humid air. Yet amid the stagnant calm of their surroundings, the Deku tribe is in a panic. The waters that surround their palace have grown foul and noxious, threatening the tribe's livelihood. Even worse, the princess is nowhere to be found!

But who's that—there, riding in on that boat? It's NewJourneysFire, Xenix, and Linkus! Which adventurer will rescue the princess, return the poisoned waters to their rightful state, and restore peace among the Deku?

I voted for NewJourneysFire's SotM. I just love how he uses the mountain tiles!

Torn between NJF and Xenix, but I might have to shift over to NJF since that is some really unique design and the fact that it's made with the classic set makes it pretty damn cool.

NJF all the way. The shading he achieved, the shape of the cliffs looks so natural, and the amount of detail using NES quality graphics is astounding. Those are some insane classic mountains

I love NJF's screen. That minimap in the passive subscreen is just amazing! How in the name of all that is holy did you make it so detailed?

I love NJF's Shot. Thanks for the TRIFORCE spoiler!

For this SotY I had to vote for NFJ. That incredible usage of the classic tileset is something that cannot be forgotten. It is the only screen in this grouping of SotY that really stands out to me simply because of the creative usage of mountain shadows. The other screens are also incredible though, so congratulations to all the contestants!

NewJourneysFire, Xenix, and Linkus trudge through the foul swamp, searching for any clues that would lead them to the poison's source or the princess' kidnapper. Lily pad tendrils ensnare our adventurers' legs with each step. Growing weary from physical exertion, Xenix chooses to back out. The remaining two use their noses to guide them ever closer to the stench's origin. Before long, Linkus succumbs to the odor and returns back for fresher air. Only NewJourneysFire is able to enter Woodfall Temple, conquer the beasts within, restore the water's purity, and—sure enough—find the princess.
