Koholint Isle - The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Green - Link (Selectable)
Black - Nightmares and their minions (Selectable)
Yellow - Friendlies
Pink - Animal Village
Grey - Inexplicable free phone landlines
The rest should make sense if you are familiar with Link's Awakening, with Jade being the
most literal ghost unit ever.

Overworld map is 16x16, so this map is 32x32, 2x2 for each screen. Which was actually
pretty hard to represent. Now I know why nobody has done this map before. I guess I could
have made it bigger to make it less squished, but this already took hours, I am satisfied
with this result.

Game flow should be that Link must first get his Base (sword) by tediously pushing away an
APC (Gordo-thing), which allows making mechs to take on the Recon (Snake-thing). After
that it probably falls apart.. but I did my best for these being two very different games.
Every boss is different, and the Battleship (Nightmare) guards the BH HQ that will end the
game (dream). That thing at the top of the BH HQ always looked like an egg anyway.

Ignore the map id. It was to be for a map idea I had ready for when Oozium was added.
That... never happened. Which made me sad when I saw it, even though I haven't looked at
my own map list in years. So I replaced it.

I realize you made this map ages ago (and started that comment ages ago) but this is the first
and only map I've ever seen you publish in real time. O_O

I have no familiarity with the game whatsoever, but you clearly put a lot of thought into it so
nice work!! I do have a question though... "Yellow" represents friendlies, but does that
include AB and BD or was it specific to YC?

Link's Awakening is my favorite 2D Zelda game. If you haven't played it, I highly reccomend it.
I believe both AB units are unfriendly. I think the sub is the random Lanmola you fight in the
desert and the mech is the dream dungeon you need the pegasus boots for where you fight
the arm mimics (who are orange in the DX version).

BD might be the owl who guides Link (Not Kaepora Gaebora or whatever his name is this
one's name is actually OWL) but I'm not sure. Also is the yellow mega tank the chain chomp?
Nyvelion (03/27/2015 06:16am):
Adding YC mech as a slow unit to represent the immobile chain chomp. The MegaTank is a
certain other NPC that should not be antagonized as it'll counter with OHKO.

Ah, the Shop Keeper.
Dreadnought (03/27/2015 06:58am):
Why did someone rate this a one?
Nyvelion (03/27/2015 12:59pm):
A one? Probably for me rather than the map. I probably deserved it, meaningless as it may
be compared to an actual comment.
I just hoped someone would appreciate this. Figuring out how to do the map for this and
implementing it from a very different game map was pretty hard.
Xmo5 (03/27/2015 03:08pm):
Nah, it's probably because they thought it was the number 1 map on the site!
