 Make sure to put the .pat file into whatever folder your Nesticle
 reads from.  It's got Game Genie codes for inf bombs, never lose
 coins (gives you inf arrows), and INVINCIBILITY! (Does anyone know
 an infinite keys code?)


I.   General

	This is obviously a Zelda hack.  But this one doesn't suck.
	Link is a monkey and the map is WAY different.

II.  Notes

	Yes,  I know there are doors you can't enter.  I made the
	game, remember?  I did that shit on purpose to tease the
	player.  Keep in mind all doors in the same screen lead to
	the same place.  So as long as you can enter one, you don't
	hafta enter the others. 

III. Things That Are Different/Future Changes

	VERSION 1.1 (10/6/99)
	-----------
	- The "Register   G" glitch has been fixed at last.
	- After some map editing and play testing, the 2nd quest
	  is now beatable.
	- Even more map glitches fixed. (Places where when you change
	  screens, you end up in a wall.)  Some places I hafta leave
	  like that.

	VERSION 1.08 (9/15/99)
	------------
	- After hours of Tile Layering, I've changed Link and Zelda
	  to monkeys!
	- It's still in the early stages, so you may see some weird
	  graphics.  I should have ALL the frames.
	  Since you're a monkey, and you don't wear mail, I've
	  fixed it so the color of your shield is the color of your
	  ring (Green, Blue, Red)
	- Yes, I know you should be able to see his shield when he
	  walks sideways and other frames.  YOU DRAW THE SHIT.
	- The screen before Level 2 (1st Quest).  In that screen,
	  the huge block of nothingness is a bit of help because it
	  usually traps most of the enemies.
	- Some of the weird places where when you change screens and
	  end up in blocks have been cleaned up.
	- I made a much cooler way to get to Level 8.  It takes some
	  serious Miyamotoage.  Think Columbus.
	- Instead of USE B BUTTON FOR THIS on the Start screen, I've
	  changed it to EQUIP THIS TO "B".  That isn't phrased much
	  better, but I wanted to make it different anyway.  Deal
	  with it.

	VERSION 1.0 (7/15/99)
	-----------
	- I've given the Old NES Font a complete Overhaul.
	- The name of some of the items--Watch demo to see changes.
	- "Elimination Mode" is now in much easier to understand
	  words:  "Erase a File".  And "Register Your Name" is now
	  "Start a New File".  This makes much more sense.
	- When creating a new name, you may notice my trademark of
	  putting all the letters in reverse order.  I'm sure you'd
	  rather the correct order, but programming backward-letter
	  registration is a bitch, so I'm quite proud of it :)
	- Much of the map using Zelda Improvement v.01
	- I changed the overworld wizards to Goombas.  The level
	  wizards are still wizards.  (By the way, they say new
	  things now.)
        - Everyone knows about the "Zelda" code, right?  Well, I've
	  changed the secret filename to something else.  The wizard
	  (left wing) in Level-1 tells you what it is.
	- The Title Screen
	- The old lady who says "Pay me and I'll talk." says "Show
	  me the Money!" now.  Also, most of her messages are
	  different.  Try to pay her very little and very much.
	- 2 ways to get to Level 7.
	- The Credits
	- Your name is "Dude" now.
	

	Possible Future Changes
	----------------------- 
	- If anyone can figure out a program that lets you edit the
	  inside of levels, I'll definitely work on that.
	- Fine-tuning some of the monkey's graphics so he looks
	  less like a gopher and more like a monkey :)
	- Changing Ganon to something else. (A Zookeeper?  Mario?
	  email me ideas if you have anything better)

IV.  How to Patch

Put a backup of the original rom into the same folder as wherever
you put ips.exe and the .ips file.  Go to DOS, and make sure you
are in the right folder.  Enter the following. 
      ips (originalrom).nes (patchname).ips
and press enter.  That should work.  If not, you're fucked! HA! HA!
Of course, you can always use something easier like SNESTool...

V.  People Who Are Cooler Than Shit

	Thanks to following cool-ass people who are well... the shit.

	- Shigeru Miyamoto.  If you don't know who this is, you are
	  definitely are NOT the shit.
	- _demo_ and EFX for Zelda Improvement.  (Too bad the Mario
	  Improvement isn't at all easy to figure out.)
	- agpoker13@hotmail.com for telling all his friends about
	  this rom (hint hint).
	- Monkeys_Pups, methadone, and nursebabe20 (she's hot) at 
	  liveuniverse.com
	- Booger, Shows, Jerome, Darrin, Laura, Lauren, Shaun, Jason,
	  Kasey, Ray, Rick (fat bastard), Foxy, Peter, Beau, Nick,
	  Heather "Walk with me and people will think we're a couple"
	  Bishop, Preston, and the Bud man at LSU.
	- Ana Kournikova, the only Tennis player I like.
	- Metallica, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley
