#14Very neat to see this isn't just a re-implementation but provides some modernization by providing extra menus, and persistent storage. Great work. Helps make me feel a little less bad to download multiple MBs for what would otherwise be a small emulator + 64KB ROM :) edit: typo
Zelda Classic is a very open ended game engine that happens to have Zelda 1 assets baked in
I recall people making entire Metroidvanias with it

#15Very cool port, I like that it tries to integrate it into the browser features instead of calling it a day after compiling. The lack of D-pad support is a bit jarring considering gamepads are supported but it was still very playable.

#16Zelda Classic holds a special place in my heart. My older brother downloaded it thinking it was just a Zelda 1 clone. I discovered it had a quest editor. And it was a very magical moment for me. I spent hundreds of hours never completing any of my projects. It was the first online community I ever joined and actively participated in. Eventually I yearned for for power and discovered Dark Basic. Now I’m a software dev…
Almost as instrumental as my dad's Ti 83 Plus in my eventual career path

My developer career also started with gaming.
The StarCraft map/script editor was my entry drug.

Sounds like that story is worth a submission of its own!
There's probably enough material to write a whole article about it. I just thought it was funny how history repeats itself.

#20Also thank you for this work! When WASM was first announced this is the kind of project that I envisioned we'd see more of. Instead, everything has been mobile-centric and app-centric but you give me hope.
