PC Gamer:
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.

sorted byTotally. Currently receiving 20% of their profits for every click I get on this freebie.
20% of £0.00 is £200? X)

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...
I hope so.
I considered it to be fair, but the word 'freebie' is thrown around way too loosely. (_;)
No need to apologise
So what if it was? If you don't like the deal, don't click the link, or vote. Or vote it cold if you want to. Buzz has posted a great number of deals and saved me alone alot of cash. Sites like HUKD are free to use but cost money to run, so even IF Buzz (or others) were posting these deals for revenue, I have no problem with that.
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
Cheers Buzz, heat!
It's in freebies. So what's your point?
I second this head shake
Still available on the web archive here: Zelda30tribute

Ad revenue? web traffic? click bait? all ways to make money from freebies
It's dangerous to go outside alone, take this...
Princess Zelda?
