extremely repetitive and pathetically easy. ocarina of time does not have interesting enemies or combat. also game crashes all the time

this is technically the second time fox has used a sword if you think about it.

The premise of this mod is very unique, and it's even more interesting when you that the Ocarina of Time modding scene isn't so popular as the one for Super Mario 64. Having Fox as a playable character doesn't make any sense in here, actually, and it could still be Link and wouldn't affect gameplay at all.

Despite the strange choice the rogue-lite mechanic is very unique and interesting, but it may cause some difficulty problems that happen because of the random position of the enemies. It is also very repetitive, since you only stay in the same place day after day, defeating some similar enemies many times.
Another issue that gets on my nerves is that you come back with only three hearts when you die, making the second attempt way too difficult, since hearts drop very seldomly from enemies.
Summing it all up, interesting concept, with a good enough execution, but with some major flaws that could have been worked on before release.

Pros: interesting concept
Innovative for the modding scene
Fox uses a light saber for the first time

Cons: design issues
Difficulty spikes
Few options for restoring health
Repetitiveness
