An experiment. Game-Maker is mostly built for Zelda-style adventure games, so it's interesting to see how closely it can replicate the game. This represents maybe about six hours of design work, over an afternoon.

Story

Overworld

Many years ago prince darkness " Gannon " stole one of the Triforce with Power. Princess Zelda had one of the Triforce with Wisdom. She divided it into " 8 "units to hide it from " Gannon " before she was captured.

Go find the " 8 "units " Link " to save her.

Instructions

Overworld

Welcome to Overworld, a pastiche of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda. It's not the easiest thing to replicate in RSD's Game-Maker, but the engine can handle more than one might think.

The game is incomplete, and will likely remain so. The level structure required to support all of the flags between dungeon and overworld would be a nightmare. Still, you can explore some implementation techniques.

Use the arrow keys to move.

Enter the cave, and use the [space bar] to pick up the sword.

Try all four weapons:

  • S: Sword
  • A: Candle
  • Q: Bow & arrow
  • W: Wand

Explore the overworld, defeat monsters, and collect power-ups.
