The original game was released in August 2006 and built with a custom C++ engine; the SE remake was rebuilt in Solarus by Christopho, Mymy, and Vincent Jouillat to take advantage of the engine's capabilities. The archived GitHub mirror says the repository moved to GitLab and describes the remake as essentially the same game with many details improved through Solarus. It also notes that the project can serve as a source of scripts for Solarus users because weapons and dungeon-room behavior are implemented in Lua scripts. ### Adoption history Adoption is narrow but visible inside the Solarus community: the game is distributed as a Solarus quest, featured on the Solarus games site, and preserved with source access for people studying or packaging Solarus-made games. ### How it is used Players run the quest with the Solarus engine. Developers interested in Solarus can inspect the game's Lua scripts for weapons such as the hammer, hookshot, bow, fire rod, and ice rod, plus dungeon-room systems and enemy/pot restoration behavior. ### Why package nerds care The package is interesting less as a mainstream game and more as a packaged open-source game-data artifact: a fangame quest distributed separately from its engine, with source assets and scripts useful to Solarus users and retro-game packagers. ### Timeline - 2006-08: Original Return of the Hylian released using a custom C++ engine. - 2015-08: Solarus site lists the Solarus Edition release date. - 2018-06: GitHub mirror was archived after the project moved to GitLab. - 2019-08: Solarus page lists the latest game update date. ### Related projects - Solarus: open-source engine required to run the quest. - Zelda Oni Link Begins SE: Solarus remake of the sequel to Return of the Hylian. - Zelda Time to Triumph: another Vincent Jouillat Zelda fangame in the same trilogy lineage. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** zelda-roth-se - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Game and emulation packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/game-emulation-tools/) - Matched game or emulation metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [solarus](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/solarus/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [zsdx](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zsdx/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, solarus, zelda-fangame. - [zsxd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zsxd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, solarus, zelda-fangame. - [allureofthestars](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/allureofthestars/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. - [angband](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/angband/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. - [avanor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/avanor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. - [ballerburg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ballerburg/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. - [bastet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bastet/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. - [brogue](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/brogue/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
