-- DESCRIPTION --
The Legend of Zelda: 18 Hours Past is a Zelda III romhack that was finished while under an 18 hour time limit as a challenge between Letterbomb, Zarby89, Jared_Brian_, and Scawful. Obviously with limited time to design a game, there's things that could be improved on, and that's exactly what v1.12 sets out to do. However, do [b]NOT[/b] mistake this as just a simple update. There will be a ton of things from Custom Minimaps, Menus, Story Cutscenes, and more added into the hack. This update also plans to polish absolutely everything like Text, Palettes, Difficulty, and other things while keeping most of the design of the hack the same, to keep the feeling the hack brought in v1.00.
-- STORY --
The story takes place in the beautiful lands of Hylia, created by the Deities of Hylia; Saria, Darunia, and Ruto. After Hylia’s inception, two relics known as the Master Sword and the Tetraforce were left behind. The Tetraforce was an extraordinary treasure which was capable of granting any wish possible. As the world's population grew, this power became property of the Royal Family, where it was kept away from the rest of the world. Because of the unfathomable power the Tetraforce was rumored to have, many desired for this power. And soon, an evil being named Ganon emerged from an alternate world to grab the power of the Tetraforce himself.
In his attack, he shattered a part of the Tetraforce and it was downgraded to what we know now as the Triforce. The shards of the shattered Tetraforce also became the Pendant of Courage, Power and Wisdom, which were taken into hiding along with the Triforce by the Royal Family. Not long after that, Ganon reigned over the Royal Family and continued pursuing his search for the Triforce. As everything was becoming much more hopeless during Ganon’s reign, a Chosen Hero equipped with the legendary Master Sword and the Triforce emerged from the darkness to put an end to his ruling.
The Hero was successful in defeating Ganon, and he was soon sealed away by the King’s trusted Mages. Following Ganon's sealage, Hylia returned to the peaceful lands it once was. Soon after, the Chosen Hero mysteriously disappeared and let the Master Sword sleep in the Deep Woods. From there, all was looking well for the future of Hylia. But one day, Ganon escaped his seal because of a Rogue Mage who originally helped in sealing him. Ganon plotted his revenge ever since he was defeated, so when he was removed from his seal he put his plan into action. He first took over the Royal Family’s Soldiers, which caused havoc around the lands of Hylia, that were formerly protected by them.
As this is all happening, Zelda who is the daughter of the Royal Family and a friend are in the Forest Catacombs. Sensing that there was something wrong with the world of Hylia, they prayed to the Deities of Hylia. During their prayers, the Soldiers attacked and kidnapped Zelda and her friend and put Zelda into the Forest Catacomb’s Prison. Without any way to escape, she calls to her childhood friend Link, who is sleeping during this stormy and chaotic night. Hearing her calls, Link wakes up and the story begins...

Thank you very much, fantastic work, it looks beautiful!!!
Not yet no, which is why this is in "In Progress." I plan to hopefully have it out sooner or later though! Just have to work on some Intro Cutscene and Ending Cutscene stuff and a couple more things before it's done.
Also mostly put this here since not much really goes on in this section of the forum lol

Hello! I just updated on 18 Hours Past v1.10 in my Discord and I feel like I should also post it here just to show more Z3 things. Some things may be out of context but it should be still fine to look at for people not in the Discord. Without further ado;
Letterbomb wrote:As mentioned, this hack is super close to being complete to the point where I only really have some Text Polishing, the Ending Cutscene, and some other minor things left to do. It’s not too far away from completion, but these things have been really extending the dev-time of the project since things like Text Polishing and the Cutscenes are a major part of the game. Luckily though, I’ve had some help from Jeimuzu on some things like the Text Polishing, which has been a huge help since I only have the Sahasrahla Text and a bunch of General Texts to polish up before I can call the Texts done. He’s been helping with things like better wordings, better sentences and more, which has been really great since the Text is obviously a pretty huge part of the game to make.
I’m really grateful for the help with that, and the best thing is he isn’t the only person who’s helped me out with certain parts of the game. Zarby89 has also been helping me with something that’s really been uncharted territory for most Zelda 3 Hacks; a Custom Intro Cutscene. In the last update, I showed off that I got the Intro Cards completely drawn and put into the game. I was super happy with that, but I knew there was also going to be another portion of the cutscene I would have to finish; the actual scenes that happen afterward. As mentioned, Zarby89 has helped me make it customized. While there are some things in the cutscene that are minorly changed, the big thing that he helped with was the very last scene of the cutscene, which some may have seen from the ZScream Discord.
When I was planning out the Text for the Intro Cutscene, I knew that I would want to include the Link/Uncle scene at the very start of the game in the cutscene. Unfortunately, Zarby told me that the Intro Cutscene was actually really hardcoded and it wouldn’t really be possible to do myself. But, Zarby recoded the scene which helped in replacing the sprites and palette that the cutscene uses to make what I wanted possible. To show what I mean, here is a screenshot of what it looks like in Vanilla and what it turned into in 18 Hours Past.

In fact, I really want to be generous and show off the whole cutscene now that it is all finally complete. Even though I showed the Intro Cards last update, I’ll show them here again with the rest of the cutscene to really home in the fact that I got this whole thing done.

It’s awesome that I was able to get this into the game, and it would not have been possible without the help of Zarby, which as always has just helped me out a ton with the more custom side of things. As of recently, that’s really all I have gotten done though besides the Text. I don’t really think a lot of people would be that interested in seeing Text though. Hopefully next month however I should have a lot to show off for this game, whether it’ll be from releasing it or more updates on the hack itself.
Hello! Very glad to announce that The Legend of Zelda: 18 Hours Past v1.10 has finally released! The post has been updated with the patch and everything, and the old v1.00 post has been removed since this patch also includes v1.00. Have fun!!!
