While Super Mario Maker is not coming to the PC, YouTube’s ‘Dream Mix’ decided to release a similar freeware project based on the old 2D Zelda games on the PC. Yeap, Zelda Maker is a thing and you can go ahead and download it while you still can.
Zelda Maker is described as a non-official project started by YouTube’s ‘Dream Mix’, which will allow players to create and share Legend of Zelda worlds of their own.
“Nintendo might cease and desist a project like this, so in time, when I’ve got the ability to change the sprites, I will do so, and I will also add things that Zelda games don’t have to make it a somewhat unique experience. Regardless, I won’t be acting like this isn’t going to be a Zelda (Maker?) clone, through and through. I’d just like to add some things that I think official Zelda games could use. This is a very early build of the game, and it does not represent what the final game will look like.”
It’s a pretty cool project and since Nintendo does not have in store anything like that, we strongly believe that it should – at least for the time being – avoid sending this guy a C&D letter.
Those interested can download Zelda Maker’s alpha 0.01 version from here or here.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
