Palette and lineart interlinked to theme.
Okay.

Sure, it uses the same palette, but that doesn't matter. ANYTHING can use the palette. I can recolor an lttp Link sprite with the M&L palette, but that wouldn't make it M&L style because it doesn't have the same type of shading and lineart.

Speaking of lineart, M&L has AA. This does not.

Not the same shading, and not the same type of lineart. I fail to see your point aside from the fact that it uses the palette.
