So far I am quite impressed with what I've seen in this quest, though to me it's feel compared to Hero Of Dreams is like comparing Ocarina of Time to Majora's Mask. Ocarina feels very massive and epic and filled with storyline to some extent much like HoD, while this quest feels like Majora's Mask in that they feel more contained and it involves solving puzzles more to proceed rather than just not knowing where to go in some cases in what feels like a massive world map. As far as it being in German, I found a way to deal with that, lol. I used Google's translation engine to roughly translate text in the Goron Caves, the first place I briefly got stuck, from the King of the Gorons, the Goron shop keeper, and the Goron that tells you about the history of the Light Temple (Level Four). This clued me in to the necessity to feed the Goron King the bait in order to proceed, and also told me of the history of the temple, which apparently was inhabited by a powerful sorcerer, but he was destroyed by his power and his greed. The temple was cursed, which somehow prevents it from collasping in upon itself; this curse was also what claimed the life of a nobleman from a neighboring land called Asgara who sought to restore the temple and live within it's walls. The Gorons as a result sealed the temple but lost the key, and hope no one ever finds it so no one else is claimed by the temple. Incidentally, that key is south of the Goron that relates this story to you; just blow out the wall with your bombs to find it for anyone who doesn't know at this point. All one would have to do to translate this quest would be to use the Google engine to translate the quest as one played though it; though it would be tedious it would allow one to get a rough idea of the quest's storyline and also allow you to solve some of the quest's puzzles a little easier. I am currently about halfway through Level Seven; I suspected there might be a second entrance based on the map layout, but that was confirmed by a post I read on here. I also ran into the quote "infamous" Level Six bug which hindered my ability to finish the dungeon but hopefully the update I grabbed will solve this glitch. All in all though, a good job on this quest, Mudvayne, and don't worry about people finding bugs in your quests. When you put together something on this scale it can be quite easy to miss things, especially when you don't have a team of professional beta testers like the big programming firms to catch them, and I've even seen mistakes from the big boys, so it's all good.....
