I would have to say no to the requirement to being able to beat the 3rd quest, primarily because of how crazy it is. While the difficulty should still be there (I somehow specialise in crazy difficulty. Anyone who played my old Platinum and Diamond quests can tell you how!), but having to beat the 3rd shouldn't be a requirement.
I agree to many of the other restrictions, including the starting screen one. Swordless is fun for a while, but then it gets old.
Also, can we edit existing enemies and items (so long it is reasonable). If so, then anyone who actually played Zelda's Last Wish will know exactly what I am going to do to the Lynels
