On A Boat 64 is a hack created by elarix for the Zelda Hack Competition, in which it placed 2nd.
This hack contains 10 Stars, all of which are required to finish the hack. It is heavily inspired by the game The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a popular instalment in the The Legend of Zelda franchise released in 2002. In that game, the protaganist explores the world using a magical boat both as a means of travel, and as a tool to solve puzzles and explore further into areas.
Gameplay Changes[]
Fall damage has been disabled in this hack, and coin Stars now only require 60 coins rather than 100. Coins have also been replaced with "rupees", although this is a cosmetic change only.
