Now that this quest has been bug fixed, it is playable at last. The only problem with this quest, despite having a lot of potential with its time travel story, doesn't offer much to the table. My primary gripe besides the lack of design in the overworld are the enemies. Yep, Magic Octoroks are fought as early as Level 1. If you're looking for a quest by the same creator, as mentioned in a couple reviews, try A Link to the Shadows instead. It fixes the problems this quest had, and is enjoyable.
I think I'll give this 2/5 - while it's greatly flawed, it had a lot of potential.

Information
"This is my first quest. I used a dungeon basis for it, and it can get a little hard at times.
Since PZC staff still won't allow tileset submissions, I included the tileset with this."
This was my original description, almost 13 years ago. Fascinating to think of how much has changed.

"This is my first quest. I used a dungeon basis for it, and it can get a little hard at times.

This was my original description, almost 13 years ago. Fascinating to think of how much has changed. (Also, what is a "dungeon basis"?)
Anyway, with a bugfix release to A Link to the Shadows, I figured it might be amusing to bugfix this quest a bit as well.
It's largely the same thing I released in 2003 - except now, slightly less frustrating to play because things actually work and you aren't softlocking at every other turn.
I did make a few minor tweaks - namely, a couple of previously unused areas are now accessible. You can actually get some items now!
I've left the original quest file there for comparison's sake, because I feel it'd be just wrong in this case to get rid of it. Please take note that Timer.qst is not completable, and TIMERFIX.QST is the bugfixed version.
Also, the readme's really good for a laugh. I modified it heavily because it was just too bloated.

Nothing really. Just save Zelda AGAIN!
Tips & Cheats
"If there are any wall bugs, the L4 cheat is 'future'"
Unlike 13 years ago (where I'm pretty sure I just wanted the quest [i]over[i] with), I've actually taken the time to squish all these random bugs. Still, if any persist, I've left the cheat in there. Just let me know, and I'll fix them!

"Warlock for making Newfirst anyway.
DarkDragoonX for making the tileset I used for this
PrettyBoy (PrinceMSC)for making the Revenge2 tileset.(I got some tiles from that.)"
Additional thanks to anyone who's given me advice over the years since I released this, and Rambly for bug testing. You've all been a great help!
