Remember when Nintendo showcased that BOTW 8-bit engine as a test platform? Well, as expected, someone made a playable version of it.

It's a free download, I saved it for later as it looked pretty interesting.
[ UPDATE ] - Grab it before they pull it down folks (small disclaimer, it is an .exe so run it at your own risk).
Neat! I'll also save it for later. I want to play the real game first.
If you didn't get it yet, this was taken down already.
No surprises there. Oh well good thing I downloaded it in time.
It was neat as a proof-of-concept, but there really wasn't a whole lot of game to it. I'm glad it got taken down so fast, it was going to happen eventually anyway, and now he can start working on the game without being tied to Zelda mythos and patterns.
lovely
