On the subject of stone-cold classics like A Hyperlink to the Previous, we now have to ask how a lot content material can there actually be that we do not already find out about? The reply, so it appears, is rather a lot really.
For the previous short time now, a Zelda fan by the title of @Dark_Linkael has been working their method by means of the prototype information for this basic collection entry and the challenge has thrown up plenty of fascinating discoveries from unique sprites to a collectable Triforce. However maybe the most important discover (no less than bodily) has been their work on pulling collectively all the sport’s unique inside room designs – dungeons and all.
Whereas the structure can initially be a bit of complicated (it appears to be like one thing like a magic-eye puzzle on first look), one other preservationist, @MrTalida, has positioned the unique and last designs collectively in a side-by-side comparability video. The outcomes of this may be discovered under.
Hyperlink to the Previous prototype archaeology continues! @Dark_Linkael has recovered all dungeon/inside rooms.
The VAST majority of rooms are completely different from last, many are *considerably* completely different. Some areas like Distress Mire are completely reworked, whereas some are lacking solely! https://t.co/0xfr8Pll9A pic.twitter.com/oeD8yERJbK

A better inspection of the proto design reveals simply how a lot of the sport’s last map was modified within the growth interval. From easy issues just like the altering form of Hyrule Sanctuary within the high left of the picture to the whole transform of Distress Mire and substantial cuts made to the Ice Palace, if this unique structure reveals one factor, it is that high quality dungeon design takes time.
@Dark_Linkael has found a complete lot extra proto goodies within the search by means of the sport’s information, and we extremely suggest trying out their Twitter account for the complete round-up of the whole lot that has been uncovered.
For now, no less than, we guess it is time to dive into A Hyperlink to the Previous as soon as once more…
