I think your wrong on that score, various polls in the past have shown that most people have 030's and AGA. Really you shouldn't need more than an A1200 for a zelda clone.

Yeah, I have had a Phase V 50mhz 030 since the 90's and while some people have 68040's and 68060's, they are in the minority.
 
If I was going to spent time writing software I'd want the most people to be able to run it. So I'd be looking to support as slow a machine as possible. Some people are targetting WinUAE users, but that just seems a little pointless.
 
It might not be possible to make it fast enough on an A1200 with just a ram expansion, but indivision 020 & 030 accelerators are the only ones available now.

I am going to be using AmiBlitz 3. I will integrate couple of assembly code into my AmiBlitz project for optimal performance.

This might be of interest to you.

If what you are saying is true than all the games run in Monkey should be ported to the Amiga classic with ease. Also that means the SDL issue for classic Amiga is gone. I want to test this theory out. What I will do is find a very demo source code by Monkey and compile it for Amiga following your LINK. If it compiled for Amiga and ran on Amiga without any problem (especially the classic) then we can port games like Zelda, even MMORPG games then..then this is the gate between modern games and Amiga giving classic Amiga a whole new freshness.

I have to look more into this!
