What is the Legend of Iowa? CURSED aliexpress bootleg game - NES retro rom hack

What is this bootleg game? No, Really. Where did it come from? Why does it exist? Who thought this was a good idea? I purchased this extraordinary knockoff Nintento Entertainment System cartridge from your friendly neighborhood counterfeiters at AliExpress. I played a bit in my super clean NES, and I uploaded it to the internet, for all of you to enjoy. In case you haven't noticed, this american famicom game is fake. The game appears to be a modified version, or "rom hack", of the original Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda (1986). LOI was uploaded as a patch by somebody named Dr Floppy in 2015, who I do not think is a real person. There is so much wrong with this game, I can't fit it into a single video, at least not a video that would be allowed on YouTube. This is a follow up to the last romhack I found called " Super Mario Land DX ". That game is a lot simpler and better, but it had a funnier work of art made for the sticker on the game pak that I bought. Legend of Iowa is a complete overhaul of the original zelda, with new graphics, music, enemies, dungeons, maps, and a second quest. But this game is no master quest. It's a master class... in being the worst. When I sit with this crazy game plugged into my NES, looking wistfully at my remastered copy of The Legend of Zelda: Link's awakening on gameboy color or BoTW on switch... I know that I am not exactly playing the best zelda ever. I impulse bought this weird game in a late night shopping spree, because I sincerely thought they were just going to send me the Legend of Zelda. The sellers on the aliexpress.com web store like to photoshop bad art so they don't get in trouble for selling boot leg games. Fun Fact: The retro classic Legend of Zelda (LoZ to us cool kids) was not developed by Eiji Aonuma (LoZ Ocarina of time, N64), it was made by the team of Shigeru Miyamoto - the original creator of mario. If you want a longer demo or a full playthrough, 4k test footage, or walkthrough, of this weird homebrew game, then let me know with a comment.
