Unofficial Legend of Zelda Maker in the Works

Fans have been craving a Legend of Zelda game inspired by Super Mario Maker, and one designer is doing just that.

Known as The Legend of Zelda Maker, the project's early alpha build is now available to download and try out. It allows creators to use an all-familiar palette from classic top-down Legend of Zelda games and plop titles across an open landscape. Rivers, grass hedges, baddies and more can be stitched together.

Aware that Nintendo could jump with a cease-and-desist, the game's designer Justin Sink is planning to change the sprites and game name is necessary.

Back in June, the producer of Super Mario Maker, Takashi Tezuka, said that the game would be "challenge to make", given how difficult it was to develop the Mario version.
