The Nightmare of Ganon is a complete redesign of the NES game Zelda II with new story, overworld, caves, palaces, towns, item order, random encounters, and more.
It’s a hardtype and more challenging then the original game. Enemies don’t take more hits then usual, the difficulty lies more in the design.
It’s much longer because of a bigger overworld which has more caves and bridges. There are longer caves and deeper palaces.
There are a couple custom changes to gameplay which include enemies that respawn & you can restart at the palace if you game over.
This romhack will give a feeling like it’s a totally new Zelda II game because none of the design is similar to the original.
