Fun concept! I really liked that you used custom music that fit well to the setting!

Neat concept with the combatless/puzzle only design! Even though they were all maze rooms, the way each one is presented makes them feel unique. On the first run I spent too long on the north puzzle not knowing you can control the direction :S and then I didn't realize you had to go back to actually finish the quest.

Neat idea! I love the kind of puzzles that appear here -- disorienting yet simple and elegant.

I agree with funute that figuring out the motion in the north branch was a little obtuse; I also didn't understand how to find the clue for the west branch (though I'm not very familiar with Zelda conventions). Finally, I ran into two softlocks.

The first resulted from standing here.

The second came about when I used the candle on the final obstacle -- if I stood in the wrong place and missed, I was unable to use it again.

(Also, the gag at the end made me chuckle.)

Interesting insight! I had caught a different softlock and left it in since it had speedrun potential, but I was unaware of that corner. Hopefully that didn’t cost you too much time. As for the candle, I believe that’s how it’s actually supposed to work; you only get one flame per screen, so if you miss you have to exit the screen and re-enter it to try again. It’s annoying, but I think that’s just how it works in the original.

the whistle made me chuckle

wow you really did a lot with this!
