Yeah no problem. Its definately very difficult. I remember getting it when I was younger and me and my brother would get so lost and perhaps get to some hard areas before I was ready. But I rented it at least 5 times because it was so fun and challenging.

It was mostly the icon sheets i saw that reminded me. The Oasis games were awesome and yeah I agree, I want badly to see a larger protagonist. Have you ever played Herc's Adventures? That was an amazing game. Great art and a prime example of taking the top down style and twisting it with a ton of originality..

If anything I'd compare the art to Beyond Oasis/Legend of oasis. I think the art is well done and much better though in Midora. Looking forward to this project :)  Edit: I did look at that Minish zelda and I can definately see the similarities in the trees mainly. Never played the game though.
