Open Legends is pretty much what you're wanting, but it seems to have died since the last time I used it. Anyway it's basically a very competent Zelda editor (see this screenshot, for instance) but I really don't know what state it's in as it's a good year or so since I last used it. Check out the forum for what seems to be the new incarnation.

Another possibility is Game Maker. Check out Zelda Fan Game Community for sprites and code samples and whatnot. This is the more involved method since the editor isn't Zelda-focussed, but the people there are friendly and will (hopefully) give you any help you need. The advantage is that you can add in features that the Open Legends programmers didn't think of.

I am actually a member of the OpenZelda group. (That's what Open Legends used to be called, and we have now reverted back to that name)

Although we don't have as much activity as we did back at AGN, we do still have a good amount of activity, and more so recently than we've had in a while.

I'm glad to see people mentioning OpenZelda outside of our own group.

thanks very helpful unlike mostforums

Coincidently, I was just checking out the Open Legends forums yesterday - I was looking in on Z2E and noticed OL's forums were on Gaming Universe as well

open zelda in a sense was what i was looking for being that i wanted to create my own zelda game however i dont really know how to write scripts what i was really looking for was a drag and drop sort of thing......if anyone knows of anything please tell me

Hmm, I should check that out! Maybe I could start learning how to create my own versions of different Zelda games! How can I get to this site, using its new name?

Zelda Classic and their quest editor might be what you're looking for. It's pretty straightforward and easy to use, plus there are plenty of fan-made games to download.Zelda Classic

Welcome 618. Nice to see a new face.

I really appreciate the work you guys have done on these games. I have been a zelda fan for a long time and was quite excited to discover something new.

Ah, new to the BS Zelda games... that's always an exciting feel to find these. Have you gotten into playing Map-1 or Map-2 very far? We're all curious as to what the fans think of the game restoration done. Also, give AST a shot, Duke and Euclid put a heap of work into making it the best it could be!

You want to know the easiest way to make a zelda game? Hyrule magic! It's an easy Link to the Past editor that can be found here:

OMG!! That is just...awesome!! Ya, I've always wanted to make a Master Quest version of A Link to the Past, but with this program I can finally make that a reality.

Let's not overdo sarcasm... you almost fried my buffer with that post.

We already have an ALttP "Master Quest"... it's called "Ancient Stone Tablets"...
