I Made The Legend of Zelda Boss Battles but they’re 3D 

_"I don't know how to program snake"_ **Proceeds to make the full **_The Legend of Zelda_** from zero**

8:05 ronny salim: “GONE!” Pols voice: “understandable, have a nice day”

A tip on enemy/boss AI, there's actually an "Anti-Link" that is the vertically and horizontally flipped coordinates of Link that is used to make enemies fair. To put it simply, enemies randomly target either Link or Anti-Link, that's why their movement seems random.

2:50 fun fact about the original legend of Zelda. The reason all the dungeons fit together is because when you do that they take up the same amount of space as your overworld map that normally occupies the top left-hand corner of your screen, when you enter a dungeon, you’re not actually leaving the overworld the game merely in prints from that overworld map to your screen you were in the exact same spot in the game. It just adds new skins to everything.

Gohma: I used to be a dungeon boss like you. Then I took an arrow to the eye. Hey someone had to make that joke...

I want to see a full play through of this game

It's truly is sad knowing none of us will ever be able to experience this masterpiece for the foreseeable future

These dungeons look surprisingly atmospheric in 3D! Well done!

I'm so sad that Nintendo cracks down on projects like these, this game would be so fun to play

40 years from now his grandchild’s probably gonna remake BOTW cuz they feel like it.

2:07 "Sometimes I hate when there’s more than one way to solve a problem, because I usually pick the dumbest way possible" That is bizarrely relatable 💀

7:48 Maybe they're red because they're covered with the blood of the enemy they spawn from?

Nintendo: “You can’t share this.” Me: “Because you’re gonna make it?” Nintendo: “...” Me: “You are going to make it right?”

This looks so fun I would pay money for this game

12:08 "knowing it's own weakness, goma will open and close it's eye" yes, cody. That's called, Blinking!

You change the thumbnail?

Pro Tip: Instead of creating 6 cubes and deleting unnecessary faces you could just create one big cube and flip the normals. Hope this saves time later down the line if you are reading this. Besides that good work with the projects you have worked on!

Back in the 80s, Legend of Zelda took a whole studio to make. Now, it takes one person, one computer, and one man to make a 3D Legend of Zelda.

"Stop judging my code :( " Me who didnt understand a lick of the code and thought it epic levels of wizardry: Judge?! It's impressive no matter how gnarly

12:26 "Ganon can disappear _and_ turn invisible" thats the same thing lol

I was devastated when the princess didn"t crouch back at link

10:02 that static camera angle looks so good. Would be nice to have a swappable option in the actual game.

This is amazing, amazing work. I'm so blown away. I do have some ideas, but I really hope you dont mind, as its excellent. 1. The typeface of your HUD feels too modern 2. The Link sprite changes colour depending on the dungeon 3. In Zelda, the camera is static, and link moves. It may seem more inkeeping with the original game, to keep the camera locked into pointing vertically in every room (with some movement like luigi's mansion), and then the camera moves over as Link leaves the area. Its a personal preference, but then I think it would play a bit more like zelda. Really hope you dont mind my suggestuons. Truly think its amazing. Well done! I've been learning Unreal4 but this is nothing short of amazing.

Dude, I'm in awe. Just watched both of these, your mario, and your Pokemon video. All of this is incredibly impressive. Hats off to you man.

I never realized how much I would love a 3D reimagining of the original Zelda until now.

The only bad thing here, is that we can't play it, tnks nintendo...

Zelda: "You're my hero, thank you for savi- Link:

A few things to note on the statues. 1 - They don't stop firing when you kill the enemies, they actually start firing faster since there are fewer sprites on-screen. 2 - The statues are part of the room, not technically an enemy. I don't know how Zelda is coded, but presumably there is an invisible enemy where they are that shoots fireballs to make it look like the statues are.

"stop judging my code" Me who doesn't even understand one line: ...

This is awesome man! I want to play this so bad!

The whole thing is cool, but it feels especially cool to see the 3D thing in the traditional 2D way.

Honestly it’s amazing playing tears of the kingdom, watching this, then realizing the major glow up all the enemies have gone through like the gibdo was a ordinary mummie, now it’s a skeletal meat man with weapons in it

This is some awesome work, it’s crazy how much work you’ve put into this, and it’s creative! This shows that you could make pretty much anything with your skill! Keep it up!

Cody: *make games that everyone wanna play, but only him can* Edit: jeez- you guys have a thing with jokes-

God, I would love it if this guy could combine the overworks with the dungeons and produce the game. This looks hella fun and would be a great way to introduce the current generation to the game that started it all!

awesome work. You could avoid doing extra recolor textures by adding blendmodes to your material (you could find such a shader online i assume) that way you can simply "tint" your base texture to any color you need. And regarding the water on the previous video, you could've made an "always on top" shader, that renders on top of the floor. On second thought that might've been problematic... I'm making a game and most of my assets have vertexcolors and i recolor them all like crazy using materials with blendercolors and it's a blessing. Of course using textures opens up the possibility of giving these recolors more detail and differences, but since it's not your case, you should do it!

