It's one of the best games ever in my opinion.

The following is every Zelda-like I can recall playing.

Top down Zelda-likes:

Ittle Dew (PC, MAC, Android, IOS, OUYA)
James Bond 007 (GB)
Rolan's Curse and Rolan's Curse 2 (GB)
Final Fantasy Adventure (GB)
Monster House (GBA)
Goof Troop (SNES)

The Legend of Hercules (N64)
And I'd argue Dark Souls as well.

3d dot heroes on ps3 was zelda-like and a more recent one is hyper light drifter

tanukisuit3294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

+1 for 3D Game Heroes - one of my all time fav. I just wish the mini-games were easier... can't get my platinum without those [min-game] rewards, lol.

gamingden3295d ago

I notice you didn't put The Binding of Issac on your list - I never understood how it was Zelda-like either.

P.s. stairfax temperatures (Im a big JonTron fan too!)

tanukisuit3294d ago

This one is pretty popular on STEAM: http://store.steampowered.c...
(Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas)

poppinslops3295d ago

I thought the Fable series had a similar sense of quirkiness and whimsy - from the kingdom-centric fantasy setting to the silent protagonist, 1&2 are must-play games for fans of the Ocarina/Majora era... and 'Secret of Mana' on the SNES is a great example of an old-school 'Zelda-alike'.

link2Dpast3295d ago

It's related and not related to the article. It's not a Zelda type game but When there nothing to throw on I always catch myself going back to the super Mario games and trying to beat them level by level. I'm in the process of beating SM3 and in that process ive seen worlds I usually skipped lol it's incredible. Come to think of it I've only beaten super Mario world level by level. The process now seems so slow and stagnant that I catch myself rushing and ultimately dying and what makes it even harder is having to resist the secrets lol. Non the less it's a great distraction

The Legend of Zelda Wii U E3 2011 Tech Demo recreated in Unreal Engine 4, available for download

DSOGaming writes: "Remember the Legend of Zelda Wii U tech demo that Nintendo showcased back in E3 2011? Well, Aklar_45 has recreated that tech demo in Unreal Engine 4, and has released it to the public. So yeah, while Wii U and Switch owners won't get a Zelda game looking as good as that tech demo, PC gamers can at least get a taste of it."

Would be pretty awesome to see a Zelda like this.

nitus102789d ago

I do agree but I would not be surprised if Nintendo puts out a takedown notice on the video/tech demo

lol what? We didn't even get to see anything new. Didn't know they were even present.

-Foxtrot3215d ago

How? Hardly anything new was shown off. Is this because Zelda + Nintendo

Personally I'd give it to Yooka-Laylee

wonderfulmonkeyman3215d ago (Edited 3214d ago )

Does it matter whether it was new or not?
I don't think that's how Gamescom judges what wins. Zelda got the award because it's an exciting game, and after all the hate Nintendo has gotten lately outside of BotW, I can't see the logic in equating it to "because Nintendo".XD

That said, I agree with Yooka-Laylee being deserving of an award or two as well; They've really struck gold with it.
I wonder if they'll consider a sequel soon afterwards?

BullyMangler3214d ago (Edited 3214d ago )

The new zelda graphics have so much (unique) attention to detail, that nintendo will surely win awards (again) for best looking game ever created, my boy.

This is actually pretty cool. I can't wait until the final game is released to really explore the temple.

guywazeldatatt3221d ago

I'm wondering how much better the NX version will look. supposedly it will look better. the wii u version looked incredible; can't wait to get my hands on them both.

AJBACK2FRAG3219d ago

Nintendo already said it would be the same game. I stupidly thought this game was going to have online multiplayer because different areas were so huge! Look''s like a gorgeous way to send off the Wii U We had to wait for it but it's absolutely a love letter to Nintendo fan's.

wonderfulmonkeyman3220d ago

I wonder what the glow around the statue of the Goddess will do in the full game, when you interact with it?
I'm guessing something minor like a return to full health, but for all we know, that glow could be a cutscene trigger, or even a special trigger for restoring a small part of the memories Link has forgotten during his 100 year slumber...

guywazeldatatt3220d ago

Unfortunately I didn't interact with it as my time was short, but, just seeing it gave me chills. It was a really emotional moment for me.

wonderfulmonkeyman3220d ago

I saw them interact with it in a previous video, and all it did in the demo was pop up some text saying something akin to "The Goddess smiles upon you".
I'm sure the full game will have it do something more than just that.

quent3220d ago

Just beautiful, I hope the nx will have a cheaper launch price then the wiiu, looking to get back into the ninty games.

guywazeldatatt3220d ago

I assume you don't have a Wii U lol. I'm getting both but figure I'll have an easier time getting a review copy with the Wii U version than NX. I really cannot wait for this game!

SkippyPaccino3220d ago

I pre-ordered it on Wii-u, now just waiting to see what the nx is all about before I pull the trigger.

guywazeldatatt3220d ago

The game is worth it. Playing it at E3 was....well it was the highlight of the show for me.
