I thought this quest was really good!!
It looks great! Strong ALTTP vibes which, for me, will always remain top tier. The overworld and dungeons looked rich and detailed, an I really appreciated the thoughtful color palates on everything. I loved they were exaggerated and bumped up a notch in vibrancy. The overall gameplay was also solid and enjoyable.
This was definitely a dungeon-centric quest. They were all really well thought out and fun without being too difficult or frustrating. If I'm splitting hairs I did miss the more detailed map on the items menu, but again the dungeons had a good flow and directed you through them well so I didn't get stuck too much without it.
I did wish there were a bit more mini quests/ puzzles in the overworld to balance out the amount of time spent in the dungeons.
I also wished the story had a little more depth and dialogue. I think it would have made the quest a little more epic.
Other than that I thought it was a really well done and fun quest. Thanks so much for making it!

CHANGELOG:
Spoiler
- The circular light effect should work properly in newer versions of ZC now.
- Replaced broken version of quest where pits didn't work. Oops.
- Updated most environment palettes to be a bit more saturated and varied.
- Old pit script restored.
Quest 744 is a Link-to-the-Past-esque quest with two worlds, 12 dungeons, lots of scripted enemies and mechanics, and an arranged soundtrack of classic Zelda themes. It is of a moderate length, about 8 or 9 hours. The overall feel is much like A Link to the Past and many of the sounds, items, and bosses behave similarly. There is a Magic Mirror, you can leap down from certain ledges, and several Link to the Past enemies such as Ropas, Bari, Popo, and more make an appearance. The dungeon design is also an attempt at duplicating the design philosophy used for Link to the Past's famous dungeons.
The quest has also been designed to be played repeatedly. I would love to see speed runs, green tunic runs, or 3-heart runs of this quest.
I arranged the whole soundtrack, aside from boss theme and the "got a Crystal" jingle being MIDI files. See the disclaimer section above for the download link for said soundtrack. It is quite large -- sorry for those of you with slow connections, but I promise it's worth it!
I put a lot of time and effort into this quest. I hope you enjoy it. 
Story
Ganon has killed the king and princess, and taken over the Golden Land where the Triforce resides. Before they break out of the Golden Land and into the World of Light, 743 heroes were sent to stop him. They have not been heard from again.
A young teen named Link is the 744th hero to be sent. Will he be successful?
So basically there's not much story. Collect pendants, get the Master Sword, and then get eight (not seven) crystals.

Tips & Cheats
- Don't just blindly use the sword on everything; it will make the quest much harder than it needs to be. Try using other items, such as bombs, the hookshot, or the boomerang on enemies who seem resistant to the sword!
- You'll have to think a little differently about getting to some areas in this quest. Remember both the overworld layouts! Some areas can only be accessed using a hidden item.
- Sometimes, a room is just a room. Maybe there's nothing in it...

I wanted to play this quest because I saw it on Youtube and it reminded me of LTTP. But when I played it just now, I saw that there is a room with a block puzzle in the first dungeon. After you kill the darknut, you are supposed to push a block onto a switch and the videos shows where the switch is located when you destroy the pots. But in the latest version, the switch no longer exists, leaving you stuck in the dungeon. Until this gets fixed, I'm giving this quest a 0/10 as the quest is impossible to complete.

I honestly really enjoyed this quest. Nothing really frustrated me during my whole playthrough. The dungeons have a pretty solid design and have a nice difficulty, the overworld was pretty good, the custom bosses and regular enemies were pretty neat, the remixed soundtrack is pretty great and it's overall a pretty solid quest.
I give it a 4.5 rounded into a 5. I guess i could criticize it for being a little too standard, but since it's an homage to ALLTP, i'm not going to be hard on it for that. But i understand why someone would be bothered by that.

So this is a thing.
I decided to try this Quest out for my first actual playthrough of a Zelda Classic Quest because it was based off ALttP. I am mildly familiar with that game and figured if this were the same, I'd be pretty happy. I am glad to say this isn't the same, and is far superior. Now, I am not very familiar with ZC stuff, nor am I familiar with ZC stuff, so a lot of the things others here may catch will go over my head.
As for the quest itself, I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially for someone just starting into ZC, as in it's current build it eases you into it pretty well. Gets you going with some very basic dungeons and doesn't do too much that leaves the player wondering what they're supposed to do. Overall a very straightforward adventure, and that's a good thing. The one downside to it was that it didn't feel like exploring got you too much. When I was able to go over the dark overworld more, I figured I would find Heart Pieces everywhere. But nope. Not even very many hidden little ruppee caves either. So that was the most disappointing aspect of the entire quest for me. I love me some Metroid, and one thing I always harp on in Metroid is secrets. Always secrets.
Again though, I still thoroughly enjoy it, and thanks to diving into a RAVE PARTY dungeon I got to experience some items that make one quite overpowered. And the overall straightforward approach to the quest made it easy for a scrub to get started. So I would definitely give my recommendation to it. Won't hurt your brain with block puzzles, has a rad rave party, and it isn't frustrating.

On the part where the lone Darknut is located at (before I would eventually beat it) at the 1st dungeon, I tried to push the one block to the area that supposed to have a switch, but somehow it doesn't appear. Otherwise, the door would have opened by then. Any thoughts? Unless it's a bug.
P.S.: It was on this variation called "Quest 744: Legacy Edition".

In addition to the below problem (which can be fixed by going into the quest editor yourself), later dungeons are *also* unfinishable due to missing entire entrances. Fixing a single door is easy enough, though already isn't something the player should do. Fixing multiple warps? Yeah, no. As of right now, this quest is unfinishable.
EDIT:
Never mind. The above is still an issue, but it's a compatability issue. You *must* use ZC Version 2.53 in order to play this Quest, period.

For some reason, I seem to be able to walk right across pits no problem. Unfortunately, this also means I can't fall into holes or fall from higher floors in caves and dungeons. This will probably be a gamebreaker at higher levels. I am running 2.53.0
Update, aaaand it looks like I can walk over lava just fine too. Can't walk over spikes without injury at least. Walking over slippery ice seems to also be working as intended. Looks like I can't get the items in Level 3 since apparently I have to fall down from a higher floor and can't.
