Thank you! I'm grateful you enjoyed it so much!
It's funny, I had considered the same thing when designing the stages and even had the thought a few times-- "this is gonna confuse the OG Zelda players like me..." hahaha! I assure you there aren't any secrets hidden in this build of AoZ, but that won't stop me from trying to get a few tucked away in the future! And I'm so glad you like presentation-- props to Savestate, his tracks turned out perfect for what I needed!
I definitely wanted to make it harder, though my focus was ensuring everything would be seen-- much like the potential for secrets, any future builds will definitely ramp up the difficulty.
Thanks for playing my game!
