Overview
Here's my first demo. I tried to catch most bugs but there's probably still a couple lurking about. Let me know what you think!

This demo has the first four dungeons available.

Edit: Gah, found a bug. Do not use the checkpoint in the purple area (Deep Caverns). You'll get stuck.

This was an enjoyable quest and I may revisit it sometime. The ideas were great, but I feel they weren't executed the best. The over world is nice, but felt a little repetitive. It's a good quest, so I rate it a 3.

What the! Are you the new scripting god, grayswandir?
I absolutely love this demo, you must finish this quest. 'Following'

Good:
- The enemies!! Finally they became clever. Loved the new peahat, octorocts, zoras and well basically every one!
- The items!! Those bow and arrows are really cool.
- Pots with predefined items.
- Moving platforms.
- The water shrine was very nice and the boss is cool but too hard for me too beat. (i know how he works but its hard)
- The graphics and the screen design is nice.
- Big hearts and magic in subscreen.
- Auto magic refill after some waiting.
- Very good use of scripts and really cool ones.
- Item pickup messages and overall very informative and descriptive in-game.

What to improve:
- The rupee pickup sound effect!! Please you must do something about it, I hate this gameboy one it feels so empty.
- The "!" sound effect of the enemies is annoying and could be a better one.
- Can barely hear the midis.
- A pot breaking sound effect would be nice. (yeah, even though this quest is scripted like hell, it needs yet more)
- More story maybe?
- It feels a bit linear also.

The pros outweight the contras by far, because of the enemies, so you get 5 stars!

Judging from the screenshots, it looks like it's gonna be a challenging quest when it's complete. I'll be curious to see how the finished project looks. I like the concept.

It'd be nice to tell us where the demo ended, bro.

Anyway, I'm just got the wind gem so far, and I've gotta say, this is some good shit here. The variety of weapons is very cool for sure.
