I respect this game so much. It is hard as nails, and I will never get patient enough to complete it without outer help. It has a great sense of mystery and uncertainty, one can never be sure if this particular room or item is meaningful or not, or if this path leads to something or exist just for nothing.
I'd rather play an imperfect but very unique game like this one than yet another generic collect-the-triforce dungeon romper.
Don't believe Yeto about the lenght, it will take at least twice more than 2 hours to figure everything out.

For the brave but impatient players like me, hints (spoilers):

I'm not sure if that much has been fixed in the update, or what, but this quest is massively underrated.

While there are tons of red herrings, trolling, and a few screens full of powerful enemies, the quest gives you what you need to deal with all of that. If a path seems to lead to nowhere, your suspicion is very likely right. If something seems unfair, you're probably taking an approach that sets you up for failure. Can't deal with splitting darknuts with a green tunic and 5 hearts? There are sword upgrades and health to be found if you look. The strength of this quest is that it forces you to strategize and explore. The design is also interesting, taking advanteous of subtle quirks of ZC and with a complex main dungeon.

That said, I'm not sure if those screens that take advantage of ZC quirks are intentional or not. Some examples are the block maze leading to the final boss, or in the pit maze leading to the castle map, where the screen transition lets you pass over blocks or makes you pass over a pit respectively. I also get the sence that the quest just wasn't finished, as there are several screens in the 4x5 floor of the castle that are seemingly unreachable. The ending, if you want to call it that, is also very lazy and dissapointing.

I think maybe a lot of people just don't 'get' Yeto's quest. While its not a love it or hate it thing, as I myself merely like it, there is a lot of baseless disdain in the reviews. I've definitely spent 3 hours playing 4.5 star quests that don't deserve as much praise as playing 3 hours of this 1.5 star quest. The recent Tribute to Yeto's Quest is a fuller and better quest in every way, but this original is also pretty good and worth a play.

This is incredible, I've never had so much fun with Zelda Classic (other than tweaking my own quest). This unpolished mess may be the best game in the database, most questmakers have a lot to learn from Yeto, and I'm dead serious.

... I don't give out low-star reviews often (in fact, I try to avoid the quests that warrant low stars)...I hardly play the horrible quests, but I had to know...had to see...I now know...I now see...
If I ever manage to get off my lazy rear and craft a quest, I hope to Nayru that it's better than this...this...I don't even know...Soma is speechless.

Rating is 0. Rating is horrible. Rating is ? What is this? A quest? Where?

It was a weird quest, but i really enjoyed it... found it thanks to a sheikav review. It s a interesting quest, but I think that it is not made for everyone.
