Thank you, I did get into contact with him a while ago. Everything is all good!

No, I don’t plan on keeping old sound clips in.

No, I don’t plan to make 2D areas.

For anyone interested what the dialogue was:
"THE ORACLE WILL SAY THAT CAULDRONS ARE FOUND TO CUT LONG JOURNEYS INTO SHORT TRIPS. ASK NO MORE ON THIS SUBJECT."

It wasn't used in the prototype like many other Oracle strings, a leftover from Grunty's Curse, I assume.

The idea is to emulate objectives rather than squeeze them all into the same world space. I think adding new subareas helps create the limitations from the original while also giving a unique spin.

One of the things I want to do is emulate challenges from all versions of the game. That's why Vinyls, Vinyl parts, Memorabilia and Cheato Pages exist. They take up the challenges that would otherwise been scrapped.

*I have a finished Cottage Cliff Farm's OST.
I didn't do anything except network with people and got permission to use their music.

One with just the lighting and glass.
