About

You and five other rivals are trying to become famous enough to rule Hyrule. Earn fame by exploring the overworld, discovering treasure, slaying dangerous beasts, and killing your rivals.

You can move with arrow keys, numpad, or vi keys, pickup items with [g], view the map with [m], examine monsters with [space], and use your items' special abilities with [z] and [x]. You should press [?] when you start to get a better idea of what's going on.

Future plans?

Even though I'm done with it I've got some ideas on how to turn its ideas into a full-sized roguelike some day.

• Underground dungeons. With puzzles and traps and treasures and boss fights!
• Better rivals. They should know how to use each item and have more of a personality.
• Better creatures. Some traits aren't very interesting. There also should be more variety in monster behavior and ai.
• Balance. Many of the items aren't very useful and the two item limit is too strict. There also needs to be more rupees.
• Focus. I should ditch the evasion mechanic since it doesn't add much.
