Play The Original Version Of Zelda In Your Browser

It’s pretty amazing how far along we’ve come in terms of technology. Back in the day, we would need dedicated consoles to play certain games as computers weren’t as powerful back then, but fast forward to today, games that used to require a console to run are playable within our browsers itself.

In fact as a tribute to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda turning 30 years old, programmer Scott Lininger and artist Mike Magee decided to create a 3D version of the original NES classic and make it playable within your computer’s browser. Dubbed The Legend of Zelda 30-Year Tribute, this game is an open-source title built in WebGL.

This means that it is playable not just on your computer’s browser, but your mobile browser as well. Unfortunately according to those who have tried it out, it isn’t as precise as the original version and because they have made it 3D, it’s a bit hard to tell when enemies are hitting you which can be annoying.

However it is a fun project all the same but given that Nintendo has been known to quickly shutdown fan remakes/tributes, don’t be surprised if the game were to be pulled from the internet soon. In the meantime you can check it out for yourself over here.
