https://mega.nz/file/EzBWDApS#b1LThkCn5LnKlfIapBDiM04D2afiewIclqC498jHr1c
The patches need to be applied on ALTTP (US), no header. You need a UPS patcher.

-------------------------------------------

Hello Zeldix users! My name is superskuj and I'm ready to present a brand new romhack called Secrets Of The Past! This is a small/medium sized new quest, featuring all new dungeons and a new overworld. I'd rate it at a relatively low difficulty, though I hope some parts will challenge your mind or body in a satisfying way Smile

I'm calling this the 1.0 version, though I expect there will still be some bugfixes and minor tweaks etc to come. I believe, however, that all major fixes are complete. Please provide me with productive feedback to improve this and also improve my skills for future projects!

Patch it to an unheadered US version ROM.

Edit: Fixed a few bugs and updated the readme with more info about how to patch a ROM, I'll call it v1.01

I'd also like to post here all the hex edits and changes like that I made in case some of them might help future generations. Some of these are already known and documented, but for convenience I have them all compiled together. Please excuse my poor formatting, hopefully it's still comprehensible Razz

There are a few different ways to get through there:

Okay, I'm now in the next dungeon.

Spoiler:

All in all I can say: This is a really well made hack!

I did try this hack. It looks promising enough, but I went to this problem in dungeon 2(the desert one):
The Legend Of Zelda: Secrets Of The Past - Page 2 SotP_00000_zpsakaydbeh
I don't even know how am I supposed to get through this. Must I be a pro here?
Also, there's a cave with the red darknut throwing green bombs and 2 green darknuts walking in-between small iron walls. Must I use the Cane of Somalia there?
Also, isn't just me or some items are way too hidden like the bombos medallion?
Still, I'd like to see more of your hack!
Also:

It isn't bad, but you might want to fix the cutoff.
Edit: Never mind. hookshot=win.

Just played through most of it and wanted to drop a note to say, thanks for making this!  I really enjoyed it.  Even though it's a short, manageable size, there are some pretty clever puzzles and uses of items that I enjoyed having to figure out.

Nice compact hack. Overworld maybe more so than I'd prefer (it's very easy to run into all the "guess I'll need item X here" dead ends), but some people want to focus more on dungeon design I suppose. I do like the 2 items & bosses per dungeon approach, which is not done often.

Difficulty goes up pretty fast, but mostly honestly … the only things so far that seem cheap are a few of the Beamos conveyor belts in the desert dungeon and the snake shooter in the Arrghus fight. (I just got the fire rod, will be reaching pendant 2 soon probably.)

Minor bug BTW: ice elementals can be killed with swordbeam hits, allowing getting to the ice palace boss w/o the fire rod. Moving spikes and antifairies also flash as if taking damage, though I didn't try yet if they actually die at any point.

Edit: now have all pendants and just Ganon left. I liked the generous shortcuts-to-last-boss available in most dungeons. And yeah: antifairies are also killable by swordbeams, even though it takes something like 64 hits.

Which glitch do I need to take advantage of? Hookshot-dashing, dash clipping, or something else entirely? I'm a completionist, so I want those chests. lol.
A glitch that I've never seen used in another LttP hack. If you push a movable block, you can fire your Hookshot through the block during the brief second that it's moving, and use this glitch to Hookshot through a block if there's something to latch onto on the far side. This is how you get those two chests.

.....

So, I'm also a completionist, and I have been wondering about these "three magic spells" referred to by the Potion Shop attendant. I assume these refer to the three Medallions. I have two of 'em. I've known about Ether for a while:
Spoiler:
and I just located Bombos this time through:
Spoiler:
but I've never seen a trace of the Quake Medallion. Can anyone point me in the right direction to locate this? Though short, this is a nice quest with some interesting puzzles.

Besides the Quake Medallion, I also do not have Ice Rod, Book of Mudora, Cane of Byrna, Bottle4, Sword4, Mirror Shield, Red Tunic, or Moon Pearl. I'm missing 5 Heart Containers (as in, I have 15), no 1/2 Magic, and no extra Bombs or Arrows. I'm pretty certain that none of these can be found in the game, but just want to check if this is accurate.
