'Legend of Zelda' with Brandon Dillon

Hack N Slash creator Brandon Dillon and producer Matt Hansen get to the roots of Brandon’s inspiration by cracking open the NES classic The Legend of Zelda, literally. After taking apart the cartridge, de-soldering and dumping the rom, and booting the game up in an emulator, Brandon sets about altering the running memory of the game to cheat his way through and unlock some unexpected secrets about how the game was developed. Part 1 features Brandon explaining his personal history with the game along with some of the motivations behind it's development. Part 2 features Brandon and Matt taking apart the Zelda cart to get to the sweet, sweet rom inside. In Part 3, Brandon and Matt prepare to play the Zelda rom in the best way possible- by disassembling an NES controller and re-wiring it to work as a PC USB controller. In Part 4, Brandon alters the running memory of the rom in real time, causing some interesting changes to happen in the game.
