You can only figure out how to slash in one direction, yet you can manage to hop that 800lb mine cart off the tracks and land it back down flawlessly.

So

Classic always had cool adventure segments that took you from point A to point B, really setting itself apart from Zelda and definitely reminiscent of Super Mario RPG.
I remember when you beat the quest at the Ninji fort you would go on a barrel ride. and then there was another barrel ride that took you to Avalon (right?).
and you ride in the canon to get to the place where you got the ratform

The barrel ride from the Ninji Tower brought you to Graal Castle, and the barrel ride from Babord brought you to a cave island that lead to Avalon.

The pirate canon to Nimda is part of the storyline and only happens once. You would need to go there by boat or spaceship after that. Can use a jet ski (horse on water) or swim after you get Zorbi Ring, too.

Yes. The best version of Graal Castle featured all of the above, plus you would find many players riding around on jet skis, especially in the western seas between the mainland and Nimda. The only reason I used to take the boat around is to enjoy the fishing while getting where I wanted to go.
You also would find lots of NPCs which were simply a graphic like a pizza or a pie or a beer, that were scripted in the simplest way in gscript1 to allow the player to pick up, throw, and hide under them like a bush. I would like to see that return.

One of the best adventure games ever made.

I always thought the boat would've been way more fun if it moved on the overworld!

The boat was the best fishing spot!

either way looks great! The whole decelerate part could be good if used the right way, but I don't see a need.

unless you fall off the side into some sort of bottom level where you have to walk back and restart.

There's the idea that we could just have a faster type of minecart later in the game where decelerating would be necessary.

Could be a draisine since you have to control the speed of one yourself.

Lots of progress made, yet still a lot more to do, definitely the biggest quest project I've attempted.
So here's another small teaser:

The previous 2 videos are already quite a big spoiler, so I didn't want to give away much more. It's only really a visible hint that things are still progressing while the quest and everything surrounding it will take a while to complete.
