For some reason, and I cannot quite put my finger on it, I really like what you have done so far. It may be that I am just a fan of the Zelda series, but the feeling of the game is just... right. I really like the camera control with the mouse, it adds a good level of control and player awareness of your surroundings. I also like the graphics... though they may not be finished, I like the cartoony feel, which is how Zelda should be (especially this title).

Now for what I feel is incomplete, which you make take with a grain of salt, as this is most likely a very early demo. The fact that you have to stop to swing your sword is a drawback, and will hurt you when you actually go up against enemies... its also just annoying . Also, the fact that you can directly walk backwards does not hold true to the Zelda movement style. If you are going for authentic Zelda movement, the player should rotate and, relitavely, be going foreward again.

If you ask me, the one feature that you should impliment that has never before been seen in Zelda is the ability to jump. Weather or not it would work I dont know, but I have always wished you could jump in Zelda.

Anyways, that is what I think at the moment. Good work and thank you for the demo.
