This week on Sunday Longplay, it's another ROM hack for one of my favorite NES games of all time, and a project I had been following for over a year that just finished development 4 days ago. Welcome to Zelda 2: Amida's Curse!
One day Link finds a strange portal to the world of Amida, a land with a deep emotional link to him. Link embarks on another adventuresome quest to unravel Amida's secrets and return to Hyrule!
This hack is a passion project that has spanned a year and a half that changes everything in the game, from the overworld, to the palaces, to the graphics (using Zelda 2 Redux as a base), new town architecture pieces, a brand-new original soundtrack, etc. The end result is probably the most beautiful and eye-popping Zelda 2 hack I've played so far.
Difficulty-wise, the hack was meant to be a little easier than the base Zelda 2, but it's still not without its tricky moments. Here, the emphasis is placed on exploration rather than combat, so the difficulty lies more with finding where you're supposed to go in some spots. I was stumped for a little bit trying to find the Jump and Ice (replacing Thunder) spells, and I got lost in the final dungeon for a little bit before realizing that one of the elevators went through the floor.
While other Zelda 2 hacks have used custom soundtracks before, like Resurrection of Ganon and the endgame of Winter Solstice, Amida's Curse probably has my favorite OST of the three. The side-scrolling themes for the action scenes and palaces in particular are almost as good as the base game. Bentglasstube did great work on it!
Speaking of new additions, while Resurrection of Ganon added one extra dungeon to the game, Amida's Curse adds two! So there are now a total of 9 dungeons in the game as opposed to the base game's 7. More is always better in that regard.
Conclusion: Zelda 2: Amida's Curse was an 18-month passion project, and the passion really shows in the end result. The most beautiful Z2 ROM hack I've played, with an intriguing new story, and puzzles that really make you think. Yes, the game is easier than Z2, but that doesn't mean it sucks. Far from it.

Thanks for playing! You beat it in a very fast time. Other streamers took a lot longer to reach the end. A true expert player at work here! 😁
Being able to cancel Fairy is such a quality of life improvement.
Hands down the BEST Zelda II hack ever made. The authors should be extremely proud of their work.
This game was a masterpiece. Truly worthy of the original, and an improvement in basically every way.
Literally the greatest Link sprite edit of all time.
Excellent rom hack. I really loved Desert Tower; that dungeon is inspired and eclipses all six original palaces. Really smart design and unexpected use of the elements Link has at that point. I mean, up thrust is useful! Can't beat that.
I like the attention to detail in the sprites, over world, and music.
Came mainly to listen to the music, it's cool that someone else has modified Zelda 2 ost after all these years. Also cool to see work from OK Impala manifesting after all these years, remember him from back in the 2000s.
The palace theme goes hard
The Hud and Link sprite replacements alone already got me hooked, looks like something Nintendo could've done!
The new music I just cant get enough of when I want to chill out
That palace theme sounds soooo much like a lot of SMS music.
Remember that if there is a Goriya in the Area, you might hear Boomerang Sounds even if the Goriya is offscreen.
Theres something really unique about this one compared to all the other hacks. More effort. More creativity. More love
This game is super dope. Zelda 2 was the first Nintendo game I ever had so it's crazy nostalgic to play. To me, playing this is just like adding extra levels to the original, it's great!
I had some friends in discord share this rom hack with me a few days ago. It's great.
I LOVE that fake out at the end of level 2!
Great hack and I LOVE the new music! So catchy!
In Edessa (the town near the volcano), you can learn Fire. Where the person says church has not yet begun, use Jump to get on the platform on the left, 'ring' (talk to) the bell, and then they'll let you in.
