Good!
Congratulations for your first award dude. Yeah, I think this game can get kinda boring. But for you to make some awesome sequel, I have some advice.
First, the button for getting items, starting conversations, advancing conversations and mainly ENDING conversations should be the same. Every time I got a ruppee I was slamming the a key until I saw I had to press s. Another thing is that you can't swing the sword while walking, unlike zelda. There, link stops when he swings his sword, but you don't need to stop holding the moving button.
This and more things, it will end up just too good.
