Over a year ago, ZeldaClassic.com held a contest for an official fourth quest to be included in the release version of Zelda Classic 2.5. Because I was slow to get the news, I had little time to submit a version myself, yet I still wanted to try.

However, I found a few of the rules for the official fourth quest contest to be a little restricting for me. These were mostly aesthetic issues, such as graphics and music, but some involved gameplay elements as well. Fortunately, by continuing on without the rules in mind, I was able to create alternate versions of the original quests with new tiles, extra music, and some extra gameplay tweaks.

In general, mapmaking is not one of my strengths; but I am not that bad of a dungeon builder. Therefore, this quest is an alternate version of the first quest.

I played this quest myself extensively and am certain everything is working right. If there are any major bugs, do not rate the game, but do inform me and I will fix them as soon as I can.

I hope you enjoy it.

**UPDATE 1/5/11**
I added some new tiles and combos to improve the aesthetics, including Zelda II grass (non-mowable); made minor changes in some dungeon layouts; added a few more secrets; and, by popular demand, reduced the number of "Door Repair" charges. The game should still be bug free. Once again, if there are any major bugs, do not rate the game, but do inform me and I will fix them as soon as I can.

Aside from prerequisite Heart Containers, you will often need certain items to obtain a sword upgrade.
