It's a pretty good quest.. Only thing is, at the beginning of the game,
you could probably very simply hide the teleporting FFC blue girl that follows Link around with an Overlayer atop her to hide her sprites on all the
screens when she teleports onto link to follow him with whatever script you were using in the first scenes of the game.
My eyes are quick and i noticed this simply.
Anyways, That's what i would do to hide that problem.
But besides that issue.., (you made the Leevers too fast in the desert near the gerudo castle..) x_x

Description
The whole world is locked in one of four times of day and it is up to you to journey from one area to another to get time moving again and defeat those responsible for this. Each time of day has different tasks to be performed. More freedom of movement is permitted, though ultimately your course is restricted by the need to collect all of the major items.
- 15 dungeons, including a massive 5-floor final dungeon that requires shifting through time in order to reach the end.
- All bosses and mini-bosses are fully scripted, including 14 enemies unique to this quest.
- A complex overworld, requiring constantly shifting times of day to reach all areas and secrets.
- Extensive sidequests, including a lengthy trading game, a hunt for Gold Skulltulas and the extermination of rare Golden Monsters.
- Two alternate endings, depending on how many optional tasks you complete.
- Over 20 other scripted effects, including a working Minecart, Guards and unique puzzles.

Tips & Cheats

Just finished this yesterday and I found everything except for 1 piece of heart.
When I first started, I was really impressed and enjoyed the quest, but by the end, things got extremely repetitive. The final boss fight was creative and left me with a somewhat more positive impression while watching the credits. My official rating is 3.3/5, but since we can't do half-stars and I can see the work you put into this quest, I'll round it up to a 4.
Spoiler
What I liked:
What I liked:
- The whole 4 times a day concept was really nice although not perfect because whenever coming out of caves and dungeons, there was always that 1-2 seconds of trying to adjust to the correct time
- The music choices for the dungeons
- The scripted bosses although some were simple to beat by sniping at them with sword beams from a corner
- All of the collectibles: 50 skulltullas, the blue chests/blue keys, pieces of heart, golden monsters, and the trading sequence
- The puzzles... the first 3 times for each
- The Temple of Time
- The Vaati battle
- The maps in the dungeons were basically useless although the shapes of the dungeons were pretty creative. Yes, you enabled the mapping feature which allows the player to look at a snapshot of every room, but that doesn't help when portals, stairs, and even some doorways go to random spots on the map with no way to tell how you get from point A to point B. This made Turtle Rock particularly frustrating.
- The dungeon designs grew to be repetitive. Progress. Find a locked door. Backtrack for a key. Unlock the door. Progress. Find a locked door. Backtrack for a key Unlock the door... etc, etc, etc.
- Some REALLY frustrating moments that almost caused me to stop altogether:
- - Frustrating moment #1: Finding Level 2. The information given after Level 1 hints towards south of Hyrule Castle. Imagine my surprise when I followed those instructions and wound up in Level 3. Then realizing that I needed the Bow & Arrow to progress, I ended up tapping almost every single wall in the beginning rooms of Level 3, thinking that the Bow was in there somewhere (thank goodness I had found the spin attack in one of the blue chests). It wasn't until I went over every screen of the overworld that I could reach that I discovered that the posts at the end of the bridge at the beginning retract at night. To be fair, you did have the sign that said something along the lines of "the bridge can be crossed only at night" and you did show it during the opening scenes, but you couldn't get to the sign to read it again unless it was night. Additionally, whenever I saw the posts raised, I thought that I wouldn't be able to cross the bridge until I had the hammer. Suggestion #1: Duplicate the sign and put it on both sides of the bridge. Suggestion #2: Have someone/something hint towards the beginning bridge because honestly that was the last place I checked...
- - Frustrating moment #2: Finding the magic boomerang. By the time I had found the regular boomerang in Level 6, I had found Level 7. I spent a minute trying to find a spot where I could maybe hit the first boomerang switch in Level 7. I knew in the back of my mind that I needed the magic boomerang's longer reach, but I had no idea where it could be so I went back to searching every screen reachable on the overworld (which was about 4-5 times larger than searching for Level 2) in all the time periods until I discovered that the vines in the graveyard retracted at twilight. When I first encountered those vines, I thought I could burn or even bomb them - there was no hint that I could find that told me they would retract at twilight.
- The puzzles after the 3rd time for each. I really like logic puzzles so when I ran into the first logic puzzle, I stopped and figured it out before slashing the switches. After the 5th one, I grew tired and I discovered that I didn't need to read the hints and could guess the order. The block puzzles grew to be repetitive but were quickly solvable; the path puzzles... ugggh, the path puzzles... you couldn't skip them, you couldn't memorize the order, and they weren't quick. I enjoyed the first 3 path puzzles but as I encountered path puzzle after path puzzle, I found myself groaning audibly.
When I first started, I was really impressed and enjoyed the quest, but by the end, things got extremely repetitive. The final boss fight was creative and left me with a somewhat more positive impression while watching the credits. My official rating is 3.3/5, but since we can't do half-stars and I can see the work you put into this quest, I'll round it up to a 4.

I originally played through this quest around when it first came out. I see that the quest has been polished up quite a bit since then so decided to replay.
I'm a big fan of the time-of-day gimmick and found it fun to find the Schrodinger's items that appear at certain times of day. Its really impressive how well executed the scripting is in this department. I recall there were some issues with this, including wierd continue bugs and the possibility of game breaking bugs with regard to the time system in the early version of the quest, so good job getting those things sorted.
While the time-of-day system and thusly complex and nuanced overworld are strong, the dungeon design is not. I hesitate to call it bad, because the last three dungeons, and especially the temple of time are a complete 180 from all the prior ones. That said, I feel the dungeon design up to those last three was very mediocre. Basically, the dungeons are nothing but blocks of 3-5 rooms that one must sort through to find a key, and then progress through a locked door to repeat this cycle of 3-5 rooms over and over. There is no cohesive flow or need for strategy, which almost makes these dungeons tedious. The creator obviously has talent in dungeon design as can be seen in the last 3 dungeons, which makes the design of all the prior dungeons puzzling. Maybe this is meant to keep in spirit with Balance of Nature, whose dungeons also were made like this and for which quest this one is a sequal.
The difficulty is average-easy, so even though there are tons of things to explore for on the overworld, the quest advances quickly. Even the optional sidequest for the golden beasts seemed pretty underwhelming in terms of challenge. To this end, I found that the item I won for finding all the gold skulltulas turned the difficulty down to ridiculously easy and was pretty much game breaking for that reason.

The dungeons in this game is the same. There is no difference in the dungeons apart from the colour, enemies and length.
The overworld is alright but seems boxed and some screen don't have a lot of detail.
Good try, good concept.
Sorry but a 2/5
