The Legend of Zelda: Zelda 3D

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda 3D is a ROM hack of the original Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released on April 4, 2016, by RetroRain, this hack introduces an incomplete fake 3D effect inspired by Rad Racer, along with improved storyboard text. It is noted for its gimmicky nature and is not fully complete, particularly in dungeon areas. Players are advised to use the 3D effect sparingly for health reasons.

Zelda 3D is a hack that was meant to be a little gimmicky. It fixes the storyboard text like the GameBoy Advance version does, and it adds an incomplete fake 3D effect. Please see readme for details, and before playing.

Please note that this hack is not complete, and may not be completed by me, as I am seriously considering getting away from computer work altogether. I've been having really bad eyestrains, and as much as I love ROM hacking, I care more about my health.

The 3D feature is incomplete. In the basement part of dungeons, the 3D effect will not work. I simply had to add a check for those to get it to work. And the desired palette changes that I wanted, I did not implement yet. The palette changes were to be those used in Rad Racer's 3D effect.

This hack was inspired by the 3D effect used in Rad Racer. I wanted to take it from Rad Racer, and add it to The Legend of Zelda, and call it Zelda 3D. Yes, it's gimmicky, but it sounded cool to me. The 3D effect I implemented is not even real 3D.

Incase you were wondering, no, I did not get bad eyestrains from the 3D effect that I implemented in the hack. I got them by the amount of hours of continuous focus I put into the hack, dealing with the code. I sat at the computer sometimes 6 hours straight, without taking a break, because I wanted to get this hack done as quickly as possible.

PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THE WHOLE GAME WITH THE 3D EFFECT ON. IT IS NOT SMART. BE MINDFUL OF YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEALTH. THE 3D EFFECT IS JUST MEANT TO BE A NOVELTY THING. SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST PLAY WITH FOR A BIT. THE WHOLE GAME IS NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH IT ON. IT IS NOT EVEN REAL 3D, IT IS INCOMPLETE, AND IT WILL NOT WORK IN THE BASEMENTS OF DUNEGEONS. THANK YOU.
