This was a much better quest than Link's Generic Quest, so you're definitely on the right track now! This quest was pretty fun and I would call this more of a Metroidvania rather than NES-Style, since it definitely felt more like an exploration quest. And that's one thing I really liked this time round, it felt a lot like Umbral Cloud in a way with the overworld and the dungeons connecting each other. The overall flow felt pretty good and the difficulty balance was decent (though a bit too easy in some parts). Screen design was generally quite good and nice, though there were a number of weird design choices and tile errors, but they aren't too bad.
I do feel like the quest felt a bit too linear in some paths and there was a lack of shortcuts in others. You could probably try to connect your overworld up a bit more by having more shortcuts so that I won't have to constantly backtrack a very long way. Also, I would probably use the interior type for the dungeons instead of NES Dungeons. I say this because I found myself getting stuck in walls quite frequently when going from one screen to another because of how Link constantly walks forward 2-3 tiles when entering the screen. This prevents many weird gameplay bugs.
Overall though, this was quite a good effort and you're definitely getting better. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from you. I'd give this one a 3.5/5, which rounds up to a 4. Good job!

Description
So it's finally finished! Took me about three weeks to create, but I think my efforts paid off. Please tell me via PM if anything AT ALL is wrong with this quest. I'll create a topic for this quest in the Custom Quest Discussion subforum, in case anyone wants to discuss Another Land (for whatever reason). Also, if you can, in your reviews, please tell me what your favourite and least favourite areas and dungeons were. I actually tested my quest this time, so hopefully it will have less glitches or whatever. Thanks for playing (or looking at) my quest!
Story
So Link and Zelda were just chilling, and then Ganon came and took Zelda for the nth time that week. Fortunately, like the idiot he is, he forgot to take Link's Triforce. Nice one, Ganon, my dude. Link has to traverse an unnamed land and gather items from dungeons to make his way over to Ganon's lair.
Tips & Cheats
There's 44 Heart Pieces in total, and I made some of them really hard to find, so either be prepared to look around a lot, or just take a look at the Heart Piece guide included with the quest.
