Zelda 1 is one of my favorite games ever, yet I've struggled to enjoy almost every other Zelda game after it. This game feels like Zelda 1, which is the highest praise I can give.
Beyond that, I love the sword crafting, the exploration, and the combat. Two pieces of feedback I'd give are that it reaaally feels like you should be able to block projectiles by attacking them (maybe a specific sword does it), and that the save-spot circles feel like they should heal you if you step on them again after activating them but they don't.
