Abstract
To contribute to the domain of player experience research, this paper presents a new PCG environment with a relatively wide expressive range that builds upon the iconic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past action-RPG game; it contributes by providing the openly-available Procedural Zelda environment for gaming research. The paper presents the design goals and design context of the research environment, and provides a detailed overview of the procedural capabilities of Procedural Zelda, together with its capabilities for data logging, to benefit, e.g., player modelling investigations.
