I grew up playing and loving Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link even more than the original Zelda on NES. Somehow, it resonated with me from a very young age. It has such a dangerous sense of dreamlike adventure that kept me wanting to tiptoe further and further from the start; and the visuals, music, and enemy design all contribute to the experience.
I thought it would be cool to design a romhack that really leans into the aspects I've always loved. So off-and-on over the past couple of years, I've been working on Zelda 2: Paracosm. It features a new Overworld, new Palaces and Towns, and lots of custom graphics. It's mostly finished, aside from a custom soundtrack being written and implemented by Xarnax42 from the Zelda 2 Discord community. I will likely also implement a few other changes before "officially" releasing it. Until then, I'd still like anyone interested to be able to play it. I may even throw together some cartridge/box art or even a game manual if I'm feeling inspired!
