The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: A Link to The Past: ReLink

Project ReLink: A Link To The Past, Layout & Logic Modification Hack.

ReLink is an expansive Romhack for ALTTP which modifies both Overworld areas and Dungeons to change the required items needed for progression through the game. While none of the locations you acquire unique items have changes, the places where you use them has. ReLink opens up much of the darkworld earlier, allowing players greater freedom in choosing where they want to go and when. All of these changes and edits to the game are meant to be used alongside the randomizer in the future.

It is good to think of ReLink as a new distribution of value for unique items based on changes in the game's environment, rather than changes to the unique items themselves.


Some Details:
*1) Every Dungeon has had tweaks, some of these tweaks may make used of "unused" rooms.
*2) Upper & Middle Turtle Rock are the only Full-Scale pathing-routing rework.
*3) New obstacles have been added everywhere to add secondary paths.
*4) Some obstacles have been removed completely. PoD does not require hammer to complete, for example.
*5) The Flute landing on Death Mountain has been moved to be east of Hera. The bridge has been removed. The lower bridge is fixed.
*6) Ice Palace is reachable without Flippers, Mire now requires them.
*7) The Mire also got a brand new on-foot connection which requires hammer to gain entry.
*8) All bosses require a Big Key.
*9) Escape, Sewers, Castle Tower & Ganon's Tower are unchanged.
