ok ive played a LOT of the original and heres a few things that ive seen that can use improvements. i just got to tail cave and im sleepy so ima leave this here.
the sword spin feels a tad slow.
you cant use both the shield and sword at the same time,
the atack box of a sword slash feels slightly off, like its not as wide as it used to be.
enemy AI feels a little different, but in a good way its making the game more challennging. (ive had the arrow moblins shoot many arrows in a row on this version)
this is a great start. i cant wait to see the next version.
other then that, you might want to include a read me on the changes like how the game saves cause that has changed. and also what controller protocols are supported.
