As a learning project to build this style of game it looks great. I think a Nintendo C&D may be likely given how protective they are of their IP. Even if there's no download of it, Lloyd definitely benefited from the buzz around the "Zelda" name being included.
A Link to the Past is my all time favorite Zelda game, though it might be more nolstagia than anything else. The 3DS followup definitely scratched the same itch, much more so than the Link's Awakening remake (the view is just...off, not sure how to explain it). While I definitely enjoy Zelda games, I think my favorite Action RPG is Bloodborne - it's much faster paced than Dark Souls and encourages/forces the player to be more agressive than using the shield often (something that took me a while to get into, but once it clicked, it was a lot of fun).
I know what you mean about how protective Nintendo is. I have watched them shut down projects quickly, let others get near completion, and all forms in between over the years.
Sadly, they are probably too protective. I know even making videos with predominently Nintendo published games on YouTube will result in Nintendo copyright claiming and taking at least part of the revenue earned from the video.
I need to check out Bloodborne. I agree with you about A Link to the Past, that was an amazing title. I grabbed a used 3DS and a copy of that 3DS follow up Nintendo released (I picked it up for $5 new at Walmart - grabbed 2 extra copies of the 8 they had in stock and flipped those on eBay, paying for the 3DS I bought).
It looks pretty good, although I admit that some things look a little weird to me. Still, it's cool to see how they do this stuff.
As I mentioned already, Nintendo has a knack for shutting these projects down late in development.
It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the video haha, the reputation Nintendo has for suing or shutting down almost anything related to them. Hopefully nothing happens to the guy, although by not distributing it in any way, I think he's protecting himself well from Nintendo.
It does have a slight edge of "odd" to the visuals, doesn't it? Hard to pinpoint but it is there.
I agree, I hope Nintendo doesn't kill this one. You may be right about their not planning on distributing this being a good thing in their favor. It might help them stating this clearly as well, and that this is just a learning experience for them to build off of for their own game.

We can hope.
