What version do you refer to? It looks like you've made some significant adjustments since the original submission. The newer versions are becoming more and more your own unique style. Well done! I don't see anything in there that needs to be taken down, though you should keep updating the tileset here as you make improvements and changes. :)
That makes sense. In that case, I don't really need the specific artwork that inspired you. However, I'd like to know if you can recall using any graphics as a reference, tracing from them or using them as a specific guide instead of simply recalling the style.
This site isn't that fragile. Even a blatantly infringing peice of artwork (which this is not) wouldn't jepoardize anything, though it would be taken down.
@undesired: this does look very much like Legend of Zelda link to the past, but I've taken a very close look at it and I believe it is heavily inspired by LoZ, but not derived from it. The palette is similar, the style is the same, but the shapes and patterns are different. I'm not perfect, so I may have missed something. In that case, it would be really helpful in curation of artwork to see some links, images, or comparisons showing what makes something an infringing work. A terse message with no explanation sends the wrong message.
@unwashedmend: yes, undesired was blunt about the potential for copyright violation. Not without reason, though. There are many many people who think they can rip off the work of another company, change a few things, and post it here as their own work. We ask that everyone be on the lookout for things that will damage this site's reputation for being free, legal, and friendly. This thread is really missing the mark on that last one. Calling someone a jerk is not helpful in any direction, regardless of the reason.
@ChaosWasTaken: This is a very nice tileset, but it does indeed look very close to LoZ graphics. Would you be willing to give some detail on what inspired you? Any images you used as a reference? Be specific. It will really help put the conflict to rest and set some other people at ease since they'd love to use them, but are unsure if they'll get in trouble with nintendo if they do. If there is ever name-calling going on around you, I would urge you not to participate in that. I really do like this tileset and I would prefer you didn't replace/remove the images just yet. :)
The problem was, you requested it be burned to the ground. Your solution was to recreate it. You technically have two very similar submissions, one of which is invisible to all but you and admins.
The answer to your question is "no, don't recreate, let me un-burn it for you" but eh, you beat me to it. I'll let the other one finish destroying itself in a conflagration of hellfire unless you tell me otherwise. :)
the tags "2D" and "Free" are redundant, though. This asset is already in the 2D Art category, and everything on OGA is free. See https://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information.
Since this is licensed CC0, the tags "public", "domain", "royaltee", "free", "creative", "commons", and "open" are all redundant. People can already search for this by license. Tagging this with your handle is also unneccessary since people can just search by the submitter name. See https://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information.

You uploaded the mp3 in the right place for people to download and use. Now it just needs a preview audio file as well. You can upload the same mp3 as the preview, which will allow people to listen to it without having to download it... or you can use a shortened version that just hits the highlights of the song if you want. either way. There is nothing wrong with adding some "album art" as well, but it shouldn't be the first item in the preview files. :)
Also, it could be confusing to use copyrighted artwork as a preview for something with an open license.

Is this a 2d or 3d rpg? Why do you want to avoid pillow shading?

Keep up the good work!

Cool song, by the way.
