I am uncertain if this is the appropriate place for revealing my quest, but here it goes.
Zelda- TWEAKED! is a 98% accurate projection of how I thought the BS 1st Quest ought to be. It reflects, within my design capabilities, a vision that represents in totality the ordering of all elements in the quest according to my will and desires.
This being so, however, does not in any way signify the demise of the core "spirit" of the BS 1st quest that its' designers imbued it with. Therefore, although you will, in this Quest Authors' humble opinion, find changes abound, this release of BS 1st Quest will in all likelyhood still feel like home territorry to most (if not all) Zelda Classic veterans. To all who come to this quest for the first time, it is hoped that you will find enjoyment in this latest "1st Quest Remake" (to use the official term).
Regardless as to wether you happen to be a Zelda Master or N00b ;) , enjoy the presentation.

THE QUEST
Zelda- TWEAKED! 3.0 (http://fast.filespace.org/Stranger/Zelda_TWEAKEDG.zip)
2.0 Update: While this is not an "essential" update perse, it none the less addresses the following annoyances:
*One of the merchants went and lost his text string. I am pleased to say he has found it again.
*The number of redundant overworld caves has been reduced.
3.0 Update: A number of little cosmetic changes, plus a bugfix:
* The Bow and the Arrow graphics have been given a face-lift.
* The hearts in the life meter have undergone a slight modification.
* The final room (which contains Zelda) had a slight glitch. It is Now fixed.
Also, starting sometime in the near future, I will be writing a walk-through/strategy guide for Zelda- TWEAKED!
Feel free to leve any comments, praise, critisisms, or bug reports.
