This game is quite interesting and different. Before I go any further, this review contains spoilers.
The goal of the creator is to make a quest that makes you use your head and not your fighting prowess. I consider myself to be one of the most skilled (In terms of fighting prowess) Zelda Classic players on this website. With that said, yes the author did accomplish his goal in making you use your head in battle. You can not survive with skilled fighting alone in this quest.
So, what kind of examples do I need to use my head over my strength. Well ... you don't get your sword until level 2. In level 1, you must use mirrors and your small shield (Dungeon Item) to reflect rocks back at enemies. You fight blue wizzrobes and a mirror robes with mirrors that you must arrange yourself in level 1. That is pretty cool. In Goomba Valley, you must avoid goombas that are hyper aggressive and one shot you. Some of the ways you must avoid them are quite clever. In level 3, you must fight a death knight without any tool to stun him and without a beam sword. Pretty much you fight enemies WAY out of your league and the rooms are designed in a way where you can defeat them. Very good job.
There are some things about this quest that I don't agree with. One of the puzzles in level 2 are works a little differently than the other puzzles and, unless you can spot the difference right away, you will be dying a lot at that part. Not knowing where to refill bombs can be a little annoying at first. I didn't care for the way the bombuchu room was set up in level 2 (Requires a lot of waiting). Some of the puzzles through out the game, while easy after knowing the solution, required some close attention to detail. One of them requires you to look up Morse code.
I really want to see this game finished. I give it a 4/5 for now.
