"I've never actually beaten the original Legend of Zelda." After watching this video, I don't think you've ever even _played_ the original Legend of Zelda.
@@SoulsMidknight first legend of Zelda is basically open world with only a couple of road blocks (water requiring the raft, and gaps requiring the step ladder). Bombs can be used to bomb walls to find secret caves and hidden doors. Same with the candle.
The AI design is a bit on the easy side, too. A lot of the enemies should have been absolutely cruising around if they were going to match their speed on the NES.
And face all 360 degrees instead of just four 90 degree directions. I first noticed that at the beginning with the Zoras, remembering how much of a pain it was just to line up a shot on them before they went underwater and how much easier it looked to be able to just turn and face them from any direction.
Not to mention Doomguy is ridiculously quick. Turn on auto run and he can almost keep up with the full hearts sword projectile. Where Link plodded along from grid square to grid square, Doomguy can avoid most enemies simply by running...until he runs into one
I saw a video of someone playing a complete first person recreation of og legend of zelda back in 2016, i scavanged the entire internet for that video or remake and found nothing. it seemingly vanished, and I've been dreaming of playing it for years since until someone made this Doom mod. I am satisfied and happy now 😭🙏
Now that's interesting how well the OG Zelda map, item and enemy mechanics were transferred into the Doom engine. Even managed to translate the "splitting enemies re-spawn" and "enemies re-spawn after 5 screens (well rooms in 3D space) distance" into it. Though I have yet to see how well the "burn bushes", "bomb walls" and "activate amos statue" mechanics were done. I did saw cracked walls and discolored bushes as an assumed small help, but only in the overworld... The OG Zelda is definitively something any Zelda game aficionado should experience once, even if just to see how the series started and how much more convenient and obvious things are nowadays...
@@Irate_Beau Is there such an area? I can't remember. We already saw that the lost woods path works but the "5 times north" for the climb to level 5 didn't work or was left out intentionally because it's really just walking straight until your there.
@jayhughes3843 not necessarily. pixel graphics were cheap to make and low on system resource usage. When things go 3D, if you're not using a really out of date engine like Doom, the system requirements go through the roof, as does the cost of making the game. The number of developers for games has gone from like 10 to around 2000... most games we know from the old days wouldn't even exist today or if they did, they'd have to cut a massive number of corners...
That game is a bit more intense on things I'd rather not experience in 3D though. Just some of the puzzles, game mechanics, you really need to see the whole area. The hookshot, places where pits appear in the towers when you walk over certain things, stuff like that. Link to the past is perfect as it is, I think it would also be hard for really capture the mood of the graphics and music with it. Darkness would also really suck.
If anyone puts it on the mods section for the new Doom 1 and 2 collection by Night Dive for the Xbox series X that would be amazing. Especially for those of us who don't own gaming PCs.

It's maddening how you've never played the first LoZ. It was the source of many of my childhood nightmares trying to figure out what to do by endless trial and error, but you're figuring it out. The original game is burned into my memory like it is for so many 80's kids.
I enjoyed playing it with the randomizer hack. Having everything still almost memorized makes it boring. But this Doom mod would breath fresh air into the game. It looks incredible!
Lmao I actually yelled at him missing the boomerang in dungeon 1. And then he wasted rupees on another blue candle because he didn't know how it worked (SMDH). I was like "Blue candle is one use per section!"
IN this mod it is on a long cool down timer rather than on a "screen by screen" scenario. Thats much easier than placing line defs in every map square area of the map corresponding to reset of the a single item usability,
I beat this game. it took years, but I finally did it. One thing I would suggest adding to this game is the flat 2D map overlay that you can pull up any time, and keep it in the top left corner. So you can navigate properly.
Imagine reliving every childhood classic NES, SNES, Genesis, etc, games in first person.... First games I'd want to try would be all the Donkey Kong County series games
Holy crap ... As someone who has beaten the legend of Zelda many times because I was born in 1980 and this is the game that you played when you were born in 1980 lol... I never imagined it in this way. But I immediately kind of want to try it even though I hate first person shooters. Only because of the fact that this seems kind of simple enough let my skill level could still probably beat it
Wow!! Incredibly cool! I imagine telling 10 year old me: "Do you think this is cool? Let me tell you what's coming down the pipe..." I imagined things like VR when I was 10. I didn't imagine the resurrection of the things I loved at that very time, in the new context.
