  Z for 2 - A two-player simultaneous cooperative mod of
  The Legend of Zelda -- Version 0.9.0
===============================================================

After 40 years, The Legend of Zelda is now available to play 
as a two-player simultaneous cooperative multiplayer game.  

Player 2 takes on the role of Link's Shadow. 

Either player can pick up and use any item, and each player 
can select their active item independently of the other.  
Players share resources and health.  

Each player's Select button switches their active item 
without the need to pull up the inventory screen.
