Legend Of Zelda - CS50 Version

Introduction

This is a simplified version of the classic game The Legend of Zelda developed as part of the CS50 Introduction to Game Development course. In this game, players control a character who must navigate through dungeons, defeat enemies, and solve puzzles to progress.

• Player movement and interaction with objects and enemies.
• Basic combat system with sword attacks.
• Dungeon exploration with multiple rooms and obstacles.
• Collectible items and power-ups.
• Heart system for player health.

Additional Features (from Game Dev Specifications)
