"Zelda's Adventure" homebrew demake for the Game Boy gets a brand new DX update with colour support
Back in April of 2023, a Game Boy homebrew developer by the name of John Lay managed to make an entire recreation of one of the most infamous Zelda titles, Zelda's Adventure, originally released for the Philips CD-i, into a full and complete demake for the original monochrome Game Boy.
The Zelda's Adventure demake was made in its entirety with GB Studio, aiming for a style and gameplay similar to that of Link's Awakening, also released for the Game Boy, with John Lay recreating the layouts, structure, maps and story from the infamous Zelda's Adventure, and instead making it into an 8-bit adventure.
As of a few days ago, and after more than 2 years since the original Zelda's Adventure Demake release back in 2023, John Lay dropped a brand new update to his homebrew project, featuring not only a slew of bugfixes and new features and enhancements, but also adding full colour support to the project, giving it a proper DX treatment, similar to what Link's Awakening saw back in the day with the release of the Game Boy Color.
Here's the full list of changes compared to the original release of Zelda's Adventure GB:
