This game is so good, i love it. I like switching from Link to Zelda so nicely done.*
The leveling system is nice.
We need more games with the Zelda II feeling, the weather system and also Day/Night system is neat.
The problem, i feel all the many options at the start of the game can be too confusing and should not be thrown directly at the player before you even start up the game.
The other problem, you should NOT Start without a sword cause you are just going to die a-lot trying to run around, -just to try and find it if you're lucky.
That type of game play frustrates a new player.
>That should be a Harder mode setting Option, i think at the start of the game.
How can you know what you want before you even ever first played the game?

I've been wanting to write a review for this for a looong time now, but I haven't been able to scrounge together the right words to describe my feelings towards it, especially not in a way that wouldn't reiterate what other people have already said.
So I'll just say it's good. It's real damn good. One of the best quests to ever have come out, and certainly the best of the last 5 years or so.

Alright, I've already spewed out so much high praise on the forums about this, so I might as well just repeat myself in proper reviewish form.
This is truly a masterpiece of a Zelda Classic quest. It combines the gameplay styles of both The Hyrule Fantasy and Adventure of Link beautifully, and fixes the platforming problems the latter had. There's so much effort put into this gem. There's a ton of items to collect, harkening from many titles of the series- secret seashells, hookshots, tunics, spells, and so on. The story is the one from the Valiant Comics, which I'd read before and enjoyed (it wasn't as cringey as the cartoon or cd-i games!), but expanded and reworked into game format. It's a real tribute to the "American" Zelda lore, with location names stemming from the various stories (the comic and its author, and some of the writers of the cartoon). And it doesn't feel out of place at all. If Nintendo of America did more than just localizations, I feel like that this is the kind of Zelda game they would make. It feels like a real sequel, a true Zelda game. While it may not be the 3 Party Member RPG Miyamoto wanted as "Zelda 3", it does have two playable characters with unique items and abilities, and to me, that's close enough. Highly recommend this quest to anyone who wants to play a fanmade Zelda game and comes across Zelda Classic. It's the most engaging and enjoyable quest out there imo, topping everything else I've tried. I don't think any other quests will have me as invested as I was into this one, though. It's sad as there are a lot of great quests I've tried and have been trying to get through, but I'm happy that I found something so amazing that it feels like a real Nintendo-made Zelda game.
Other things of note: had a couple bugs here and there, and the other modes are weird and goofy, plus there's a lot of non-Zelda music in it to choose from for dungeons. But you know what? It doesn't bother me enough to change my feelings about the quest. It still feels like a real Zelda game to me. To me, this will be a real Zelda III. And for that, I applaud you, Mitsukara. Thank you so much for this amazing game.
