Kotaku tore it to shreds, but the author of the article (Michael) was being far too harsh.
"While I'll fully admit that developing a homebrew Zelda side-scrolling adventure title is beyond my technical abilities and that virtually any homebrew activities are admirable, that doesn't mean this... this thing should exist. It's painful to look at and even more abrasive to hear. Equip your mute buttons, dear reader.
The most important thing to remember about this homebrew Legend of Zelda title?
'THIS GAME IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THE QUALITY OF ZELDA GAMES.'
And how! For those of you feeling brave and/or masochistic, the demo is available for download at the developers official site. Consider yourself warned. Michael McWhertor"
I agreed 100%, this is on the level of the CDi zelda games released in the early 90's, I wish the author would take out any reference to the Zelda games and come up with his own characters and theme, but then if he did that, no one would really give a shit about his game. Subtract the Zelda, and this game wouldn't have nearly the attention it is getting.
