As someone who's beaten both the inspiration and the level, this is a fair representation of the original dungeon. I really like some of the gimmicks and designs that this level has, as they aren't obnoxious, but not subtle either.

Forest Temple carries itself with a real optimistic elegance that makes it easy to get immersed in, and tight, sharp gameplay (the best of Michigun's solo career) combined with just a pinch of decorative flair makes for a delightful classic even if a few of the temple tropes are overstaying their welcome a little bit.
