Super fun! An extremely well done quest. It has all the quality of life upgrades the original Z1 doesn't have. It feels modern and is reallly smooth.

I liked the moderate difficulty and the zippy gameplay. It gave the quest great pacing and momentum. It kept the party rolling without too many "stuck" spots.

I also liked all the weapons, items and upgrades. I'm usually annoyed by the 'find the sword' schtik, but the magic cane proved to be an awesome new addition that got more fun as it progressed.

Thanks so much for the quest!

Just recently finished this. Fun quest. Must say I didn't know that by picking the candle that I wouldn't even be able to purchase a large shield at a shop, or have one until the last level. Also the dungeon entrance in the graveyard I had to look up the location to because there was a doorway already open on that screen and there was no precedent set for more than one doorway or secret opening on the same screen. In some dungeon rooms, the key would be there upon entrance without having to kill anything. Don't know if this was intentional or you just forgot to check the enemies-item box in the screen data. Speaking of keys, I'm not a fan of putting keys in item cellars, or of rooms where after you kill everything, nothing happens. Have a door open or give me a rupee... or something. Also not a fan of the kind of passages that take you back to the beginning without warning or clue like in L9. However despite what others may think, I am a fan of hiding the dungeon map behind a locked door or two. After all, it is a valuable item, and as long as the dungeon layout isn't too convoluted it should be a bit difficult to aquire.
But overall a good time. Hope you make another one sooner or later, Mani.

Hey I completed this quest, and I think I got everything too, unless there's some big secret I missed

It's a very good NES style quest, and I like what the quest maker did to make it more interesting than other quests, such as mixing up the items you get and their importance. It wasn't super difficult but definitely super fun, and I would definitely recommend trying this quest out for yourself.

also something something where's the ladder.

Quest completed 5:34 with 13 deaths. Decent.
I do want to point out some positives and negatives from this quest.
I do like that you intentionally removed certain items from the game, forcing us to rethink how to navigate certain rooms. A breath of fresh air for veterans.
I also like that extra key trick to get into the next level.
I really like the clever use of Zelda 2 sprites in this game. That alone will distance this game from the others.
I did have to get used to the cane being the primary weapon.
Plenty of shops to find. Good.
I liked the music.
It's rare to collect a Triforce piece without facing a boss, but I did.
And now the negatives
I don't like how some dungeon secrets were hidden. The clue regarding some levels have rooms off the map just means wasting bombs trying to find which dungeons have off-map rooms in them. I definitely didn't like that there was no more substantial clues regarding finding a key item needed to reach later levels. If it wasn't for the forum, I probably would have rage-quit. One big solution to this is to create an obstacle to reach the boss. For example, hookshot across a damaged section of the floor to reach the boss which means you have to search the level more thoroughly to find said hookshot within the level.
Big cardinal sin here... NEVER put a map behind a locked door... at least not by itself. You can put another valuable item with it, helpful information, or just connect it to more dungeon to explore.

Overall, a solid submission. Well done.
