Very impressive. The controls were smooth as hell, very nice job. I found it a bit repetitive but the ambience was quite enjoyable. Good job !

So well done. Agreed that something about this feels ridiculously smooth, possibly the most satisfying movement I've experience in this jam so far. The bobbing around while moving is nice, and the subtle shadow and classic Zelda 1 art reminds me of that Breath of the Wild Zelda 1 tech demo Nintendo made. The music is excellent and very appropriate for the experience. I think I played 8 rounds before I decided to stop. I like how simple the controls are, that the rooms are randomized, and I think with some sort of "goal" state, this could be a great little mobile game. Excellent work.

The only thing I was wishing there was while I was playing was perhaps some sort of "proximity sensor" that would prevent arrows from appearing too close to Zelda. I often got taken out by an arrow that appeared pretty much right next to me.

Very creative! I like how the story changes for every run. Kinda wish there was an ending where Zelda escapes

I can't believe it's not PacMan! A super fun take on the Zelda series and definitely one of the most fun games I've played yet! Love the animation, kudos to the artist!

I loved the game. So enjoyable to fool Link in corners.

One note, with arrows coming from edges of the screen sometimes you've got hit by arrow that you didn't even see yet.

This game was really fun to play! I enjoyed every moment while playing it.

The game did lagg for a second or two when the first arrow spawned, after that no lagg spikes when more spawned.

Both the concept and writing was really funny in this game! It was a creative spin on the theme, and the controls felt really smooth. Very good submission overall :D
