The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (xander-haj)

Game: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past → (SNES / Super Famicom, 1991)

Z3R is a fork of zelda3, snesrev’s C reimplementation of A Link to the Past, adding widescreen, HUD changes, settings, and an early randomizer. The source builds a native executable and a runtime asset file, zelda3_assets.dat, that is generated from your ROM. For now the randomizer only shuffles the items in dungeon chests. It has its own launcher (Z3R Launcher) and a wiki. The latest release, 0.2.4 (June 16), ships packages for Windows, Linux (AppImage and Flatpak), and macOS.

You needYour own clean The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (USA) ROM, as zelda3.sfc or zelda3.smc in the project root, to extract the assets. Building from source also needs Git, Python 3 with Pillow and PyYAML, SDL2, and a C compiler (MSBuild or TCC on Windows).
