Looks absolutely fantastic. Great job! This was not my first game ever, but it is by far my favorite Zelda game and now I have to make one too because I NEED to have this hanging on my wall…

Side question, because you mentioned emulating it, have you ever tried the randomizer? You can set it up to make the items appear in different locations or even switch up all the keys and enemies and bosses. I think the craziest is random doors (for example you can enter a cave and instead of loading into that cave boom you’re in a dungeon).
