I haven't made it very far, I've had life getting in the way.
I'm ready to go to level 1, I have the sword, bow, and arrows, as well as a good stock of bombs.
I walked about everywhere it will allow me to go I believe at this point, and the most serious problem I've seen is a few bushes give the wrong colored leaves when slashed.
I wouldn't pay any attention to the ney sayers, like Revfan, which I guess was his usual diatribe, going by the reactions of others, I put him on ignore long ago so I don't know what he's whining about today, but I'm sure it's well worth ignoring like usual.
There are some tight spots, but hey.... I build the same way, let those who like the wide open spaces build their quests their way.
I'm pretty impressed with what I've seen so far.
