The game does feel like The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakeningish. But I ran into a problem with the shop where you get the items before realizing there is a weapon shop. I think you should have the shop keeper mention to buy the weapon shop before getting the upgrades for the sword. It took all all my money and realized none of the inventory had equipable weapons in my first journey, I had to start over new save file. Also, I ran into a problem with the first dungeon. I did used the key from the room unlocked where it leads to the boss door. I think I had soft locked realizing there is an another locked door at the same first dungeon.
