I randomly decided to play a somewhat recent Zelda hack and chose this one. I'm really glad I did. It's a lot of fun without being brutally difficult. Kudos to the CopperMustache for making this awesome hack!

Here are some highlights:

28 minutes - The map was missing a room here.

41 minutes - There are quite a few overworld screens like this one that surprisingly don't allow the use of the ladder.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 20 seconds - That Armos just phased through the rock!

1 hour, 51 minutes - An extra Magical Shield. I'll leave it just in case mine gets eaten.

1 hour, 53 minutes, 50 seconds - This wrong warp took me back to the starting point!

2 hours, 1 minute, 50 seconds - And it got me again for exploring!

2 hours, 19 minutes, 20 seconds - Wait what? I don't think this was intended to be here. And what's with the black square on the right? And don't you usually need 12 heart containers to be able to use this?

2 hours, 24 minutes - I bought the blue "candle" twice because I thought it was the blue potion which turns into a red one if you buy it twice. Rats.

2 hours, 30 minutes, 30 seconds - This dark room actually wasn't dark before!

2 hours, 55 minutes, 30 seconds - I pushed that before! What an odd screen.

2 hours, 57 minutes - Another bizarre screen.

3 hours, 5 minutes - Ha! What a jerk!

3 hours, 30 minutes, 30 seconds - Another Magical "Sword". Really makes me think that the previous one was a mistake, unless it was supposed to be a secret. Funny that the hint about this area is located in the cave that has the first one.

3 hours, 36 minutes, 30 seconds - Why does it make the secret noise here?

3 hours, 41 minutes, 30 seconds - I thought I was softlocked here. Strange.

3 hours, 47 minutes - What caused that door to open?

3 hours, 48 minutes, 20 seconds - I didn't know this was the bait until I went back and looked at the video. Pretty blended in there.

4 hours, 10 minutes, 20 seconds - The Blue Potion that I picked up took the place of the letter. Had to drink the potion in order to be able to hand over the letter! Funny.

4 hours, 27 minutes - Doing the Wizzrobe dance here.

4 hours, 30 minutes, 40 seconds - What did this pushed block reveal?

4 hours, 50 minutes - I was well aware that I didn't have the Silver Arrow so if I heard Ganon's breathing then I was going to turn back. There was no breathing so I assumed it was safe. Welp...there's my first and only death. Oh well.

5 hours, 2 minutes, 30 seconds - I was curious if a picked up Blue Potion turned an existing one into a red one. It does!

So that was it. What a really fun hack. There was one heart container that I missed, and the Magical Key if it exists. I also noticed that the "Grumble Grumble" Goriya was nowhere to be found. Definitely recommend this one. Nice job CopperMustache!
