Just arrived at the Deep Woods. Looks like that's the first dungeon in the distance.
So far it's been great other than the first time you gotta learn to fly. Took awhile to learn how those controls worked.
Combat's awesome. Haven't really had any problems I've read here about not doing the attacks you want and what not. Everything comes out exactly as I intend it to be. I can only guess it has to do with sensor bar positioning!
The difficulty seems fair so far as well. Not too hard, but not too easy either. You gotta time your shield bash's just right or else you're getting hit and you usually lose a full heart too.
