Got it today. Mucked about in the editor for about 2 minutes before I realized I had no idea what I would make even if I had the artistic talent to make it. Then I played 'til I got inside the third temple.
Saying that this game is a Zelda clone just isn't enough. It is practically Zelda re-skinned, and made by somebody other than Nintendo. It also steals some ideas from
Ginormo Sword (the whole upgrading your sword's length, width, power, and other aspects). From Software didn't so much as clone Zelda as they did steal it, stuff it into a sack, cover the sack with very pretty 3D 8-Bit graphics, give the sack a giant sword, and slapped a new title on it. Do I care? Hell no, this game is awesome!
Favorite moment so far has to be when I discovered the "From Cave" which had some nice references to Demon's Souls, or the one guy in town telling me that I could "pam eht nepo ot 1L sserP". I also heard a guy mention a town that had a name very similar to Corneria (I forget what the name actually was) but I'm hoping that when I get there I find a guard who's only line is "Welcome to -insert town name here-!".
Oh and if you have a problem with the text, just open up the start menu, go to options, text, and change the size.
Also, every moment that I'm playing it I keep seeing potential for turning it into a Let's Play, which I might do once I finish the game and find that I have a bunch of free time on my hands. The fact that you can take screen shots mid-game thanks to the
in-game menu is another contributing factor.
