This is also my favorite level, it is also one of the levels that forces you to not follow one of the rules given during the first level of the original.
This level is classified by many as the "make it or break it" level. Not only is it an honor to have my level be dubbed as so, it teaches an important lesson that one could apply to many other tricks later on in future levels.
Nothing compares to the abstract challenge of Link to the Past. Few players spend less than twelve hours on it. Many give up. Many though, persevere, and encouraged by such a strong victory, launch themselves at the later levels.
