FIVE STARS
I don't care what any naysayers tell you, stab the hell out of him. He's probably the same Aquamentus that gnawed on the gnarled root dungeon's roots.
Yes that's a Yggdrasil reference. A king has to know these things after all.

Description
The culmination of a year's worth of time and a day's worth of effort, Steveamentus Universe might just be the longest quest in the database! It's the quest that keeps giving long after you've had enough. Two rooms, endless adventure!
- 1 unforgettable dungon!
- 2 screens full of one navigation based puzzle and a bloodthirsty foe!
- A deep, soul-probing story with several shocking twists.
Story
Ever since he was a small child, Steve has lived only for one ambition - to seek out and slay the Beast. Waking to find himself in the Beast's lair, he must journey through a perplexing couple of rooms to at last fulfill his destiny. But his course is not as easy as it seems, and along the way he must wrestle with probing questions of identity and the nature of life. In the end, is his foe truly the Beast, or himself?
Tips & Cheats
The Beast's 3-way fireball attack may seem tricky at a glance, but if you keep your distance and attack with sword beams, you can stay fairly safe. If you take damage you'll have to be more creative - approach with care and watch its movements to avoid colliding with it to take it down. Its vulnerable point is its head!

So I have my own theory, or interpretation of this quest:
A woman did "the do" with a beast (Aquamentus in this case), and it created a child. Because this child came from a human, and a beast, this child ended up being half human, half beast. While his flesh and what he looked like was like a regular human, not necessarily his DNA. As Steve (the child) grows up, he has this gut and subconscious feeling of wanting to slay "the beast." The question is, why would he want to if he knows nothing of one? The answer is, well, he is the beast. He wants to slay himself. He subconsciously keeps switching from being a beast and being a human. Steve said he would get bored as acting as the knight when he would play, so he would start acting as the beast. He said when he knight would slay him, he would feel the pain that the beast had, even though he was just "acting." It's human instinct to want to kill something that could harm our own lives, so that's why he feels as if he's a knight. But as I've stated, he has the DNA of a beast, so he also has the instinct on wanting to have the feeling and taste of blood in his mouth.
To sum it up, Steve is the beast and the knight, he has DNA of both. Subconsciously he keeps switching from the beast to the knight, creating this endless loop of wanting to kill himself without truly realizing. And as he gets stuck in the coma, the loop keeps going. And deep inside his subconscious he knows, if the beast is killed, then his human self is killed.
That's my theory and interpretation of it. I'm not for sure if it's true, but if you go back through the quest, there are dialogue that can back certain things up (Like the beast and the woman doing the do). While it was repetitive, I did enjoy it. It was an interesting story, and I enjoyed trying to figure it out. Some people say it's a joke quest, but to be honest, I don't think it is, I think it's another beautiful work of art in Zelda Classic. I feel like it's another perfect example of the quote, "A picture is worth a thousand words". This picture is really bland on the outside, but if you really observe, think and comprehend, it has such a deep and beautiful meaning. I really did enjoy playing! Thanks Aevin!

A quest that makes me want to play and get a high score despite looping is a good quest in my books.
A good philosophical story that is weird in some places makes this game more fun. Any game that can make a 2 room game where you fight Aqumentus actually fun is a masterpiece. 5/5
It also shows how easy Aquamentus is and why it should be removed from level 7 as the boss. Invent a time machine or something, it has to be done.

Reading over the quest's dialogue it seems implied that Steve's mother is a human and his father is an Aquamentus making Steve half-Aquamentus half-human (don't know how that would work but half-dragons exist so who am I to judge). If my theory is correct then this seems like a constant struggle between Steve's human half and his Aquamentus half while he's stuck in a constant coma which he never wakes up from.
