The Legend Of Zelda gets drop-dead gorgeous new remake

Fans of the original The Legend of Zelda can rejoice to learn that this gorgeous new remake aims to encapsulate the magic it created all those years ago.

Released all the way back in 1986, The Legend of Zelda kicked off the franchise with the same name that is as loved now as it was back then.

Check out the most recent The Legend of Zelda title, Echoes of Wisdom, below!

Set in the fantasy world of Hyrule, this first instalment welcomed us to Link as he aimed to collect the eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom in order to rescue Princess Zelda from Ganon.

The first game in the popular Nintendo franchise was a hit and went on to inspire almost 30 more video games since its inception.

So it is perhaps no wonder that fans are still feeling nostalgic for where it all began.

That is definitely the case for YouTuber Vasge who has set out on a project to remake the first dungeon from the original The Legend of Zelda.

The 2D animator will focus on recreating the 1986 title by using fine-line hand-drawn visuals and has taken to their channel to share the process so far.

The almost 10-minute Devlog sees Vasge explain how this project came about, including all of the processes such as planning and prototyping, and post-processing to name a few.

“I am a 2D animator, but I really want to make games,” they explained.

“This is the first of (probably) many videos I will make documenting my latest project, remaking the first dungeon of The Legend of Zelda for the NES in the Godot game engine!”

Vasge also shares that he will next work on enemies and combat next so we will get to follow him as the remake continues.

As you can guess, fellow fans were thrilled to see a faithful remake and took to the comments to give support and tips.

“I IMMEDIATELY love this idea,” one comment read.

“Remakes and remasters have kinda relied on HD 3D rendered graphics, just kinda flexing the new graphic abilities. This is such a cool take on doing a remake.”

Another said: “The crazy thing about this is that I was literally thinking to myself, 'Wouldn't it be great if the first Zelda game was remade with the same hand drawn art style from the promotional art?' And then I saw your video, it's AMAZING! This looks so great, I’m so hyped for the next one.”
