The Faces of Evil Remastered

The Faces of Evil Remastered is a modern port of one of the most obscure and controversial Zelda titles, originally released for the Phillips CD-i—the legendary (or infamous) "Link: The Faces of Evil". This remastered version brings the game to PC with its original resolution but smoother performance, refined controls, and helpful quality-of-life upgrades.

Unzip and start playing instantly

There's no installation required to play The Faces of Evil Remastered. Just unzip all the game files into a single folder and double-click "FOER.exe" to launch. It's a good idea to read the "ReadMe.txt" file, which includes troubleshooting tips and a full control guide. By default, you'll move Link with the arrow keys and use Z, X, C, and V to jump, attack, open the inventory, and use items.

Original vs. remaster—your choice

In the settings menu, you can toggle between the original and the remastered version— remaster is enabled by default. The updated version includes unlimited continues, green rupees like the rest of the series, and inventory access without crouching, among other enhancements. These upgrades, along with subtle tweaks, make The Faces of Evil Remastered far more enjoyable than the original release.