I remember playing the very first TMNT game on NES, and thinking, "What if you could see out of their eyes, and you could look down and see their feet, and see their weapons in their hands like they were your hands" lol. Then my friends and I took that idea and basically imagined the combat system from Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with you picking a direction to attack from, or having to defend attacks from one of those directions, from what we didn't realize was called a first-person perspective. "That'll never happen, but it would be so cool"
I remember blue candles can only be used once per room and used to burn certain bushes for secret passages, light up dark rooms 👋👍 (no need to purchase it twice). You'll find a red candle in another dungeon that will burn multiple times.
Its Free! if you have a PC. GZDoom, Legend of Doom and FreeDoom phase 2 are all you need. This cannot be a commercial game by any definition so it was always destined to be free. You can even play it on mobile if you get DeltaTouch app but that one is like 3 bucks iirc
I watched you walk right past the boomerang and shat my pants.... GO BACK OMG ! lol EDIT: Oh yeah. Bomb the walls ... right where doors would normally be in dungeons. Blue Candle gets 1 shot per "screen" AND Raft can be used to cross 1 block wide water in dungeons.
this guy admits he doesn't really know the OG Zelda very well, and it shows. it is frustrating to watch, i feel like a back seat driver... NOO! Go this Way! Bomb Here! Pick up that thing! what are you Doing! 🤣
You missed the boomerang in the first dungeon in that first room with all the boomerang guys! It was on the ground and you looked at it for a split second haha This was super cool tho!! I think zelda one fits doom style very well!
@@SoulsMidknight hahah! its all good...when i first started playing years ago, it took good while, and some tips from friends to figure it all out, but that's part of the fun! some of us old timers were pulling our hair out watching though! 🤣
As soon as this guy said he's never played Zelda 1, I was like "You poor bastard..." There was no chance he was beating this without looking up a guide. Playing Zelda 1 on the original NES is hard enough, but not knowing how to get all the things, the secrets, the bomb wall locations, the heart locations, the sword locations...that makes for a very very bad time. This was a great video, SoulsMidknight. Thanks for sharing it.
The enemy respawn mechanic is adapted from Hexen, but the rest is translating the enemies and events to be as accurate as possible. The entire mod is written in the GZDoom ZScript language, which is based on C++ but exclusive to GZDoom engine and Raze engine specifically. The art of 2D top down translates pretty well to Doom engine if you allow th full retro effect of the translation. THe vast majority of the the art is modified source directly from LoZ 1. The other art is Doom community released for open use. Legend of Doom is actually an amalgamtion of past projects all focused on this production but finally all fused together.
Such a brilliant cross over for 2 very nostalgic games, I think both this version and the original the legend of zelda would be great series' to watch you play through
This is a fun video! Thank you! One of the funniest things is when you say, "It's a high possibility" and it is almost exactly the opposite. Like when you thought it was a high possibility that you messed up the candle. The (blue) candle can only be used once per room. It can also be used to burn down secret trees just like the bomb can blow up secret walls and rocks. I hope you continue! This is pretty neat! Oh, and you didn't see the boomerang that you missed in dungeon 1. Each dungeon in order gives you some treasure to help you reach the next. You are suppoaed to get the ladder bridge before the raft, I think.
Abysm 2 is the TC you need to check out since it is exactly what you are refering to for your idea type. So is the old Strife commerical game that was also made on Doom engine after Hexen.
Looked right at the boomerang in the first dungeon and walked on by without getting it. Also didn't try bombs at the center of blank walls, which is how you find some rooms.
I had a project like this going when I was a kid. Unfortunately, my code got corrupt and I wasn't a very good programmer as a child. But I did have it where I had some of the overworld working.
Not a very good programmer as a kid? But you had a working version in the overworld? Bro, you'd have to be a pretty brilliant little kid to get a 3D version of OG Zelda working as a child
@@choosetolivefree I wouldn't go as far as brilliant. Clearly not brilliant enough not to break stuff. I ended up making too many changes all at once and I didn't have a backup of my code. This was before I figured out incremental changes were better than sweeping changes (and before git and all the quality of life tools we have now.) The language I used was kind of a C++ based language, it was something called the Acknex engine, which at the time was a doom like engine. But I had been editing my own Doom maps for some time as well.
