After years of not being here Mr. Z has returned. Using the skills he learned from scripting and the new and advanced graphics that have appeared he decided to make another game!
This is not it though.

Description
This is a joke quest, for those who haven't noticed yet. There are many bugs and oddities in this quest, but they are all on purpose. The quest can be finished without getting yourself stuck.
There are 4 dungeons that can be played in any order, except for the last one of course. As a reward for playing through the game, the 4th dungeon was properly designed, unlike the other 3.
ALTTZ is designed to feel like a journey through a starting quest maker's learning progress. The amount of bugs keeps decreasing and the quality of the overworld and dungeon keeps going up, although still with signs of poor design such as overpowered enemies and too easy to get items.

Story
A Link To The Zelda.
This quest is divided in 4 sagas spread through 4 dungeons:
Snake dungeon saga:
The giant snake king has turned Hyrule into a desert! Link, go destroy the giant snake king before everyone in Hirule gets a sunburn!
Level 2 saga:
The evil Dark Wizard is threatening to spoil your next birthday, take him down!
The Great Dekku Tree saga:
Link, I just received report that the Dark Wizard has been revived! And he cursed the Great Dekku Tree!
Hurry up Link and save the Great Dekku Tree on Dead Mountain! What?! The Dark Wizard's evil brother joined him?
Agnahims Tower saga:
Link, it's time to take down your biggest enemy so far, the evil pig king Gannon!
He's waiting for you at Agnahims Tower, but you're not going to keep him waiting, are you, hero of swords?

Tips & Cheats
Don't bother with the first three dungeons, they have crappy (read: worthless) items.
The stuff you want is on the overworld.
Look for the Wealth Medals, the Lens of Truth/Magic, and the hidden (but required) desert shop that sells awesome items.
Oh yeah, I didn't disable cheats or a password for this quest, so go wild if you really don't know what to do anymore.
Originally it was intended to be much bigger, but the stupidity of this quest started to hurt physically at times, so it's shorter now. Be glad.

I think Anthus said it well. Sometimes a short quest that's deliberately weird/quirky/odd can make for a fun play, and that's what this was. The intentional bugs were funny. There's some genuinely decent level design and charm mixed in with the weirdness. I also don't know what half of the rings and scrolls are supposed to do, but I guess it's nice to earn an item seemingly every screen. This is a decent way to kill a few hours. Adjust your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed.

This quest has a certain charm to it. I think you captured the "learning experience" feel pretty well. I've made it to the third dungeon, and have explored most of the overworld, and I have to say, it's a pretty fun quest. Some of the intentionally bad design choices (like virtually empty screens near the start) were kind of boring, but hey, it's not like this is a supr srs advanture. The dungeons are interesting, despite the minimalist effort.
My only real complain is, I don't know what some of the items do. I'm not sure what the rings do, cause I got one that I thought looked like the peril ring, but it doesn't seem to work that way, and I wasn't sure what the green scroll was that you get when you kill the Link clone near the third dungeon.
I'm giving this a solid three. It is a fun little romp, and can be enjoyed by anyone not put off by Classic in its bearest form.

Honestly, this quest is actually...pretty decent. Yes, you make stuff too easy to get if they're all bunched together, but there are some good signs here. Love how you did Aganheim's Tower.
This gets a solid 3. Just flat out 3, no decimal point needed. Also buying heart containers kinda made this a little too easy. My advice is if you're gonna put heart container pieces/heart containers in shops, make them cost 999. I had to deduct a full star mainly because you made heart containers too cheap in shops.
