It appears that this website is no longer running suspicious scripts and that you can access the quests. Unfortunately, it looks like the FAQs and Downloads pages were wiped, as well as the tilesets for quests were reset.

Let us know if you find any additional problems on the forums or as a comment to this news post.

EDIT 5/15: It appears that the Downloads page is working again. However, I found that the comments for each quest have also been deleted.

About a month ago, A Link to Power by tox_von was uploaded to the database. A news entry was never made. Better late then never!

Also, we're not entirely sure why one of the quests was deleted. I believe the link was invalid, so maybe one of the staff did the job. We apologize for this.

A new quest has been added to the database.

Light of the Heavens DX by Russ

Now hop on it and vote it up!!

Kenster has submitted Rise of Ganon, a quest that has been on PureZC since earlier this year. If you haven't played it yet, well, what are you waiting for? Make sure that you use version 2.10.

[Also, I've updated my own quest, End of Time DX. Thanks, Cyclone, for all of your input and help! And this is not a shameless plug... I will be announcing EVERY quest upload and update.]

If you've been trying to use www.zeldaclassic.com to access our page for the past few months, you will have noticed that you couldn't connect. Alternate domains, however, were fully functional (such as www.armageddongames.net/zeldaclassic). Well, thanks to the work of the admins, the site is fully accessible again. ZC 2.5 is still under development, and help is always needed. Feel free to come into the forums and test it out for us.

Secondly, I normally do not make announcements about quests. However, we've received a quest update for a rather old quest, Lands of Serenity by Chris Miller. Besides bug fixes, it's been ported to version 2.10 for everyone to enjoy.

Happy new year, ZC community! We are kicking the new year off with the AGN Winter Expo! Please click here to enter; make sure to read the rules and procedural details. The AGN Expo is a biannual event in which all quest authors may create threads (in the appropriate sub-forums, of course) about their upcoming quests, scripts, and graphics/music. This is open to everyone, so why don't you come on in and submit something?

Also, if you haven't clicked in for awhile, the forums have been hacked and we lost all posts from around May to November of 2009. Our thanks to the AGN administrators and staff for getting everything else working correctly.

Finally, ZC 2.5 is still in the works. Check out this site for development updates.

The Zelda Classic Development team is hosting a quest-making contest, the winner of which will have his quest packaged with the release version of Zelda Classic 2.5! The theme is similar to the Official 3rd quest contest done many years ago, where the completed quest is similar in purpose and design to the 2nd quest of the original NES game The Legend of Zelda.

Please visit the official thread for rules and more information

Happy quest-building!

(Sorry about the late start.)

The 2009 AGN Winter Expo is finally open to submission! Come into the AGN Expo forum and submit any of your quests, scripts, graphics, and music for any version of ZC that you are currently working on. Make sure you read the threads titled "AGN Expo Procedural Details" and "AGN Expo Rules and Guidelines" so that everything may go as smoothly as possible. Anyone who is not a member will have to register (for free).

Note: Yes, even if you have posted a thread before in a previous AGN Expo or PureZC Expo, feel free to make a duplicate thread that would mark any progress and improvements since then. We'd all love to see it.

I should also mention that ZC 2.5 is making considerable progress. Check out the new builds at www.shardstorm.com. I always make sure to keep the development history up-to-date.

We are open to submission! Come into the AGN Expo forum and submit any of your quests, scripts, graphics, and music for any version of ZC that you are currently working on. For any newcomers, make sure you read the threads titled "AGN Expo Procedural Details" and "AGN Expo Rules and Guidelines".

Note: Yes, even if you have posted a thread before in the Winter Expo, feel free to make a duplicate thread documenting any advancements in your quest's progress (since the Winter Expo threads are locked).

The AGN Expo has begun two promising projects.

1. Screenshot of the Week 
Yep, it's the famous SotW contest, but now in a new flavor! We know that there are a lot of good screenshot makers out there, so we want to see some of your best work. Your participation in submitting and voting will keep this event running! For more information, click here.

2. Gemstone Quest Collection
Have you ever browsed through any of the dozens and dozens of older quests, completely overwhelmed by the vast quantity? Well, the monthly Gemstone event will pick an excellent older quest to feature. Of course, you can vote for one of several nominated quests. For more information, click here.

As always, to participate, you must register at the Armageddon Games Forums. It's quick, easy, and free. Also, a quick reminder that the open works Expo will resume in July.

Just a quick reminder for everyone.  We do not accept demos for submissions in the quest database.  You are free to post a link to a demo in the ZC Quest Discussion forum if you would like.  Submissions that do not contain completed quests will be deleted.

Edit by Pineconn: Also, submissions must be custom quests. A custom quest is defined as "a completed and working quest that you put the majority of work into creating." While we do accept 1st Quest remakes, they must be truly phenomenal, not cheap edits.

Finally, make sure that your quest number (in the header) is set to 0. Any quests with quest numbers that are not set to 0 will be delayed in processing or deleted.

As some of you may have noticed, the History link now shows the details of ZC 2.5's development status.

If you want a quick detail of what's going on, just click the History link.

If you want a copy of the most recent Beta, go directly to Shardstorm.

The quest database is now open for all submissions for Zelda Classic version 2.5 beta and below.

So, bring them on in!

If there are any issues with submitting, please report them to a Quest DB staff member immediately so we may locate the issue.

Hello all!

The official Zelda Classic Quest Database is almost ready to accept quests for ZC v2.10 and below! However, the staff asks that you do not submit your quests quite yet, as a few QDB bugs are being fixed by DarkDragon. We promise that the QDB will accept quests within the next week or so, so expect an announcement to be made when this happens.

In other news, several AGN members have volunteered and been given the authority to run the QDB, including Anarchy_Balsac, bigjoe, erm2003, franpa, Gleeok, Old-skool, rocksfan13, and myself. Along with moderators and administrators, a ton of people are updating the site, so you can expect a lot more information to be added to it very soon.
