Close, the player gets the ladder. In this particular room, the heart cannot be reached no matter which direction the player comes through, save for that left middle platform (which makes it ideal for a bombable wall/secret wall/etc that the player has to research) Also, the stair door can only be reached by the top right door, and the top middle door can only be reached by the bottom right platform. Makes for interesting mazes.
But I do like your idea with the rocs feather, and the template design.
Ahaaa, I see. I have never put the ladder in a quest that was not a remake of the original LoZ, so I unintentionally ruled out the Ladder when I saw the DoR graphics.
It's not that I hate the concept of the Ladder; I just find that it is really buggy in ZC, particularly when used in combination with the Flippers. And I'm not sure how the Ladder responds to walkable water....

i completely agree for me screenshot of the week doesnt have to have link in it its not called "screenshot of the week with enemies and link" now is it Xb
anyways voted for Giggidy very nice screen and i like the feel of it
Well yeah, but the contest also doesn't bother to say "well-designed screens only." Good screenshots show something
happening. Without action, it's not a screenshot so much as a "mock-up."
You're perfectly free to enter every SOTW with nothing more than a tile demo, snapshotted straight from ZQuest. And we're perfectly free to never vote for them.

I am horribly offended and will never forgive you. Ever.
Naw, I'm kidding.
I think it may be that my concept didn't come out the way I had hoped; it's supposed to be a flying temple. Thing is, I wanted to add a little extra to it, so I made it a forest temple as well, hence the overhanging leaves. (Since regular flying temples have been done plenty of times now) The 'fog' are actually clouds to help with the sky feel, but since I felt it would be too obstructive, I decided to make them transparent. (As with the clouds underneath, though I
may have been able to get away with not making it transparent.
Actually, after I had submitted the shot, I started questioning a few things like the torches and the brown vines/roots.
Thanks for being receptive.
Now that I hear what you were going for, I totally understand how you would encounter difficulty.
Might I suggest that you could alter the palette? Minish Cap's sky temple had a different palette for the outdoor areas, even though the outdoor wall graphics were similar (and in some ways identical) to the indoor walls. If you use the Forest Temple palette, which is rather dark, it will look like nighttime. The overworld Cset I included in DoR's Forest Temple palette was primarily intended for showing shrubs and greenery inside the temple, rather than overworld tiles outside of it.
Anyway, keep at it. It's okay to use some overworld tiles inside a dungeon, or some dungeon tiles outside, but there's an art to determining which graphics will look best outside of their normal environment.
