"hmm what if i removed everything in a level except for the sprites and made the level around them" is what I asked myself one day, before deciding to do a whole hack about that for some reason.
-The name is pretty self-explanatory: Levels built around the sprites already in them.
-There have been some minor-ish changes to spice things up, also, and the star world & special world levels are completely original.
-This hack's aimed at people that are new to SMW hacks or haven't played any, so it starts out pretty simple, but ramps up, with the post-game being much harder.
-There's 92 exits

As everyone knows, ALttP enforces a very linear order of the dungeons (at least until you’ve played a large part of the game). This minimizes the exploration aspect to a large extend.

In fact, the author very much aimed at the changes being completely unnoticeable if not invisible.
Obviously, it would not make sense to allow access to everything at any time. There are a few necessary “sync points” for the story: Link needs all pendants to get the Master Sword, to fight Aghanim, to transfer to the Dark World. Link needs all crystals to access Ganon’s tower. Etc. Thus the goal is to allow an “as arbitrary as possible” order for getting the crystals and pendants, respectively.
