~GUIDE OF CHOOSING~

VERSION DIFFERENCES BELOW-

NEWBIE- 
In Newbie mode, Start with SWORD, and love it! Your direct hits are stronger than sword beams, and in general you
are way more powerful than all other versions of the hack... Wood Sword feels like the White sword! 
Same amount of enemies appear as in the Casual patch.
Rooms are brighter in dungeons and have less enemies than in the harder patches, Veteran and Master.
Shop items cost less, and dungeon keys can be bought for cheap amounts of Rupees.
More obvious secret spots than the two harder versions, and you don't get punished by
many door repairs. Instead you are rewarded!
Overworld has more breathing room and is easier to explore.
Fairy above the start screen.

-----Newbie is perfect for those who have never played, or those who don't have enough time for games, due to business-----

CASUAL-
In Casual mode, expect a casual game! You start with a SWORD! The difficulty should be about the same as the 
original Zelda 1, maybe slightly harder. Rooms are brighter in dungeons and have less enemies than in the
harder patches, called Veteran and Master. 
Sword is weaker than in Newbie mode, but a little stronger than veteran mode.
Normal Item prices and more obvious secret spots than the two harder versions, and you don't get punished by
many door repairs. Instead you are rewarded!
Overworld has more breathing room and is easier to explore.
Fairy above the start screen.

-----Casual is the perfect mode for those who just want to re-expierence the original Zelda 1, but in a new light.-----

VETERAN-
This is the real deal! This patch is more difficult than Casual and Newbie. You start with a BOOMERANG, that can now
do damage! Damage of the boomerang has been slightly increased from the past 1.0 and 1.1 releases of the hack.
More enemies than Casual, but less than Master.
Sword and all items are weaker than the two easier versions.
Normal Item Prices.
Overworld has more breathing room and is easier to explore.
Less obvious secret spots than Casual, but not as many door repairs as used in past versions.
Fairy above the start screen.

-----Veteran is the perfect patch for those who have played and beaten many Zelda Classic custom quests! AKA, pros.-----

MASTER-
The mode of true master! Do NOT play this version unless you REALLY love a good challenge!
The death theme is different from other versions of the hack ;)
Sword and all items are the same strength as the Veteran patch, EXCEPT the Boomerang, which is
as strong as it was in the 1.0 and 1.1 patches: AKA weaker.
Rooms are DARKER in dungeons and have MORE enemies than all
other patches.
Many more enemies in overworld, not to the point of extreme lag though.
Overworld is like a huge maze, with dead-ends and narrow paths.
Items are 5-10% more expensive in shops! All Keys in shops cost 255 rupees.
Sometimes you are punished by door repairs, so watch out!
Items in dungeons are obscured, and things aren't as obvious as the other versions.
NO BOOMERANG at start of 2nd quest. You must only use bombs.
NO fairy above the start screen.

-----Master mode is perfect for those who think they can do better than all versions 
 combined, this mode truly lives up to the games' title, and IS harder than veteran for sure-----


If you don't like one version, give another a try! :)

I'd love to see a let's play of Master Mode though, XD.