Dodongo, if you bomb them a second time at the right time, will "walk in place" for a second or two. During this time, you can kill them with your sword, and if you kill them this way, they ALWAYS drop bombs.

Cody can create anything that looks fun to play

You explain it really good for people without programming knowlegde. It is still fun to watch because i don't really get what all the programming stuff means but you explain with graphics etc nice

Love you Cody keep up the good work!

I'm so jealous about your skills. Overwhelmed over and over again! 👌🔥

Look, I’m not saying “I beg you to port it all to Switch Homebrew” but, I do beg you to.

I know this video's a bit old, but here's a tip to save time making textures! If you make your textures greyscale using four distinct levels of brighness as your colors for the pixels, you can write a shader that uses the value of the pixel as a coordinate for a lookup texture, array of colors, or gradient! That way you only have one texture for each unique "surface", and you can vary the color of it using different materials! It's a similar technique as how the NES did its sprite work back in the day, that's why old games have so many duplicate or shared sprites that vary only in color, the palette that the game was using to render was literally swapped! :)

You do such a good job judging the depth of the enemy model i try using your method for myself but it just keep looking wrong

I was a kid when these games came out so this has a special place in my heart and you did an amazing job reimagining our childhood games into 3d. Thank you!

This is really impressive. This looks like it would be really fun to play. A small note about the dodongos: the dislike smoke warning is actually a hint that if they are in the smoke of a bomb they become vulnerable to the sword for a short time

i would really enjoy playing this one. Great job!

Hello, Cody! This is very fascinating and I watch all your videos, (even the live-streams.) It’s very motivating, and I am inspired to make these remixes someday (which means when I move out of Scratch.)

Japan: We are winning this war! Now we will take over the world, and there will be no stopping us! 4:37

you know, this type of stuff would be fun to see done by Nintendo themselves for their anniversaries for example. all they do is just release the same old games without any touch ups of major difference or do something new like making a 3D version as shown here

i freaking love ur channel so much man

Dude your videos are awesome

Can we just appreciate the fact that Cody literally made this whole thing?

Nintendo just jealous they didn't create this masterpiece

Amazing as always!

absolutely incredible work man

This feels like a real Nintendo game, and the fact that Nintendo hasn't thought of this is criminal.

This guy is so good Nintendo wish they have him.

That was epic! Amazing job

Tip: The Zol will spawn 2 gels if it was killed by the wooden sword, but if killed by a white sword or master sword they'll be killed immediately with no gels spawning(also same for that guy who spawns 2 keese if killed) Also in the graveyard, if you touched the other gravestones a genie(or those ghost like dudes) will spawn which can be used for grinding:) (Just saying it here)

Imagine putting this much effort into a game only you can play

I Wish there was a way to play this 😩 Amazing job!

10:30 using bomb on walls doesn't make new doorways. It cracks the wall and makes a hole through it...

Wow, so much work. Great content. Did you know... You can also use the flute in the over world to summon a whirlwind that teleports you to completed dungeons.

What would Metroid be like in your style? Being vertical and horizontal as well as having many complex things in the game. I really am a fan for 8-Bit styled themes and also 8-Bit games. So I applaud you for going though this to make this whole game.

nintendo be like: this is cool and all but 5000$ in cash for using link without our permission

13:12 link: yay i saved the princess

Nvm I found the part two 😀😀😀 I love your videos & I'm glad I randomly found your channel. You could make these longer IMO, the content is definitely interesting enough!

that moment when someone thinks this is an actual nintendo game

2:40 What most open-world games do IIRC is having multiple scenes for a large world and then load/unload them all in to one big scene on demand, so you can have an open world without the need for loading screens.

I have no words how incredible this video is

I love how he said "dont judge my code :(" I dont even know how to code.

Man I’m so mad I’m not going to be able to play this. This looks like so much fun!

Damn he recreated the entirety of the game only to not be able to share it cuz nintendo why is it that almost everything Cody makes is not available to download?

Bro that really take time wow your amazing

Amazing work man.

Show us the gameplay, don't just 'see ya' us

This would actually make it fun for me to play the first Zelda. Too bad you can't release it without being sued to death

Man seriously made the whole game in 3D. Absolutely stellar.

11:10 - Dodongos in Zelda 1 can be killed by being stabbed if they are caught in the smoke blast of a bomb. Their movement stops if they are caught in the blast and you can stab them to kill them, which is actually more efficient. 3 Bombs in their mouths or one stab after exposing them to the smoke blast.

