Random Zelda Fan Project Turns 'A Link To The Past' Into Roguelike Dungeon Crawler | Time Extension - eviltoast

Introducing Dungeons of Infinity

A talented individual known as Justin Bohemier has transformed the classic Super Nintendo hit, A Link to the Past, into a procedurally-generated roguelike dungeon crawler. Over four years in development using Gamemaker Studio with the original assets, the game ‘Dungeons of Infinity’ aims to offer a new and challenging experience for fans.

Key Features:

  • Procedural Generation - Each playthrough offers unique layouts, enemies, and items.
  • Link’s Nemesis Aghanim - The ultimate challenge lies in encountering Link’s arch-enemy, Aghanim. Survival depends on navigating the dungeons until reaching this final boss.

The creator emphasizes that no continues or extra lives are available, adding to the game’s difficulty curve.

    Link to the Past and Super Metroid have hundreds of “total conversation” mods and utility mods. This one doesn’t do anything different, IP-wise, as the ones already released.

    Edit. I’m incredibly wrong, this is a GameMaker game.

      This ain’t a romhack (where no assets by Ninteno are distributed). The dev used Nintendo’s assets in Gamemaker and big N don’t like that.
