Project Zelda: Episode 1 is an adventure map that was designed by NOPEname. This is a full Zelda game inside “vanilla” [1] Minecraft! This means this is no recreation of any existing Zelda game. Instead, it has its own overworld, dungeon(s), story, custom mobs & NPCs, etc. The map is actually a series, where every episode will contain one (main) island and one dungeon. For every episode, the creator will add that new content to the already existing map, so in the end, it even contains a big ocean with several different islands. You will be able to travel from one island to another freely! A whole new plotline for Zelda will “connect” those episodes.
