Some developers used completely different themes, and we get to experience a game that is similar to a Zelda title that we love but with unique mechanics and quite different aesthetics. Developers from all over the world have delivered some very familiar-but-different games that are amazingly fun to play. That’s why it’s not that unusual to feel like something is “like Zelda” when you are playing specific titles.
It’s very obvious to fans of the series that Zelda games have a certain feel that comes from their dungeons, pacing, and overall progression throughout the game. This concept was somewhat used in Ocarina of Time as well, but that game was memorable for various reasons.
I remember playing A Link to the Past and being quite amazed by the fact that the entire world changed at some point, and you essentially played in two different maps.
The Legend of Zelda is a legendary series - no pun intended - and therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising that many games were and still are heavily inspired by it.Įven to this date, old and new Zelda games serve as inspiration to new titles since they were most likely groundbreaking and incredibly memorable to people who develop games today.
