A fantastic Super Zelda clone written for the C64 by Crossbow/Crest and was a secret part to the demo Krestage 3. This awesome clone has to be seen to be believed. Unfortunately it seems we will never see a full version of this game anytime soon.

When you think about a Zelda conversion on the C64, you think of getting something which is fairly close to the NES versions in terms of graphics. Well, the C64 version does its best to blow you away by providing a conversion which looks almost identical to the 16-bit Snes version. A really fantastic achievement and a testament to the awesome graphical work which has been done.

The demo allows you to walk around a very accurate representation of Zelda’s map, with the ability to swish your sword and even chop the greenary of the map like in the original game. It seems that quite a big chunk of the map is in place, and the clone/conversion was well on its way to becoming a fully fledged game.

The game was ditched after Crossbow lost interest in the development and time was against him. This seems therefore to be a mere proof of concept. To complete a game of this scale would take so much blood and sweat for maybe only a thousand or so who may play it. We assume that the hidden part is all that was ever created, though there may be some small bits and pieces that Crossbow may show someday. This seems to be it, and all that may ever be sadly  

We’d love this game to not be a GTW, but sadly it seems it indeed is and is another one to chuck into the archives…

A fantastic C64 Super Zelda conversion… case closed…
