The Sword of Hope is a fairly large and dense game for a Game Boy release of this vintage, and this particular video ended up being possibly the most intricate Game Boy World episode to date. Hopefully the end results were worth the wait! Turns out The Sword of Hope is a pretty neat little RPG — no masterpiece or anything, but decent (and distinctive) all the same. This is the sort of obscurity Game Boy World exists to bring to light, really.
