I liked the style of the game. I bet this could be turned into a nice multiplayer arcade-style game. I really like the interpretation of the them based on the game's name and level names, but I would have liked to see those names represented in the game somehow to really drive home that exception theme. Well done, I enjoyed playing to the end.

This is super fun. I kept dying but kept playing through until the end because the gameplay loop is just that good. I love the look of the game too and the soundtrack is solid as well. There's a ton of potential here and it feels like you could take this a bunch of different places. Great work!
Now I was able to test it, it was just a matter of pressing enter as you said, I played the webgl version.
Your game is really good, seriously, it's great. It's awesome that is your first finished game.
The gameplay it's pretty simple, but that's expected for the scope of a game jam. What I really liked was the effort put on the details. Good SFX, nice animations, enemy life meter for feedback, camera shake for added game feel. Everything combined make it look really polished, even being so simple at the end.
You said in comment before that you not an artist. However, the animations, specially the player attacking (with anticipation, nice) were very good.
The only thing I wish was different is that I would like to be able to walk while attacking, but I can see an argument for the other way, is just my preference to feel that I have more control over the character.
I understand the walking and attacking argument, but 1) I didn't like how the legs would stop moving for the attack animation. I would have had to split the character into at least to parts and I was already behind schedule. And 2) I'm an old school Zelda fan and I usually follow the don't-move-while-attacking style since I'm very used to it.
Thank you for the encouraging comments. It really means a lot.
Great game! Congrats on your first finished project, I’m in the same boat with many unfinished games sitting around. Loved your graphics and music. My only request would be some sort of way to get health back, but I suppose that’s what makes it just difficult enough! I made it to level 6 a few times before the bugs got to me :)
Simple game, the combat feel good, sound are good and overall it's a good little game. But, either I'm noob, or the game is too hard :)))
