Hmm Link is on the minimap, but the map itself isn't. You still don't know where you're going and where to find the others
No the sword animation looks good (at least that one frame). The magic bars is also nice, don't you ever change that. It is sleek, straight to the point and has no distracting frivolities. Some people try to make the HUD a piece of art, while it is often to distracting.
By the way, will you have multiple levels for the sword or is there just one sword?
