Spell of Mudora is very much a Z1-like quest, but has a lot of modern stuff and QoL updates added in it.

Features:
- Bow & Arrow instead of Sword as the main A-button weapon (no sword available at all, in fact!)
- enemy defenses have been rebalanced to be possible to beat the game without a sword

- Shield is no longer a passive item, instead it locks you onto place when you use it. Also has some other added functionality!

- new items and new takes on existing Z1 items and mechanics

- new enemies, some from later Zelda games
- modified enemies, expect to see some twists to familiar Z1 enemies, as well as new variants of old enemies

- custom bosses and minibosses
- miniboss portals in dungeons

- there are a few choice based items, but not all lock you into a certain choice

- No door repair rooms!

- 20 Secret Seashells to collect

- ladder is janky and buggy, so it usually is disabled in certain platforming puzzle rooms

- F6 cannot be used to continue, only to save. The quest's whistle equivalent will take you to the entrace of dungeons. You can continue when you die.


UPDATE 15/10/2024:
- fixed lots of graphical errors (undercombos missing, tile errors, layering issues)
- changed the game over music
- fixed partially solid tiles on screen edges causing possible softlocks on some screens
- nerfed some rooms in later dungeons (nasty wizzrobe rooms)

UPDATE 3/11/2024

The hero " Link " has fallen and thus the resurrection of the Prince of Darkness " Gannon" has been succesful. Most of Hyrule has already fallen into ruin and is ruled by " Gannon". " Gannon " has retreated to his lair in Spectacle Rock. " Gannon " sealed his lair with dark power and the seal can only be undone with the " Spell of Mudora ", long lost to time. Heroine " Zelda ", you must go forth and seek the " 8 Pages of Mudora " across palaces to complete the spell and put an end to " Gannon's " reign.

The secrets in this quest are your regular Z1 secrets, so tingle that Z1 sense!

Maze paths can be obtained by paying for info (or just bruteforcing if that is up your alley).

You can only save the game by F6ing, so no healing to full health with it!
