Ittle Dew – Review (PC) | Critical Indie Gamer

Ittle Dew draws its main influences from The Legend Of Zelda series, and makes no effort in hiding the fact that it is parody. Alongside numerous in-jokes and a health system comprised of hearts, it is clear that Ittle is designed to be highly reminiscent of Link (her tomboy appearance a reversal of Link’s feminine looks) and her companion Tippsie serves as a Navi-like guide, though is thankfully far less irritating. The art direction offers a cartoony approach, similar to the Wind Waker era of the Nintendo-owned franchise, and is absolutely gorgeous as a result. The environments and character animations are hand-drawn (giving them that ‘wobbly’ effect) and are very well designed. The enemies are particularly worth mentioning – deadly rotating turnips and vicious potted cacti are pitted against our titular hero, all the while retaining their innocent and adorable expressions.
