------------------

For a wizard of Ganon's power, death is but a temporary 
setback. His defeat at the hands of the legendary hero Link 
only redoubled his rage. Ganon has returned to life more 
powerful than ever, and has recaptured Princess Zelda and 
the Triforce of Power. 

Using the Triforce's energy he has twisted the land of Hyrule 
into a treacherous maze. He holds Zelda captive in his lair, 
knowing Link will surely try to rescue her. And when Link 
appears, Ganon will have his revenge.

If Hyrule is to be restored, the Triforce of Power and its 
twin Triforce of Wisdom must be reclaimed. Link must 
traverse this strange new land to find the eight pieces of 
the Triforce of Wisdom. Only then will the path to Ganon 
and to Zelda be opened...

Features:
-Extensive overworld map editing. Not only do things look 
 different, the game is much more challenging now.
-Text editing. Almost all of the text has been edited to 
 reflect the new world or just improve on Nintendo's sloppy 
 English. Text is uncentered due to lack of space, sadly. 
 Ending text has also been edited.

Requirements:
-The Legend of Zelda ROM USA V1.0 (no reminder to hold Reset 
 at Save screen) in .NES format.
 NOTE: ALL ROM REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED.
-UCON or any other IPS patching utility.

How to Use:
-Make a backup of your Zelda ROM. This is very important in 
 case something goes wrong during the patching!
-Place the ZELDARG.IPS file in the same directory as your ROM.
-Use your IPS utility to patch the ROM with the edit patch.
 (Ex: Type "ucon i zelda.nes zeldarg.ips" at the DOS prompt.)

That's it! Now just run the patched ROM with any emulator (or 
even on your console if you're lucky enough to have a backup
unit, I assume it'll work). 

I want feedback, dammit! If you liked this edit, then E-mail me 
at thespook@novia.net. If I get enough positive response I may 
do more edits like this one. I especially appreciate bug reports 
and will do everything in my power to address them. Remember, 
*ALL ROM REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED*.
