(This is a Homebrew game)
Much like the Metroid II remake, a redux of the original Zelda is expected to be released in the near future. Titled The Legend of Zelda: The Shards of Light, it's been in development by a fellow by the name of 'BassAceGold' since about December 2007. Here was the first post on the subject from his blog:
"This project is pretty big and I won’t be releasing it until its done. What I hope to do is to remake the First LOZ game from the nes but with improved graphics, sound and controls (for some parts). Now everything is going smoothly and I’m going to continue on the game until I hit a road block of some sort. At that point I’ll just quit. This is really more of a test for my self to see how far I could really get."
Well, the project's path turned out better than expected, because as of now it's just about complete. Here is one of the latest screenshots:
As you may be able to tell, he's implemented a 3D sprite system to give the game a facelift. Not too shabby looking at all.
So, more or less there's just some touching/fixing up to do before a demo is ready:
"The first Demo will be released (to those who donate) once the overworld part is completed which could take any where from a month or 2 or 3.."
Again, I have to reiterate my fervent prayer that Nintendo is smart enough to work with the programmer on this and perhaps release it commercially somehow. Or is it better off left to the independent scene? Your thoughts?
Don't know about this... Althouh it seems to be being made by one person, totally unafficialted with Nintendo, it would be a nice Idea... It looks impressive so far... (If it's true! 
)
