I want to find beginner friendly tutorial on how to make the classic top-down The Legend of Zelda using GameMaker Studio. I know some basic coding stuff but I still would like to have a beginner friendly tutorial so that I can keep up with it.

I've seen that tutorial and didn't really help. I was looking for a tutorial where they teach you how to do the game and teaches the coding for it. Like how to make a level with proper collision coding tutorial.

I find it hard to believe that all the tutorials for or from Gamemaker doesn't teach you those things. I'm thinking you haven't gone through enough tutorials yet.
To put it a different way. Maybe you should go through some of the beginning tutorials first and work your way up to the Zelda tutorial. You seem to be jumping too far ahead without knowing the basics. Or at least the fundamentals needed to make a Zelda in Gamemaker.

Beginner in Game Development?  Read here. And read here.

all i can suggest is keep googling. i'm a direct X user myself, and have no personal experience with the game maker engine.

GameMaker uses its own language called Game Maker Language (GML).

I don't mean to be rude, but please do a tiny bit of searching before asking a question. I could copy and paste your answer into Google and get an answer in shorter time than you'd wait for someone else to reply. Learning how to do your own research is very important.

Hello to all my stalkers.

I wrote up this quick recipe. Maybe it helps. It has kind of a loop structure so you'll do a lot of tutorials before you start https://github.com/hhirsch/quick_gamedev

Needs improvement and feedback is welcome (issues and PRs).

I don't think the 4th point "If you know everything you need to know for your first project go to 5 else go back to 1." will ever work. People believe they can make a MMORPG or zelda, or super kart or ... today. So how are they going to decide they don't know enough?