@@choosetolivefree Doom modding has been going on since th late 90s. The first Doom Total Conversion was Aliens TC which ran on vanilla Dos Doom. Legend of Doom runs on GZDoom source port which is the current most advanced version game engine based on the orgiinal IDtech1 Doom engine. So yes, he could very well have had a working overword which would have been a single Doom map. Go check out Slade or Ultimate Doom Builder to get started.
I actually think it was kind of cool to see you go through without much knowledge of Zelda 1 because then you're really out there just exploring and learning in real time.
As someone who’s played the original Zelda since the 80s, this was hard for me to watch! Especially when you passed up the boomerang drop in the first dungeon! Anyway, cool version of the game! I’d love to try it out myself sometime!
I thought this was the codycan'teatthis channel's 'I remade zelda in 3d' This is great and I would love to play it but the mentioned channel's version remade it in 3d and is one step better. For instance the trees in this are like 2d cardboard cutouts in a 3d environment, the enemies are animated 2d planes. The 3d recreated version featured characters and assets made of blocks, like lego animation. The downside was that was he made it for himself & it only simulated gameplay, not a functioning game he planned to let loose. This looks very fun, a new layer of fun for one of the best games.
Funny you talking about its easy to just run and shoot and not get touched. But in the OG zelda you can't move anywhere as fluidly as in this mod. You can't directly turn at an angle to attack your enemies and they move quite a bit, which is why the stop watch drop was helpful on the OG. You could only shoot one of 4 directions and you had to line up horizontally to hit them while avoiding getting hit so it actually was more difficult but they made it too easy by changing the game play dynamics to an OG FPS ha
With a little tweaking, this could be a masterpiece. The POV Link body and sword look out of place being a way higher pixel count. Same with the clouds. Too many pixels. Entrances and exits could use a redo.
Its exactly the same as the NES map but with actual verticality. Lost Wooods works properly even. The only "puzzle" that was pointless to put in was the mountain climb up to Dungeon 5
Anyone who puts this on the mods section for the new Doom 1 and 2 collection by Night Dive for the Xbox Series X woukd be a real hero. Especially for people like me who don't have gaming PCs.
I played the hell out of Zelda back in the day, and I don’t know if it’s the change in perspective or what, but I wouldn’t know where the hell to go either. Looks fun, though!
19:00 you're in the lost forest you have to exit in a particular pattern, or it just warps you back to where you were, except going east will let you out but you need to go west to continue the game.
The original game layout should be on your HUD as the “map.” Now I want to see a 3D Zelda 2! That game was my jam (translation, I didn’t have many games 😅).
TAB button on the keyboard displays the map just like in doom and was also a natural fit to the Legend of Doom. Agreed on Zelda 2. Great game but hard as nuts.
Oh man! I wanna play this! I know the map of Hyrule by heart! Doing it from this perspective would be an amazing new challenge, I'm impressed the world layout looks pretty much the same! Meanwhile, bro be all like, "What does a watch do?" 😆 Also, you CAN do the 2nd dungeon first, if you want, but you need to know where you're going...and bomb certain walls, push some blocks after killing the enemies in that one room...and yes, enemies respawn after passing or backtracking through several rooms, and goodies like hearts and rupies disappear after awhile. This is basically more or less like the OG game, except for the weapon button setup...originally you could use the sword while also using bombs or whatever your secondary weapon slot was (candle, wand, bow, etc). Good God, I wanna show this guy how it's done, and I haven't played this, or the original, in many years...a good chunk of my brain's memory storage is wasted on this game(and SMB 1, 2, and 3, and Mortal Kombat 1 and 2, and other games)
The earliest full active time FPS I can name on NES is the game called Star Voyager. its a space flight combat sim it is by all definitions a legit First person shooter even more than the Top GUn games on NES.
Kinda interesting since Miyamoto's original idea for the first Zelda was a first person game, although it couldn't really be done with the hardware at the time.
