I've downloaded the game, stuck it on my Everdrive, and played it on my Gameboy.
Frankly, it's not very good... Don't get me wrong, it's a fine little amateur project, but the game isn't a mod of Link's Awakening, it's an attempt to recode something like Link's Awakening from scratch. In one way, that makes it more impressive, but the controls are very stiff and awkward. Hit detection is basically nonexistent too. It's perhaps unfair of me to judge it compared to a professionally made legend of a game, but I'm forced to when it reuses sprite assets from it. It isn't very fun and feels more like some of the worse games that the angry nerd has reviewed. Right now, I'd recommend not bothering. Perhaps if the developer keeps working on it, it'll become something truly great but not in it's current form.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
