Description:
Parallel Remodel is a remodeled version of the famous Zelda3 hack Parallel Worlds, that we all know as an extremely difficult game. Parallel Worlds is altogether a great technological marvel, with new gfx, various asm patches, completely new overworld and dungeons etc. It has the potential of being even better than Alttp, but the gameplay is somewhat too radical. The backtracking was (in not so rare occasions) escalated to the extreme, the same goes for the health of some enemies. Some intellectual problems in the dark world dungeons are algorithm marvels: sure this is a good thing for math (Euclid really fits his nickname), but this is not a good thing for the player, who can easily give up.
Thus the idea of a remodel was born and was approved by SePH. Parallel Remodel therefore brings the difficulty to normal: backtracking was reduced almost to zero, algorithm problems were replaced, various semi bosses were reduced, special stunts like bomb jumping etc were removed, dark rooms are now lit etc.
Parallel Remodel is a game that’s fair to the player and doesn’t want to force any super tricks, stunts or logic to finish the game, while still having a decent difficulty. It makes Parallel Worlds enjoyable. You don’t have to use save states or cheats to finish the game. You don’t have to be a veteran or a super player either. You will not be frustrated while playing.
Parallel Remodel recreates Parallel Worlds according to the 6 years of revisions from players all over the globe. It is suitable for beginners and veterans, for those who have failed at Parallel Worlds and for those who have finished it, since this game is a lot more than just a plain reduction of sprites.

Totally New Zelda game!
Reviewed By: wildcompassion on 13 Apr 2016Truly an amazing game. Everything great about Link to the Past but shines in a new way! I appreciate that the Remodel is a more manageable playable game then the insanely hard regular version. I love the added graphics (sprites), the boat yard, new trees, etc etc, lots of new stuff and it all fits and feels exactly like Zelda. also.. Elsa really did a number on the dark world lol.
As a note: some of the text has been switched around between characters, places it shouldn’t be, for example the thief told me “I am the triforce”. It’s happening more now. A lot of characters told me “Would you like to buy bottles” that were not selling bottles, etc. A boss said “I have been defeated” before we stared fighting. I know the struggle.. when you’re making a game, you change some code and it offsets something else, but you don’t notice it is offset until like months later.
Also, I don’t really like the low heart beeping sound, I know it’s that way in all Zelda games, but I wish there was a way to turn it off. It just makes the dying process more annoying, is distracting, hurts the harmony of the game in my opinion. It’s sort of an aesthetic thing i wouldn’t have noticed in the past, but personally I think talking it out could give a more relaxing breath to the game.
