About this game
Nintendo's 1991 SNES Zelda, and the one with two Hyrules in it. The Dark World is the same map gone wrong, and the Magic Mirror drops you back to the matching spot in the Light World. That is the whole puzzle design. A ledge you cannot reach on one side is standable ground on the other, so you cross in the place where the geography agrees with you. Each dungeon hands you the item the next one is built around. None of that needs explaining, which is why it still teaches itself: you learn the trick once and every later puzzle is a harder version of it.
