In Bottle Grotto (# 2) where you first encounter the Shy Guy (masked enemy) I noted an issue where they do not properly mimic Link's movement with sword drawn.
In the original game, if you held out your sword and moved different cardinal directions, the Shy Guy's face would not change directions. This allowed you to attack the weak point behind Shy Guy by moving behind him and releasing the sword for with a spin attack.
In this DX HD port, the Shy Guy will continue facing in whatever direction input is pressed regardless if sword is drawn and held out or not. The original intent of the Shy Guy's movement pattern was such that his face would always face the same direction as Link's from an opposite vantage. Link's face does not change directions while the sword is drawn and held out while moving around, so having the Shy Guy face different directions from Link while sword is drawn seems to break the original intent of this enemy.
