This game was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the dungeon design, it wasn't like a lot of quests nowadays that use recycled maps and have no real originality to it. The conversations between characters was also hilarious, but following TeamUDFs youtube channel for a while now I could only suspect as much. Good job with the game. I look forward to seeing more in the future :D

This was a fantastic quest that, while at its core seems to be a traditional dungeon-based quest, is so much more. The different story paths based on the decisions you make and items you collect makes for a deeper, more enriching experience, and adds much-needed replay value to a Zelda Classic quest. The story is interesting and can take so many unexpected turns throughout. The new items are also clever and used in ingenious ways, with several of them requiring pretty clever thinking. This quest is anything but straightforward, you will have to put your mind to the test a good amount of the time, and explore and remember the clues around the world, mostly in character dialogue. The world and the lore is rich due to this, and thus the world feels like it has more meaning because of this. Light of the Heavens had a similar philosophy, but Eiyuu builds upon it in a much more engaging way.

At times ZC doesn't play nicely entirely with the quest, which is no fault of the creator, but otherwise there's little to detract from the overall experience. I had a blast playing through this quest and discovering its secrets. If you love exploration and subtlety, this quest is for you. I give this five stars, and will definitely be giving this some more playthroughs in the future to discover the rest of its secrets.

I did a blind Let's Play of this quest, with co-commentary by Teamudf himself. As I write this review it's still in the process of being uploaded, but the playlist can be found here if anyone wants to check it out, Team gives some good insight on the quest and you'll see more thoughts by myself: https://www.youtube....hQghZi-2ee7sKW5

Anytime a game designer attempts to deviate far from the norm, they're taking a tremendous risk. Trying something new is dangerous, but if you succeed you've created something truely unique. This quest is completely non-standard in its design and it works amazingly because of it. It tells an interesting story with plenty of secrets to find along the way. There's also multiple endings for those curious enough to try and find all of them. The levels are all very well designed and serve the purpose evident in the intent of their design. Well done.

Very interesting quest that uses a lot of interesting ideas. I see a lot of potential here and I'm sure you're only going to get better in future quests. Good use of the Pure Remembrance tileset as well. I look forward to seeing more from you, and I'm positive others will as well!
