The platforming is a bit off and as you know the 2nd level has input issues. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Unless I am very much mistaken the Zelda sprites seems to been taken from the real games. Try to make your own graphics next time instead of using copyrighted sprites. This may be a jam entry but it's always better to make your own. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Look forward to your next LD game."},{"author_name":"bvanschooten","author_uid":"14520","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 8:37pm","epoch":1377808320,"text":"Well presented, the minigames are a nice idea.
