The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds

Parallel Worlds is a fully hacked version of Zelda 3 (aka A Link to the Past). A majority of the game has been changed. There may be a few rooms which can be said to be similar to some from the original game.

General changes involve:

  • Brand new Overworlds, I promise you won’t find an area which is unchanged!
  • Brand new Dungeons, all dungeons are completely different from the original!
  • New house indoors and caves, some of these you may find similar to the original game.
  • New Graphics, a lot of the graphics has been changed.
  • New Screen layout, similar to Ocarina of Time yet not exactly the same.
  • Some new music, the original game had great music, these are not to be changed :)
  • New Story, while some events maybe similar to the original game, but it’s intentional.
  • A lot of other changes, and surprises!

This is a result of 4 years (maybe 5) of “behind the scenes” hard work, lots of assembly hacks and fixes etc. This game was known as Tower of the Triforce which some people may remember, when I released a demo from that game a few years ago. When SePH joined the team a majority of the things from that hack was taken over into this hack, so spiritually it’s still the Tower of the Triforce (to me that is).

Here is the first 5 minutes of the game that I captured:

This game is difficult. Believe me when I say it is. You’ll need to have every trick from the original game memorized plus more to beat this.

Puzzles are everywhere in this game. Some dungeons are more puzzles oriented, while some dungeons are more fighting oriented. I try to keep a balance between the two in some dungeons.

While there aren’t much enemy changes, there are a few, which I’ll let the player find out by themselves.

There is tons of secrets in this game… some are original while some are just brought over from other Zelda games.

  • Jonman

    my problem is that I just don’t know where to go next…
    I’ve been told to get another jewel in the graveyard, so I went to the house in the graveyard, beat the boss which is in the room with spikes and he dropped a red jewel which I took. Now I have 2 jewels, means I have to get one more. So I came back to Saharsrahla at the docks and talked to him and he still says that he knows that one of the jewels is in the graveyard (which I already passed). I was trying to figure out myself too where to go. But all the places I was going seemed like they’re too early for me (like Hyrule Castle and Sky Isles. And this place behind the endless beach also has a cave that has 3 switches. Doesn’t matter which one I pull first, I get a sound that I pulled a wrong one.
    So I’m pretty confused. Please help me out, I’d really appreciate.

    no working lost woods combination.
    i spent a day 1/2 and i found it,

    note: just because the non working
    did not work for me does “NOT” mean
