Zelda Classic is a fan project to recreate the 2D Zelda games and allow you to create custom quests from Legend of Zelda style through to Link to the Past, and even beyond.
It is the most impressive fangame project, ever. The last version was 2.10, which basically made it possible to easily create LttP-style quests, and the new version 2.5 is in development which goes far beyond any Nintendo-made 2D Zelda.
The package includes a quest editor (extremely advanced), a quest player, and an example quest which is a PERFECT recreation of the original NES LoZ. It doesn't come anywhere near to what's possible with ZC though.

If you just want to see what can be done with it, here is a quest which is a) the top ranked ZC quest ever and b) Runs on a 2.5 beta so it has the latest features. This is the ONLY QUEST which requires a special build of ZC to play; most quests are run on the stable versions but this is a special exception.
