To answer your question Knuckles, I had VERY LITTLE hand in this quest's development. I will say though that Eddy tends to love adding elements of games recently played, hence all the Pokemon stuff as he did Emerald and FireRed versions, the latter with me helping him out. Honestly, I strongly dislike those Shieldrobes. Given their annoyance, they should have been killable in just ONE Master Sword hit, not 3 or whatever it is. Also, had I known he threw in Mobile Breezies, I think I would have been chewing him out over Skype. The most I really did was give Eddy a few ideas here and there, but looking back, this quest, while decent, isn't Eddy's strongest. It's a good quest considering it was his first 2.50 quest (he used 2.10 for everything prior to that, such as Quest of Beings).
Also, Eddy seemed to like a lot of the "ideas" I used. That's why you see all those "Touhou rooms" as I call them. Basically where you're being shot at to the point you can hardly see your character or avoid damage. So you can blame me for all of Eddy's enemy and boss spam, since at the time, he "liked" that about my design choice.
