Isn't this just the javascript gameboy emulator that has been posted here before?

Or maybe it's a different one: https://github.com/grantgalitz/GameBoy-Online

Wow, lots of nostalgia with this one. I love the disproportionate hitbox of Links Sword and the sound of the Owl's 8-bit hoot.

Strange thing just happened when I fired this up. I was playing some other music, and it suddenly sounded like I was blowing out my speakers. I wasn't playing the music very loud, but the bass became extremely scratchy. As soon as I closed the tab, it cleared up. (Win 7 Chrome 12.0.742.100)

You see, the problem is that chrome has bugs. Try running it in Firefox 5 for windows. It's not my fault. period. See some comments in http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/i9s9h/legend_of_zeld... for other various chrome related issues.