Nintendo should hire cody, just like how Sega did with the ROM-Hacks guy that ended up making Sonic Mania.

Would love to see you do Megaman next! Not only would it be fun. But Capcom enjoys the free promotion and doesn’t DMCA fan releases.

Such an incredible job

I wish this available to play it looks so good

C O D Y CAN'T M A K E B A D V I D E O

The dungeon rooms seem a lot smaller with the 3D conversion, even with link and the tiles matching in size.

I never knew how much I wanted a full 3D remake of the original LoZ until now. Well done!

As a huge fan of the original Zelda who has played it since I was a toddler... a few things. 1: Different rooms and areas spawn when you move to the edge of the screen. Now... you've done way too much work to change this now and I don't have an especially big issue with the way you made them all into three chunks (overworld, labyrinth 1, labyrinth 2) but I think it adds to the clausterphobic feeling. The original Zelda felt huge compared to other games of its time. Like, going from one side of the overworld to the other was a real grueling journey. If you do something like this again consider scaling thinks up or shrinking link and his foes down a little. 2: When Link dies the game stops, he spins as an ominous melody plays, then pops. 3: Moving a block takes a moment of effort to keep it from happening on accident and it moves to a fixed location. 4: Tree-bushes likewise don't vanish when the fire touches them. Its end cycle has to line up with them. 5: Blue candles fire once per screen. As it is all on big area a cool down might due for this. Flames also disappear after a moment and the red candle wasn't that rapid fire. Remember touching the flame hurts Link and most enemies. 6: Recorder/Flute/Whistle summons tornadoes that take you to a random labyrinth you've beaten when played in the overworld. It doesn't in labyrinths or in the lake area. 7: Levers are slower when burrowing or coming back up, and they come back up near Link when possible. 8: The reason given for link not damaging peahats in flight is they are too high up to reach... you have them pretty close to the ground. Projectiles logically should hit then though on a 2d plane, and they are described as ghost flowers in the manual. Maybe some opacity could fix this and be a good compromise. 9: The ladder and raft only work in specific locations... but I am fine with your creative liberties here. 10: Bobbles are invincible but don't have any collision with Link's sword. You can't knock them back like that. 11: Likelikes grab you and hold you in place a few seconds. ... I am okay with you not doing this, inability to move is one of the most obnoxious videogame mechanics ever made. 12: Dodongos can also be stunned by a bomb not in their open mouth, which makes them vulnerable to the sword. They really don't like smoke. 13: The manhandla... sorry... had a nam flash back there... it gets FASTER the more heads you take off and can push you into a corner and just fuck you up if you aren't careful. Yes. If you hommage this game you should make it as hard as the original. It isn't the most Nintendhard game out there but I have forced a few Dark Souls fans to recognize crippling difficulty did NOT start with their series. 14: Digdogger isn't easier to defeat post recorder. It is impossible to defeat without it. You literally can't hurt it until you have a jam session. 15: Use 🍖 was definitely not there in the game. Cryptic BS is also an important legacy of this game and others from its era. Not sure if you did these, but... lighting round! Link's shield protects his flank when in mid item use/attack. He is vulnerable to projectiles then. Some rooms are pitch black and you can only see enemies and yourself until you create fire with either candle or the wand. Keese and gels can be killed with the boomerang including on its return trip, and it is insanely satisfying. Red/Orange wizrobes don't move around. They vanish then teleport and shoot magic at link. Blue ones move, but can turn incoporeal and jumpacross the room. Enemy bosses can be heard roaring through the walls when you are in a room next to their's. Manhandla's body is invincible and will block projectiles... so if you take out all heads except the one on the opposite side it um... ... I don't want to talk about it. Some Gohma's shoot beams. Nitpicking over. You otherwise done good son, wish I could play it.

2:16 That structure tho 😂

Nintendo: You can't share this. People: Why? Nintendo: .....

You deserve a sub! I Love your content and videos so much and you always make perfect videos! Btw how about sounds in the game?

You have so much patience I'd leave this and forget about it for years

i hope this will be shared at some point. nintendo should have pity

Can we just appreciate how he takes 1-2 months of hard work just to make a video for us. 🙏

This is so amazing. If only it could actually be playable on a Nintendo console.

Dude, this is amazeballs!

damn watching this really makes me realize how much binding of issac took from zelda

i just realized there are two nintendo games where you can scream "BE GONE THOT!" to get rid of enemies Pol's Voice in Zelda and Minigoombas in Mario 3D World

you could totally make a roguelike with this!

The old man says the thing about smoke since if you place a bomb on the square underneath the 2nd level boss he becomes vulnerable since in the original game the smoke animation floats to the square above it meaning it gets covered in smoke.
