I agree. The Old Mastered Icon was way better.
Spawncalibur 28 Jul 2022 05:33
Just noticed that icon ouch. Straight from the cartoon or something.
Biscoitero 29 Jul 2022 04:44
Mastered ! #RespeitaOBiscoitero
Mutawarrior 29 Jul 2022 06:28
The icon is from the Japanese box art of the game (Kamigami no Triforce for the Super famicom).
Ultros 9 Aug 2022 08:21
Pretty sure the artwork in the icon is in the game's english manual too.
Mutawarrior 12 Aug 2022 08:48
Yup, page 8.

Mastered! It was a super fun first experience
banthis89 29 Oct 2022 01:30
Fun set, if not a little frustrating sometimes because of the no damage stuff. Was my first time playing it too.
williamgeesdorf 23 Nov 2022 01:18
Mastered (platinado)! The Cane/Magic Cape with some Green Potions make the No Damage cheevos easy to obtain. Ganon is trickier since you have to cycle between the Fire Rod, Cape\Cane\Green Potions and Bow but it didn't take many tries.
Golbi2654 4 Dec 2022 22:52
Is the Redux romhack supported? Especially when you enable MSU1 and change some things by further patching the game.
EricFilippoBR 5 Dec 2022 13:28
Detonado 100%.
Zerei esse jogo pela primeira vez jogando a versão de GBA. A versão do SNES é mais bonita. Porém, a versão de GBA contém a voz do Link kkkkkkkk.
O jogo é fantástico! Zerar a versão de original pela primeira vez foi uma experiência muito bacana, ainda mais usando o controle original do SNES da 8Bitdo.
Enfim, história fantástica, jogo maravilhoso para a sua época, recomendo demais para todo fã de Zelda!

PLATINADO!! 200%
RoboMech 9 Dec 2022 07:19
Shame it doesn't support the redux romhack.

This game is brilliant, 200% done!