In an alternate Ocarina of Time fan-game, Doomguy would totally shoot up The Redead without screaming like a girl or batting an eye. I'm calling it now!
Gels (the slimes) and Keese (the bats) never drop anything. I don't know if its properties are changed here, but in the original they're also the only two enemies killed rather than merely stunned by the Boomerang.
A map screen in the lower left corner would help. I've played and beaten the original Zelda a few times. Even I would be lost trying to find my way in this confusing maze.
"I've never actually beaten the original Legend of Zelda."

Not a very good programmer as a kid? But you had a working version in the overworld? Bro, you'd have to be a pretty brilliant little kid to get a 3D version of OG Zelda working as a child
@@choosetolivefree I wouldn't go as far as brilliant. Clearly not brilliant enough not to break stuff. I ended up making too many changes all at once and I didn't have a backup of my code. This was before I figured out incremental changes were better than sweeping changes (and before git and all the quality of life tools we have now.) The language I used was kind of a C++ based language, it was something called the Acknex engine, which at the time was a doom like engine. But I had been editing my own Doom maps for some time as well.
@@choosetolivefree Doom modding has been going on since th late 90s. The first Doom Total Conversion was Aliens TC which ran on vanilla Dos Doom. Legend of Doom runs on GZDoom source port which is the current most advanced version game engine based on the orgiinal IDtech1 Doom engine. So yes, he could very well have had a working overword which would have been a single Doom map. Go check out Slade or Ultimate Doom Builder to get started.
played this on my phone with a backbone controller... phenomenal, nostalgic... this game IS my childhood ;)
MOAR of this, please @SoulsMidnight
I actually think it was kind of cool to see you go through without much knowledge of Zelda 1 because then you're really out there just exploring and learning in real time.
i keep screaming why are you doing that lol check your map, me who hasn't played in over a decade still remembers the map.
How this wasn’t already a thing is wild
OMG the original zelda is still my favorite RPG ever. This is a dream come true!
I'm liking the first person view of one of my favorite childhood classics
As someone who’s played the original Zelda since the 80s, this was hard for me to watch! Especially when you passed up the boomerang drop in the first dungeon! Anyway, cool version of the game! I’d love to try it out myself sometime!
Gotta love it whenever a developer picks music that just fades out halfway through. 😅
Reminds me of what a Zelda/Minecraft crossover would look like…..someone show this to Nintendo!
Funny you say that since I just did ocarina of time in Minecraft on the channel a few days ago lol
My childhood just slapped me in the face and asked why I wasn't already playing this.
In Zelda 2, those fuzzy static ghost skulls are killable, you just have to keep them stunned with constant sword attacks.
I thought this was the codycan'teatthis channel's 'I remade zelda in 3d'
This is great and I would love to play it but the mentioned channel's version remade it in 3d and is one step better.
For instance the trees in this are like 2d cardboard cutouts in a 3d environment, the enemies are animated 2d planes.
The 3d recreated version featured characters and assets made of blocks, like lego animation. The downside was that was he made it for himself & it only simulated gameplay, not a functioning game he planned to let loose.
This looks very fun, a new layer of fun for one of the best games.
Funny you talking about its easy to just run and shoot and not get touched. But in the OG zelda you can't move anywhere as fluidly as in this mod. You can't directly turn at an angle to attack your enemies and they move quite a bit, which is why the stop watch drop was helpful on the OG. You could only shoot one of 4 directions and you had to line up horizontally to hit them while avoiding getting hit so it actually was more difficult but they made it too easy by changing the game play dynamics to an OG FPS ha
Je suis attaqué par des hommes à tête de mouche.MOMO.
With a little tweaking, this could be a masterpiece.
The POV Link body and sword look out of place being a way higher pixel count.
Same with the clouds. Too many pixels.
Entrances and exits could use a redo.
I like to think that Doom Guy is a future version of the Hero of Time.
Now we need someone to remake DOOM inside The Legend of Zelda.
This is a heck of a way to get introduced to Zelda 1.
Aside from the map, which needs to be made clearer and otherwise more understandable, the creator(s) did a great job at this!
Its exactly the same as the NES map but with actual verticality. Lost Wooods works properly even. The only "puzzle" that was pointless to put in was the mountain climb up to Dungeon 5
Doomguy's green hat on the status bar had the added effect of food on my screen.
