Well that's cool. Kinda of a fun redux of the game with elements more inline with the first game. (salesman in the cave). Don't like that the towns are gone though.
Yeah, even if he felt they were uneeded. You can't venture into making Zelda 3D, but just omit whatever you feel wasn't important, lol. Aren't the towns where you earn most, if not all, of your abilities?
