What players say
A good Link to the Past Zelda-like. Good puzzle variety in dungeons, bosses have some interesting abilities with a little challenge without being over the top. Minimal post game content, but a good amount of map to explore with things to find. The tools and combat upgrades you unlock have good variety, but most of them and up being pointless outside of solving their specific puzzle.

Having a good time so far, just finished the first dungeon and I've already got 8 hearts? I would definitely call this an easy game unless things change? Recommend if you can get it for a few bucks and love top down zelda. Complaints? I don't like how the shield works. If I hold down the shield button and swing my sword, the shield will not come back unless I release and repress the shield button. That annoys me...
This is a fairly decent 2D Zelda clone, but it's really lacking some polish, and it shows. It's not a terrible game, but I feel like it currently has a much better rating than it warrants. First of all, the graphics are gorgeous. Nothing to complain about there. Really scratches that Minish Cap GBA itch. The story is okay - it's nothing special, but it doesn't need to be either. Some funny moments. Soundtrack is...