Anyone who puts this on the mods section for the new Doom 1 and 2 collection by Night Dive for the Xbox Series X woukd be a real hero. Especially for people like me who don't have gaming PCs.
I played the hell out of Zelda back in the day, and I don’t know if it’s the change in perspective or what, but I wouldn’t know where the hell to go either.
Looks fun, though!
Bro didn't even shout "ZA WARUDO" whenever he grabbed the stopwatch. My disappointment is immeasurable.
My day is ruined.
He is a bit of a noob at O.G. Zelda, hahah!
What does ザ・ワールド mean? I'm confused...
you forgot to grab the boomerang in the room where you first killed all the boomerang guys
19:00 you're in the lost forest you have to exit in a particular pattern, or it just warps you back to where you were, except going east will let you out but you need to go west to continue the game.
Starbomb ruined the phrase "Its dangerous to go alone, take this" for me, lol.
No way!!!!! Didn't know how much I wanted this until seeing this video, cool concept.
The original game layout should be on your HUD as the “map.”
Now I want to see a 3D Zelda 2! That game was my jam (translation, I didn’t have many games 😅).
TAB button on the keyboard displays the map just like in doom and was also a natural fit to the Legend of Doom.
Agreed on Zelda 2. Great game but hard as nuts.
Oh man! I wanna play this! I know the map of Hyrule by heart! Doing it from this perspective would be an amazing new challenge, I'm impressed the world layout looks pretty much the same! Meanwhile, bro be all like, "What does a watch do?" 😆
Also, you CAN do the 2nd dungeon first, if you want, but you need to know where you're going...and bomb certain walls, push some blocks after killing the enemies in that one room...and yes, enemies respawn after passing or backtracking through several rooms, and goodies like hearts and rupies disappear after awhile. This is basically more or less like the OG game, except for the weapon button setup...originally you could use the sword while also using bombs or whatever your secondary weapon slot was (candle, wand, bow, etc). Good God, I wanna show this guy how it's done, and I haven't played this, or the original, in many years...a good chunk of my brain's memory storage is wasted on this game(and SMB 1, 2, and 3, and Mortal Kombat 1 and 2, and other games)
Holy Crap this is amazing!! I need to find this and play this. Two of my favorite classics. Hell Yeah! Thumbs Up and shared! A+++++
Dang... bro just literally skipped right by the Boomerang drop from the Goriyas in the 1st dungeon
This would have made 10x the money had it first released like this. Amazing.
The earliest full active time FPS I can name on NES is the game called Star Voyager. its a space flight combat sim it is by all definitions a legit First person shooter even more than the Top GUn games on NES.
This is pretty well done. I wonder if they did some kinda automated conversion to doom assets.
no idea how the doom modding works but definitely well done
Kinda interesting since Miyamoto's original idea for the first Zelda was a first person game, although it couldn't really be done with the hardware at the time.
In an alternate Ocarina of Time fan-game, Doomguy would totally shoot up The Redead without screaming like a girl or batting an eye.
I'm calling it now!
22:50 can’t believe how you not pick up the bumerang here.
Cringing at myself so hard I don't know what I was thinking 😭
I was just playing nes LOZ today, but this is a game I can get down on. This looks like a lot of fun.
Gels (the slimes) and Keese (the bats) never drop anything. I don't know if its properties are changed here, but in the original they're also the only two enemies killed rather than merely stunned by the Boomerang.
Enemies look easier to deal with but I think navigating the world would be more difficult, lol.
there's a waterfall near lost hills where you can walk into...
A map screen in the lower left corner would help. I've played and beaten the original Zelda a few times. Even I would be lost trying to find my way in this confusing maze.
11:45 Yes you do! You ALWAYS want to go down the staircase.
I remade it in as Quake 2 maps decades ago. However it was still all Quake II monsters.
Everyone - including me - asking if someone's fridge can run DOOM, but someone asked, if DOOM can run Zelda.
Not to mention it's absolutely great!
I want to see a seasoned speed runner beat this.
Now I want this for Links Awakening
and A Link to the Past!
no, imagine this for minish cap... that would be WILD.
This is the single greatest creation I have ever witnessed
