The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Super Nintendo · 2026

Hyrule, playable through the early dungeon, with adaptive widescreen, MSU-1 audio, and a first Linux build.

A Link to the Past is one of the three released SNESRecomp titles, currently at v0.6.1 (2026-08-06). Playable through the early dungeon, per the framework README, and proudly labeled alpha.

What works today

The game is playable through the early dungeon. The v0.6.0 release was a step up in platform reach, moving to SDL3 and shipping the project's first Linux build.

Enhancements

Adaptive widescreen arrived as a mod in v0.6.0. It caps at a 446px logical width, roughly a 2:1 aspect, because sprites cannot safely render wider than that. MSU-1 support adds CD-quality audio.

Known limitations

Progress beyond the early dungeon is not yet claimed, and the widescreen cap is a hard limit of the current sprite handling.

No game data is distributed; the project builds from your own legally dumped ROM.
