Any good old school Zelda clones worth playing? Im looking for something kinda like the GBC ones but any system will do. Straight up clones are welcome but im most interested in ones with unique gimmicks or maybe a different "feel" to them

I'm trying to remember a zelda clone I heard about on chrontendo, all I remember was the hero was cursed to be a girl but turns back into a man at the end and it has some sci-fi elements. It also was localized I believe. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Alundra is the best, but it's more advanced than the GBC ones.

Not exactly what I'd call a clone, but Seiken Densetsu/Final Fantasy Adventure/Mystic Quest is always good for ARPG with a bit of puzzle on the side.

>> No.3276092

I'm probably in the minority here, but I will throw in my two cents anyway:
Neutopia 1 and 2 for the TG-16.
I have payed and beaten them both, and they are not too shabby.

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru is a game that first used the same engine as Link's Awakening.

So what? It's a very different game. Barely any gameplay besides some mild puzzle solving and platforming. It's definitely not a Zelda clone, barely an action adventure and more of a platformer.

I remember having this on a compilation cd. The name caught my eye, and the title screen looked promising, I was expecting a beautiful Amiga-style platformer in the vein of Gods or Stormlord. But when the game started I was immediately disappointed with its cartoonish top-down style. I knew nothing of Zelda games then and failed to recognize the inspiration. Gonna play it now. Were there any other Zelda clones for DOS?

I tried this out on a lark about a week ago and found it pretty great. Hasn't aged too well though so you might find yourself frustrated switching between items and weapons constantly and wrestling with your tiny inventory but the weapon variety is satisfying and the music and graphics are amazing.

Faria? It's a pretty good game, but mostly notable for that weird twist.

Don't forget the sequel! They're excellent games, everyone should give them a go.

Great game, but despite the engine it runs on, it doesn't play like Zelda.

For my fellow Stranded Kids fans.

The fan translation for Stranded Kids 2 is now available as a ROM, google for it and you'll find it. It's even better than the first game in my opinion.
