Basing an entire Zelda game in Ganon's castle reminds me of Castlevania SotN, and I love that game.

God that would be amazing.  a Zelda themed Metroidvania game?!

This is interesting. I love hearing these stories from behind the curtain, especially about a timeless game like this and how it developed.
