What trickery is this? You can now play the original Legend of Zelda in your browser in 3D thanks to the magic of Javascript. For Zelda's 30th anniversary, Scott Lininger and Mike Magee have rendered the first three dungeons of the NES classic in voxels. You can have a go here, at least until Nintendo's legal team unleashes an age of darkness.
The remaining dungeons and the accompanying overworld are to follow, in addition to major bugfixes. Boomerangs, for example, are completely broken, while that chippy warning bleep you get when on your last half-heart of health never turns off. As the devs put it, "This is not the greatest game in the world, no; This is just a tribute."
They're not the first team to experiment with voxels in your browser—there's a functional NES emulator that extrapolates 3D models from sprites in any ROM you care to feed it.

20% of £0.00 is £200? :laughing:

Man, the word "deal" is being treated very loosely these days.......I bet the OP is affiliated with the people who've made this.
The game's not yet fully finished, but the core concept - the originally single-screen game becoming a full 3D world - is in place, and three dungeons are fully playable.
Hope they get to finish it and Nintendo leave it alone...

Even if he is, does it make it any less of a "deal"/"freebie"? Whether it is a deal or freebie depends on what it costs you, not what they may or may not make from it.

You've only posted one deal, you're not overly qualified to say what constitutes one :stuck_out_tongue:
Cheers Buzz, heat!

I considered it to be fair, but the word 'freebie' is thrown around way too loosely. :smirk:
No need to apologise :smiley:
