The Legend of Zelda: Cute Zelda

This is a graphics hack of The Legend of Zelda for the NES. The graphical additions are borrowed largely from "Link's Awakening", but in some cases, are improvised following the tradition of modern (post 1990) Nintendo graphic art. A slight amount of text has been varied, and there have been no dungeon or overworld changes to date.

About Cute Zelda:
-----------------
You are probably aware that there are a great many hacks of "The Legend of Zelda".
So why bother creating yet another? Well, I beleive that even at this hack's early stages
of development, it surpasses many others in terms of graphical enhancement. The graphical
additions are borrowed largely from "Link's Awakening", but in some cases, are improvised
following the tradition of modern (post 1990) Nintendo graphic art. A slight amount of text
has been varied, and there have been no dungeon or overworld changes to date, although once
I have completed updating the graphics, you can expect to see a separate version containing
the "third" and "fourth" quests, possibly with a few added enemies and characters.


What you need to install and run "Cute Zelda 1.0":
--------------------------------------------------
- An IPS patcher, such as the one found on my site (http://cuteromz.cjb.net)
- A NES emulator, my recommendation being Nesticle x.xx, which can also be found on my site.
- The NES rom "The Legend of Zelda". I cannot give you this, but if you are resourceful,
it can be yours.
- Correct usage of IPS.EXE, as follows:
ips.exe .nes cutez10.ips
