​

Back in the 90's, Nintendo and Sony made an agreement to work on a CD-like console, with the prototype for this collaboration being a Super Nintendo with CD capabilities, with said prototype being found some years ago. However, that collaboration between Nintendo and Sony fell through, as Nintendo ended up partnering with Phillips, leaving Sony aside, and eventually, leading to Sony creating their own console, which eventually became the very first Sony PlayStation, and a major rival to Nintendo in the gaming market.

Out of that partnership between Nintendo and Phillips, came several Nintendo licensed video games for the exclusive Phillips console at the time, the CD-i, with some of the most well-known characters from Nintendo appearing in the CD-i with games like Hotel Mario, Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil, with the later two titles focused on the Zelda franchise getting fanmade remasters a few years ago. However, there was still another Zelda title released for the CD-i that completed the Unholy Triforce for the console, with that being Zelda's Adventure, which sadly didn't get a remaster like the other two titles on the CD-i... Until today.

Thanks to the efforts of developer JappaWakka, Zelda's Adventure is now getting a fanmade remaster to coexist alongside its unholy brethren, with the remaster now having a demo available for users to enjoy and test on their devices, with the latest demo version being v0.0.6. The remaster includes the following features:

• Remastered Mode, which includes several Quality of Life features and restored cut content.
• Classic Mode that plays similar to the original release
• Smooth 60fps gameplay
• Subtitles for cutscenes and ingame dialogue
• Rebindable controls
• Better looped ambience sound/music
• Stereo panned sound effects
• Localization options (currently only English and Dutch are available).

Those interested in trying out this remaster for the obscure CD-i title, can do so by visiting JappaWakka's Itch.io website, or by compiling the source code for the game with GameMake Studio LTS 2022 from JappaWakka's GitHub repository.

Has no one released a "spiritual successor" to Hotel Mario yet..? I think Arzette might have one level along those lines.

 

[Segger]

Well at least no one sane will be able to complain about them ruining it

From what I've heard Hotel Mario is getting a remaster as well, it's being worked on right now.

First the Game Boy (Color) demake, now this. What a time to be alive.

 

[Exnor]

Can't be worse than the original

 

[Reploid]

Triforce is complete now I guess

 

[BlusterBong]

Just like the earlier Earthbound fan remake, they just couldn't keep thier mouths shut.


Though, to be fair, Nintendo would DMCA this more out of wanting to never be reminded of the CD-i "games" than any malice

 

[Bladexdsl]

this is one fan project i can say 100% won't get DMCA'D

 

[spotanjo3]

Hate it. I am a huge fan of Legend of Zelda series. And this is not one of them.

There's already a Game Boy "demake" of this game that apparently no one has tried to take down yet. And as the OP mentions, there are also the "remastered" versions of Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil that I don't think were threatened.

If y'all will allow me to get back up on this here soapbox

*ahem*

Bad games deserve remakes MORE than good games. Let's realize the good within the bad and try to make something great with it!

ET remake when

 

[Robert Newbie]

The first two CD-i games were remade by fans with QoL features, and I think it's great that some brave devs have done the same for the last game in the CD-i Zelda family.

Kudos to the devs, with additional thanks given to the dev(s) of the Gameboy demake.

 

[Ericzander]

A fanmade remaster implies that this game had fans.

And this is coming from someone who actually enjoyed the other two CD-I Zelda's. I couldn't stand this one.

Is this Dumbledore?

It already got one years ago, for the NES actually, look around and you'll find it.
